Astronomers Have Mapped The Paths of Hazardous Asteroids For The Next 1,000 Years

While our census of hazardous NEOs is not nearly complete, we do have reliable maps of nearly all of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than a kilometer (0.6 mile) across.

Saturn's moon count grows by 62 for a record 145 satellites

New discoveries by a team of astronomers added 62 new moons to Saturn’s existing 83, bringing its total to 145.  Therefore, Saturn is the first planet known to have more than 100 moons.

NASA supercomputer makes predictions to give time to prepare for solar storms

The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms.

Largest-Ever Cosmic Explosion Has Raged for Years

The explosive event labeled AT2021lwx was observed to be ten times brighter than any known supernova. This thing we have never, ever seen before – it just came out of nowhere.

Surprise Magnetic Signal May Finally Solve The Mystery of Fast Radio Bursts

In a new research scientists observed a repeating fast radio burst for more than a year and discovered signs it is surrounded by a strong but highly changeable magnetic field.

Scientists announce rough draft of human pangenome

To build the pangenome, scientists used data from the 1000 Genomes Project, which included participants from across ethnic groups. The development is a landmark in genomics.

A cosmic object 10 million times brighter than the Sun breaks the laws of Physics

There’s a celestial body in the galaxy messier 82also known as the Cigar Galaxywhich emits 10 million times more light than the Sun. According to the laws of Physics,this is only possible if the body is about to explode. 

Astronomers spot a star swallowing a planet

Scientists have observed a star swallowing a planet for the first time. Earth will meet a similar fate in 5 billion years.

Doctors Conduct Brain Surgery on Fetus in Womb in World First

For the first time, surgeons have successfully repaired a major malformation in the brain of a fetus.

Scientists Nearly Doubled Yeast Cells' Longevity

This might represent a fundamental breakthrough in our quest to slow the inevitable march of time.

Astronomers find the remains of the Universe's first stars

For the first time ever, we were able to identify the chemical traces of the explosions of the first stars in very distant gas clouds.

Almost 20,000 Ancient Volcanoes Discovered at The Bottom of The Ocean

That brings the total to 43,454 undersea mountains, almost doubling the number we knew about.

Brain scans can translate a person's thoughts into words

In a new study, a model trained on functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of three volunteers was able to predict whole sentences they were hearing with surprising accuracy—just by looking at their brain activity. 

Scientists are alarmed by ocean temperatures

A study published in April found the heat in the climate system was accelerating, spelling bad news for the oceans. It found the rate of change in how much heat the Earth has accumulated has more than doubled over the last two decades.

Evidence of increased brain activity right before death

At the time of death, brain activity was detected in the TPJ region of the brain - a recent study found. The TPJ region already has a known association with dreaming, hallucinations, and altered states of consciousness.
