This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a dusty yet sparkling scene from one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy situated about 160,000 light-years away in the constellations Dorado and Mensa.
A hundred years ago, astronomer Edwin Hubble dramatically expanded the size of the known universe. At a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in January 1925, a paper read by one of his colleagues on his behalf reported that the Andromeda nebula, also called M31, was nearly a million light years away—too remote to be a part of the Milky Way.
Researchers have pioneered an innovative method using helioseismology to measure the solar radiative opacity under extreme conditions. Their work, published in Nature Communications, not only reveals gaps in our understanding of atomic physics but also confirms recent experimental results, thereby opening new perspectives in astrophysics and nuclear physics.
About 99% of Earth is uninhabitable; in deep underground places with high pressure and temperature, even the toughest bacteria cannot survive. However, there are places where life thrives, from tiniest toughest bacteria to the largest elephant. Then there are places that are habitable but are devoid of life; lava flows are a great example, as is the space between microbes. A new paper looks at these uninhabited yet habitable areas and considers what we may learn as we search for life in the universe.
A research team has discovered that achiral hard banana-shaped particles can spontaneously form exotic structures like skyrmions and blue phase III phases. Skyrmions are tiny vortex-like structures found in various condensed-matter systems, such as helical ferromagnets and liquid crystals. Blue phase III is an amorphous phase of liquid crystals that possesses strong optical activity. Achiral particles are particles that can be superimposed on their mirror image. The team’s findings have potential applications in photonics and memory devices.

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It’s responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but there are other forces that have shaped our planetary neighborhood.
There might be a type of exoplanet without dry land. They’re called “Hycean” worlds, a portmanteau of “hydrogen” and “ocean.” They’re mostly or entirely covered in oceans and have thick hydrogen atmospheres.
Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program continue stacking the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s twin solid rocket booster motor segments for the agency’s Artemis II mission, inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Chinese astronomers have investigated quasar candidates from the DESI Legacy Surveys (DESI-LS) photometry catalog. As a result, they detected 19 strongly-lensed, dual and projected quasars. The finding was reported in a paper published Jan. 15 on the arXiv pre-print server.
The gemstone spinel, known for its vibrant colors resembling gems such as rubies and sapphires, has now been shown to be capable of storing quantum information, making it a viable material in the field of quantum technology.
We certainly have a lot to discuss regarding this mysterious stone in China called “The Hidden character Stone” This incredible stone was discovered thanks to a crack that formed in a megalith 500 years ago revealing Chinese characters that read: The Chinese Communist Party Collapses (Zhong Guo Gong Chan Dang Wang). The problem is the age of the rock which according to researchers dates back 270 million years (source).
It is an astonishing discovery of a stone that displays curious patterns on its surface, according to researchers these patterns have been identified as Simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese charters that read: Communist Party of China perish or The Chinese Communist Party Collapses ” The stone was discovered in the cleaning process of the Duyun International Photography exposition, and the area has remained isolated and untouched by humans for an incredible period of time. The stone is found in a narrow gap between two cliffs. Scientists have rushed to the area since 2003 when the first scientific inspection group arrived to study the stone. Scientists that gathered at the mysterious site were from several notable institutions such as the Chinese academy of Sciences, Chinese University of Geosciences and Chinese academy of Sciences.
Some of the mysteries that involve this strange stone is that the characters read from left to right, something that was not practiced at that time and scientists consider that since there is an inclusion of a Simplified character before the CPC. Skeptics have attributed the mysterious formation to the nearby village, saying that it was manufactured to boost the tourism of the area. Yet researchers claim that the inscription dates back hundreds of millions of years given the fact that the geological formation of the region is of that age. The vice-editor of the People’s Daily, Liang Heng wrote, While on cliffs people may often discover that white clouds may appear to look like dogs, or something looks like a person or a beast, a picture or a chart, however, all such things are restricted by the appearance of the picture. If today a megalith suddenly can write, speak, carve, develop writing technique, or use political terminology, how are people able to believe that? Do they even dare to believe that? However, facing these two pieces of the split hidden words stone, we have no alternative but to believe. Researchers were able to determine that “the hidden words stone” actually fell from a mountain cliff near the Zhangbu river valley. So how is it possible that a crack reveals an inscription like this, when researchers place the age of the stone at over 250 millions of years? Some believe that this is one of the best pieces of evidence suggesting that ancient Egyptians had knowledge and technology far beyond our own. According to ancient astronaut theorists, this object proves their hypothesis that highly advanced technology was used in the past, and that ancient Egyptians had tools with incredible technology.
