New data on the SARS-CoV-2 virus appears every day. On the one hand, all new information about the disease is good, because to defeat CoVID-19, scientists need to know as much as possible. On the other hand, some data cannot be considered good at all – for example, coronavirus mortality has increased to 5.5% worldwide, […]
Recently, astronomers at the University of Geneva discovered a somewhat unusual planet with the telescope of the European Southern Observatory in Chile. This is a cloudy world, the atmosphere of which is so rich in iron that it rains from the sky. The exoplanet was named Wasp-76b and, according to an official press release, has […]
According to the results of a new study, our galaxy consists of an atrium of dark matter that surrounds the disk of the Milky Way. Remember that dark matter is the most mysterious substance in the universe that cannot be seen and that only occurs during the gravitational interaction of space objects. Recently, Durham University […]
Michelle Kunimoto, a student at the University of British Columbia School of Astronomy, discovered 17 new exoplanets, including a potentially inhabited planet the size of Earth, phys.org reported. After examining the data the NASA-Kepler mission collected during its first four-year program, the researcher discovered traces of previously unnoticed objects in locations in the so-called "Goldilocks […]
The possibility of using an electric charge is the result of a millennial human study of nature. What a lightning bolt was, a man began to think almost from the beginning of his existence, but the real nature of electricity was only understood by him in the 18th century. Perhaps this moment has become a […]
The exoplanet K2-18b, which is 124 light-years from Earth, was discovered in 2015 in the constellation Leo in the orbit of the red dwarf star K2-18. After analyzing the atmosphere of the discovered object, the scientists found traces of the presence of a large amount of water vapor on the planet, according to the portal […]
Like its closest neighbors, the solar system is literally filled with asteroids. Most of these objects will never intersect with us, but some of them will actually or will pose a threat to our planet in the future. The asteroid Chiksulub, for example, experienced a real “doomsday” on Earth 65 million years ago and destroyed […]
Researchers have discovered the only animal in the world that does not need oxygen to survive. It turned out to be a common salmon parasite. A study published in the National Academy of Sciences journal Proceedings showed that the parasite Henneguya salminicola does not require breathing to survive – a revelation that can change the […]
In a distant galaxy more than half a billion light years away, astronomers have discovered molecular oxygen. Despite the high prevalence of this element in the solar system, which is important for the formation of organic life, the presence of oxygen has only been officially confirmed for three objects in the Milky Way. How exactly […]
Every year, astronomers discover many new exoplanets. Some of these distant worlds are covered in ice, while others are in the habitable zone. It is possible that some of the Earth-like planets have lives. However, there are other "hellish" worlds – on such exoplanets the temperature can reach the highest possible level. Recently, researchers discovered […]
