As we launch into 2024, the stellar accomplishments of the previous year still glimmer in our collective memory. Recall the daring of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx, which gracefully pirouetted with an asteroid, returning with celestial treasures? Or India’s Chandrayaan-3, which shed light on the enigmatic lunar south pole? These feats were just the beginning. The space missions […]
NASA’s Alert on Asteroid 2023 VD6 NASA has warned about a giant 500-foot asteroid, designated as Asteroid 2023 VD6, rapidly approaching Earth. This asteroid, comparable in size to a 50-story building, is moving towards Earth at high speed, clocking at approximately 55,680 kilometers per hour. How Close Will Asteroid 2023 VD6 Come to Earth? It […]
Introduction In an unprecedented breakthrough that is rewriting textbooks and reshaping our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the presence of quartz crystals in the atmosphere of the distant exoplanet WASP-17b. Far from being an arbitrary discovery, the identification of these crystals changes our entire comprehension of cloud composition […]

Gas and dust squeezed between more giant planets may form smaller planets. Unveiling the Sandwiched Planet Formation & Insights of Smaller Planets: “Sandwich Planet Formation” might occur in protoplanetary disks, enormous disks of planet-birthing gas, and dust that spin around young stars. 4.5 billion years ago, the solar system was a disk around the baby […]
TRAPPIST-1 c Atmosphere’s Analysis A team of scientists from around the world used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy emitted by TRAPPIST-1 c, a rocky exoplanet. The findings indicate that, if there is indeed an atmosphere, it is remarkably tenuous. TRAPPIST-1 c, with a dayside temperature of approximately 380 […]
News: This image displays a swirl near Jupiter’s north pole and shows the lightning on Jupiter. Where does the Lightning on Jupiter Come From? Lightning originates from water-based clouds on Earth and is predominantly observed near the equator. On Jupiter, however, it’s likely that lightning is generated from a mixture of ammonia and water clouds […]
