Scientists in China have discovered a 300,000-year-old skull which has never been seen before. The skull is unlike any other skull the scientists had discovered in the past as the jaws and mandible, HLD 6, are quite different from humans. The new discovery could potentially lead to the discovery of a new branch in the human evolutionary tree.
Scientists were able to revive a 46-year-old microscopic worm which they found deep inside Siberian permafrost. The worm was in a state of cryptobiosis, a dormancy period where a living creature stops all the metabolic processes for an indefinite time.
Astronomers have detected the largest space explosion at a distance of around 8 billion lightyears away. The intensity of the blast surpasses that of any documented space explosion, shining over 10 times brighter. Scientists said that the explosion was unlike typical supernovae, which remain visible for merely a few months.
For the very first time, scientists have become able to capture a spectacular image of a dying star that is in the process of eating a planet. Astronomers observed a giant planet, the size of a Jupiter, being swallowed by its star.
NASA’s helicopter drone has completed its 50th flight around Mars, the agency revealed. The agency recently revealed that their ingenuity helicopter made history by completing 50 flights over the Red Planet. NASA’s ingenuity drone officially completed the milestone after it was launched on April 4, 2021.
SpaceX will attempt to launch the most powerful rocket system ever developed in the entire history. SpaceX’s Starship has almost double the thrust of a conventional rocket. The two-stage rocket ship will send the upper part of the vehicle eastward in order to complete one trip around the earth.
Humans have multiple personality traits, two of them are commonly known as introversion and extroversion’. And just like us, tigers have two personality traits, new research suggested. The two traits are somewhat similar to that of human’s personality traits we just mentioned.
The Sun has been bearing events that have consequences for humans living on earth, like solar storms. Also known as magnetic storms, solar storms are an abrupt emission of a huge amount of electromagnetic radiation on the sun’s surface. NASA is now turning to Artificial intelligence to counter the effects of solar storms and other events that affect earth.
Astronomers have discovered the largest black hole which can fit 30 billion suns at a time. The ultramassive 2.7 billion light-years away blackhole is located at the center of the galaxy, is and is the biggest ever black hole to have been discovered so far.
Chinese scientists have discovered a water reservoir on the moon trapped inside tiny beads. The scientists are expecting billions of tones of water inside cooled rocks on the surface of the moon. The discovery was made possible due to China’s Chang’e-5 mission, the only Chinese mission to bring back samples to earth.
The origin of life on earth has always been one of the most interesting subjects of discovery for scientists. The strongest of theories that suggest how life on earth originated credits our solar system for the inception of living beings. A team of scientists have found a key ingredient of life taken from the asteroid Ryugu in 2018, suggesting that life on earth could have come from space.
Space scientists have been constantly urged to reduce the air pollution as it hinders their space imagery. In a new study published in Nature journal, the astronomers called upon the satellite firms to reduce satellite launches as it makes it difficult for them to capture the space light.
