Scientists Discover Planet That May Support Human Life
According to a study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists discovered a planet that may support human life, named Gliese 12 b. An unusual and intriguing finding has been uncovered by astronomers: an exoplanet 40 light-years away that resembles Earth and may be somewhat warmer than Earth. In the Monthly […]
Why Time Will Stop In 2029
UC San Diego geophysicist Professor Duncan Agnew stated in his paper that as Earth’s rotation has been increasing, time will stop in 2029, and a second could be removed. Every four years, there is an additional day added to February, which is referred to as a leap year. However, an additional “leap second” is added […]
Imagine Earth With 1000 People
The United Nations Population Division’s population figures were used by Visual Capitalists to imagine Earth with 1000 people. Over the past 50 years, the number of people on the planet has doubled. We will have 8 billion people on Earth by 2022. UN estimates state that by July 2023, there will be 8,045,311,447 people on […]
Saturn’s Iconic Rings Will Disappear Soon
Astronomers predict that by 2025, Saturn’s Iconic Rings will disappear and will not be visible from Earth due to a tilt in Saturn’s angle. The planet’s rings will disappear in March 2025, therefore those amateur astronomers who would like to witness them should seize the chance as soon as possible. Saturn is the planet in […]
The Earth’s Rotational Pole Has Shifted From All The Groundwater We’ve Pumped Out
A study conducted by researchers at Seoul National University has found that the Earth’s rotational pole has shifted due to the extraction of groundwater. Earth is, in many ways, a water world. Around two-thirds of its surface is covered in water, and the oceans that provide that cover make up over 96% of all water […]
Scientists Find Link Between Surges Of Cosmic Radiation From Space And Earthquakes
Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Krakow, Poland, have found a link between surges of cosmic radiation from space and earthquakes on Earth. Scientists have identified a striking link between earthquakes and changes in the intensity of cosmic radiation measured on Earth’s surface, according to […]
Water On Earth Did Not Form On Its Own. It Was Sucked From Space
A study published in the journal Nature has revealed that water on Earth did not form on its own but was instead acquired from outer space. Scientists have made a surprising discovery that suggests the Earth might have formed more quickly than previously believed. It appears that tiny millimeter-sized pebbles coming together could have led […]
Earth Once Had Just 19-Hour-Long Days
According to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Earth once had just 19-hour-long days due to the presence of the Moon. Earth once had days that were only 19 hours long, a stark contrast to the current 24-hour cycle, which is the result of the planets rotation on its own axis. During a […]
Another Moon Found Orbiting Earth
Asteroid 2023 FW13 is another quasi-moon that has been found orbiting Earth and has been revolving around Earth since 100 BC. Astronomers recently discovered Asteroid 2023 FW13. This asteroid has amazed asteroid watchers because of its riveting properties. It is only about the size of a 5-storey building and it is not gravitationally bound to […]
First-Ever Video Livestream Done From Mars. Feed Reaches Earth In 17 Minutes
The European Space Agency successfully conducted the first-ever video livestream from Mars, and the feed reached Earth in 17 minutes. In what could be the future, the European Space Agency successfully conducted the first-ever video live stream from Mars. Europe’s Mars Express hovering above the Red Planet beamed the video feed, which reached Earth minutes […]