Prince Sabu was the son of Pharaoh Adjuib, ruler from the First Dynasty who ruled Egypt around 3000 BC. The item has been called as “puzzling” by archaeologists and even its discoverer, Walter Brian Emer who found the mysterious artifact in 1936, in the Sakkara, in the tomb of Pharaoh Adjuib son, Prince Sabu. The mysterious circular object of 61 centimeters in diameter and 10.6 cm in height at the central part was made with extreme care out of a type of rock called shale, which according to archaeologists requires a very laborious carving process. The object looks like a concave wheel, with three curved blades located on the inside that resemble, however you put it, a ship’s propeller, having a hole in the center that is very similar to pulleys or wheels, assumed to function as a receptor axis.
So far all of those who have taken time to analyze this mysterious object have failed to explain its purpose and curious design, which is even stranger taking in count that the wheel, wasn’t present at that time in history in ancient Egypt. The wheel actually arrived to Egypt after the invasion of the Hyksos at the end of the Middle Kingdom around 1640 BC, so we can say that this mysterious object wasn’t used as a wheel. Plus researchers believe that the object was to fragile to be used as a wheel. The strange artifact is made from a common material in the area and, despite its curious shape, that has baffled archaeologists and researchers for years, its development does not require a technology beyond the reach of ancient Egyptians even though it demonstrates a perfection that goes beyond the skillful hands that probably carved it. The object has earned its mysterious part due to the fact that researchers have not been able to place it anywhere in Egyptian history nor have they found out its true purpose.
The similarities of this object to a modern-day propeller are astonishing, and that is one of the main characteristics that has been causing debate among scholars. So is there a possibility that this was a recreation of similar technology that ancient Egyptians saw? Thus, deciding to recreate it in the best way possible? That is one of the views that ufologists and researchers have. The engineers at Lockheed Missile & Space Company designed a very similar device to the ancient disk found in Egypt during the decade of 1970, usable for energy savings in railway transportation or for storing energy in electric drive vehicles. Futuristic? Sure! The strange part is that the design is incredibly similar to that of the ancient Egyptians. Egyptologist Cyril Aldred noted that regardless of what this ancient disk was, its design corresponded undoubtedly to a reproduction of an earlier metallic object much older and much more advanced. We are still searching for a satisfactory explanation that will tell us more about this object, its peculiar design and purpose. Is it possible that this disk, is in fact, a replica of a device that the ancient Egyptians saw, thousands of years ago? And decided to replicate it so that Prince Sabu could “take it” with him to the afterlife. Image Credit: Jon Bodsworth – The Egypt Archive
The 20 million year old wolfsegg Iron, an artificially made artifact 20 million years ago? People most commonly refer to it as the Woflsegg iron or Salzburg Cube, and it is a small piece of iron that was found within a block of coal in the town of Wolfsegg Austria. Why s it interesting ? Well there are numerous things around this object that have given it a mysterious “aura”. First of all the origin of this strange artifact is a mystery. According to many who have seen and analyzed it, it is an artifact that unarguably proves the existence oh ancient civilizations in prehistoric times whose technological developments exceeded the modern human race. A report that appeared in the scientific journal Nature (Volume 35, 11, November 1886, page 36) describes the object as being “almost a cube”, “with a deep incision”. The object is 67 mm high, 67 mm wide and 47 mm at the thickest part. It weighs 785 g. Some have argues that this artifact is most likely a meteorite but given its specific shape and dimensions it is a theory that has had numerous challenges, the biggest being its peculiar form. Interestingly, the Wolfsegg Iron was examined in 1966 at the Naturhistorisches Museum. The final opinion Doctor Kurat from the Museum and Geological committee at Bundesanstalt in Vienna is that the object is simply an artificial cast iron. The problem is it was found buried inside a 20 million year old coal seam.
Ufologists believe that his object did not originate in space, as it was believed earlier, they suggest that this artifact, is proof that millions of years ago, civilizations existed on earth that had extremely advanced technology, and they point to numerous other artifacts found across the globe, suggesting that a pattern exists among all of them. It remains as one of the most famous anachronistic objects since its discovery in 1885, when a worker was breaking coal from Wolfsegg, discovering a iron-cube-shaped somewhat deformed object. According to accounts, the edges of this strange object were once perfectly straight and defined, our sides were flat, while the remaining two sides, facing each other, were convex an towards the upper part of the artifact, there was a rather deep groove. The shape of the object, which is currently in a municipal museum near the foundry where it was found, does not look anything like a cube: its unique flat surface is the result of cuts made to analyze it chemically.
The test gave interesting results, showing that the metal object does not contain nickel, chromium or cobalt and according to scholars, proving that it cannot be a meteorite as previously believed. It look as if it was actually artificially produced. People who have looked at the object claim it couldn’t have originated in nature, but those are mixed opinions. Certainly this item seems to lack the characteristics of a meteorite according to those who have analyzed it, like Doctor Kurat from the Museum and Geological committee at Bundesanstalt in Vienna. The true origin and purpose of the wolfsegg Iron will serve as a topic of discussion among researchers and ufologists. The object will certainly remain as a very interesting and mysterious artifact, whatever the different views and opinions are. Image source: Sagen.at
