Juno seeks to catch lightning live on Jupiter

in this view from a vortex near Jupiter's north poleNASA's Juno mission demonstrated the afterglow of lightning. On Earth, lightning strikes originate from water clouds and occur most often near the equatorwhile on Jupiter lightning is likely to also occur in clouds containing a solution of ammonia and water, and can be seen more frequently near the poles. Related news In the coming months, Juno's orbits will repeatedly carry it near jupiter as the spacecraft passes over the night side of the giant planet, providing even more opportunities for the instrument suite to Juno scientists catch lightning in the actreports…

A failure in the ignition of the engines forces to cancel the launch of the Miura 1

A failure in the ignition of the engines forces to cancel the launch of the Miura 1

If the first attempt to send the first english satellite to space had to be postponed because of the wind, a technical problem forced to abort this Saturday the second attempt to launch the miura 1. Although he managed to reach the countdown and complete it, nothing happened at the El Arenisillo (Huelva) space base after the ignition command. The rocket did not take off from the launch pad and, at the same time, some flames came out from the bottom. All this, fruit of a failure during engine ignition for causes that are responsible for PLD spacethe Alicante company…

The link between climate change and the loss of marine sponges

The link between climate change and the loss of marine sponges

When a tropical marine sponge is exposed to warmer temperaturesit loses an important microbe, which could explain why the sponge's tissue dies. The study, published in ISME Communications by researchers from UNSW (University of New South Wales), has revealed that by exposing marine sponges to a temperature rise of 3 °C, an essential microbe leaves the sponge, potentially causing tissue poisoning. climate change Research has added a important piece to the puzzle on the impact of climate change in sponge populations around the world. "We have already seen that the Marine heat waves kill sponges in the Mediterranean and emerge…

Marine reptiles were decapitated by their predators during the age of the dinosaurs

marine reptiles long-necked were beheaded by their predators during the age of the dinosaurs, as revealed by a study by paleontologists from the Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History (SMNS) and the Miquel Crusafont Catalan Institute of Paleontology (ICP). In a statement, both institutions have reported that the research, published this Monday in the journal "Current Biology", has described the first evidence fossil of deadly attacks by predators targeting the long-necked marine reptile of the Triassic Tanystropheus, despite the fact that "finding evidence of predator-prey interactions in the fossil record is very rare." "For more than 200 years, paleontologists have…
