It will be a completely free service, with no subscription fees, and you won’t have to watch ads. NASA+ will be available from November 8. The space agency announced the release of its upcoming streaming service […]
It seems that low gravity has its advantages, including increased resistance to cold. Plants are able to survive in low-gravity conditions, such as on the Moon, according to the results of an important experiment described in two articles in the journals Microgravity Science and Technology and Acta Astronautica, IFLScience writes. Farm on the Moon When […]
Scientists from NASA’s George Marshall Space Flight Center have shown some eerie images captured by their cameras watching meteors in the night sky. NASA has shared a series of mysterious and spooky images for Halloween. Some of them are very easy to solve, for example, one of the pictures clearly shows a frog. The rest, […]
Scientists have uncovered the secrets of MSH 15-52, one of the most amazing pulsar nebulae, also known as the “cosmic hand” or “hand of God”. With the help of two powerful X-ray telescopes, the scientists were able to visualize the “bones” in the ghostly hand, which are magnetic fields. The NASA Chandra X-ray Observatory and […]
Scientists have “resurrected” tiny creatures that existed in the time of woolly mammoths and spent the last 50,000 years in hibernation. Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are one of the few organisms that can survive in such extreme conditions for a long period of time. To do this, they are known to enter a state […]
On board the International Space Station, which orbits the Earth at an altitude of about 400 kilometers above the planet’s surface, scientists have for the first time cultivated and grown mouse embryos in microgravity. The results of the experiment, designed and led by molecular biologist Teruhiko Wakayama of Yamanashi University, showed that mouse embryos can, […]
On October 29, 2023, SpaceX launched 22 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit from the Vandenberg Space Force Complex in California, Space reports. The Falcon 9 rocket was launched at 11:00 a.m. Kyiv time. The first stage of the Falcon 9 returned to Earth about 8.5 minutes after launch on the automatic platform Of Course I […]
Scientists from Brazil have developed a vaccine designed to fight addiction to cocaine and its potent derivative crack – it prevents drug addicts from feeling the effects of drugs and helps them stay on the road to recovery. The drug, known as Calixcoca, was developed by a team from Brazil’s Federal University of Minas Gerais. […]
NASA has shown how it is assembling the first lunar spacecraft for astronauts in 50 years, the Orion, for the Artemis 2 project, which is scheduled to fly around the moon in 2024 with a crew of four. On October 19, the spacecraft was connected to the service module. In the future, it will undergo […]
Fructose can cause obesity by stimulating the consumption of more fatty foods. Researchers have developed the fructose survival hypothesis, which explains the link between various obesity factors. Fructose is a destructive element that pushes the metabolism towards obesity. Although it does not provide many calories, it provokes the desire to consume more fatty foods, which […]
