More than a meteorite: New clues about the demise of dinosaurs
Sunday, 10 December 2023 10:22What wiped out the dinosaurs? A meteorite plummeting to Earth is only part of the story, a new study suggests. Climate change triggered by massive volcanic eruptions may have ultimately set the stage for the dinosaur extinction, challenging the traditional narrative that a meteorite alone delivered the final blow to the ancient giants. That's according to a study published in Science Advan
Astronomers determine the age of three mysterious baby stars at the heart of the Milky Way
Sunday, 10 December 2023 10:22Through analysis of high-resolution data from a ten-metre telescope in Hawaii, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in generating new knowledge about three stars at the very heart of the Milky Way. The stars proved to be unusually young with a puzzling chemical composition that surprised the researchers. The study, which has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Le
AWE Project Achieves Milestone with First Light Images from Space
Sunday, 10 December 2023 06:46NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) has successfully obtained its initial images of the mesosphere, marking a major milestone for the project. Installed on the International Space Station (ISS) on November 18, AWE commenced operations shortly thereafter, with the first commands being transmitted to the instrument on November 20. The recent acquisition of these "first light" images is a cru
