NASA’s satellite instruments are often the first to detect wildfires burning in remote regions, and the locations of new fires are sent directly to land managers worldwide within hours of the satellite overpass. NASA has a fleet of Earth-observing instruments, many of which contribute to our understanding of fire in the Earth system.
A study published on Wednesday in the Journal of Medical Virology showed that snake is the most probable wildlife animal reservoir for the novel coronavirus that had caused 17 deaths in central China's Hubei Province.
Surface water on early Mars may have been habitable for microbial life, suggests new research which found that the Red Planet's water was mineral-rich and salty. Salinity (how much salt was present), pH (a measure of how acidic the water was), and redox state (roughly a measure of the abundance of gases such as hydrogen or oxygen) are fundamental properties of natural waters.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is sending Vyomamitra, a talking lady robot, in unmanned Gaganyaan spacecraft. The Indian space agency has planned to send Vyomamitra even before orbiting astronauts on India's first manned mission to Space in December 2021.
According to the study, the tilted, triangular design was the strongest when the flaps were undamaged and untapped. The researchers said these structures were also stronger than the same design with vertical walls.
NGC 1803 was discovered in 1834 by astronomer John Herschel, NASA said. Herschel is a big name in astronomy; John, his father William and his aunt Caroline all made huge contributions to the field, and their legacies remain today.
Based on impact simulations, the scientists said if the Yarrabubba-forming meteorite collided into a continental ice sheet -- like modern day Antarctica -- it may have released between 87 trillion and 5,000 trillion kilograms of water vapour into the atmosphere instantaneously.
The two-week training is a critical aspect of the Gaganyaan project that is aimed at sending three Indians to space by 2022.
The Indian Space Research Organisation on Tuesday said it has provided "consultation" to San Diego-based chipmaker Qualcomm towards enabling NavIC capability in their Snapdragon mobile chipset platforms.
The ISRO said it has successfully completed the three orbit-raising manoeuvres of communication satellite GSAT-30 on Monday, which was launched on January 17 onboard Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana.
The core of massive dying galaxies with more than a trillion stars was formed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang -- about 1 billion years earlier than previous measurements revealed, reveal astrophysicists.
A mysterious new virus has surfaced in mainland China that has got the doctors both inside and outside the country thinking. Let's have a look at what is the new Coronavirus? Why is it becoming a serious issue all of a sudden? And, Who all are in danger of being affected by it.
Students who use digital technology excessively are less motivated to engage with their studies, and are more anxious about tests, according to a study which says the effects may be worsened by increased feelings of loneliness.
Researchers believe that a blob-looking microbe with tentacles, found deep down in Pacific Ocean mud, that may hold the secrets about how the first multicellular life-forms evolved.
Instead of habitats made of metal and glass, NASA is exploring technologies that could grow structures out of fungi to become our future homes in the stars, and perhaps lead to more sustainable ways of living on Earth as well.
Volcanic activity in India's Deccan Traps, previously thought to have contributed to the extinction of dinosaurs, did not play a role in their die-off, according to a study which suggests meteorite impact alone led to death of the ancient reptiles.
The unprecedented death of nearly one million birds between 2015 and 2016, whose remains washed ashore in Alaska, US, was brought on by a severe and long-lasting marine heat wave, a new study says.
Drinking low-fat milk is associated with less ageing in adults, according to a new study which supports existing dietary guidelines which do not recommend high-fat milk as part of a healthy diet.
