NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is healthy and speeding across the Kuiper Belt. Today, we crossed a distance marker of note, passing 60 times as far from the Sun as Earth is. Put in perspective, that means we're almost twice as far out as Pluto was when we explored it! This summer, we had three sets of groundbased astronomical observing dates, each three days long, on the giant Japanese Sub

The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs also set the stage for the evolution of fungus-farming ants, according to a new study published in the journal 'Science'. The low-light conditions that followed the impact 66 million years ago favored the spread of fungi, which thrived on the abundant organic material left by dying plants and animals. This created an opportunity for an anc

There's more to thunderclouds than rain and lightning. Along with visible light emissions, thunderclouds can produce intense bursts of gamma rays, the most energetic form of light, that last for millionths of a second. The clouds can also glow steadily with gamma rays for seconds to minutes at a time. Researchers using NASA airborne platforms have now found a new kind of gamma-ray emission

With the increasing frequency of convective weather events due to global warming, detecting these storms early has become essential. The initial phase of such storms, known as convective initiation (CI), can be tracked using geostationary satellites. However, the current methods face challenges due to their high false alarm rates and missed events. This is mainly because the resolution of existi
