According to a study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists discovered a planet that may support human life, named Gliese 12 b. An unusual and intriguing finding has been uncovered by astronomers: an exoplanet 40 light-years away that resembles Earth and may be somewhat warmer
UC San Diego geophysicist Professor Duncan Agnew stated in his paper that as Earth’s rotation has been increasing, time will stop in 2029, and a second could be removed. Every four years, there is an additional day added to February, which is referred to as a leap year.However, an additional
The United Nations Population Division’s population figures were used by Visual Capitalists to imagine Earth with 1000 people. Over the past 50 years, the number of people on the planet has doubled. We will have 8 billion people on Earth by 2022. UN estimates state that by July 2023, there
Astronomers predict that by 2025, Saturn’s Iconic Rings will disappear and will not be visible from Earth due to a tilt in Saturn’s angle. The planet’s rings will disappear in March 2025, therefore those amateur astronomers who would like to witness them should seize the chance as soon as possible.
A study conducted by researchers at Seoul National University has found that the Earth’s rotational pole has shifted due to the extraction of groundwater. Earth is, in many ways, a water world. Around two-thirds of its surface is covered in water, and the oceans that provide that cover make up
Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFJ PAN) in Krakow, Poland, have found a link between surges of cosmic radiation from space and earthquakes on Earth. Impending earthquakes can be witnessed from space. Photo for representation: IFJ PAN/NASA/JSC Scientists have identified a striking
A study published in the journal Nature has revealed that water on Earth did not form on its own but was instead acquired from outer space. Vacuuming of small dust particles led to formation of water on Earth. (Photo: AFP) Scientists have made a surprising discovery that suggests the Earth
According to a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, Earth once had just 19-hour-long days due to the presence of the Moon. The movement of Earth in space is influenced by various astronomical bodies. (Photo: Getty) Earth once had days that were only 19 hours long, a stark contrast
Asteroid 2023 FW13 is another quasi-moon that has been found orbiting Earth and has been revolving around Earth since 100 BC. Astronomers recently discovered Asteroid 2023 FW13. This asteroid has amazed asteroid watchers because of its riveting properties. It is only about the size of a 5-storey building and it
