A new research has found that pollution has resulted in the death of more than 16% people globally per year. It is a major cause of climate change and atmospheric temperature which changes the pattern of the earth.
The Orionid meteors, debris of Halley's comet could be seen this week in the Southeastern sky near Orion. The best views of the comets could be found on Oct. 21.
Gill Broussard, an amateur astronomer, and Nibiru researcher have claimed that the Planet X or Nibiru does exist. The new theory was put forward when the claim of Nibiru causing the doomsday on October 15 turned out to be a failure.
Planetary scientists come up with theories that life may be present in icy oceans of other planets and moons.This theory is however not proved by any evidence.
Researchers proved that climate changes had resulted in a mass extinction 250 million years ago. The research was done in the Karoo valley in the South Africa.
NASA has identified electric charging of Martian moon Phobos during solar wind. It is found that plasma in the solar wind charges the moon. This charges could accumulate in spacesuits of astronauts and could damage electrical equipment in the space vehicles.
Astronomers have discovered merging of five pairs of supermassive black holes using observatory telescopes can lead to the production of tremendous amounts of gravitational waves.
Researchers of the Brown University have found out that running water found in Mars was resultant from melting of glaciers. They also found that Mars had climate changes which made the glaciers melt during summers.
Google has announced that it has started to include Venus, dwarf planets Pluto and Ceres and nine moons of Jupiter and Saturn in its Google Maps. The new development in google map is capable of helping space missions and the mission for human settlement in Mars.
The astronomers of Princeton University have discovered twin stars at 350 light years distance from the Earth. One of the stars is found to feed on its own planets. These binary stars have different kinds of structures and are widely distant from each other as compared to other twin planets.
Two separate research studies have found that baryon particles constituted more than 50 percent of the visible universe. The particles are found in ionized gas clouds between the galaxies, said researchers who studied millions of galaxies to make the discovery.
A United Nation sponsored IPCC research has found that hurricanes could cause greater destruction in future with the increase in ocean temperature. The research found that wind speed and affected regions would be more with the increasing temperature.
A recent genetic study has found that the early inhabitants of the Eastern island in Chile didn't have any relationship with their neighboring South American continent. The island which has been famous for its giant statues was indeed in isolation till the European explorers reached there in 1722.
The NASA scientist has formulated theories of the existence of a ninth planet in the solar system. They believe that the ninth planet is capable of changing the course of the entire solar system.
An asteroid will make a close travel nearby earth on October 12. Scientists are seeing it as an oppurtunity to learn about earth's asteroid defense system.
The diminishing quantity of propellant fuel Plutonium 238 becomes a major concern for future space mission. The NASA and Department of Energy are trying their best to produce Pu-238.
A researcher at Boston University has found a technique which could alter the learning and behavior pattern of humans. This technique is believed to be helpful to cure a wide range of brain diseases like anxiety, Parkinson's disease, autism, schizophrenia, ACHD and Alzheimer's.
Researchers have found that atmosphere was formed in moon before 4 billion years ago due to constant volcanic eruptions. The gases present there are believed to be entrapped in the ice of the moon's unlit polar regions.
