NASA’s Space Umbrella Project: Earth’s magnetic field vs. solar winds (Image source: NASA) There is a constant outward flow of charged particles from the Sun. This flow, known as the solar wind, moves across space and reaches Earth every day. When it arrives, it meets the planet’s magnetic field, an invisible region that bends and…
A star 1,540 times bigger than the Sun has changed; will it explode (AI-generated) Far beyond the Milky Way, in a nearby satellite galaxy, a giant star has been shifting in a way astronomers did not expect. The star, known as WOH G64, sits inside the Large Magellanic Cloud, roughly 163,000 light-years from Earth. It…
Which species is most likely to take over Earth after humans vanish (Image Source – Canva) Professor Tim Coulson describes evolution as a gradual process that alters living organisms over generations. The mechanism is ordinary but powerful. Small genetic mutations appear in DNA. Most do little or cause harm. A few improve survival or reproduction….
Scientist in America are electrocuting lakes and the reason is alarming (Image Source – Canva) Water in parts of the United States is being shocked on purpose. Not for spectacle, and not to remove rubbish, but to count what is living below the surface. State wildlife teams and university researchers have been lowering electrodes into…
The Hubble Space Telescope has been orbiting Earth for over 35 years now. Billions of miles away, floating above our heads, it has completely changed how we see the universe. Stars, galaxies, nebulae, which Hubble has seen it all and it’s been doing this nonstop since 1990.The telescope might not stay up there forever. Its…
Germany has entered one of the most controversial frontiers of modern defence research: the creation of bioelectronic insects for surveillance and reconnaissance. A German startup, SWARM Biotactics, has unveiled prototypes that combine living insects with neural interfaces, miniature sensors and AI-assisted control systems. The concept aims to turn insects into mobile intelligence platforms capable of…
Quote of the day by Louis Pasteur (Image source: Wikipedia) Louis Pasteur’s words perfectly sum up what science is and how it can change lives all over the world. Pasteur was one of the most important scientists in history. He did important research in microbiology, immunisation, and disease prevention. His work showed us how germs…
On March 3, 2026, the Moon will turn red in a rare total lunar eclipse. This Blood Moon coincides with Holi, giving the sky its own festival of colour. In many regions, the Moon will rise already glowing red, making the eclipse feel like a dramatic opening act for the evening. For those in the…
A 140-foot asteroid is set to sweep past Earth today, and it seems everyone is taking notice. Astronomers have been tracking the space rock, officially named 2026 CU1, as it makes its high-speed journey through the inner solar system. It travels at nearly 18,803 miles per hour. Yet, NASA reassures us that it poses no…
NASA captures ‘heart-shaped’ lake glowing pink in Argentina ( Image Source – NASA) In the heat of the austral summer, a shallow salt lake in southern Argentina turns a muted shade of pink. The site, known as Salinas Las Barrancas, sits near the port city of Bahía Blanca. In January 2024, an astronaut aboard the…
