 A newly discovered crescent of galaxies spanning 3.3 billion light-years is one of the world’s largest known structures, challenging some of astronomers’ most fundamental assumptions about the universe. The epic arrangement known as the Giant Arc is made up of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and a lot of gas and dust. It is located 9.2 billion […]

The fact that the universe is not locally real is one of the more disquieting discoveries of the last half-century. “Real,” which indicates that objects have defined attributes independent of observation—for example, an apple can be red even when no one is looking; “local,” which means that objects can only be impacted by their surroundings,

 In June 2014, five friends in Arizona planned to send a GoPro, a camcorder, and a phone up in a weather balloon to record some footage of space. Bryan Chan, Ved Chirayath, Ashish Goel, Paul Tarantino, and Tyler Reid, all college students, built their gadget, calculated its trajectory, registered with the FAA to avoid interfering

We all see mesmerizing views when flying, but some are more exceptional than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic noticed one of these, according to a post shared on Reddit. The caption says, “Mysterious red glow seen over the Atlantic, pilot says he’s never seen anything like it. Via July 2022.”  A frightening red glow 

This is the first time that scientists have discovered a signal coming from a galaxy 9 billion light years from Earth. The radio signal was detected by Pune, India’s giant VHF radio telescope. The huge radio telescope is equipped with thirty parabolic antennas, each pointed skyward and with a diameter of about 45 meters. This

Earth’s magnetic field dramatically flipped a little more than 40,000 years ago. We can now experience this epic upheaval, thanks to a clever interpretation of information collected by the European Space Agency’s Swarm satellite mission. Combining the satellite data with evidence of magnetic field line movements on Earth, European geoscientists mapped the so-called Laschamps event and represented it using natural noises

The temporary belts, one of which still remains, were filled with high-energy electrons and protons and were found by a satellite that came back from the dead. The great solar storm of May 2024, which sparked beautiful auroral displays over much of the world, also created two new radiation belts that were observed with a

University of Cambridge physicists have developed a theoretical foundation for the existence of wormholes, which are pipelines that connect two dissimilar places in space-time. Time travel and instant communication across great distances may become possible if a piece of data or a physical object could pass through the wormhole. This is an Updated Version of

We’ve yet to see a falling piece of space debris strike an airplane, but if it happens, the consequences would almost certainly be catastrophic – and according to a new study, the danger posed to planes is only rising. The researchers behind the study, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, looked at worldwide flight data
