NASA is offering up to $500,000 for new technology to measure Earth’s extremely thin upper atmosphere and improve predictions of how space weather changes satellite orbits

[ad_1] Representative Image (AI-generated) Earth’s atmosphere does not simply end where airplanes stop flying. Far above the planet, in a region known as the thermosphere, an extremely thin layer of gas continues to interact with satellites orbiting Earth. Changes in this region may seem insignificant, but they can alter atmospheric drag and gradually affect the…

Oldest evidence of life on Earth has been discovered in India: A 3.4 billion-year-old layered rock shows signs of microbial life

[ad_1] Evidence of the oldest life on Earth has been discovered in India. In recent scientific findings in eastern India, biological traces buried for almost 3.5 billion years were revealed. The revelation suggests a much more distant and organic origin for the planet.The samples were taken from the Singhbhum geological block, which preserves cellular remains…
