26 billion kWh hit earth’s upper atmosphere

A recent flurry of eruptions on the sun had done more than spark pretty auroras around the two poles in earth according to scientists Researchers, funded by NASA say that the solar storms that started from March 8 and ended in March 10, dumped enough energy in Earth’s upper atmosphere to power every residence in […]

Copper-striped blue-tailed skink from Hawaii is officially extinct

Scientists have confirmed that there have been no sightings of the blue-tailed lizard in the Hawaiian Islands since the 1960s and are now calling this vertebrate species extinct According to scientists, a species of lizard from the Hawaiian Islands is officially extinct. The copper striped blue-tailed skink whose biological name is Emoia impar, was last […]

Another galaxy detected by astronomers from Australia

Scientists have discovered an Emerald-Cut Dwarf Galaxy which is located 70 million light-years away from Earth. The rare rectangular-shaped galaxy is located almost 70 million light-years away from us in the Eridanus Group, in the Eridanus constellation. LEDA 074886 is called the emerald-cut galaxy and was recently located by an international team of astronomers of […]

NuSTAR to probe the insides of super massive black holes

On a modest budget of 165 million $, NASA has developed NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array) which will probe the insides of the super massive black holes hidden inside of galaxies Both space-based telescopes are sensitive to high-energy photons produced at the thresholds of supermassive black holes. NuSTAR will be ferried into orbit by a […]

Females should spend more time on the gym according to research

In a pretty unconventional research, it has been concluded that females should spend more time on the gym in order to achieve an orgasm In Bloomington, Indiana, researchers have deduced that rather than eying a hot date, women should actually spend more time on the gym in order to achieve orgasm, often called ‘coregasm’.

Scientists study magnetic anomalies on the moon

A new reports suggests that the magnetic anomalies observed on the moon are actually remnants of massive asteroid collision which occurred almost 4 billion years ago. According to the research team, the metallic iron on an asteroid could have been magnetized by the impact and topographical surveys indicate that they are spread around the rim […]

Methane can be a clean energy source according to scientists

Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are researching ways to use methane as a clean energy source by capturing the CO2 byproduct in an ice-like state. The researchers are using SNAP to look at the molecular level relationship between methane and water to better understand how hydrocarbons are taken up and released in the […]

NASA publishes new videos of the Moon

During its mission, the Galileo spacecraft returned a number of images of Earth’s only natural satellite. Galileo surveyed the moon on Dec. 7, 1992, on its way to explore the Jupiter system in 1995-1997. This color mosaic was assembled from 18 images taken by Galileo’s imaging system through a green filter. On the upperleft is […]

Rapidly retreating glacial ice is a threat to many species

The rapid retreatment of glaciers is altering more than just the physical landscape according to a recent analysis. Species that are living in streams and rivers flowing from the melting glaciers could start disappearing to the point of being extinct if half of the glacial cover in a region is lost. A team of scientists […]

Titan, Saturn’s largest moon is finally unravelled in detail

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn which is one of the most coldest places in our solar system, a new collection of 13 studies on Titan reveal craters and rivers that were previously undetected have now been unravelled in detail The studies have also revealed new details about the moon’s eerie 29.5-Earth-year-long seasonal cycle. […]

NASA continues to monitor solar flares this week

On March 8, 2012 at 10:53 P.M EST, the sun erupted with an M6.3 class flare which released a CME about an hour later. Apart from the rising geomagnetic storm conditions, the active region 1429 has produced two X class flares and many M-class flares. The NASA Space Weather Center models show that the CME […]
