Australian nanosatellite snaps 1st selfie in space before tracking cosmic gamma-ray bursts (photo)
Australia’s SpIRIT nanosatellite has snapped its first “selfie” from space, marking a successful start to its mission. SpIRIT — formally known as the Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal nanosatellite — is the first space telescope funded by the Australian Space Agency to carry a foreign space agency’s scientific instrument as its main payload. Launched in December 2023 aboard a SpaceX …

Earth’s history is divided up into different geological wedges of time, wedges we like to call things like epochs, periods, and eons. They’re defined by events that shaped the planet (think big extinctions and biodiversity booms), and it’s generally been accepted that the boundaries between them are randomly distributed. The rest of this article is behind a paywall. Please sign …

A team using MeerKAT in South Africa spotted a new repeating source of short, sharp radio pulses and, within days, tracked it through an intense outburst that produced hundreds of events across multiple frequency bands. These bursts belong to a class known as fast radio burst (FRB) events, which last only milliseconds and come from far beyond our galaxy, with …

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery that unveils one of the universe’s greatest mysteries: the elusive ordinary matter that lies between galaxies. For decades, scientists have struggled to detect the full extent of normal matter, which makes up stars, planets, and everything we know. This matter is vastly different from dark matter, which is invisible and detectable only through its …

Scientists are beginning to understand that ageing is not a simply linear process. Instead, recent research appears to show that we age in three accelerated bursts; at about 40, 60 and 80 years old. To find out what might be going on, Ian Sample hears from Prof Michael Snyder, the director of the Center for Genomics and Personalised Medicine at …

Scientists have discovered a previously-undetected flood under the Greenland ice sheet that spilled out with such force that it burst through nearly 300 feet (91 meters) of solid ice. The phenomenon occurred in 2014 and caused 24 billion gallons (90 billion liters) of meltwater to punch out from a subglacial lake under the ice sheet. It is the first time …

Astronomers have re-examined the biggest explosion ever seen, possibly the most massive explosion since the Big Bang, to learn more about mysterious blasts of high-energy called gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Aptly named the “Brightest Of All Time,” or the “BOAT,” and officially designated GRB 221009A, this is the most powerful GRB ever detected. And that’s no mean feat, considering that a …

Pregnancy can bring a lot of attention to expecting parents from their inner and even outer circles. While these people are probably well-meaning, constantly being in the spotlight during such a personal time can get overwhelming. So, in order to maintain some peace and normalcy, parents may decide to establish some boundaries. As did this couple. Well, at least they …
