- NASA Solves Black Hole Jet X-ray Mystery with IXPE’s Polarization Powers 9. mai 2025NASA’s IXPE satellite may have solved a longstanding astrophysical mystery: how are X-rays produced in the extreme jets of supermassive black holes? By observing the blazar BL Lacertae, IXPE recorded low X-ray polarization versus very high optical polarization—confirming Compton scattering as the likely mechanism. This breakthrough supports the electron-photon int...
- SpaceX Falcon 9 Successfully Launches 28 Starlink Satellites to Orbit From Florida 9. mai 2025SpaceX launched 28 new Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida on May 6, marking its 53rd mission of 2025. The booster landed safely at sea, while the satellites will soon integrate into the 7,200+ strong Starlink network, continuing the company’s mission to provide high-speed global internet, especially to underserved remote regions.
- Asteroid Vesta May Be a Fragment of a Lost Planet, Say Scientists 9. mai 2025Vesta, once believed to be a stalled protoplanet, may be a fragment of a long-lost differentiated planet. Using refined gravity data from NASA’s Dawn mission, scientists found it lacks a dense core, suggesting it was ejected during a primordial impact. This revised view may apply to other asteroids and reshape planetary formation theories.
- SpaceX Gets FAA Green Light for 25 Annual Starship Launches from Texas’ Starbase Facility 9. mai 2025The FAA has granted SpaceX approval to carry out up to 25 Starship launches and landings annually from its Starbase site in Texas. Following an environmental review that found no significant impact, the decision enables SpaceX to accelerate its testing schedule and advance development plans aimed at future Moon and Mars exploration missions.
- Massive Asteroid 2002 JX8 to Fly Past Earth on May 9, Live Stream Available for Public Viewing 9. mai 2025A 950-foot-wide asteroid named 2002 JX8 will safely pass Earth on May 9. The Virtual Telescope Project will livestream the event starting at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Scientists confirm there is no risk, as the asteroid will remain over 2.6 million miles away. It’s classified as potentially hazardous based on size and distance, not on collision […]
- Cuttlefish May Communicate Using Tentacle Waves, Study Finds 9. mai 2025Cuttlefish are known to use more than color-changing and posture to communicate — new research suggests they wave their tentacles to send signals. Scientists at École Normale Supérieure observed four distinct wave patterns and found cuttlefish respond both visually and through water vibrations. With plans to use AI and robotics to decode these gestures, researcher...
- Digital Resurrection of Titanic Reveals How the Ship Was Torn Apart in Its Final Hours 9. mai 2025A full-scale 3D model of the Titanic, built from 715,000 scans, shows the ship tore apart violently, not in a clean split, after hitting an iceberg. The documentary confirms heroic crew actions, including engineers who died keeping the power on. It also explores real artefacts, offering a vivid new look at the ship’s final moments […]
- NASA Spots Plankton Swarms from Space to Help Save North Atlantic Right Whales 9. mai 2025North Atlantic Right Whales are one of the world’s most endangered mammals. They face threats from fishing gear entanglement and ship collisions. Scientists are now using NASA satellite data to track the whales’ key food source, the red coloured plankton Calanus finmarchicus, in the Gulf of Maine. By identifying swarms of this copepod via its […]
- Automotive Blockchain Market Projected to Hit $5.6 Billion by 2030: Report 9. mai 2025A report by Allied Market Research (AMR) has estimated that the global automotive blockchain market is on the track to become a $5.6 billion (roughly Rs. 47,800 crore) dollar industry by 2030.
