Researchers reveal binary star system in the ant-shaped Ant Nebula using lasers from the old nebula
An ant-shaped Nebula known as Ant Nebula or Menzel 3 was discovered back in the 1920s by theoretical astronomer and astrophysicist Donald Menzel. It is located in the constellation Norma about 8,000 light-years away from Earth. It has intrigued many scientists due to its distinct shape because of which, a team of researchers started collecting […]
A study reveals that there could be a ninth planet in our solar system
Pluto was relegated to the status of a dwarf planet in 2006 after more than 70 years of being summoned as the ninth planet of the solar system, researchers were searching whether there is a ninth planet in our solar system or not. There is some evidence that has been found hinting towards the existence […]
Arch Mission to launch a Lunar Library in 2020 with 30 million pages of data
To preserve the knowledge and cultural heritage for millions and billions of years to come, Arch Mission Foundation is planning to launch archival records etched on thin nickel foils that will be transported to the moon on the next lunar mission scheduled to launch in 2020. Arch Mission Foundation, a nonprofit organization in association with […]
Are Octopus aliens? New theory suggests eight-leg creature has intergalactic genes
Scientists have been trying to figure out if alien life exists or not. But what if it exists and we are actually familiar with it. We all know Octopuses, these are vividly colored with eight to ten limbs and a central hand with huge eyes animals. Octopuses have a strange ability to edit their own […]
Earliest evidences of oxygen found in a galaxy 13.28 billion light-years away from Earth
A distant galaxy, located at around 13 billion light-years away from the Earth and gravitationally lensed, allowed the scientists to detect the earliest evidence of oxygen and the formation of stars and galaxies when the universe was still 2 to 3% of its present age. According to the calculations, the earliest stars were formed some […]
A large number of fishes die of suffocation due to feces from hippopotamus
Scientists observed a great influx of dead fishes at the Mara River which flows between Kenya and Tanzania in the African continent. This triggered the researchers to find out the reason behind such phenomenon where they found out that hippos living in 62 mile stretch of Mara River were to be blamed. Actually, their feces […]
The pressure inside a proton is greater than a neutron star: a study suggests
A neutron star is the densest object known in the universe bearing an extremely high pressure inside its core, however, it is baffling that a proton which is a component of an atom which is indeed extremely small bears more internal pressure that even the neutron star. According to the researchers at the Jefferson Lab […]
Researchers use X-ray lasers to heat liquid to 100,000 degrees Celsius in just 75 femtoseconds
It takes a good 3 to 4 minutes for the water to boil when you want to make tea or coffee or just want to drink hot water. However, there is a faster way to heat up the water in a fraction of second. In fact, researchers have demonstrated the world’s fastest water heater that […]
Scientists furious as someone is producing banned chemicals that deplete Ozone layer
Montreal Protocol, an international agreement was signed in 1987 thereby ending the production of all ozone-destroying chemicals like CFC, Freon, etc. It has been more than 30 years that the accord is being monitored and complied by all the participating countries in order to combat climate change.
