Science and technology, explained simply
In a new study, scientists have linked faults located in the moon’s South Polar Region to one of the most powerful lunar earthquakes recorded by Apollo seismometers more than 50 years ago. According to a new study, the Moon is gradually shrinking, leading to a growing number of landslides that could endanger future astronauts. The […]
Scientists plan to send a new robot surgeon to the ISS. Its successful test will pave the way for the use of similar facilities on Earth. A manipulator will also be sent into space to move various cargoes in zero gravity. A robotic surgeon may soon enter the orbit of our planet. Although it won’t […]
Modern astronomers are getting closer to solving the mystery of the origin of the most massive and ancient black holes in the Universe. Thanks to the data obtained during observations using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have gathered irrefutable evidence that black holes of extremely large size existed in the young Universe. Although […]
The Jezero crater in the northern part of Mars, formed by a meteorite, once contained a huge lake and a river delta, which gives hope for finding remnants of life in the past. According to Science Daily, this was confirmed by NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover using a special radar. Over the centuries, sedimentation and erosion […]
Liquid water is considered to be the main condition for the emergence of life similar to Earth. It has a number of properties that allow it to be a medium for biochemical processes. However, scientists are thinking about what substances on other planets could replace it. Water and other substances may be biological solvents on […]
On January 26, Lina Borozdina, a native of Odesa who lives in the United States, will join Virgin Galactic in a suborbital flight of the Unity ship. She will be accompanied by three other space tourists. She wrote about this on her Facebook page, and the information is confirmed by the Virgin Galactic website. “After […]
NASA opened a container with samples of the asteroid Bennu after several months of attempts and showed a photo of the filling. The image shows the rock that the OSIRIS-REx probe took from the asteroid. According to OSIRIS-REx team member Lindsay Keller, the scientists examined the samples almost at the atomic level. The asteroid Bennu, […]
A new artificial intelligence system has successfully detected dozens of entrances to caves on Mars using images of the planet’s surface where people could live. This was reported by the British edition of The Independent. Researchers from Durham University in the UK have trained the CaveFinder machine learning algorithm to recognize potential cave entrances from […]
The Event Horizon Telescope team has published a new, most detailed image of the black hole M87, which was created using an additional telescope and independent data collected in 2018. The team of the telescope reported this on its website. The previous image was taken in 2017, but with the new improvements, the team has […]
The latest photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope captures the collision of two spiral galaxies, NGC 6040 and LEDA 59642, at a distance of about 570 million light years from Earth. This incredible cosmic event looks spectacular and dynamic, but in fact it is quite slow and will take hundreds of millions of years. […]
