BREAKING: Scientists just Found 300 billion tons of Water on The Moon

We know there's water on the Moon, but questions remain about how it got there, where it's stored, and how it moves around. In a new study, scientists from China have identified tiny glass beads in the lunar soil as potential places where water could hide. And we're talking about a lot of water too, perhaps as much as 270 trillion kilograms (297.6 billion tons) of the stuff. The new findings are based on samples brought back from China's Chang'e 5 rover mission. The spacecraft spent a couple of weeks collecting material from the lunar surface in December 2020, and we've already seen exciting new discoveries from subsequent analysis. Impact glass beads under analysis. (He et al, Nature Geoscience, 2023) Microscopic glass beads typically form as bits of space rock smack into another object's surface, vaporizing minerals which can cool into vitreous particles barely a few tens or hundreds of micrometers across. Past studies on beads found in Apollo lunar sample

Astronomers Find A Potential 'Major Planet' Orbiting A Dead Star That Can Support Life For At Least 1 Billion Years Into The Future

It turns out that stars like our sun do not have to be alive and strong in order to support life on planets orbiting them. Scientists discovered a possible "major planet" circling a fading sun that might host life for future generations. The "surprising" discovery was made by researchers from University College London while watching a white dwarf, the burning remnants of a star that ran out of hydrogen fuel. It is about 117 light-years away from us. This star, known as WD1054-226, has a ring of planetary rubble in its orbital habitable zone, also known as the Goldilocks zone, where temperatures should enable the planet to have liquid water on its surface. If the newfound planet is proved to be a life-sustaining world, it will be the first time a life-sustaining planet has been identified around a dying sun. Scientists made the discovery while monitoring the light from the white dwarf and reported their results in the Royal Astronomical Society's Monthly Notices

Scientists believe they have discovered a portal to the Fifth Dimension

In a new study, scientists say that a particle that links to a fifth dimension can explain dark matter. (The previous article has been updated.) The “ warped extra dimension ” (WED) is a trademark of a popular physics model that was first introduced in 1999. This research, which was published in The European Physical Journal C, is the first to use the theory to explain the long-standing dark matter problem in particle physics. The idea of dark matter, which makes up most of the matter in the universe, is the basis for what we know about how the universe works. Dark matter is like a pinch-hitter that helps scientists figure out how gravity works. Without a “ x factor ” of dark matter, many things would dissolve or fall apart. Even so, dark matter doesn’t change the particles we can see and “ feel ,” so it must have other special qualities as well. “[T]here are still some questions which do not have an answer within the [standard model of physics],” the scientists, from Spain and Germa
