Scientists have confirmed that time passes faster on the moon than on Earth, which has implications for future space missions. Because the Moon’s gravity is one-sixth that of Earth’s, this affects the speed at which time moves. NASA scientists have determined that time passes 57 millionths of a second faster on the moon than on … Read more

One of the major questions that has occupied Earth scientists over the past decade is, “What’s going on down there?” Beneath your feet, some 3,400 miles deep, lies the Earth’s inner core. It’s nearly the size of the moon, as hot as the surface of the sun, and helps maintain the planet’s magnetic field, which … Read more
NASA scientists have just identified mysterious shapes flying above Earth. But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean aliens are about to strike. Using an imaging instrument called Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD), the experts discovered strange X and C shapes, appearing at surprising times in the most surprising places. The researchers found that … Read more
