Strange glowing 'bow-and-arrow' structure may be a giant cosmic shock wave created by a supersonic galaxy collision - Space
The unusual object may reveal a giant cosmic shock wave created as a galaxy plows through a cluster at supersonic speeds...
Only one spacecraft has ever visited Uranus or Neptune: Voyager 2, which flew past Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989. Nearly four decades later, no mission has returned, leaving many of the biggest questions those flybys raised — about the planets’ interi - Space Daily
Voyager 2 remains the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus and Neptune, leaving many ice-giant questions to be answere...
Scientists took one of the naked mole rat’s longevity tricks — a gene that helps it produce unusually protective hyaluronan — and put it into mice. The result: the mice lived longer, had less inflammation, and were more resistant to tumours. - Space Daily
A Nature mouse study tested whether one naked mole-rat longevity trait, high-molecular-mass hyaluronan production throug...
We tend to think quantum tunnelling is a subatomic curiosity, but in 1984 and 1985 physicists at UC Berkeley showed that a superconducting electrical circuit big enough to hold in your hand could tunnel from one state to another — a discovery that won the 20 - Space Daily
A look at the Berkeley superconducting circuit experiments that demonstrated macroscopic quantum tunnelling and energy q...
In 2018, low Earth orbit still had months of margin: if satellites stopped dodging one another, researchers estimate it could take 164 days before a catastrophic collision. By 2025, after the rise of megaconstellations, that margin had collapsed to just 5.5 days. - Space Daily
A proposed CRASH Clock metric estimates how low Earth orbit's recovery margin has tightened as megaconstellations have i...
A bowhead whale can live for more than 200 years, yet it appears unusually resistant to cancer — and its genome carries genetic changes that may help explain why. Researchers have found signs of enhanced DNA repair in bowhead cells, turning one of the - Space Daily
Bowhead whales can live beyond 200 years, and genome and cell studies point to DNA repair as one possible clue to their ...
In 1977, Ann Druyan recorded an hour of her brainwaves and heartbeat just two days after she and Carl Sagan agreed to marry, and NASA pressed that compressed minute onto Voyager's Golden Record as a private love letter now more than 25 billion kilome - Space Daily
Ann Druyan's compressed life-signs recording on Voyager's Golden Record remains one of the mission's most intimate human...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a spiral galaxy, nicknamed the Big Wheel, that existed just two billion years after the Big Bang — five times more massive than the Milky Way, with a spiral structure our models say couldn't have survived that early - Space Daily
JWST observations reveal the Big Wheel as a giant rotating disk galaxy two billion years after the Big Bang, unusually m...

The Roman Space Telescope has the same size mirror as Hubble, but it will survey the sky up to 1,000 times faster — not because it sees deeper, but because it sees wider: each Roman image captures a patch of sky at least 100 times larger, making Hubble’s - Space Daily
Roman uses a Hubble-size mirror, but its Wide Field Instrument captures far more sky per exposure, allowing surveys up t...
