    Decoding Earth's magnetic field may help scientists treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Here's how (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Life on Earth has never existed without the shelter of the planet's magnetic field, and according to new research, that constant presence may be quietly woven into the basic biology of living organisms, with possible implications for aging and future treatments for diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Generated deep within Earth's core for at least 3.7 billion years and extending far out into space, this invisible cocoon is popularly credited with helping preserve Earth's habitability, shi

    Chance gaze at old Hubble Telescope image leads to discovery that could reveal dark matter's secrets (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    In late June 2023, on a morning train commuting to work in New York City, David Hendel was scrolling through a recent astronomy paper on his phone when a half-page image caught his eye. The image, captured a year earlier by the Hubble Space Telescope, showed UGC 9050-Dw1, a dwarf galaxy some 115 million light-years from Earth. It appeared as little more than a faint, diffuse smudge of bluish-white light that astronomers call an ultra-diffuse galaxy — a type of galaxy so sparsely populated with s

    Inside the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA's next great observatory (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    NASA is just days away from launching its next major space observatory. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to lift off Aug. 30 aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, heading for a spot roughly 930,000 miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth. Unlike the James Webb Space Telescope, which trades panoramic views for a narrow field of view to peer deeply into small, specific patches of the sky, Roman is built for scale. Its field of view is 100 times

    Is empty space really empty? This magnetic star may finally solve a 90-year-old mystery (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Empty space is not as empty as it looks. That is the takeaway of a new study examining signals from a dead star, offering what researchers say is the strongest evidence yet that extreme magnetic fields can alter the properties of a vacuum, causing seemingly empty space to act like a prism and changing how light travels through it The findings, led by Rachael Stewart, a graduate student in physics at the George Washington University, confirm a prediction of a strange effect first proposed 90 year

    India-US space ties deepen as NASA invites ISRO to join moon base program (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    NASA has formally invited India to participate in its effort to build a permanent base near the moon's south pole, adding a new dimension to the deep-space cooperation between the two countries. The invitation was extended last week at the Indian space agency ISRO's headquarters in Bengaluru during the ninth meeting of the U.S.-India Civil Space Joint Working Group. The CSJWG was established in 2005 as a mechanism for bilateral space cooperation and for addressing challenges and pursuing mutual
