Science and technology, explained simply
NASA has shown a photo of the golden glow of the Earth’s atmosphere, which was taken from the International Space Station (ISS), Space reports. Atmospheric glow, or air glow, occurs when sunlight interacts with atoms and molecules in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Nitrogen, oxygen, sodium, and ozone molecules are excited by ultraviolet […]
On January 31, Rocket Lab launched four satellites into orbit as part of the Four of a Kind mission, Space reports. The Electron rocket launched from the Rocket Lab in New Zealand at 08:34 Kyiv time, launching four space surveillance satellites (SSA) for NorthStar Earth & Space. The Low Earth Multi-Role Receiver (LEMUR) satellites were […]
Scientists have developed a new way to charge gadgets that uses sound energy. According to Interesting engineering, this method allows charging devices without using traditional batteries, just using sounds such as the human voice. The technology is based on the use of piezoelectric materials that convert sound waves into electrical energy. When sound waves interact […]
Asteroid 2024 BJ, discovered only 10 days before its approach to Earth, was recorded by astronomers of the Virtual Telescope project. It is noted that at the closest distance, the asteroid was only 353,000 kilometers from our planet, which corresponds to about 92% of the average distance between the Earth and the Moon. Participants in […]
The Italian company Thales Alenia Space (a contractor of the American Axiom Space) has published images from the production of the main structures of the first Axiom space module, Hub 1. When the module parts are ready, they will be delivered to the Axiom Space facility in Houston, Texas, USA, where they will be integrated […]
Being inside the Milky Way, we can say little about our galaxy as a single object. But on the other hand, we can look around and find a lot of similar spiral galaxies in the Universe and look at our cosmic home as if from the side. Today, NASA offers to enjoy the magnificent views […]
Scientists in China have cloned endangered Tibetan cows for the first time, the government of the Tibetan Autonomous Region reports, China Daily notes. This was achieved by transferring somatic cell nuclei. We are talking about two types of cows that live in the highlands of Tibet. Yu Dawei, a researcher at the Research Institute of […]
As an important step towards creating the conditions for human missions to Mars and beyond, NASA has chosen deep sleep technology for development. The Studying Torpor in Animals for Space-health in Humans (STASH) experiment, developed by researchers from Fauna Bio Inc. aims to study the possibility of inducing “torpor” in humans to reduce health risks […]
When it’s winter in Ukraine, it’s summer in Antarctica. Polar explorers from the Akademik Vernadsky station showed how “green” it can be. The amazing landscapes were captured by Serhiy Glotov and Dmytro Martynenko. “Usually, only snow, ice, frost and icicles are associated with the Antarctic. But now it is summer there, and at this time […]
Scientists studying bacteria living in the human intestine have discovered a completely new class of virus-like objects. No sequences or even structural similarities with other biological objects were found in them This was reported by Science Alert. Stanford University biologist Ivan Zheludev and his colleagues believe that they have found not viruses, but a completely […]
