Scientists find key building block for life on Saturn's moon
IANS -
The Cassini spacecraft, which explored Saturn and its system of rings and moons for over 13 years, from 2004 to 2017, discovered Enceladus' subsurface liquid water. They analysed samples in a plume of ice grains and gases erupting into space from cracks in the moon's icy surface.
Sermorelin Peptide and Research in Tumor Cells
Agency -
Analogous to the GHRH factor, the Sermorelin polypeptide consists of GHRH (1-29 acid)-amide. This structure is known as a GHRH factor analog. Because of the presence of this structure, Sermorelin has been the subject of studies in various scientific research subfields dealing with growth hormone deficiencies
Webb telescope finds over 700 galaxies of early universe
IANS -
Scientists led an investigation into galaxies that existed millions of years after the big bang. This was a crucial time known as the Epoch of Reionization. For hundreds of millions of years after the big bang, the universe was filled with a gaseous fog that made it opaque to energetic light. By one billion years after the big bang, the fog had cleared and the universe became transparent, a process known as reionization.
Scientists find new type of cosmic threads in Milky Way
IANS -
Now, Yusef-Zadeh and his collaborators have discovered a new population of filaments -- but these threads are much shorter and lie horizontally or radially, spreading out like spokes on a wheel from the black hole. Although the two populations of filaments share several similarities, Yusef-Zadeh assumes they have different origins.
4 of Uranus' large moons may hold water: NASA
IANS -
In all, at least 27 moons circle Uranus, with the four largest ranging from Ariel, at 1,160 kilometres across, to Titania, which is 1,580 kilometres across.The study is the first to detail the evolution of the interior makeup and structure of all five large moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, and Miranda.
Sun emits powerful solar flare, causes blackouts: NASA
IANS -
The flare, classified as X1.2, is the seventh solar flare to hit Earth this year, and was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. The strong solar flare peaked.
'Tsunami' in Venus's clouds may explain its fast-moving atmosphere
IANS -
They found that the planet's deepest clouds also propagate a tsunami which may be playing a very significant role in the acceleration of Venus's fast-moving atmosphere. The observations, by a group of scientists from the Universities of Seville and Basque Country in Spain, were carried out non-stop for more than 100 days. They detailed their findings in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.
Giant asteroid to zip past Earth closer than Moon on Saturday
IANS -
If the asteroid, known as 2023 DZ2, were to smash into Earth, it would potentially cause major damage. However, it is likely to make a clean pass speeding by at 28,044 km/h, according to EarthSky. Astronomers at the observatory of La Palma, in the Canary Islands, Spain, discovered the asteroid in late February 2023. It is estimated to be between 44 and 99 metres in diameter.
UK scientists develop 'cosmic concrete' to build houses on Mars
IANS -
Building infrastructure in space is currently prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve. But, StarCrete offers one possible solution, according to the team at the University of Manchester. They used simulated Martian soil mixed with potato starch and a pinch of salt to create he material that is twice as strong as ordinary concrete and is perfectly.
Scientists detect 1st evidence of volcanic activity on Venus
IANS -
The images revealed a volcanic vent changing shape and increasing significantly in size in less than a year. "I didn't really expect to be successful, but after about 200 hours of manually comparing the images of different Magellan orbits, I saw two images of the same region taken eight months apart exhibiting telltale geological changes caused by an eruption," said Robert Herrick, Professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, who led the search of the archival data.
