Life in the wild is never constant; animals adapt quickly if they are to survive. Climate change, the reduction of habitats, and human interference are factors that are increasingly affecting natural populations. While certain species adapt well in the wild and can survive easily, others struggle even to survive among the different natural conditions they…
Imagine hearing a sound that began its journey before our galaxy even existed. That is what astronomers are doing now. They are picking up faint signals that have travelled for more than 13 billion years to reach Earth. These signals come from a time when the universe was still very young, long before the Milky…
Mars had an Arctic-sized ocean, and scientists are only now beginning to see the outline of it. For a long time, the planet has been described as dry and stripped of anything familiar. Yet images gathered over years have kept suggesting something quieter and older beneath the dust. Channels that do not quite fade. Slopes…
NASA plans a mission to study the Sun’s magnetic heart and its hidden storms NASA has selected a proposed solar mission for further study as part of its Small Explorer programme, extending early design work rather than approving a launch. The mission, known as the Chromospheric Magnetism Explorer, or CMEx, will now move into an…
Oceanographers studying the Atlantic Ocean are revisiting an old assumption using newer data and slower, more detailed analysis. For decades, researchers believed the Atlantic lacked a true equatorial water mass, unlike the Pacific and Indian oceans. Instead, water in this zone was thought to be an extension of South Atlantic Central Water. Using temperature and…
The Indian space program has kick-started its ambitious launch plans for 2026 with the launch of PSLV-C62, a crucial move that will involve coupling commercial satellite launchers with a high-end earth observation system for improved data collection and analysis.According to the latest reports available, ISRO has confirmed that there had been a technical anomaly on…
Pluto takes 248 years to go around the Sun and it will complete its orbit in 2178. AI- generated Pluto sits far out in the Solar System, small and dim, moving at a pace that barely fits human timelines. It was found in 1930, at a time when astronomy still relied on patient observation and…
This screengrab from video provided by NASA TV shows the SpaceX Dragon departing from the ISS Nasa began its first-ever medical evacuation from the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, bringing back an astronaut in need of medical care along with three crewmates. The four astronauts, from the US, Russia, and Japan, are scheduled to…
The International Space Station on Monday witnessed the change of command with outgoing Crew 11 handing over the charge to Roscosmos.The ceremony, broadcasted live, was necessitated early after one of the astronauts of Crew 11 faced medical issues, the details of which the space agency hasn’t revealed. Nasa‘s Mike Fincke turned the station over to…
In tropical forests across Central and South America, a quiet tree hides one of the most violent forms of seed dispersal found in nature. Known to scientists as Hura crepitans and to locals as the dynamite tree, it earns its name not through myth but through sound and force. When its fruit reaches maturity, it…
