Researchers’ detection of two gases, phosphine and ammonia, in the clouds of Venus raises speculation about possible life forms in the planet’s atmosphere.
Common Denominator Dark matter, the invisible substance that accounts for over 80 percent of the universe's mass, is not an easy thing to detect. We can see its gravitational pull on visible matter, however, and of that stuff, hydrogen is the most common element out there. Look for where hydrogen clumps Taking advantage of this, […]

STORY: SpaceX could soon be landing its rockets near Australia. Reuters sources say Elon Musk’s firm is in talks to bring one of its giant Starships down just off the coast. That follows a June test, which saw one of the rockets conduct a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean. It also comes as the U.S. and Australia step up their security ties in a bid to counter China.Going ahead will require Washington to relax strict controls on the overseas use of the sophisticated technologies in the rockets, according to the sources.The plan would see a Starship blast off from Texas, land in the sea off Australia, and then be towed ashore for recovery and reuse. That could reportedly be the first phase of a more ambitious plan that would see the rockets take off from or land on Australian soil. Starships are designed to be fully reusable, and could have applications besides launching satellites and astronauts. The U.S. Air Force is examining whether they could be used to deliver cargo to the far side of the world in just 90 minutes. SpaceX has also been researching the idea, funded by a Pentagon grant.U.S. budget documents suggest it will start working on a prototype next year. Some at the Pentagon reportedly viewed the June landing in the Indian Ocean as key step towards the capability.

People are drawn to human interest stories and negative information.
Forests and other land ecosystems failed to curb climate change in 2023 as intense drought in the Amazon rainforest and record wildfires in Canada hampered their natural ability to absorb carbon dioxide, according to a study presented on Monday. That means a record amount of carbon dioxide entered Earth's atmosphere last year, further feeding global warming, the researchers said. Forests and other land ecosystems on average absorb nearly a third of annual emissions from fossil fuels, industry and other human causes.
The northern lights could grace skies farther south than usual this week because of a solar storm that may affect Earth, according to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
