Odd, colorful clouds on Mars spotted by NASA’s Curiosity rover
Wispy, colorful clouds could be seen hovering in the Martian sky in images released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on May 28. The images were taken by NASA’s curiosity rover from near the Martian equator and showed what are apparently seasonal features on Mars. Clouds are typically found floating at the planet’s equator in the […]

Massive “ocean” hidden in Earth’s mantle linked to deep-focus earthquakes, research suggests
A massive “ocean” hidden in the Earth’s mantle may be triggering earthquakes that originate deep in the planet’s interior. This is what researchers from Carnegie Institute for Science and University of Alberta in Canada suggest in their study, which links fluids trapped in rocks deep underground to so-called deep-focus earthquakes. The researchers detailed their findings in a paper published May 26 in the journal AGU […]

Glaciers on Mars could help astronauts survive on the planet
Researchers discovered what appeared to be shallow glaciers beneath the Martian surface. These features might be rich in water ice and are situated in the northern lowlands beneath a flat region called Arcadia Planitia. The researchers said that this region could serve as a landing site for future crewed missions to Mars while the glaciers could provide a water […]

Ancient “embassy” in famed Mayan city hints at two allied states turned bitter foes
Archaeologists unearthed what might be an embassy hidden in the ancient Maya city of Tikal in what is now Guatemala. Built around A.D. 300, the embassy was a sprawling courtyard that featured a pyramid, a burial site and sundry items, all of which appeared to have been informed by the artistic sensibilities of Teotihuacan, a rival city hundreds of miles away in […]

Sunspot unleashes a dozen solar flares in a day, causing radio blackouts worldwide
A sunspot unleashed a chain of solar flares last Saturday, May 22, jamming radio signals over North America and Southeast Asia and potentially causing a disturbance to Earth’s magnetic field. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recorded a total of 12 solar flares erupting from sunspot AR2824 within a day. Ten of those were weak and had few noticeable consequences while the remaining two were […]

Mysterious radio circles in outer space could be newfound remnants of black hole mergers, study suggests
A new study suggests that the gigantic blobs of radio emissions found floating in outer space in 2019 could be the result of two colliding black holes. Researchers note that the blobs, which they dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORC), are unlike anything seen before. While they have offered other hypotheses, they also raise the possibility that a highly energetic event took […]

Jupiter’s Europa may have pockets of water that could support alien life – study
Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) suggest that Jupiter’s Europa may have pockets of water within its crust that may be able to support alien life. Europa, the fourth largest of Jupiter’s moons, has high odds of being habitable. Past studies suggest that an ocean of liquid water lurks beneath Europa’s 15-mile-thick frozen crust. This extraterrestrial ocean contains salts […]

Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field like GPS, study suggests
A new study published in the journal Current Biology suggests that sharks use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way in the sea. Researchers led by biologist Bryan Keller reported this after exposing bonnethead sharks to different magnetic conditions. In one test, the bonnetheads were tricked into thinking that they were located south of their home. In response, the […]

Study: Fire retardant used in furniture and insulation linked to antisocial behavior
A study published in the journal Environmental Health shows that commonly used fire retardants may increase children’s risk of antisocial behavior. Researchers from Oregon State University and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that children with higher levels of exposure to certain types of flame retardants are more likely to exhibit antisocial […]

“Blue” sand dunes on Mars stun in NASA photo
The sand dunes of Mars looked blue in a stunning photo that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shared on April 8. Captured using a special infrared camera onboard NASA’s Mars Odyssey orbiter, the breathtaking image covered an area of 19 miles somewhere on the Martian north pole. In the image, a sea of windswept sand dunes could be seen stretched out across […]
