Scientists Call for Better Protection of the Moon from Development
Scientists are calling for the protection of the moon from development to safeguard its valuable sites for scientific study. The lunar surface’s most precious sites for scientific study are under threat from mining, satellites, and bases, as a groundswell of pending projects are on the horizon. With a limited number of desirable lunar sites, researchers argue for the protection of these extraordinary scientific important sites (SESIs) in order to preserve their scientific importance.
Carl Sagan’s Cryptic Message for Future Mars Astronauts
Astronomer Carl Sagan left a cryptic message for future humans on Mars before his death in 1996. The message, pondering the reasons for human presence on Mars, was sent to the Red Planet aboard NASA’s Phoenix lander and arrived in 2008. Sagan’s message serves as a reminder of humanity’s enduring fascination with Mars and ongoing efforts to explore and understand the mysteries of the Red Planet.
Astronomers Discover Brightest and Most Voracious Black Hole Ever Detected
The discovery of the brightest and most voracious black hole ever detected, known as J0529-4351, has left astronomers in awe. This remarkable finding was confirmed through observations by the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Scientists revealed that the black hole devours the mass equivalent to one Sun every day, highlighting its insatiable appetite. J0529-4351, although recorded in data many years ago, has only recently been recognized for its true glory. Quasars like J0529-4351 are the energetic cores of galaxies powered by immense black holes, known as Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). The quasar’s emission, which took 12 billion years to reach the detectors at the VLT, is over 500 trillion times more luminous than the Sun, making it an astonishing discovery in the field of astronomy.
