For the first time, scientists have filmed high-speed video of a phenomenon where trees emit an electrical glow by generating sparks during thunderstorms. The results of a study published in Geophysical Research Letters show that the trees’ branches can emit faint blue light known as corona discharge, thanks to sensors and cameras deployed in the…
Astronomers have spotted something unusual in a comet passing through our Solar System. 3I/ATLAS, only the third confirmed interstellar visitor ever seen, appears to be stuffed with methanol, an alcohol you might find in a lab, not your drink. Using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, researchers reportedly measured methanol at levels far…
When, during the International Space Station (ISS) mission, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore stretched from eight days to over nine months, a critical question emerged at that time: why did NASA lack a dedicated emergency rescue plan?
