When NASA’s Perseverance arrives at Jezero crater on Mars today at 3:55 p.m. ET, it will be doing so in a location that is far more hazardous than any of its predecessors had to contend with

The UCLA planetary scientist is deputy principal investigator for one of the NASA rover’s experiments NASA/JPL/Caltech/FFI Rendering of the NASA Perseverance. The rover’s RIMFAX technology will use radar waves to probe the unexplored world that lies beneath the Martian surface. Stuart Wolpert | February 16, 2021 NASA’s Perseverance rover is scheduled to land on Mars on Feb. 18 after a six-and-a-half month flight. Over the next two years, it will explore Jezero Crater, which is...

Human-Induced Climate Change Directly Linked to Flood Risk in Glacial Lakes Written by AZoCleantechFeb 5 2021 The warming of Earth has caused glaciers to retreat, leading to changes in mountain water systems across the globe. Historical photographs (first three panels) and satellite images show how Lake Palcacocha has grown as the glacier has receded. The lake is now about 34 times its volume in 1970.

This illustration shows magnetic field lines protruding from a highly magnetic neutron star, or a dense nugget left over after a star goes supernova and explodes. Known as magnetars, these objects generate bright bursts of light that might be powered by their strong magnetic fields (Image: European Space Agency) Photograph:( Others ) Story highlights The magnet...

Unusual activity in lunar impacts, creating rapid flashes of bright light, has been detected by the Sharjah Astronomical Observatory.

Meteors hit Moon; rare event detected by UAE observatory Wam A Sharjah observatory has detected "rare sequential impacts" on the Moon. Detected by the Sharjah Astronomical Observatory, the team has analysed the time of impacts and their relative positions. Based on this, it has been determined that they are a series of meteorite impacts. They resulted from the disintegration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational pull of the Moon as it approaches its surface. ALSO READ It app...
