How melting icecaps impacts the rotation of Earth

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 16, 2024
Climate change is causing significant melting of ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica, leading to a substantial flow of water into the world's oceans, particularly around the equator. "This means that a shift in mass is taking place, and this is affecting the Earth's rotation," explains Benedikt Soja, Professor of Space Geodesy at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering

Astronomers Utilize Pulsars to Detect Dark Matter Evidence

London, UK (SPX) Jul 16, 2024
Astronomers have detected tantalizing evidence of potential dark matter objects using the Universe's natural 'timekeepers'. Pulsars, neutron stars that emit rotating beams of radio waves, were key in identifying these mysterious hidden masses. These pulsars, known for their precision in emitting electromagnetic radiation at regular intervals, serve as extremely accurate timekeepers,

NASA's Webb Explores Atmospheric Differences on Exoplanet WASP-39 b

Paris, France (SPX) Jul 16, 2024
Researchers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed atmospheric differences between the perpetual morning and evening sides of the exoplanet WASP-39 b. This gas giant, with a diameter 1.3 times that of Jupiter but a mass similar to Saturn, orbits a star 700 light-years away and is tidally locked, meaning it has a permanent dayside and nightside. Using Webb's Near-Infrared Sp

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Duel Over Universe's Evolution

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 16, 2024
The universe, at 13.8 billion years old, has evolved from tiny initial asymmetries into vast structures visible through telescopes: galaxies, galaxy clusters, and larger formations. This evolution is influenced by a cosmic struggle between dark matter, which holds matter together through gravity, and dark energy, which pushes the universe apart. "If we can precisely measure the structures
