A King penguin colony (AP photo) A new study has found that king penguins are breeding earlier as global temperatures rise, and the shift is helping improve their breeding success.Researchers studying about 19,000 king penguins on a sub-Antarctic island chain found that the birds are now starting their breeding cycle 19 days earlier than they…
For the first time, scientists have filmed high-speed video of a phenomenon where trees emit an electrical glow by generating sparks during thunderstorms. The results of a study published in Geophysical Research Letters show that the trees’ branches can emit faint blue light known as corona discharge, thanks to sensors and cameras deployed in the…
According to NASA, Lake Untersee is an underground body of water resting in the snow-capped peaks of East Antarctica. Hidden like a time capsule, it provides scientists with a necessary resource with which to look back and study how life came to be formed. It has a very unique chemistry (i.e. pH = 10.4), and…
Astronomers have spotted something unusual in a comet passing through our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever seen, appears to be stuffed with methanol, an alcohol you might find in a lab, not your drink. Using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers reportedly measured methanol at levels far…
When, during the International Space Station (ISS) mission, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore stretched from eight days to over nine months, a critical question emerged at that time: why did NASA lack a dedicated emergency rescue plan? According to reports, the Daily Mail quoted that the agency faced a backfire when Boeing’s Starliner suffered…
Humans are very eager to study the moon’s secrets, and so scientists from all around the world are trying their best to reach a site that can give them a perfect study to read unknown facts about the moon. The US and China moon race is on as their scientists are finding ways to reach…
When we want to weigh something, the process is simple. We place it on a weighing machine or on a traditional balance. The number appears and we instantly know how heavy the object is. But imagine a far stranger question. What if the thing you want to weigh is the very ground beneath the scale?…
