As the space around Earth becomes increasingly littered with man-made debris, scientists are stepping up efforts to preserve satellites in real time. The latest of these efforts are new algorithms being developed at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to automatically track and protect spacecraft from crashing into satellites. asteroids inside cislunar space — The… Read More »
Scientists using the NASA space telescope have discovered an exciting world. It is about the size of Earth, very close to our solar system, and could be suitable for life as we know it. The extrasolar planet, or “exoplanet,” called Gliese 12 b, orbits a small, cool red dwarf star about 40 light-years from Earth… Read More »
Like the rivers of our planet arteries of our planet. They are woven into complex networks that carry life-supporting fresh water around the world. Not only are rivers our own livelihoods, providing us with the drinking water we need to survive, but freshwater reserves are also the primary lifelines of 10 percent of all known… Read More »

He went and did it again. Massive sunspot AR3664 has unleashed the most powerful solar flare ever, and Earth is once again in the line of fire. The X3.98 burst peaked early this morning (May 10) at 02:54 (0654 GMT) and triggered a temporary or complete loss of high-frequency (HF) radio signals across Asia, Eastern… Read More »
The most powerful solar storm in almost 20 years is expected to hit Earth on Friday night and the Northern Lights are likely to be visible from across the UK. Bursts of charged particles, resulting from a series of powerful explosions from the Sun’s surface, are traveling directly towards Earth at about 900 km per… Read More »
