Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst argue that an ultra-high-energy neutrino detected by the KM3NeT experiment could be the signature of an explosion of a ‘quasi-extremal primordial black hole,’ pointing toward new…

Even Local Dust Storms Can Drive Water Loss on Mars, Study Suggests
Mars almost certainly once held abundant water. Until now, observations have shown that most atmospheric water loss occurs during the Red Planet’s southern summer, when warmer, dustier conditions allow water vapor to rise to high altitudes…

It’s time to think about human reproduction in space, scientists urge
As humanity moves from brief space missions toward longer stays — driven by commercial ambitions for moon bases and eventual Martian settlements — scientists are beginning to confront how the conditions of space may affect human…

NASA Used AI to Drive Its Perseverance Mars Rover for the First Time
Plotting a course for NASA’s Perseverance rover, 140 million miles away on Mars, is significantly more difficult than setting a driving route here on Earth, where we can punch an address into Google Maps and be on our way in seconds. The rover’s…

Sunspot region continues to blast out powerful solar flares
A newly active area on the sun is responsible for dozens of eruptions known as solar flares, including back-to-back X-class flares earlier this week.
Solar flares typically originate from active regions on the sun, which are marked by groups of…

Watch dead neutron stars smash together in new NASA supercomputer simulation
A new simulation created using a NASA supercomputer has shown how things get messy for merging neutron stars even before they slam together; their magnetospheres, the most powerful magnetic fields in the known universe, entwine and generate…
