Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Los Alamos National Laboratory and University of Tokyo have demonstrated that when an earthquake in one part of the world triggers another over 1 000 km away, widespread changes occur below the…
A team of astronomers from Germany have compiled the largest astronomical image of the Milky Way galaxy so far, the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) announced on October 21, 2015. Small region of Milky Way showing the Eta Carinae star. Image credit: Lehrstuhl…
The hottest and most massive system of double stars that play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies has been discovered, European Southern Observatory (ESO) announced on October 21, 2015. This very rare and strange occurrence has been observed by ESO's…
Data obtained by NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), a mission providing the most definitive analyses, theories and results about local interstellar space to date, was presented in fourteen new research papers published on October 20, 2015, in a…
A study of terrestrial zircons at the Vredefort impact structure in South Africa by a research team led by Aaron Cavosie, a professor of geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has questioned the accuracy of the currently used method to date lunar…
Joint US and German research teams have discovered a new form of solar ejection involving high energy blast waves and helium-3 based particle matter. The discovery was aided by NASA spacecraft STEREO A and ACE. A new solar phenomenon has been discovered by two…
Marine scientists have discovered four new deep-water coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Ireland, by using a new mathematical modeling system which predicted their locations, the Plymouth University announced on October 12, 2015. The modeling system that…
A team of scientists led by the heliophysics group at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has used observations of Comet Encke’s tail using NASA’s Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), and revealed that the solar wind flows through the…
A research team led by Dr. Steven Palmer from the University of Exeter has studied the water flow paths from a subglacial lake under the Greenland ice, and discovered that water was drained from the lake through a subglacial tunnel. The study also revealed that a…
A team of scientists from the Providence College, Roger Williams University, the University of South Florida, Stanford University and the University of Oregon have studied sophisticated, multi-jet propulsion system of marine animals known as siphonophores. The…
