It’s little wonder that astronomers are excited for the launch of NASA’s next big space telescope project, the Nancy Grace Roman Telescope. Recent research has suggested that Roman, currently set to launch no later than May 2027, will discover as many as 100,000 powerful cosmic explosions as it conducts the High-Latitude Time-Domain Survey observation program. These powerful and violent events …

New clues from ancient seas are reshaping what we know about mass extinction and the future of our oceans. In a recent breakthrough, scientists have confirmed for the first time that a sudden, sharp drop in ocean pH—driven by a massive release of carbon dioxide—played a central role in wiping out entire ecosystems over 200 million years ago. A team …

Geologists recently unveiled groundbreaking seismic evidence of massive, ancient “fortresses” located nearly 1,800 miles below the Earth’s surface, in the mantle. These colossal structures are not only older and tougher than the surrounding rock, but they have reshaped our understanding of the planet’s interior. Their discovery was made possible through innovative seismic techniques, and the findings have been published in …

Several weeks ago, we reported Google was testing AI-generated summaries for Google Discover. Well, according to TechCrunch, Google has confirmed, as of this week, this is an official launch and is rolling out in the U.S. It looks the same as the Google test, where Google adds a few lines summarizing the article and then adds a disclaimer that reads, …

Astronomers have found that a weird space rock at the edge of the solar system is locked in a rhythmic dance with Neptune. The object, designated 2020 VN40, is part of a family of distant solar system objects called trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). 2020 VN40 is the first object discovered that orbits the sun once for every ten orbits Neptune makes. …

Astronomers have recently uncovered a remarkable planetary system around the faint orange star WASP-132, featuring two exoplanets that couldn’t be more different. One is a rocky world that completes an orbit in just over 24 hours, while the other is a frigid gas giant that takes five years to finish its orbit. A Rocky World with a Rapid Orbit The …

Scientists have discovered that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine may increase the risk of eye damage, leading to vision loss.  The new study specifically examined how the vaccine affected patients’ corneas, the clear front part of the eye that allows light to enter. In 64 people, scientists in Turkey measured changes in the cornea’s inner layer, called the endothelium, before taking the first Pfizer dose …

KEY POINTS Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune each emit more energy than they receive from the Sun, meaning they have comparatively warm interiors. NASA’s Uranus flyby with Voyager 2 in 1986 found the planet colder than expected, which challenged ideas of how planets formed and evolved. However, with advanced computer modeling and a new look at old data, scientists think the …
