The Sun is nearing the most intense part of its 11-year cycle, and as it approaches the time-frame of intensity, the chances of Earth feeling its power increase. The Sun may cause Earth some severe problems in the next four years as our local star begins to wake from its short slumber. For those that…

Geoscientist Professor Frank Brenker and a team from Goethe University Frankfurt were some of the first scientists to study the samples. They used a state-of-the-art proprietary analysis method to investigate the chemical composition of the samples without damaging any of the materials. Their method, called “Synchrotron Radiation-induced X-Ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography”, or SR-XRF-CT, allowed them…

NASA’s deep-space exploration robots are typically engineering marvels built for longevity. You have the Voyager probes at the end of the solar system, dutifully operating decades after launch. The Parker Solar Probe dances around the sun, sporting an epic heat shield that’ll hopefully keep it operating for years. And Lucy, though it’s had some issues, is…

Archeology is mostly considered a hobby these days because of how costly it is and how low the chances of actually encountering something worthwhile really are.

A massive sunspot that has doubled in size in less than 24 hours is currently facing Earth, which means it is expected to unleash a solar flare in our direction.     Sunspots are dark regions on the sun’s surface that are accompanied by powerful radiation bursts. Because they are colder than other areas of…

What Will Happen to the Sun?   STELLAR CORPSE. After the Sun’s death, much of its matter will dissipate as a planetary nebula, a slowly expanding bubble of gas. The Helix Nebula in Aquarius represents one of the sky’s most beautiful such objects. The Sun is an ordinary star. It bathes the solar system with…
