While scientists are looking for worlds that may be of life suitable for life, they have discovered a common type in the universe – but they are not present in our solar system.
These mysterious planets, which are larger than the Earth, are called younger than Neptune.
The April study introduced a world of such a world called K2-18B, in the spotlight. Astrologists at the University of Cambridge claimed that they discovered molecules in the atmosphere of the planet that might be biosignatures – signs of biological activity that could hint in previous or current life.
Now, other groups of astronomers looked at the same data and did not agree on the results, saying that there is more for the story.
The transformations and shifts in the ongoing conversation about Planet K2-18B show the reason for the search for evidence of Life outside the Earth is very difficult.
Moon update
A video shot posted on social media on Tuesday shows that Lunar Lander Lander Tarbing the Moon. – Ispace
In fact, stability is everything when it comes to investigating space. “The lunar endeavor” is never left is the slogan on which the high risk task is based on the moon’s landing on Thursday. But ISPace is based in Tokyo She lost contact with her car At that time it should have landed.
The flexibility spacecraft was the second width of ISPace in a soft satellite landing. The previous attempt of the company crashed with Hakuto-R Lander in the moon in April 2023.
“This is our second failure, and about these results, we have to take it seriously,” said ISPace Takeshi Hakamada. ISPace has his work, but it does not give up.
A long time ago
A new research that combines artificial intelligence and radiological dating changes the way scientists think of Dead Sea manuscripts.
Badwin took care for the first time coils in 1947 inside a cave in the Jewish desert. After that, archaeologists have regained thousands of fragments of pass, including the oldest copies of the Hebrew Bible, from 11 caves near the Khairbat Qumran site.
“They completely changed the way we think about ancient Judaism and early Christianity,” said the head of the study.
Scientists believed that approximately 1,000 manuscripts are often written on a university degree and lightning, ranging from the third century BC to the second century AD. But some manuscripts, which serve as a decisive intellectual time capsule, It can be olderThe new analysis suggests.
Ocean secrets
A submarine was lost in the era of World War I at sea off the California coast about 108 years ago, killing 19 crew members. Now, researchers from the Woods Hall Oceanic Foundation have ever seized Pictures of the depths of the seas from the debris.
Curiosity
The pandemic of the plague known as the Black Death killed at least 25 million people in Europe in the Middle Ages for five years.
The perpetrator behind this disease is a bacteria called Esresna Pastis, which led to three main plague outbreaks since the first century AD – and still exists today.
How did the plague last for centuries? Changes on one gene in bacteria created new, larger, lethal strains that have kept the alive hosts so that they could continue to spread.
The weakest strains have been extinct since then, according to a new research. But the results can result in basic evidence to help scientists manage the dominant proportions of the current bacteria From a more common variety.
Wonderful creatures
If you have ever walked through the fruit garden, you may be steps away from the serpent from the worms.
This is what researchers from the Max Planck Institute for animal behavior and the University of Constance in Germany found when they searched pear and corrupt apples.
Hundreds of microscopic worms, called nematode, ascended on top of each other to form the structures 10 times their size – until it is made a The “arm” sprain for the sensation of the environment Scientists lead to a question about what drives behavior.
“What we get was more. “It is a super -coordinated being, acting and moving as a whole.”
