NASA's TRACERS Mission Rescheduled for 2025 to Explore Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field
NASA has delayed its TRACERS mission to no earlier than 2025 to provide additional preparation time for the crew. The mission will send twin satellites to explore how solar wind interacts with Earth's magnetosphere, particularly through a process called magnetic reconnection. These high-speed solar particles can trigger auroras and impact satellite...

World's Largest Solar Telescope Captures Stunning Details Of Sun's Surface
The world's biggest solar telescope has captured the stunning details of the Sun's surface, showing sunspots and intense magnetic activity. The newly released image comes as the Sun moves towards its most active phase of its 11-year solar cycle.

Magnetic Fields Could Significantly Influence Oscillations in Merging Neutron Stars, Study Finds
Magnetic fields may play a bigger role in neutron star mergers than previously thought. A new study using advanced simulations shows that these fields can shift or suppress oscillation frequencies, altering gravitational wave signatures. This discovery could change how astronomers decode post-merger signals and refine models of neutron star interio...

From US Senators To Tech Billionaires: Why Taj Mahal Keeps Impressing Global Icons
The Taj Mahal is beyond beautiful. From US Vice President JD Vance to Mark Zuckerberg to Princess Diana, this monuments enduring magnetism continues to attract even the most high-profile travellers.

Shape-Recovering Liquid Accidentally Created by Student, Challenges the Law of Thermodynamics
Upon blending the oil, water, and nickel mixture, a shape-recovering liquid, which consistently returns to the shape of a Grecian urn, was formed. It defies the law of thermodynamics. Further investigations revealed that this strange behaviour of the particles is due to the magnetic field of the particles and not a violation of the law of thermodyn...

Hidden Solar Cycle Could Reshape Space Weather for the Next 50 Years, Finds Study
A hidden solar cycle is emerging, potentially intensifying space weather events over the next 50 years. While this cycle may raise concerns about geomagnetic storms and satellite disruptions, scientists believe it could also offer valuable opportunities to advance space weather forecasting, study Earth's magnetic field, and improve our resilience t...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Tracks a Neutron Star With Mysterious Origin
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope spotted a rogue magnetar, dubbed SGR 0501+4516, traversing our galaxy for a significantly long time. As per claims by scientists, it was first discovered in the year 2008 by NASA's Swift Observatory as intense flashes of gamma rays in the outer area of the Milky Way

China Halts Export Of Key Metals, Magnet As Trade War With US Intensifies
As the trade war between the US and China escalates, Beijing has suspended the export of several critical rare earth elements, metals and magnets, threatening to choke off supplies to the West

Scientists Finally Discover How Long a Day Lasts on Uranus
Astronomers confirm Uranus’ rotation period using internal oscillation modeling for the first time. On Uranus, a day just lasts far longer. More precise rotational time observations of the gas giant should enable scientists to plan visits to investigate it. Unlike on Mars and Earth, savage windstorms make it far more difficult to identify the rot...

Nintendo Switch 2 With 7.9-Inch LCD Display, Magnetic Joy-Cons Fully Unveiled; Will Launch June 5
Nintendo fully unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 in a Direct presentation on Wednesday, finally providing a closer look at its next console. As seen in the first-look trailer in January, the Switch 2 is bigger and better, bringing upgrades to the original Switch in every department. The Nintendo Switch 2 features a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen that suppo...

Study Identifies Plasma Formation as a Pseudostreamer
ESA’s Solar Orbiter recorded a giant plasma structure extending millions of kilometres from the Sun’s surface. The footage, taken on October 12, 2022, shows a swirling motion in the solar wind, a phenomenon never observed before. Scientists identified the formation as a pseudostreamer caused by a solar flare near the Sun’s north pole. The pla...

James Webb Telescope Captures Neptune’s Auroras in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has provided the first-ever direct images of Neptune’s auroras, revealing surprising details about the ice giant’s atmosphere. Unlike auroras on Earth, Jupiter, or Saturn, Neptune’s auroras appear across unexpected locations due to its tilted and offset magnetic field. Scientists also detected the presence of H...
