Venus and Mars are best viewed now. These two planets are among the most visible celestial skywatching phenomena in June 2023. And more. Other bright planets and stars are seen. "The planets of war and love draw nearer each night, as the bright stars of Northern Hemisphere summer rise," NASA adds. Viewing Mars and Venus It's easy. They're apparent in light pollution. Clear evenings need looking up. "You can watch Mars and Venus draw closer together throughout the month in the western sky following sunset," NASA says. Mars, reddish, will appear above Venus: Venus, a hellish planet 900 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than a pizza oven, is particularly dazzling. The moon is brighter than it. It's always covered in poisonous sulfuric acid clouds that reflect sunlight into s...

In what may be one of the most incredible images ever acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope, the world's most powerful observatory has surveyed a patch of sky and discovered a galaxy-packed star factory. The image obtained as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey program depicts a portion of the GOODS-South region of the sky, which contains over 45,000 galaxies per frame. The Hubble telescope has also previously observed this region of the heavens. The JADES program will dedicate approximately 32 days of telescope time to discovering and characterizing dim, faraway galaxies as astronomers attempt to comprehend their nature. How did the first nebulae and stars originate? The researchers studied 500–850 million-year-old galaxies. "With JADES, we hope to re...

These filaments are hidden in the core of the Milky Way galaxy, a discovery made by astronomers for the first time. In the 1980s, they were discovered as a single filament hanging vertically near Sagittarius A*, the central supermassive black hole of our galaxy. The new analysis has uncovered a complete population of these filaments that radiate from the black hole like spokes on a wheel. In The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Farhad Yusef-Zadeh of Northwestern University describes the evidence for a distinct population of short filaments with PA close to the Galactic plane. "It was unexpected to discover a new population of structures that appear to be pointing toward the black hole. I was actually astonished upon seeing these. In the 1980s, Farhad Yusef-Zadeh discovered ...

After a crocodile bit his head, an Australian man survived. A saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) attacked Marcus McGowan from behind while snorkeling 25 miles (40 kilometers) off Cape York in Queensland. These reptiles have the strongest measured biting force on Earth. Before the lizard could snap harder, McGowan opened its jaws. "I was able to lever its jaws open just far enough to get my head out," McGowan said. "The crocodile then attempted to attack me a second time, but I managed to push it away with my right hand, which was then bitten by the croc." He was transported to the hospital for scalp lacerations and puncture wounds on his head and hand, minor injuries considering he faced one of the world's most fearsome predators. Strong bite Crocodile jaws are ve...

Ikon Science, a global provider of prediction and open subsurface knowledge management software and services, has launched its 4D inversion technology instrument. This investigation instrument for geophysical and well data is included in RokDoc 2023.3. As the complexity of subsurface exploration increases, there is less space for error. For exploration and production activities, quantitative interpretation algorithms must generate not only an accurate prediction of properties, but also a thorough comprehension of uncertainty. The Time-Lapse Ji-Fi app from Ikon provides comprehensive 4D fluid tracking capabilities for production and injection scenarios and is pertinent to the majority of hydrocarbon production campaigns - as well as Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) init...

The James Webb Space Telescope saw faraway galaxies produce new suns. It examined NGC 5068's dust and brilliant star cluster threads. The world's most powerful observatory saw the galaxy's brilliant star-forming regions 20 million light years distant. A mission to study star formation in neighboring galaxies included the observation. JWST can examine star formation in unparalleled detail due to its superior capabilities. The star birth has been seen in the galaxy NGC 5068 To learn how galaxies function, observations are made. NASA said star formation underlies several astronomical studies, from the mechanics of thin plasma between stars to the growth of galaxies. According to NASA, Webb collected images of 19 nearby star-forming galaxies that astronomers could combin...

Satellites in orbit are essential to the day-to-day operation of the planet, but they are also the most vulnerable, and not due to human activity. Rather, it is the Sun. As a result of increased solar activity and several geomagnetic disturbances, the Earth's atmosphere is heating up. According to a report on spaceweather.com, solar geomagnetic storms have injected several terawatts of energy into Earth's upper atmosphere, causing the temperature to rise. A geomagnetic storm is a disruption in the Earth's magnetic field brought on by the entrance of charged particles from a CME. When these particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field, they can cause a variety of electromagnetic and electrical disturbances. CMEs, or Coronal Mass Ejections, are immense explosions of plasma and m...

Falcon-9 rockets from Elon Musk's SpaceX will deliver sustenance, experiments, and science to the International Space Station (ISS). On Monday, the 28th commercial resupply mission will launch with over 3000 kilograms of cargo bound for the orbiting laboratory. The CRS-28 mission will launch at 9:17 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station. The mission was scheduled to launch on Sunday, but SpaceX delayed the launch due to strong winds in the recovery area. The 45th meteorological Squadron of the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station has predicted a 60% probability of favorable meteorological conditions for launch. WHAT is NASA launching to the International Space Station? The Dragon spacecraft aboard the Fa...

Associative polymers, which have unique self-healing and flow capabilities, may work differently at the molecular level, according to a University of Virginia study. LIHENG CAI, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and chemical engineering at UVA, led the study and said the new discovery has important implications for the countless ways these materials are used every day, from engineering recyclable plastics to human tissue engineering to controlling paint consistency so it doesn't drip. New associative polymers made by Cai's UVA School of Engineering and Applied Science postdoctoral researcher Shifeng Nian and Ph.D. student Myoeum Kim allowed the finding, which was reported in Physical Review Letters. A theory Cai co-developed before joining UVA in 2018 led t...
