Mars, often perceived as a bleak and largely inactive planet, is revealing new layers of complexity that challenge previous understandings of its geological nature. A recent study utilizing advanced artificial intelligence has unveiled that many marsquakes, once attributed solely to tectonic activity, are actually triggered by meteoroid impacts. This revelation not only provides a new

Neutrinos are some of the most elusive particles in the universe, capable of traversing vast distances without interacting with other matter. This characteristic makes them particularly fascinating to scientists. As elementary particles with nearly no mass and no electric charge, neutrinos are constantly streaming through our bodies. They exist in such abundance that trillions of

In late December 2024, astronomers identified a new asteroid—designated 2024 YR4. Initial observations placed its likelihood of colliding with Earth at a mere 1%. However, as more detailed measurements followed, these numbers saw an increase, with current estimates suggesting a 2.3% chance of impact on December 22, 2032. While any possibility of an asteroid strike
