The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest and most distant supernova ever seen – a stellar explosion that occurred when the universe was only 1.8 billion years old. The ancient starburst was discovered among 80 others in a part of the sky that, from our perspective on Earth, is about the width of … Read more
Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory through the launch, the Webb Medium Infrared Instrument also detected jets of gas streaming into space from the twin stars. Scientists recently got a big surprise from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope when they turned the observatory toward a cluster of young stars called WL 20. The region has … Read more
Astronomers observed a giant asteroid impact in Beta Pictoris, using data from the Webb and Spitzer telescopes. The event, which occurred 20 years ago, provides new insights into early planetary formation in this young star system. (Artist’s concept.)

Summary: Researchers discovered that a specific area of the brain, the mediodorsal thalamus, can provoke feelings of paranoia. Comparing data from monkey and human studies, they found that lesions in this brain region led to disordered behavior and increased perceptions of environmental instability. The study provides a new framework for understanding human cognition through cross-species … Read more
NASA has plans to return astronauts to the lunar surface in the near future. Next year, four astronauts will orbit the moon. “We don’t need to go back to the moon just for the moon. We’re going back to learn new things. So we can go to Mars and beyond,” said Administrator Bill Nelson. The … Read more
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have used aerial photographs from 1937 to analyze the stability and growth of the East Antarctic ice sheet, finding that despite some signs of weakening, the ice has remained largely stable for almost a century, boosting predictions of further ice growth. sea level.

LOS ANGELOS – Earth’s inner core, a solid sphere of iron located deep within our planet, has slowed its rotation, according to new research. Scientists from the University of Southern California say their discovery challenges previous notions about the behavior of the inner core and raises intriguing questions about its influence on Earth’s dynamics. The … Read more
When it comes to space exploration, Jeff Bezos dreams big. “I’d like to see a trillion people living in the solar system. If we had a trillion people, we’d have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins,” he told podcaster Lex Fridman in a 2023 interview . To realize this dream, Bezos envisions … Read more
Will Invest 90L’s cloud-generating rainy impacts prevent SpaceX from launching a Falcon 9 rocket for a second day in a row? Stay tuned. Welcome to the FLORIDA TODAY Space Team’s live coverage of this evening’s Starlink 10-2 mission from Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. SpaceX has already pushed back the … Read more
Summary: Facial expressions influence the memory color effect, with angry and fearful faces more strongly affected than neutral faces. Participants perceived achromatic angry and fearful faces as red-yellow, indicating that expression affects color memory. This research highlights how emotion and color memory are interconnected. Future studies aim to explore attention to different facial expressions and … Read more
