Dry ice flows closer to 100 times quicker than water ice in the thin atmospheres of Mars, according to recent research conducted on the planet’s high-altitude slopes.  According to the researchers, carbon dioxide glaciers in the south polar area of Mars were used to confirm this process, and modelling implies that this migration has been occurring for the last 600,000 years.  Observations like this have ramifications for our understanding of ice development across the universe. Earth, Mars, and Pluto have all been confirmed as having fast-flowing ice, but the non-profit Planetary Science Institute in Arizona believes the number of confirmed…

Hindu marriage and inheritance laws should be replaced with a single civil code, according to the chief minister of Assam on Sunday, criticizing regulations that enable Muslim men to have four wives and other religious restrictions. In order to avoid upsetting India’s Hindu majority, as well as its Muslim and Christian minorities, successive administrations have refrained from implementing such a code of conduct since its inception.

In a new study, researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have discovered an alternate explanation for the unexplained gamma-ray signal emanating from the core of the galaxy, which has long been suspected to be a hallmark of dark matter in the universe. Gamma rays are a kind of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength and the greatest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. Professor Roland Crocker, a co-author of the study, believes that this particular gamma-ray signal — known as the Galactic Center Excess — may be the result of a specific type of rapidly rotating neutral…

Several water deposits on the moon, which have been discovered by scientists, may have had their start in our planet’s atmosphere. According to new research, an estimated amount of water equivalent to a lake’s worth of water that evaporated from Earth’s atmosphere millions of years ago may be spread under the moon’s surface as liquid deposits or buried in permafrost, according to new research. This earthly water may cover up to 840 cubic miles (3,500 cubic kilometers) in the moon’s polar regions, which is almost equal to the amount of Lake Huron in North America, which is the world’s eighth-largest…

Asteroid rock collection is rocket science; transporting the boulders to a laboratory is another issue entirely. Take, for example, Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission, that commenced in 2014 with the goal of capturing samples from a near-Earth asteroid named Ryugu and returning them to Earth in December 2020. However, even though the space stones arrived in Japan, the journey was far from ended. For one thing, NASA’s Astro materials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) facility at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Texas needed to catch another trip in order to deliver part of the asteroid material. This journey did not need the…
