Space Station Drives 'Star Trek' Fiction Toward Reality: NASA Video
"Star Trek" shows a universe where people can warp out to nearby stars and visit many worlds that are similar to Earth. While humans in the real world are much more limited in their options for space travel, NASA said that the International Space Station (ISS) is paving the way for a future where humans can reach farther out into the universe. Last Friday (July 22), the administration released a new video called "NASA: On The Edge of Forever," referring to the name of an episode of "Sta..>> view originalMalaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Third Study Now Shows Plane Lies North Of Official Search Area
The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 aircraft, which vanished from the skies almost 29 months ago, probably lies in the waters of the Indian Ocean, in an area hundreds of miles north of the search area where the official search team has been scouring the ocean floor with no results since September of 2014, according to a new computer analysis by a research team in Italy. The new study is the third such analysis using computer data on ocean drift patterns, tracing how debris follows the currents i..>> view originalIs the Great Red Spot the source of Jupiter's mysterious heat?
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has never been short on mystery. But one question that has proven particularly puzzling is why the planet's upper atmosphere sizzles away at extraordinarily high temperatures when it is so far from the Sun. Decades have gone by without a plausible explanation, but scientists have now come across evidence suggesting the enigmatic Great Red Spot is acting as the supplier of this mysterious heat. Researchers have been aware of the stifling heat in ..>> view originalSomething Is Erasing The Craters On Ceres
Ceres, the tiny asteroid belt world we’ve come to know and love through NASA’s Dawn mission, seems to delight in mysteries, from flickering bright spots to unexpected ocean minerals. Now, astronomers have discovered yet another puzzle while examining images of Ceres’ surface. Something has been erasing its craters. A grazing view of Ceres’ largest well-preserved 280km impact crater, Kerwan, near the limb. Colour coding indicates elevation; blue regions are low and red regions are high.

London, Jul 28 (PTI) An adolescent orangutan in a US zoo that can copy sounds made by humans could help scientists understand how our speech evolved from the time of the ancestral great apes, according to new research. In an imitation "do-as-I-do" game, the orangutan called Rocky, who was eight at the time of the research, was able to copy the pitch and tone of sounds made by researchers to make vowel-like calls. The research, led by Adriano Lameira of Durham University in the UK, shows that ora..>> view originalThese 3 Australian universities are in the top 100 in the world for research
Three Australian universities are in the top 100 most improved academic institutions globally after they showed significant growth in high-quality research publications. In the Nature Index, the University of New South Wales (52nd), the University of Queensland (58th) and Curtin University (94th) have all been named as players to watch after increasing their performances between 2012 and 2015. Curtin University in Western Australia increased its contribution to high quality journals by more t..>> view originalMysterious Purple Sea Orb Stymies Scientists
A mysterious purple orb found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean stumped NOAA scientists onboard the Nautilus research vessel. Credit: NOAA "Have a look at that dark purple blob on the left, there." With those words, scientists aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus uncovered a marine mystery: a small purple orb tucked halfway under a rock off the coast of California. Researchers are so far stumped as to what the colorful, bumpy little ball might be. Their best guess is that it mi..>> view originalCX330: Galaxy's loneliest baby star discovered wandering far from stellar nurseries
It's younger than humanity; a baby star barely a million years old wandering far from any stellar nursery.CX330, about 25,000 light years from Earth in the Milky Way's galactic bulge, has been described as the galaxy's loneliest star. It is confounding astronomers, who aren't sure why it is forming so far from where you'd expect such a star to form.
