A team of astronomers led by researchers at the University of Southampton has uncovered the largest cosmic explosion ever witnessed. The explosion is more than ten times brighter than any known supernova. The research is published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The explosion, known as AT2021lwx, has so far lasted for more than three years, compared to most supernovae which are only visibly bright for a few months. It took place nearly 8 billion light years ago, when the universe was around 6 billion years old, and is located in the constellation Vulpecula. AT2021lwx was first detected in…

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has enabled another long-sought scientific breakthrough, this time for Solar System scientists studying the origins of the water that has made life on Earth possible. Using Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument, astronomers have confirmed gas – specifically water vapour – around a comet in the main asteroid belt for the first time, proving that water from the primordial Solar System can be preserved as ice in that region. However, the successful detection of water comes with a new puzzle: unlike other comets, Comet 238P/Read had no detectable carbon dioxide. NIRCam image of Comet 238P/Read (annotated) “Our water-soaked…

Researchers came across a baffling mystery on December 5, 1872. The Mary Celeste ship was found abandoned near the Azores Islands, and experts are still uncertain as to what happened to the ship’s crew. The Canadian brig Dei Gratia spotted what appeared to be an abandoned ship wandering in the Atlantic Ocean between Portugal and the Azores Islands. The sailing ship was the American brigantine Mary Celeste, which had left New York nearly a month earlier.The interesting part is that when the team of the Dei Gratia hopped aboard the Mary Celeste, they were surprised to see that everything was…

Albert K. Bender, born in 1921, was a UFO researcher who played a significant role in the early days of the UFO phenomenon. He was known for his groundbreaking research and his work with the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB). He was also the editor of its publication, the Space Review. However, Bender’s story takes a dark turn when he claimed to have been tortured by mysterious “Men in Black” (MIB) after he announced his intention to publish a book about his research. Albert K. Bender Albert K. Bender became obsessed with his research and founded the IFSB in 1952…

Mysterious engravings on rocks and caves always lead to baffling questions and turn out to be really brainstorming. Were the ancient humans really in touch with the extraterrestrials or some advanced human civilization? Whenever researchers come across paintings of strange humanoids, all we can do is ponder upon the thought that what exactly did the ancient humans witness. Did they see an advanced civilization from other planets? Did they see the “ancient astronauts” descending to Earth? Tassili Rock Paintings In this write-up, we will speak of Tassili n’Ajjer, which is a group of red and black rocks located in the…

It’s a question that players everywhere will likely be asked for the next 10+ years: Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland. The two players appear to be football’s next superstar duo, following in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Photo by Declan Lloyd – Manchester City/Manchester City FC via Getty Images For many, Mbappe is the best player in the world. Or at least, he has been over the past couple of years or so. The Frenchman recently scored a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina, and is already PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer at the age…

A colour-exaggerated view of Saturn backlit by the sun. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute Saturn’s rings are one of the jewels of the solar system, but it seems that their time is short and their existence fleeting. A new study suggests the rings are between 400 million and 100 million years old—a fraction of the age of the solar system. This means we are just lucky to be living in an age when the giant planet has its magnificent rings. Research also reveals that they could be gone in another 100 million years. The rings were first observed in 1610 by the…

Lionel Messi has spent two seasons as a cornerstone of Paris Saint-Germain’s first team since joining from Barcelona in 2021. Have the capital club been better with or without him in the side since? Messi stunned world football when he joined PSG on a free transfer from Barca the summer before last, reuniting with Neymar Jr. and forming an incredible front three with the Brazilian and Kylian Mbappé. Since arriving, Messi has racked up 31 goals and 34 assists from 72 games in all competitions and is on the cusp of a second consecutive Ligue 1 Uber Eats title having…

A serious discussion point on five-a-side pitches and barstools across the world, the issue of which player is the greatest of all time persists Cristiano Ronaldo versus Lionel Messi – who is the GOAT? It is the biggest conundrum in football since the ‘Diego Maradona or Pele?’ debate. The question of who is better between the Portuguese phenomenon and the empyrean Argentine has dominated the minds of football fans everywhere for the past decade and will persist into the future. Club and national loyalties can cloud judgement on the matter, while personalities also play a part in how good a player is perceived to be, and most…

Slope Point, the southernmost point of the South Island of New Zealand, is a truly unique place. Due to the strong Antarctic winds, the trees here stretch sideways rather than upwards. Image credit: Seabird NZ At Slope Point, which lies approximately 24 kms from the small settlement of Waikawa, cold air whirls around the Antarctic Ocean uninterrupted, making the winds so fierce when they smash themselves onto this exposed coastal area that the trees here are perpetually warped and grow in an almost horizontal manner, reminiscent of a weird hairdo. These tough, enduring shrubs were planted here by sheep farmers…

The island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean has a unique plant life that makes you feel like you’re walking on another planet. Dragon’s Blood Tree, Socotra Island.

While icebergs may seem like gentle giants, they can release a devastating force during the rare occasion of them flipping over. And while undeniably, this reveals their incredibly beautiful underside, it also causes tsunamis, earthquakes, and it can even devour nearby vessels. But what does exactly make these towering mountains of ice flip over in the first place? To understand this process, we have to know what icebergs are exactly. The picture was taken an hour after this iceberg has flipped. Image credits: Chris Feichtner According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an iceberg is a huge piece of…

Reflections of the sky on Salar de Uyuni. Source When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their historic walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969, one of the first things they saw when looking earthward was an immense white spot, which they first believed to be ice. However, it turned out that what they saw was a giant, mirror-like salt sheet in southwest Bolivia’s Altiplano called Salar De Uyuni. Salar de Uyuni viewed from space, with Salar de Coipasa in the top left corner. Source With a surface of 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq mi), Salar De Uyuni is…
