A study shows up to 30% of Sun-like stars may engulf planets, altering their metallicity. These "polluted" stars suggest rocky planets are destroyed during orbital decay. Ultra-short-period planets in compact systems are key to understanding this pheno nudes
Solar Cycle 25's activity has surged, producing more frequent sunspots and solar flares than expected. This could intensify space weather, affecting satellites, power grids, and creating more auroras.
A new screw-driven robot prototype can autonomously navigate and mine rocky planets like Mars using Archimedean screws, ideal for challenging surfaces like sand and snow. Developed with EU support, it holds potential for extraterrestrial mining missions.
The Mongols Created the First International Postal System
Genghis Khan established the Yam (postal system), which allowed for fast, reliable communication across the vast Mongol Empire. Riders could travel 200 miles per day using relay stations.
A new study explores how advanced extraterrestrial civilizations might evolve into “stellivores,” harvesting stellar mass for energy beyond the Kardashev Scale's limits. Researchers suggest observing “accreting binaries” to detect potential tech
Dolphins are considered one of the world's most intelligent animals, and they have several cognitive abilities that set them apart. Many researchers consider intelligence to be a combination of perception, communication, and problem-solving.
