A Crack Opened In Earth’s Magnetic Field This Week And Stayed Open For 14 Hours

The crack in the magnet field was created by a rare phenomenon called a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) from the Sun. CIRs are large-scale plasma structures generated in the low and mid-latitude regions of the heliosphere – the region surrounding the Sun that includes the solar magnetic field and the solar winds – when fast … Read moreA Crack Opened In Earth’s Magnetic Field This Week And Stayed Open For 14 Hours

Asteroid impacts Earth just two hours after it was discovered

At just three meters wide, 2022 EB5 was around just half the size of an average male giraffe, which grows to be around five-six meters in height. As such, it was unlikely to do any damage if it had impacted the planet.  — Read on m.jpost.com/science/article-701110 However it’s clear that the timeline from discovery to … Read moreAsteroid impacts Earth just two hours after it was discovered

The Odds of This Dangerous Asteroid Hitting Earth Just Went Up

The odds of asteroid Bennu hitting Earth are still extremely low, NASA said in an update, but an impact could be disastrous. — Read on www.vice.com/en/article/qj8ma3/the-odds-of-this-dangerous-asteroid-hitting-earth-just-went-up Scientists have been tracking asteroid 101955 Bennu ever since it was discovered in 1999, in part because its orbit occasionally brings it close to Earth, raising the risk of … Read moreThe Odds of This Dangerous Asteroid Hitting Earth Just Went Up

More Than One Reality Exists (in Quantum Physics) For the first time, scientists have replicated conditions described in the thought experiment. Their results, published Feb. 13 in the preprint journal arXiv, confirmed that even when observers described different states in the same photon, the two conflicting realities could both be true.. # # #

For more than a month now, a European orbiter circling Marshas been watching a long, plume-like cloud on the Red Planet. The cloud has remained in place over a mountain called Arsia Mons near the Martian equator since Sept. 13, according to a statement released by the European Space Agency (ESA). But that location is … Read moreFor more than a month now, a European orbiter circling Marshas…
