By Deborah Byrd in SPACE | December 10, 2018 Many have predicted a weak sunspot cycle in the years ahead, but new work from India suggests otherwise. The work dashes speculations of a sun-induced global cooling of Earth’s climate in the coming decade. It is thought that the current sunspot cycle – cycle 24 – will approximately span the years […]

By Space News and SPACE.com Staff | September 28, 2012 02:37am ET On Oct. 4, 2007, the Space Age celebrated the 50th anniversary of the historic launch of Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, by the former Soviet Union. The space shot also launched the Space Race to the moon between the United States and the Soviet Union. But

In a lab shrouded in darkness, scientists looking at mouse retinas discovered something eye-popping. Animals in darkness need to adjust their eyes to navigate a host of situations, whether they’re straining to see the galaxy next door or avoiding being turned into dinner. In most cases, the light-sensing machinery in eyes changes to take in more of

The first university in Europe was established by Muslims in the year 841, in the city of Salerno (Italy), It was an extension of the Muslim universities in the east, Then the universities in Toledo, Seville, and Granada were opened. So when the students from Europe (The Non—Mus|ims) learned and graduated from these universities, and

China is planning on building a huge particle accelerator twice the size and seven times as powerful as CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The main goal is to reveal a new physics beyond the Standard Model and the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism along with the clues to understanding dark matter and supersymmetry also. According to China Daily reports,

Thousands of people moved to let China build and protect the world’s largest telescope. And then the government drew in orders of magnitude more tourists, potentially undercutting its own science in an attempt to promote it. “I HOPE WE go inside this golf ball,” Sabrina Stierwalt joked as she and a group of other radio astronomers

We all love our most cherished ideas about how the world and the Universe works. Our conception of reality is often inextricably intertwined with our ideas of who we are. But to be a scientist is to be prepared to doubt all of it each and every time we put it to the test. All

Before we jump into this, you should know that a number of scientists are currently researching the feasibility of warp drive (and EMdrive and a number of other modes of faster than light travel); however, most think that such forms of space travel simply aren’t viable, thanks to the fundamental physics of our universe. So although
