Findings reconsider the existence of Europa’s vapor plumes

Looking back at 14 years of Hubble telescope data for Jupiter’s moon Europa has given Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists a better understanding of its tenuous atmosphere. The findings have cast doubt on previous evidence suggesting that the icy moon intermittently discharges faint water plumes from a presumed subsurface ocean.

Is Earth’s constant companion a stray asteroid or a chunk of the moon?

Earth has a group of cosmic stalkers. Known as “co-orbitals,” these small bits of rock have a 1:1 mean motion resonance with Earth. Basically, they take the exact same amount of time to orbit the sun as we do. Astronomers have long believed these objects wandered in from the main asteroid belt between Mars and […]

Hubble reveals rare galaxy 100 million light-years away caught in transition

This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals an enigmatic galaxy with a bright center and a face that hints at spiral structure, yet it holds no obvious spiral arms. Reddish-brown clumps and filaments of dust partially obscure the galaxy’s full face, while red, blue, and orange light from distant galaxies shines through its diffuse outer […]

Bizarre Venus surface formations puzzle planetary scientists

Bizarre Venus surface formations (or coronae) are likely key to understanding our twin planet’s heretofore inscrutable interior. Using NASA Magellan spacecraft data from decades past, Anna Gulcher, an Earth and planetary scientist at Germany’s University of Freiburg, has created innovative new 3D models of the largest coronae to better understand Venus’ puzzling geodynamics.

Ultrafast switching device unlocks low-power optical-to-electrical conversion for AI hardware

Modern energy demands are soaring as technologies like AI and IoT become more common, and researchers have been working hard to develop hardware that can keep up. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo has developed an ultrafast and energy-efficient nonvolatile switching device, described in an article published in the journal Science, […]

Galactic collision may have reset Milky Way disk 11 billion years ago

A new study led by researchers at the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) reveals how the disks of galaxies like the Milky Way are affected by ancient galactic collisions.

Dark lunar craters could host ultrastable lasers for moon navigation

They rank among the darkest and coldest places in the solar system: Hundreds of lunar craters, many of them at the moon’s south pole, never receive direct sunlight and lie in permanent shadow. That’s exactly why physicist Jun Ye and his colleagues suggest that these craters are the perfect place to build a critical component […]

4 Alien Species Recovered From UFO Crashes: 89-Year-Old AAWSAP Veteran Hal Puthoff Confirms It On Camera

Stanford-trained quantum physicist Dr. Hal Puthoff — former CIA Stargate program director and Pentagon AAWSAP advisor — has confirmed on The Diary of a CEO podcast that at least four distinct non-human species have been recovered from crashed UFOs. The species, per fellow insider Eric Davis, are Grays, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians.

Learning physics can derail some students: New research shows the best way to keep them on track

For many undergraduate students, exploring the complexities of physics for the first time, from wading through advanced mathematics, to absorbing information in a large lecture format, can be a daunting endeavor—one that dissuades many students from continuing their studies.

Immaculate Constellation: The Pentagon’s Secret UAP Photo Archive Just Got Confirmed By A Named Whistleblower

A Pentagon whistleblower has publicly confirmed ‘Immaculate Constellation’ — an alleged Unacknowledged Special Access Program that has been quietly archiving every UAP photo, video and radar return the US military has collected since 2017. The Department of Defense’s response is a textbook non-denial.
