Gold, global equities, largecaps, midcaps and smallcaps: Samco CEO Jimet Modi’s five-way portfolio formulaWith India’s stock market caught between expensive mid- and smallcaps and largecaps that lack strong growth drivers, Samco Securities found...- Fastest known star races around Milky Way’s black hole at 15,900 miles per second; how its orbit could reveal cosmic secretsThe discovery of the star S301 near Sagittarius A* offers unique insights into black hole properties. S301 travels at remarkable speeds, co...
- In 2019, one rockstar helped NASA study asteroid Bennu – his 3D images revealed a dangerous rubble-filled world. A look at Queen's Brian May's amazing educational qualificationsQueen's guitarist Brain May is also an astrophycist and an avid animal and tree rescuer. He played an important role in NASA’s OSIRIS-REx m...
- One of astronomy’s oldest suspected planetary systems has just undergone its most sensitive search yet and the biggest planets scientists might have expected to find are not thereAstronomers have conducted one of the most detailed searches yet for planets around 70 Ophiuchi AB, a binary system roughly 16 light-years ...
- The Great Southern Comet came within 446,000 miles of the Sun — scientists explain how close an object can get and surviveAstronomical objects can approach the Sun, with some comets and asteroids traveling remarkably close and surviving. Mercury, despite being ...
- This atomic clock is so precise it can detect how gravity changes time. Scientists now want to take it outside the lab and measure tiny shifts across EarthResearchers at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies have developed a highly accurate lutetium-based atomic clock. This clock has a r...
- A black hole destroys a star, then fires off a powerful jet years later — scientists discover the 'burping' feeding pattern behind these cosmic outburstsScientists have found a new trend in black hole feeding patterns. Powerful jets emerge during two distinct phases of a black hole's feeding...
- Scientists made gravity act on an atom in a quantum superposition — the surprising result could bring Einstein’s theory and quantum physics closer togetherPhysicists have directly linked quantum mechanics and Einstein's gravity theory. An experiment used ultracold atoms in quantum superpositio...
- Science says black holes don’t actually suck everything around them: Here’s what really happensBlack Holes are called black because light cannot escape from inside their event horizons. Astronomers nevertheless detect black holes indi...
- Scientists finally observe a strange effect predicted by Einstein in a falling quantum object — what it means for the future of physicsPhysicists observed a quantum state change in ultracold atoms. This change matched Einstein's equivalence principle for a freely falling ob...
- Dark Matter detected: Scientists may have solved Universe’s biggest mystery as possible dark matter signal found deep underground in a South Dakota gold mineDark Matter found: Scientists conducting the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment deep underground in South Dakota have detected a rare particle interacti...
- NASA sent 3 aluminum LEGO figures on a 1.7 billion mile journey; by 2016, the figurines of 2 Roman gods and 1 famous scientist had become the fastest and farthest-traveling toys in history. Still orbiting Jupiter, they now face a fiery fateNASA's ambitious Juno mission made history by sending three aluminum LEGO figures to Jupiter, marking them as the fastest LEGO items ever c...
- SpaceX launch today: Record-breaking Falcon 9 mission set to kick off busy Space Coast scheduleFlorida's Space Coast is preparing for a busy launch schedule. SpaceX will launch Starlink satellites using a reusable Falcon 9 rocket. NAS...
- Key Largo used a sealed underwater habitat 22 feet below the surface to test prolonged human immersion; the result revealed a startling effect as a professor emerged after 100 days with his spine compressed and his height reduced by half an inchJoseph Dituri spent 100 days underwater in a 100-square-foot habitat near Key Largo, Florida. The extreme experiment changed more than his ...
- In 1961, a UCLA graduate student at JPL discovered how spacecraft could borrow speed from planetary gravity. Decades later, his gravity-assist technique produced a fuel-saving breakthrough that transformed deep-space explorationIn 1961, UCLA graduate student Michael Minovitch found a smarter way to move spacecraft through space. At JPL, he studied planetary gravity...
- Starting 1996, surprising planetary system had close encounters with NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, recent study claims it may resemble Earth in certain qualitiesNearly three decades after Galileo first revealed Ganymede's intrinsic magnetic field, the giant moon of Jupiter remains one of the Solar S...
- Researchers finally found evidence from a region in Space where nothing is supposed to escapeA historic black hole discovery is changing how scientists explore the universe. Researchers have detected possible fingerprints of a black...
- For the first time, researchers reached a region near a Black Hole once beyond studyA powerful black hole collision has opened a new chapter in space science. Scientists used the loudest gravitational wave signal ever detec...
- The Star Wars “Tatooine” Problem: Why Double-Sun Planets Are So RareWhile binary stars are common, planets orbiting two suns, like Tatooine, are rare. Complex gravitational forces in these systems hinder pla...
