Astronomers Created a New Interactive Map of the Universe

The full map of the observable universe is actually a slice of cosmos with a thickness of about 10 degrees. However, it still gives an idea of the scale of our universe as well as its stars and galaxies up to 13.7 billion light-years away.

Astronomers Discover Traces of an Ancient Ocean on Mars

Scientists from Pennsylvania State University have found evidence that about 3.5 billion years ago, Mars had a vast ocean, which covered hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the planet. Its existence was indicated by the topography of the shoreline.

Mumm Designed a Champagne Bottle Designed for Space Travel

If you squeeze a finger-controlled valve, a globule of champagne will be released in the form of foam. Drinkers can scoop the wine out of the air using a tiny glass with a long stem that resembles an egg cup.

Astronauts Could Use Martian Soil for 3D-Printing

In most of their experiments, the researchers mixed different amounts of simulated Martian regolith with a titanium alloy. They also tried to make a 3D-printing material from pure simulated regolith.

NASA Released the Eerie Sound of a Black Hole

NASA has recorded the sounds of a massive black hole 250 million light-years away from Earth in the Perseus Cluster. The object is located so close to the gas clouds that it creates ripple-like sound waves.

Astronomers Discover Alcohol Molecules in the Centre of the Milky Way

A group of scientists has discovered the largest alcohol molecule in space – isopropanol was found in the Sagittarius B2 gas-dust cloud near the center of the Milky Way. Sagittarius B2 is a massive star-forming region where new stars are born.

Astronomers Find Elusive Atoms in the Cosmic Web

The atoms are hard to spot because most of them are in the cosmic web in the form of gas so diffuse that there is no more than about one atom per cubic foot of space, which is much less than in any vacuum on Earth.

Scientists Share the Most Detailed Geological Map of the Moon

The researchers analyzed all the data on the lunar surface collected by space agencies over the past 15 years. The surface of the Moon is divided into various colored zones.

Scientists Managed to Successfully Grow Plants in Moon Soil

Researchers believe that this experiment is a major step toward making a long-term stay in habitats on the Moon possible for humans and solving the problem of food shortages on Earth in the distant future.

Amateur Scientists Discovered More Than 1,000 New Asteroids

For the project, 11,482 citizen science volunteers have processed thousands of images taken by different cameras of the Hubble telescope from 2002 to 2021.

Scientists Discover All 5 Building Blocks of DNA and RNA in Meteorite Samples

Scientists suggest that cytosine and thymine were hard to detect in previous analyses because of their delicate structure.

Scientists Created the Biggest Map of the Universe

The map was created using DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), which helped astrophysicists collect images of the universe over the course of seven months and combine them with each other.
