Scientists have 'reset the clock' for craters on the Moon, meaning that parts of its surface - which characterise the children's story of the Man in the Moon - are around 200 million years older than had been thought.
Researchers from Norway and France have found a way of coordinating and recalibrating two conflicting systems of dating the surface of the Moon. This new evaluation shows tha

Earth planning: Monday, July 10, 2023 This weekend, Curiosity went into runout and was unable to execute the Sols 3882-3884 plan that is detailed in last blog post. Nothing is actually wrong; runout refers to when the rover doesn't have anything to do as it hasn't received any new instructions. Runout is normally caused by an error in the uplink process - in this case, the transmitter at our DSN

Earth Planning Date: Friday, July 7, 2023. Happy Friday, Earthlings! Few things are better than planning an action-packed weekend on Mars. It's even better when the last plan executed like a charm; our drive from Wednesday's plan made it over 44 meters and put us in veiny, layered bedrock heaven! We're still headed towards a local cluster of craters ~150 meters to the east, and my Mastcam brain

Our universe could be twice as old as current estimates, according to a new study that challenges the dominant cosmological model and sheds new light on the so-called "impossible early galaxy problem."
"Our newly-devised model stretches the galaxy formation time by a several billion years, making the universe 26.7 billion years old, and not 13.7 as previously estimated," says author Rajend

The mystery of the first galaxies of the universe is an indomitable urge of human beings. The formation of them is mastered by the nature of dark matter which is also one of the most important problems faced by fundamental physics. However, understanding the nature of dark matter-for example, whether it is cold or warm-and its subsequent effect on the first galaxy formation is a huge challenge.

It flies by thousands of galaxies, starting with those nearby and ending with less-developed galaxies in the very distant universe, including one never seen before Webb.
