Greenbelt MD (SPX) Oct 17, 2024
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a vivid and captivating close-up of R Aquarii, a binary star system located about 700 light-years from Earth. The system's chaotic eruptions create vast spirals of glowing gas, resembling a frenzied lawn sprinkler, and showcase the universe's process of recycling nuclear material expelled by stars.

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 17, 2024
More than 50 million people worldwide suffer from sarcopenia, an age-related condition that causes muscle loss, weakened strength, and reduced functionality, increasing the likelihood of falls and fractures, according to the World Health Organization. Currently, exercise is the only known treatment. However, researchers at the University of Florida, through a study sponsored by the ISS National

Researchers date Moon's oldest impact basin, revealing ancient lunar history
Write a comment
London, UK (SPX) Oct 18, 2024
Scientists believe they could have pinpointed the age of the Moon's largest and oldest impact basin to over 4.32 billion years ago.
Like Earth, the Moon has been struck by numerous asteroids and comets, creating craters and basins. However, determining the exact timing of these impacts, especially the age of the Moon's oldest and largest basin, has been challenging - until now.

Potential microbial habitats in Martian ice
Write a comment
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 18, 2024
Martian ice deposits may hold conditions suitable for photosynthetic life, according to a recent study published in 'Communications Earth and Environment'. The research suggests that regions of exposed ice in the mid-latitudes of Mars could offer a protective environment for microbial life, shielding it from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation while still allowing enough light for photosynthesis
