ex-NASA physicist tells DailyMail.com space junk could strip Earth's atmosphere. Starlink space junk could become an 'unplanned geoengineering experiment'. READ MORE:
The planet's magnetic field was already at half-strength 3.7 billion years ago.
An international team of researchers, led by Professor Jin Wu from the School of Biological Sciences at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has made a promising advancement in mapping plant functional traits from space using time-series satellite data. The study, published in Remote Sensing of Environment, showcases the innovative combination of the Sentinel-2 satellite mission and its dynamic time-series capabilities.
By Amy Gunia, CNN (CNN) — India is one of the world’s top spacefaring nations. It is the first Asian country to reach Mars orbit, and the fourth on the planet to take a spacecraft to the moon, landing closer to the south pole, known for its cratered terrain, than anyone else has. But its
On this edition of Down to Earth, we’re checking in with Space Delta 8 - Satellite Communications, to meet U.S. Space Force 1st Lt. Alexander Knoedler, 4th Space Operations Squadron satellite engineer.
Do magnets damage your credit cards, potentially causing payment issues? Here's what to know about about magnetic risks and how new EMV chip technology protects against demagnetization.
A man is dead after a stabbing outside Audi Field Saturday night. D.C. police said officers responded at about 6:30 p.m. to the 100 block of T Street SW.
We are all very familiar with the concept of the Earth's magnetic field. It turns out that most objects in space have magnetic fields but it's quite tricky to measure them. Astronomers have developed an ingenious way to measure the magnetic field of the Milky Way using polarized light from interstellar dust grains that align themselves to the magnetic field lines. A new survey has begun this mapping process and has mapped an area that covers the equivalent of 15 times the full moon.
Thanks to new sophisticated techniques and state-of-the-art facilities, astronomy has entered a new era in which the depth of the sky can finally be accessed. The ingredients of our cosmic home, the Milky Way galaxy—stars, gas, magnetic fields—can at long last be mapped in 3D.
Voyager photographs the homeworld from two distinct angles. For the first time in history, a single frame captured the entirety of the Earth and Moon in 1977 at a distance of 7.3 million miles (11.7 million kilometers). Earth appears as a small blue dot in a ray of sunshine in the second photo, which was shot in 1990 as part of a family portrait of our solar system from 4 billion miles (6.4 billion kilometers). This is the well-known Pale Blue Dot picture that Carl Sagan immortalized. (Image...
A GoFundMe has been started to assist the families of the US Marshals and CMPD Officers who were shot and killed or injured in Monday's shooting in East Charlotte.
The 'out of sight, out of mind' effects of lithium extraction, oil and natural gas drilling, and other subsurface activities are taking place about 500 meters beneath our feet.
