For centuries, humans have gazed into the night sky, wondering what lies beyond the planets we know. Each new discovery in the Solar System reshapes our sense of place in the cosmos. Now, astronomers are once again pointing to the possibility of an unseen world – one that may be orbiting far beyond Neptune. This hypothetical body has been given …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Olivine plays a crucial role in transporting water deep into Earth’s mantle. 🔍 Recent research reveals that infrared transparency of olivine facilitates rapid heating of subducting slabs. 💧 Only oceanic plates older than 60 million years can carry water to significant depths. 📊 The study has significant implications for understanding tectonic processes and seismic activity. Recent …

IN A NUTSHELL 🏔️ Beneath Antarctica’s ice, the ancient Transantarctic Mountains stretch over 2,175 miles, influencing ice flow and thickness. 🔬 Researchers use thermochronology to study tectonic movements and glaciation cycles, revealing Earth’s dynamic past. 🌡️ Discoveries, including fossilized trees, offer insights into past climates and help predict future climate changes. 🗺️ The hidden mountains act as a natural divide, …

In today’s health-conscious world, millions turn to dietary supplements like turmeric, green tea extracts, and ashwagandha to boost immunity, metabolism, and overall wellness. Marketed as “natural” and safe, these products are widely trusted. However, emerging research has raised concerns about supplement-induced liver injury (DILI), a serious condition that can develop quickly and, in severe cases, lead to liver failure. Certain …

Slim people may still be at risk of a deadly heart attack—because of hidden fat that accelerates ageing of the heart, a major study has found. The dangerous fat—known as visceral fat—builds up deep inside the body, wrapping around the liver, stomach and intestines.  Unlike the fat you can see and pinch, it is invisible from the outside, meaning many …

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a never-before-seen moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the planet’s count of natural satellites to 29. The moon, for now dubbed S/2025 U1, is just 6 miles (10 kilometers) in diameter, which is why it was invisible to other telescopes and the Voyager 2 spacecraft when it made its 1986 flyby of the icy planet. …

Astronomers spotted a never-before-seen, bite-sized moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the ice giant’s follower count to 29. The moon is so small and faint—well below the detection threshold of NASA’s Voyager 2 probe—that scientists believe Uranus may host many more undiscovered, tiny moons. The moon, provisionally named S/2025 U1, first entered the view of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on …

A groundbreaking study recently published in the Planetary Science Journal has raised the possibility that asteroids Bennu, Ryugu, and Polana may all be fragments of a common parent body. The paper, titled “JWST Spectroscopy of (142) Polana: Connection to NEAs (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu”, delves into the spectral data of these three asteroids, offering insights into their shared origins. …
