When mysterious glowing stripes of green lit up Finnish skies in 2018, it didn’t go unnoticed by avid aurora chasers. The pattern of light was unfamiliar and strangely perfect, reaching out toward the horizon like a set of celestial sand dunes.
An undead vampire star feeds on its victim, the two tug hard on this lifeblood swirling in space — then boom, and repeat.
The melting of Thwaites Glacier already accounts for 4% of global sea-level rise.
In 1966, two Caltech scientists were ruminating on the implications of the thin carbon dioxide (CO2) Martian atmosphere first revealed by Mariner IV, a NASA fly-by spacecraft built and flown by JPL. They theorized that Mars, with such an atmosphere, could have a long-term stable polar deposit of CO2 ice that, in turn, would control global atmospheric pressure.
Scientists think that quantum physics and human psychology belong hand in hand to explain human behavior.
This image is the first high-resolution shot from the 4-meter Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawai’i.
Scientists from Washington University, St. Louis, Caltech and the University of Chicago have found presolar grains — tiny bits of solid interstellar material formed before the Sun was born — in Curious Marie, a sample of the famous Allende meteorite.
For more than 16 years, the orbiting observatory has revealed wonders of the cosmos
A pair of researchers presented a wild new theory in a new paper.
