NASA is set to launch four astronauts on Artemis II, a 10-day crewed mission around the moon marking humanity's farthest spaceflight in 54 years and a critical step toward lunar surface landing before China.
Research demonstrates that ant teams solve complex puzzles more efficiently than gravity-based computational algorithms, revealing insights into collective intelligence and optimization strategies.
GLP-1 medications are driving obesity decline but doctors warn of dangerous misuse among non-obese individuals. Research highlights both therapeutic benefits and risks of off-label use.
Rumor que circulava nas redes sociais afirmava que a Terra perderia gravidade por 7 segundos em 12 de agosto de 2026, causando caos global. A Nasa classificou a teoria como "besteira absoluta" e especialistas explicaram a impossibilidade física do fenômeno.
NASA confirma eclipse lunar parcial de magnitude 0,930 visível em todo o Brasil na madrugada de 28 de agosto, cobrindo 93% da Lua e sendo o último grande eclipse lunar visível do país até 2029.
A new study suggests that one intense weekly workout can burn nearly as much fat as exercising three times per week, challenging conventional fitness frequency wisdom.
NASA observations reveal significant summer melting at Barnes Ice Cap, highlighting accelerating ice loss patterns consistent with climate change impacts on Arctic glaciers.
August 2026 brings a rare total solar eclipse on August 12, visible across Spain, Portugal, Iceland, and Greenland, followed by the Perseid meteor shower and a partial lunar eclipse later in the month.
Astronomers have identified a rare three-lobed asteroid, possibly Nysa, that appears to have its own small moon orbiting it. The discovery represents an unusual celestial configuration rarely observed in the asteroid belt.
Um estágio de foguete Falcon 9 abandonado pela SpaceX colidirá com a Lua nesta quarta-feira, criando uma nova cratera lunar após mais de um ano à deriva no espaço.
NASA leadership disputes a billion-dollar cost estimate for repurposing an existing Moon rover, signaling budget concerns over the lunar exploration program's financial trajectory.
Brasil e outras regiões presenciarão eclipse lunar parcial em agosto, com NASA emitindo alertas sobre possíveis impactos. Eventos astronômicos incluem eclipses solares e chuva de meteoros.
Pedro Duque advierte sobre los efectos del eclipse solar del 12 de agosto, incluyendo descenso de temperatura y comportamientos inusuales en animales. La NASA realizará experimentos científicos desde aviones y globos en España e Islandia.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence that Neptune's inner moons may be remnants of ice worlds destroyed in a catastrophic ancient collision, reshaping understanding of the moon system's formation.
New research reveals Mars' ancient water was lost through two mechanisms: atmospheric stripping into space and retention in deep crustal deposits, solving a decades-old planetary science question.
Israeli researchers found that sildenafil, Viagra's active ingredient, may block cancer cell spread by targeting a previously unknown pathway. The discovery offers potential new therapeutic approaches to preventing metastasis.
The iconic 1968 Earthrise photograph fundamentally shifted human perception of our planet, inspiring a documented psychological phenomenon among astronauts who witness Earth from space.
A comprehensive scientific review of 350+ studies suggests reducing protein intake could improve metabolism, lower inflammation, and potentially extend lifespan, though benefits vary based on physical activity levels.
Police are investigating after a decomposed body believed to be a foreign national was found entangled in fishing equipment off Canggu Beach in Bali. The cause of death remains undetermined pending autopsy results.
A 80-million-year-old Brazilian fossil reveals early snakes rapidly adapted to diverse habitats—burrowing, terrestrial, and marine—challenging the long-held theory of a single evolutionary pathway.
Researchers demonstrate quantum dots emitting 40 million transform-limited single photons per second in telecom O-band (1300 nm), solving decades-old coherence challenges for quantum communications and computing applications.
Solar wind creates giant Kelvin-Helmholtz waves that strip Mars' atmosphere into space, according to data from MAVEN and Tianwen-1 spacecraft. This process may explain how Mars lost its once-habitable atmosphere.
MIT researchers combined physics and biology equations to show that expansion speed and spatial position matter as much as fitness in determining which populations succeed, challenging conventional evolutionary assumptions.
The Moon enters its Waning Gibbous phase on August 3, 2026, with 79% of its surface visible. The next Full Moon will occur on August 28.
MIT researchers combined physics and biology equations to model how competing populations expand, finding that fitness alone doesn't determine success—expansion speed and spatial position matter equally.
