I showed this to a couple of friends yesterday to see what they thought. They both thought it was a meteor exploding in the atmosphere - a rather bright one called a bolide. Timelapse is slowed down to one frame per second for you to see it streaking and then exploding. If you

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick shared a breathtaking time-lapse video captured from the International Space Station, showcasing the Milky Way and an aurora borealis with city lights reflecting off solar panels. This visually stunning clip, one of the best space videos I've seen, was made

RIP #hvaldimir 😭 They are doing the autopsy, but it seems like someone shot him. The Russian "spy" whale that escaped and ended up in Norwegian waters was so social with humans because he was so lonely. #PeopleSucks

NASA's NASA Europa Clipper mission, set to launch on October 10, 2024, has passed crucial tests confirming its ability to withstand Jupiter's intense radiation. The spacecraft, launching on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy, will study Jupiter's moon Europa, which may have a subsurface ocean.

The first nuclear clock could surpass atomic clocks in precision. This clock is based on the energy levels within a thorium-229 nucleus, rather than the electron transitions used in current atomic clocks. The key significance of the nuclear clock lies in its potential to test

The #JSWT has recently captured a remarkable image that showcases a distant galaxy that appears distorted, forming a shape resembling a cosmic question mark. The distorted appearance of the galaxy is caused by the phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, where the light from

.Hubble has taken a stunning ultraviolet image of the star cluster NGC 1365. Located in the Fornax galaxy cluster, this image highlights the star-forming regions within NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy. Ultraviolet light emphasizes younger, hotter

A series of stratospheric warming events occurred above Antarctica during July and August 2024, with temperatures rising by up to 17°C. This disrupted the polar vortex, weakening its winds and elongating its shape. Sudden stratospheric warming events, more common in the Arctic,

Researchers have discovered that extremely young stars are forming in the centers of very old galaxies, particularly NGC 1386. Using data from telescopes like the Hubble and ALMA Observatory📡, scientists found faint star clusters, indicating synchronized star formation around 4

Researchers provide evidence that massive galaxies in the early universe formed through rapid gas accretion, followed by periods of quiescence, instead of steady growth. These findings are based on high-resolution simulations and observations of distant galaxies, showing that

Nothing to see here, just cats being cats. 😹 lol

Researchers have identified volcanic activity on the Moon that occurred 120 million years ago, the youngest confirmed evidence of lunar volcanism. This discovery was made through the analysis of volcanic glass beads from samples returned by China’s Chang’e-5 mission. The results

MACS J0417.5-1154 Wide Field #JWST #NIRCam A cosmic question mark appears amid a powerful gravitational lens in the #JWST’s wide-field view of the galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154. Gravitational lensing occurs when something is so massive, like this galaxy cluster, that it

NASA's PREFIRE mission captured its first data on polar heat emissions. The mission is designed to measure how much heat the Arctic and Antarctic emit into space, focusing on how the poles are warming. PREFIRE's data will help scientists understand how changing polar

.Hubble and MAVEN missions have worked together to investigate how Mars lost much of its water. Water molecules on Mars are broken down by sunlight, releasing hydrogen and deuterium. Since deuterium is heavier, it escapes into space more slowly than hydrogen, leaving behind

Nice comeback single! Sounds a lot like The Hunting Party. Welcome back, LP! Very well done Emily! I missed you. 😍 LINKIN PARK

Scientists are exploring how Earth's inner core, a solid ball of iron and nickel, formed and continues to evolve. The core is key to generating Earth's magnetic field, which protects life from solar radiation. New research highlights the role of "supercooling" in core formation,

😯😯 Scientists have discovered that a common food dye, tartrazine (Yellow No. 5), can make skin and muscle temporarily transparent. When applied to live mice, this dye allows researchers to see through tissues to observe organs like the liver, intestines, and even blood vessels
