What’s causing those lines?
Objects in the sky sometimes appear
reflected as lines across water — but why?
If the water’s surface is smooth, then reflected objects would
appear similarly — as spots
“The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage.”

Like Earth’s moon,
Saturn’s largest moon Titan
is locked in synchronous rotation with its planet
On Earth, coastlines are dynamic interfaces where land and sea meet, often marked by river deltas at the confluence of rivers and oceans. Intriguingly, Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, also possesses rivers and seas, but observations reveal enigmatic features that challenge our understanding. The study was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Titan, the largest of Saturn’s numerous moons, boasts a substantial atmosphere that fosters Earth-like weather patterns, including clouds, wind, and precipitation. However, its rivers, lakes, and seas are composed of liquid methane and ethane, not water. Data from the Cassini spacecraft, obtained in 2006 using specialized radar,…

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may harbor life. Scientists have found out what it might look like, where it is most likely to be found, and in what quantities. The study was published in The Planetary Science Journal, reports Phys. Saturn’s moon Titan is a unique world. It is the only satellite of a planet in the solar system that has a thick atmosphere and liquid on the surface. However, it is not water, but liquid methane, and it is found in lakes and rivers that are located in the middle of a surface covered with ice rocks and sand. It…

It is customary to search for signs of life on rocky planets in the habitable zone of their host star. There, the planet’s surface is not too hot or too cold, allowing for the chemistry of life in liquid water in the presence of a sufficiently dense atmosphere. One could imagine that other forms of life-as-we-do-not-know-it thrive in other fluids. NASA’s Dragonfly mission, scheduled for launch in July 2028, will search for signs of life in the liquid oceans, lakes and rivers of methane and ethane on the surface of Titan, a moon of Saturn. The surface temperature on Titan…

Life on Earth needs water to survive, but scientists think life on other planets might use something totally different, like concentrated sulfuric acid. Water is great for Earth’s life because it helps chemicals mix and react. But in places like Saturn’s moon Titan, where it’s super cold, or Venus, where it’s super acidic, water wouldn’t work. So, scientists are looking at other liquids that could support life. A team of researchers, including scientists from MIT, studied different liquids to see if they could work as a “solvent” for life—a liquid that helps chemicals mix and react. They looked at things…

Joe Rogan has weighed in on whether President-elect Donald Trump will reveal classified information about rumored UFOs when he assumes office in January. During a new episode of The Joe Rogan Experience featuring UFO documentary filmmaker James Fox, Rogan discussed the U.S. government’s handling of unusual drone sightings in cities like New Jersey and New York—incidents some believe could be linked to UFOs. Rogan, who interviewed Trump in October before the November election, told Fox he doesn’t expect Trump to be any more forthcoming than President Joe Biden regarding alleged extraterrestrial spacecraft. “When I confronted Mr. Trump [during our interview],…

Since the discovery of the first exoplanet in 1992, thousands more have been discovered. 40 light years away, one such system of exoplanets was discovered orbiting a star known as Trappist-1. Studies using the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed that one of the planets, Trappist-1 b has a crust that seems to be changing. Geological activity and weathering are a likely cause and if the latter, it suggests the exoplanet has an atmosphere too. Exoplanets are planets that orbit around other stars. In every way they vary in size, composition and distance from their star. Finding them is quite…

This robot prototype was built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to demonstrate the feasibility of a mission concept called SWIM, short for Sensing With Independent Micro-swimmers. SWIM envisions a swarm of dozens of self-propelled, cellphone-size robots exploring the waters of icy moons like Jupiter’s Europa and Saturn’s Enceladus.

Phobos is the innermost, larger moon of the two satellites of Mars. Phobos orbits Mars every 7 hours, 39 minutes and 12 seconds. With a mass of ten trillion tons and a mean diameter of 22 kilometers — the length of Manhattan Island, the escape speed from Phobos is only 11.4 meters per second. This is equivalent to 41 kilometers per hour, a fifth of the speed achievable by the Tesla Cybertruck. In other words, a fast car could lift off from a runway on the surface of Phobos. This makes Phobos an excellent port for shipping cargos between Earth…

At the end of the fifteenth century, simplified versions of medical charts featuring an image of the “Zodiac Man” began to appear in Books of Hours. The Lessing J.

Researchers believe that there are oceans of liquid water beneath the surface of some of the moons of Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, and that extraterrestrial life forms may exist in them. For the past two years, scientists have been urging NASA and other space agencies to send a research mission to the moons of Uranus. It is already known that some moons of Jupiter and Saturn contain oceans of liquid water where extraterrestrial life could exist. The authors of a new article published in the journal Astrobiology argue that some of Uranus’s moons may also harbor oceans…
