An earth-shattering optical illusion was just spotted in space

  Backlink: CREATIVE BLOG We’ve seen all manner of optical illusions over the past few years, involving everything from three-headed deer to rotating horses (via countless objects that appear to be moving but definitely aren’t moving). Just when it feels like we’ve seen them all, another first pops up. Like this one. It’s in space! […]

Scientists Are About to Fire Up The Most Powerful Laser in The US

  Backlink: SCIENCE ALERT The most powerful laser in the US right now is getting turned on to send its first pulses this week – enabling researchers to get a new level of insight into plasma physics and particle accelerators. Known as the Zetawatt-Equivalent Ultrashort pulse laser System (ZEUS), it produces an ultra-short, extremely powerful […]

Scientists Spot the Birth of a Planet in Deep Space

Backlink: CURIOSMOS Scientists have developed a new method to detect elusive newborn planets in faraway solar systems. Protoplanetary disks, which surround young, newborn stars, are said to be where planets are born. Observations of planetary birth and formation within these environments have proven challenging, despite hundreds of these disks being observed throughout the universe. […]

This 7,000-Year-Old Settlement in Egypt Predates the Pharaohs and the Pyramids

  Backlink: CURIOSMOS When we talk about Egypt, what first comes to mind are the imposing pyramids, the Great Sphinx, and the Giza plateau’s temples. The settlement dates back to around 5,000 BCE, which means it directly predates the emergence of the famous Giza pyramids by at least 2,500 years.       […]

James Webb Space Telescope captures Orion Nebula with ‘breathtaking’ details

  Backlink: INTERESTTING ENGINEERING The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured the most detailed and painstakingly sharp images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, known as the “picture book of star formation.” The stellar nursery is situated in the constellation Orion, 1,350 light-years away from Earth. […]

“The Sun Is Actually White”: Ex NASA Astronaut Confirms Space Fact

  Backlink: NDTV The real colour of the Sun is actually white and the reason the dwarf star generally looks yellow is because of a strange play of physics of light which makes the sun appear yellow most of the time. The sunlight is essentially all colours mixed together, which appear to our eyes as […]

Energy Transition a ‘Dangerous Delusion’: Report

    Backlink: THE EPOCH TIMES An Aug. 30 report argues that the idea of totally transitioning from fossil fuels is a “dangerous delusion.” “The lessons of the recent decade make it clear that [solar, wind, and battery] SWB technologies cannot be surged in times of need, are neither inherently ‘clean’ nor even independent of hydrocarbons, and are […]

NASA Turns James Webb’s First Full-Color Images Into Sound

  Backlink: CURIOSMOS NASA has turned the first full-color images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope into sound. The sounds of the Cosmic Cliffs in the Carina Nebula, two photos showing the Southern Ring Nebula, and an analysis of the transmission spectrum of WASP-96 b reflect the differing tones of the images. As the […]
