Uma tempestade solar mais intensa que o esperado atingiu a Terra, com possibilidade de auroras boreais nos EUA e impactos em sistemas de comunicação nos próximos dias.
NASA's Curiosity rover identified the most diverse set of organic molecules yet found on Mars, including seven never before detected, from a 2020 sample. The high carbon content and its origins remain unexplained.
A new study challenges the widespread belief that omega-3 fish oil supplements protect against Alzheimer's and cognitive decline, finding no significant brain health benefits despite millions taking the supplements.
Scientists discovered tropical butterflies living nearly a year with minimal aging signs, challenging typical butterfly lifespans of weeks and offering potential insights into longevity mechanisms.
Research suggests common food preservatives may increase blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk, raising concerns about processed food safety.
Researchers studying super-cooled squirrels' hibernation mechanisms are exploring applications for emergency medical care, potentially enabling suspended animation techniques to preserve trauma patients.
China's Tianwen-2 spacecraft has arrived at Kamoʻoalewa, a tiny quasi-moon orbiting Earth that may be lunar material ejected by ancient impact, to collect samples for return.
Europe experiences record-breaking heat wave with estimates of 3,700 to 20,000 excess deaths. EU shifts focus toward climate adaptation strategies as extreme temperatures become the new normal.
August 12, 2026 offers a rare astrotourism opportunity combining a total solar eclipse visible from Europe and parts of North America with the peak Perseid meteor shower that night.
Um eclipse solar total em 2027 oferecerá mais de seis minutos de escuridão total em Luxor, Egito, o evento astronômico mais longo do século que não se repetirá por 157 anos.
NASA is seeking volunteers to participate in a yearlong simulated mission to Mars, living in isolation to study human factors for future deep space exploration.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe reached 430,000 mph in December 2024, not through powerful engines but via seven Venus gravity assists over seven years that reshaped its solar orbit, demonstrating how celestial mechanics can outperform raw thrust.
The Moon enters its Waning Gibbous phase on July 4, 2026, with 84% illumination visible. The next Full Moon will occur on July 29.
SpaceX's Fram2 mission in April 2025 achieved the first crewed polar orbit, with four private astronauts circling Earth directly over both poles—a route no government program had attempted in over 60 years of human spaceflight.
The Large Hadron Collider enters a four-year, $1.5 billion upgrade as physicists debate whether building an even larger successor machine is scientifically justified after the Higgs discovery.
NASA's Swift Observatory is being rescued by a specialized spacecraft after solar storms accelerated its orbital decay. The $30M mission aims to boost the telescope's altitude by 240km within a month to prevent its destruction.
Melbourne now hosts Smithsonian Starstruck, a free-roam immersive experience translating decades of astronomical research into an interactive journey through space using NASA and Smithsonian data.
Adelaide University study finds intermittent fasting produces similar weight loss to calorie restriction but feels less psychologically restrictive, potentially aiding long-term adherence.
Recent scientific research suggests intermittent fasting may effectively support long-term weight loss maintenance, though effectiveness varies by individual and meal timing approaches.
A specialized spacecraft launched Friday to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory, which is rapidly descending toward Earth due to increased solar activity. The $30 million mission aims to boost the telescope's orbit by 150 miles to extend its operational life.
Research increasingly links premature gray hair in young adults to nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12, rather than genetics alone. Dermatologists report rising cases and point to diet as a significant controllable factor.
