Recently, the Earth experienced a level-four geomagnetic storm, which has the potential to bring the northern lights to night skies further south than usual. This phenomenon is a result of solar storms caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) – explosions of particles leaving the Sun. When these particles reach Earth, they disrupt the planet’s magnetic

The age and vastness of the Milky Way galaxy suggest that there should be numerous intelligent civilizations spread throughout the cosmos. However, the question remains – where is everybody? A recent study proposes that alien civilizations may be too advanced for us to detect using our current methods of observation. In an effort to understand

The realm of cosmic rays has long been a puzzling mystery for scientists, dating back to their discovery in 1912 by Austrian-American physicist Victor Hess. The revelation that high-energy particles were bombarding Earth from space shattered previous assumptions about the origins of radiation. These cosmic rays, consisting of atomic nuclei and elementary particles accelerated to

Mars, our red, dusty neighbor in the solar system, has long been a source of fascination for scientists. Recent analysis of seismic data collected by the Mars InSight lander has revealed something truly remarkable – massive reservoirs of liquid water hiding deep below the surface of the planet. This discovery has raised many questions about

The planets Venus and Earth, often considered sister planets, have taken divergent paths in terms of their evolution and characteristics. Earth boasts a rich and diverse environment with moderate temperatures, vibrant oceans, and flourishing vegetation, while Venus is plagued by a hostile atmosphere, corrosive rains, extreme temperatures, and crushing pressure. Beyond just surface appearances, the

In a bid to rival Starlink, a state-backed Chinese company, Shanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology, has successfully launched its first 18 satellites. The company aims to build a vast orbital network, known as the “Thousand Sails Constellation,” which will eventually consist of 15,000 satellites orbiting in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) by 2030. This project has been

The night sky has always captivated humanity with its twinkling stars, celestial events, and mysterious phenomena. One such phenomenon that has intrigued astronomers and stargazers alike is the occurrence of nova explosions. Contrary to ancient beliefs that stars are fixed and unchanging, novae are unexpected events that transform a star’s brightness in a matter of
