Jupiter’s moon Ganymede has an ancient impact structure called a furrow system. This system is the largest impact structure in the outer Solar System, and the impact should have significantly affected Ganymede’s early history. Distribution of furrows and location of the center of the furrow system shown in the hemisphere that always faces away from

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured an amazing photo of the lens-shaped spiral galaxy IC 4709. IC 4709’s swirling disk filled with stars and dust bands is beautifully captured by Hubble, as is the faint halo surrounding it. The color image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys

A team of researchers from Finland and Norway has identified two potential antivirulence compounds for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infections among bacterial metabolites harvested from strains of marine actinobacteria Kocuria and Rhodococcus from the Arctic Sea. The T091-5 strain of the genus Rhodococcus. Image credit: Pylkkö et al., doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1432475. “We show how advanced screening

Recent respiratory outbreaks have garnered substantial attention, yet most respiratory monitoring remains confined to physical signals. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) harbors rich molecular information that could unveil diverse insights into an individual’s health. Now, Caltech’s Professor Wei Gao and colleagues have developed the EBCare, a mask-based device for real-time monitoring of EBC biomarkers. For example

Archaeologists have discovered an ancient submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave on Mallorca, the main island of the Balearic Archipelago and the sixth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. The discovery suggests that humans settled the western Mediterranean much earlier than previously believed. The 5,600-year-old submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave, Mallorca, Spain.

Paleontologists have added another species to the Cretaceous-period dinosaur fauna of Europe, and this one was found in Normandy, France. An abelisaurid tooth associated with the holotype specimen of Caletodraco cottardi. Image credit: Buffetaut et al., doi: 10.3390/fossils2030009. Caletodraco cottardi lived in what is now France durign the Cenomanian age of the Early Cretaceous epoch

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured this spectacular image of the Pegasus dwarf spheroidal galaxy, a satellite of the Andromeda galaxy. The Pegasus dwarf spheroidal galaxy resides around 959,000 light-years away from the Andromeda Galaxy. Image credit: NASA / ESA / D.

Astrophysicists with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration have conducted test observations achieving the highest resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting light from the centers of distant galaxies at a frequency of around 345 GHz. When combined with existing images of supermassive black holes at the hearts of Messier 87
