Although this global ocean below the Earth’s surface may freeze over time, its remnants may still exist under the large impact craters on Ceres. Despite the low temperature, the presence of salt may retain the liquid as salt water. Between 2011 and 2018, NASA’s Dawn mission traveled 4.3 billion miles to reach the two largest objects in the solar system’s …

For years, scientists have been trying to track the extremely rare “boomerang” earthquake. Now, they have recorded a record in the ocean for the first time, and it is stranger than they expected. An earthquake is the result of a rock breaking on a fault, which is the boundary between two plates. Scientists say that “boomerang” earthquakes are also called …

Researchers discovered that the dwarf Ceres has an “old ocean” of salt water, which means that the space object may still be geologically active. Using data from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, seven research papers were published in the scientific journals “Nature Communications”, “Nature Earth Science” and “Nature Astronomy” on Monday, these papers focused on Ceres’ “cc shrinking crater” Scientists believe that …

Image source: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center In the past decade, NASA scientists have fired laser beams on a paperback novel-sized reflector about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) from the Earth dozens of times. They announced today in collaboration with their French colleagues that they received the signal for the first time. This is …

Canadian researchers said they found the first known case of deadly cancer in a dinosaur. The evidence comes from fossil A leg bone was discovered in Alberta, Canada in 1989. The fossil comes from a dinosaur called Centrosaurus. It is a four-legged plant. It is about 6 meters long and lived between 76 and 77 million years ago. Fossil examination …

by University of Sydney August 10, 2020 Researchers conducted experiments using IBM Quantum Experience. Credit: IBM Physicists in Australia and North America demonstrated rigorous, scalable diagnostic tools. Noise is the main obstacle to building large quantum computers. In order to tame noise (interference or instability), scientists need to understand how it affects the entire quantum system. So far, this information …
