The strangest object NASA has ever visited
Deep in the asteroid belt lies Psyche, an object unlike anything humans have ever explored. Instead of rock or ice, this world appears to be made largely of metal—possibly the exposed core of a failed planet from the early solar system. NASA’s Psyche mission aims to uncover how such an object formed and what it reveals about the building blocks of planets like Earth. Visiting Psyche isn’t just a mission to an asteroid—it’s a journey into the hidden interior of worlds themselves.
SpaceX’s mighty Starship rocket enters final testing for 12th flight
SpaceX is edging toward the 12th launch of its Starship rocket, which this time will see a new version of the massive vehicle head skyward. The launch team has just completed a crucial test of the Starship’s first stage — the Super Heavy — at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. It shared a […] The post SpaceX’s mighty Starship rocket enters final testing for 12th flight appeared first on Digital Trends. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to...

Scientists make surprising discovery after sending robots to study massive glacier due to hazards
"We lack field measurements to verify their accuracy." Scientists make surprising discovery after sending robots to study massive glacier: 'Due to hazards' first appeared on The Cool Down.
Humans are attempting first contact - with sperm whales
What if humans could communicate with another species? This project uses AI and machine learning to analyze the complex clicking sounds of sperm whales. Scientists believe these codas may carry structure similar to language. By collecting massive datasets and pairing them with behavior, researchers hope to decode patterns — and one day respond. It’s an attempt at true interspecies communication.

Scientists uncover 2 age spikes when humans rapidly get older
Aging may not be the slow, steady decline most people assume. Research from Stanford Medicine suggests the human body experiences sharp molecular upheaval at two specific points in life, around the mid-40s and again near 60, challenging the conventional wisdom that biological wear accumulates at a constant rate. The finding has implications for how we […]

NASA boss says Boeing Starliner failure one of worst in its history
The agency released a critical report that puts the Starliner incident at same mistake level assigned to the fatal Columbia and Challenger shuttle disasters.
This shark was bright pink - and scientists couldn’t explain it
Sharks are already some of the ocean’s strangest predators - but sometimes genetics makes them even stranger. From a bright orange nurse shark and pink manta rays to albino anomalies, cyclops embryos, and two-headed specimens, these are real documented mutations backed by science. We break down what causes these rare conditions and why some researchers suspect they may be increasing in certain regions. As ocean temperatures rise and ecosystems change, the question becomes harder to ignore - are shark mutations becoming more common, and if so, why?

Animation shows how a 10 meter asteroid passes Earth closer than the moon in orbit
Asteroid 2023 JF flew about 199,000 miles (320,000 km) away from Earth. It's estimated size is about 34 feet wide (10 meters), roughly the size of a bus.

City-size cold-volcano comet erupts into a glowing cosmic 'snail shell'
Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, a city-sized icy body that orbits the Sun at roughly 6 astronomical units, is known for sudden outbursts that can produce a glowing coma with a spiral, snail-shell-like appearance in telescope images. Long classified as a Centaur bridging the gap between asteroids and comets, it is among the most persistently active objects […]
Saltwater intrusion threatens drinking water worldwide
From Louisiana to The Gambia, a quiet shift is reshaping coastlines and livelihoods. Freshwater once drawn from taps and rivers is turning brackish, threatening drinking supplies and food production.
NASA is developing a nuclear rocket to send humans to Mars
NASA is preparing a technology that could redefine humanity’s future in space: a nuclear-powered rocket. According to the Artemis roadmap, nuclear propulsion will dramatically increase speed and efficiency for missions beyond the Moon. This could slash travel time to Mars, reducing radiation exposure and the physical toll on astronauts. Chemical rockets simply aren’t enough for deep-space survival. Nuclear propulsion may be the key that finally unlocks the Red Planet.
The science behind animals that outlive centuries
Some animals seem to have cracked the code to longevity, living far beyond what we'd expect. What's their secret? It's not just about slow metabolisms or unique habitats-they're the result of extraordinary biological adaptations that have allowed them to thrive for centuries. Let's take a closer look into the fascinating world of these time-defying creatures […] The post The Science Behind Animals That Outlive Centuries appeared first on Housely.
Scientists solve century-old mystery surrounding Blood Falls in Antarctica
The Antarctic mystery was solved following "a serendipitous alignment of observations," the researchers said.
US approves 1,472°F nuclear fission chamber for next-gen reactors
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) reports it has tested a high-temperature fission chamber prototype built by Curtiss-Wright Nuclear that operated steadily at 800 degrees Celsius (about 1,472 degrees Fahrenheit) during a weeklong irradiation test at The Ohio State University Research Reactor. The successful trial addresses one of the hardest engineering problems facing advanced nuclear power: […]
James Webb telescope reveals stunning 3D auroras on Uranus for the first time
Uranus, with its strange magnetic field and mysterious auroras, has long baffled scientists. Now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have mapped the planet’s auroras in 3D for the first time. This new study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, reveals new insights into Uranus’s unique atmosphere and magnetic field, ...
NASA targets March 6 to launch astronauts on a long-awaited mission around the moon
NASA is eyeing March 6 to launch four astronauts on the Artemis II mission around the moon, officials announced after completing a fueling test and launch-day walkthrough.
Bacteria frozen for 5,000 years could fight superbugs, but there's a catch
Bacteria extracted from 5,000-year-old ice in the Scărișoara Ice Cave in Romania could help us fight superbugs, new research shows – if it doesn't become one itself. The research was led by a team from the Institute of Biology Bucharest (IBB) of the Romanian Academy, and points towards the untapped therapeutic potential – and risk – of microbes preserved in cold environments for millennia. As bacteria continuously evolve to outsmart the b
