Webb Space Telescope Discovers Strange Cosmic “Fingerprint”

Webb Space Telescope Discovers Strange Cosmic “Fingerprint”

The two stars in Wolf-Rayet 140 produce shells of dust every eight years that look like rings, as seen in this image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Each ring was created when the stars came close together and their stellar winds collided, compressing the gas and forming dust. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, JPL-Caltech A new Webb image shows at least 17 dust rings created by a rare type…

Breathtaking Footage Shows a Martian Moon Eerily Eclipsing Jupiter: ScienceAlert

Every hour of the day, every day of the year, our Solar System is just out there beyond Earth’s pale blue sky, doing its thing. Sometimes – if we’re in the right place at the right time – we get to see that thing from a new perspective. A little spacecraft over 100 million kilometers (62 million miles) from home happened to be in the right place at the right time, and we couldn’t be more…

Dead Creatures Buried in The Ocean Could Influence Earthquakes, Scientists Say: ScienceAlert

Dead Creatures Buried in The Ocean Could Influence Earthquakes, Scientists Say: ScienceAlert

The Hikurangi subduction zone is the largest fault in the vicinity of New Zealand, capable of creating ‘megathrust’ earthquakes that typically rumble at magnitudes 8 and above. New research shows tiny, ancient marine organisms could have a major impact on the next seismic event there. Researchers studying the region have found that calcite deposits left behind by masses of single-celled marine…
