A geomagnetic field is generated in Earth's interior and extends into outer space to protect Earth from cosmic radiation and the charged particles of solar wind. The magnetic field is generated by the convection of charged molten iron fluids in Earth's outer core.
It may not be a huge issue, but you never like the idea of finding a massive black hole. That’s especially the case when it’s facing Earth. But that’s what scientists say they have found. As relayed by the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists say galaxy PBC J2333.9-2343 has been reclassified after they discovered a supermassive […]
Re-analysis of crater sizes suggests kilometer-sized objects may hit more often than we have thought, potentially raising the priority of space defense systems.
Scientists revealed Tuesday that galaxy PBC J2333.9-2343 has been
Big asteroids may strike Earth more frequently than scientists believed,
But some good old fashioned fieldwork will be needed to prove it. Earth might be struck by large asteroids more frequently than scientists had once believed, according to the results of a new study based on satellite imagery of ancient impact sites.Life on Earth has been forced to endure a series of cataclysmic extinction-level disasters throughout the course of its 3.8 billion-year
TORONTO (CTV Network) -- In a study published in the peer-reviewed Science Advances journal, researchers from Rutgers University say a peptide containing nickel atoms may have sparked life on Earth. A peptide is a molecule made up of short chains of amino acids, which are the molecules that form proteins. This particular peptide has two
South Korea needs to join the “inner club of global space powerhouses” by developing unmatched space technology and becoming an attractive partner within the club, according to the first vice minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT. “There are areas where we need to stand on our own in terms of technology. But we can’t do everything by ourselves. For instance, we can’t do space exploration alone,” said First Vice Minister Oh Tae-seog in a recent interview
A supermassive blackhole has changed its direction and is now facing Earth, scientists at the Royal Astronomical Society discovered, after they reclassified a galaxy that is 657 million light-years away from the blue planet. According to scientists, this galaxy— called PBC J2333.9-2343— has a blazar (active galactic nucleus) in its core with a relativistic jet (which is also known as a super-massive black hole). Blazars are very high energy objects and are considered to be one of the most...
A team of international astronomers have reclassified a galaxy after finding that a supermassive black hole in its centre has changed direction and is now aiming towards the Earth.
The Liberal government left employment insurance reform out of the federal budget this week over concern that reforming the program amid a slowing economy could drive up premiums for workers and employers. That's according to a spokesperson for Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough, who said the
London– A giant “hole”, that is 20 times larger than the Earth, has appeared on the surface of the Sun, and could hurl a solar storm to Earth by Friday, […]
