scientists have discovered the first definitive proof that the Moon inherited indigenous noble gases of helium and neon from the Earth‘s coat. The discovery, published in the journal Science Advances, adds to the already strong constraints on the currently favored “Giant Impact” theory that hypothesizes the Moon was formed by a massive collision between Earth … Read more
Earth is the only planet we know of with continents, the giant landmasses that provide homes to humankind and most of Earth’s biomass. However, we still don’t have firm answers to some basic questions about continents: how did they come to be, and why did they form where they did? One theory is that they … Read more
This Neptune-sized planet around a bright A-type star, would be rapidly stripped of its gas. Scientists revealed the reasons. Astronomers are constantly on the lookout for exoplanets. So far, they have found thousands of them but, more than 99 percent of them orbit smaller stars. Only a few of these have been discovered to be … Read more
A sudden solar storm struck the Earth’s magnetic field late on August 7 night. Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement, or STEVE for short, is a puzzling aurora-like phenomenon that appeared as a result of the storm’s collision with our planet’s outer shield. STEVE first appeared in the sky in 2017 and has been appearing often … Read more

On August 7 and 8, an unexpected solar storm event on Earth displayed a mysterious and rare sky phenomenon called STEVE or Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement. What is it and how can it affect us? Find out. We have always associated solar storms with aurora displays, damage to man-made satellites, radio blackouts and GPS … Read more
According to NASA, asteroid 2022 PA1 is approaching dangerously close to the Earth today, August 10. Know the risks. The Earth is going through a scary phase of asteroid bombardment. Almost every single day an asteroid is zooming towards our planet and narrowly misses it. But scientists fear that our luck cannot last forever and … Read more
