space 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.
space 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.
space 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.
space 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.
space 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.
space 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.
space 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.
