Scientists shed light on the unusual origin of a familiar meteor shower
Each winter, the Geminid meteors light up the sky as they race past Earth, producing one of the most intense meteor showers in the night sky. Now, NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission is providing new evidence that a violent, catastrophic event created the Geminids.
Most meteor showers come from comets, which are made of ice and dust. When a comet travels close to the Sun, the ice evaporates A Geologist in a Rock Shop: Sols 3859-3860
It appears that Curiosity's recent traverse has turned a new leaf as this is the second successful drive after lots of slipping and sliding. The new workspace is full of goodies for us to target and fill our 2-sol plan with, in addition to new perspectives of features off in the distance. The rover passed the "Slip Risk Assessment Process" (SRAP) which means we can unstow the arm and use its ins DESI data sheds more light on 3D map of cosmos, study of universe
Dr. Mustapha Ishak-Boushaki, a theoretical astrophysicist at The University of Texas at Dallas, has spent his career seeking answers to some of the universe's greatest mysteries, including why the expansion of the universe seems to be accelerating and whether gravity behaves differently beyond our closest cosmic neighbors.
To study these and other questions, a large collaboration of scient Gemini North detects multiple heavier elements in atmosphere of hot Exoplanet
Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF's NOIRLab, have detected multiple rock-forming elements in the atmosphere of a Jupiter-sized exoplanet, WASP-76b. The planet is so perilously close to its host star that rock-forming elements - such as magnesium, calcium, and nickel - become vaporized and dispersed throughout its scorch More countries encouraged to commit to halt destructive ASAT tests
Despite an overwhelming vote of support by the United Nations General Assembly six months ago, advocates of a moratorium on one type of anti-satellite tests say they are still working to get more countries to adopt it.
Sun-watching Proba-3 formation flyers tested for take-off
ESA’s pair of Sun-watching Proba-3 satellites have been placed in take-off configuration, one on top of the other, for testing in simulated launch and space conditions at IABG in Germany, ahead of their planned lift-off next year.

As climate change increases the risk of wildfires across the globe, the spate of fires that hit Canada in May and June suggest that 2023 is on course to be the country’s worst fire season to date. These fires not only Winners unravel Euclid #CosmicMystery with creative inspiration
Over 90 participants were up for the challenge to visualise just how much we know and don’t know in the Universe and explain the #CosmicMystery that ESA’s Euclid mission will soon begin to investigate. From songs, crochets and animations to apparel, paintings and baked goods, the creativity of participants amazed the judges.
