IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 NASA’s breakthrough in replicating Mars’ spiders unveils insights into the planet’s geological processes. 🧊 Scientists simulated Martian conditions to study the formation of these unique geological structures. 🌞 The process of sublimation explains how sunlight and ice create the spider-like formations. 🔬 Ongoing research aims to uncover the mysteries of Mars’ past and its potential for …

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large …

On July 15, a colossal filament erupted from the sun’s northeastern limb, dramatically reshaping part of our star’s surface, albeit briefly, and unleashing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. The outburst was so powerful that it carved a glowing trench of hot plasma more than 250,000 miles (about 400,000 kilometers) long, roughly the distance from Earth to the moon. …
