Giant Radar Antenna Reflector on NASA-ISRO Satellite in Full ‘Bloom’

Giant Radar Antenna Reflector on NASA-ISRO Satellite in Full ‘Bloom’

The mission carries the most sophisticated radar systems ever launched as part of a NASA mission. In a first, the satellite combines two synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems: an L-band system that can see through clouds and forest canopy, and an S-band system that can see through clouds as well but is more sensitive to light vegetation and moisture in …

Fossilized Skulls Prove A Giant Dinosaur Could Crush Bones Like Glass

Fossilized Skulls Prove A Giant Dinosaur Could Crush Bones Like Glass

A groundbreaking study published in Current Biology, titled “Carnivorous dinosaur lineages adopt different skull performances at gigantic size”, has revealed striking differences in the hunting strategies of the world’s largest predatory dinosaurs. By analyzing fossilized skulls, researchers found that while some species were adept at slicing through massive slabs of flesh, others had evolved jaws capable of delivering formidable, bone-crushing …

A Giant Hot Blob Is Moving Toward New York, Tied to Forces That Once Tore Continents Apart

A recently published study in Geology by Thomas M. Gernon, Sascha Brune, Thea K. Hincks, and Derek Keir provides new insight into an enormous mantle anomaly—a zone of unusually hot and low-density rock—deep beneath New England. This feature, known as the Northern Appalachian Anomaly (NAA), measures approximately 400 kilometers across and lies about 200 kilometers below the Earth’s surface, within …

18 Year Study Reveals Truth of Where Giant Rogue Waves Come From : ScienceAlert

Rogue waves have captivated the attention of both seafarers and scientists for decades. These are giant, isolated waves that appear suddenly in the open ocean. These puzzling giants are brief, typically lasting less than a minute before disappearing. They can reach heights of 65 feet (20 meters) or greater and often more than twice the height of surrounding waves. Once …
