Astronomers have found something weird in our galaxy. A team of scientists from around the world noticed a strange object. It sends out X-rays and radio waves in a repeating cycle. This happens every 44 minutes during intense activity. The object is 15, 000 light-years away. A light-year is 5. 8 tri
The brain's activity can change based on the type of sport a person engages in. This is a fact. However, it is not clear if these changes are the same across different sports. Also, it is not known how the length of time someone trains affects these changes. A recent study used a special
A unique light display lit up the night sky over several U. S. states recently. This event was not a natural phenomenon but the result of a Chinese rocket releasing experimental fuel. The rocket, named Zhuque-2E, launched from northwest China and deployed six satellites. After completing its mission
Endurance sports enthusiasts who have been active for a long time might face a higher chance of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). This condition is linked to changes in the left atrium of the heart, including the buildup of scar tissue, known as fibrosis. A recent study looked into these changes
Predicting space weather is tricky. Unlike Earth weather, it doesn't get as much attention, even though the risks are high. Scientists can spot solar storms and estimate when they'll reach Earth, but there's a big unknown. The magnetic field of a storm, known as the Bz component, can't be predicted
On May 17, a stunning light show unfolded over the U. S. skies. It was a mix of natural and man-made wonders. First, a geomagnetic storm painted the night with vibrant auroras. Then, a puzzling white streak appeared, leaving many scratching their heads. The auroras were a result of solar activi
The Moon's magnetic field is almost nonexistent, unlike Earth's. This difference could have big effects on plants, especially when it comes to growing food on the Moon. Researchers decided to look into how this weak magnetic field affects wheat seedlings, a key crop for future space farming. They s
Heart failure is a serious condition that affects many people. In some cases, a treatment called cardiac resynchronization therapy is used. This therapy helps the heart beat in a more coordinated way. However, it does not work for everyone. About 30% to 40% of patients do not see any benefits from i
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition that affects many people. It puts patients at a higher risk of encephalopathy, a brain disorder. This risk increases when other chronic diseases are present. One such disease is hypertension, or high blood pressure. Hypertension is known to cause b
Magnetars are the universe's strongest magnets. They are born from the explosive deaths of massive stars. These neutron stars are incredibly dense, packing more mass than our sun into a sphere just a dozen miles wide. Their magnetic fields are a thousand times stronger than typical neutron stars and
