In July 2006, a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) was identified from a distance of 1.6 Billion Lightyears. It lasted 102 seconds, and although it was a common occurrence, the GRB had a special feature. If there is to be a GRB that lasts that long, it must be the result of a supernova. But no…
But a deeper exposure and a much more careful processing will reveal that these galaxies, far from being visualized against a nearly dark, empty background, they are surrounded by huge clouds of dust…The truth is that the galaxies are not surrounded by this dust – the dust is much closer to us than the galaxies…
Chandrayaan 2 Orbiter has been sending high resolution images of the Moon and other scientific data to Earth for two years. ISRO is conducting an online Lunar Science Workshop on Septemper 6-7. In addition, data and images collected by Chandrayaan 2 orbiter will be made available in the public domain. Chandrayaan 2 was mentioned in…
Let’s get to the title of this post … As mentioned above, the McMurdo Dry Valley is one of the only ice-free valleys in Antarctica where only one percent can be seen.Humidity in these arid valleys is very low, and the surrounding mountains prevent the flow of ice from nearby glaciers. These areas are covered…
Can we believe that man used a device like an analog computer two thousand years ago …? But that is the reality. One such device that still amazes researchers today is the Antiquator mechanism, which is housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. In ancient times, ships sailing from Asia Minor to Italy…
How did water come to earth? Certainly not after the earth came into being. Water is older than earth. The water we use contains the hydrogen produced by the Big Bang. And the explosion of oxygen stars in it. So there is more water available in space than we think. It only tells the most…
The bones were recovered from a Neanderthal hunting camp in Navalmaillo Rockshelter, central Spain. These bones were analyzed by researcher Abel Moclan / his colleagues. Statistical analysis of the fossil record suggests that Neanderthals cooked large herds of cattle and deer in rock shelters. But they took their prey to another place and ate it….
The ground rose up to form large bubbles. They have been called the “trembling tundra” because they jiggle when stepped upon. It turns out that these bubbles have formed because methane gasses are rising into the empty spaces created by melting permafrost. Like a ticking time bomb, the pressure is building up inside these bubbles…
