Patrick Simmons+Follow174-Year-Old Physics Mystery Solved!Physicists just spotted the Transverse Thomson Effect for the first time—something scientists have been hunting since 1851! Basically, they managed to make a material heat up or cool down at right angles to an electric current, just by flipping a magnetic field. It’s a big deal for super-precise temperature control, and it took a wild combo of bismuth, antimony, and some clever science tricks to pull off. Who knew old-school physics could still surprise us? #Science #Physics #ScienceNews220Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowNASA’s Camera Survived the Sun?!NASA just flew a camera right through the sun’s corona—yep, the outer atmosphere—and it didn’t melt! The Parker Solar Probe got closer to the sun than anything before and sent back wild black-and-white videos of solar wind and particles literally dancing. Not only is this footage mesmerizing, but it could help us predict auroras and protect astronauts from space weather. Science fiction, but real! #Science #NASA #ParkerSolarProbe51Share
Tamara Jones+FollowMars Rock Sells for a Wild $5.3 Million!A chunk of Mars just sold for a jaw-dropping $5.3 million at Sotheby’s—way above the $4 million expected! This 54-pound meteorite is the biggest piece of Mars ever found on Earth and now holds the record for the priciest meteorite ever auctioned. Only 400 Martian meteorites have ever been found here, so whoever snagged this cosmic rock just scored the ultimate space flex. Imagine having a piece of Mars in your living room! #Science #MarsRock #Meteorite20Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowThis Telescope Just Broke Space RecordsRubin Observatory is making all other telescopes look like antiques. In just 10 hours, it found over 2,000 asteroids—10% of what every other telescope finds in a year! And get this: by the end of its first year, it’ll have more space data than every other observatory ever. Its camera is the size of a car and has 3,200 megapixels. Plus, you can even explore its discoveries yourself with the Skyviewer app. Space nerds, this is your moment! #Science #SpaceNews #RubinObservatory403Share
Michael Flores+FollowGreenland Sled Dogs Just Changed HistoryTurns out, Greenland’s sled dogs (qimmit) have been keeping secrets for over a thousand years! New DNA research shows these pups split from their ancestors way before the Vikings showed up—like, over 1,100 years ago. Even wilder? Their closest dog relatives are ancient Alaskan sled dogs, not modern huskies. Basically, these dogs just rewrote what we thought we knew about when and how people settled Greenland. Who knew our furry friends could be history’s best storytellers? #Science #GreenlandDogs #HistoryRewrite321Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowAncient Spiral Galaxy Shocks ScientistsAstronomers just spotted a massive spiral galaxy, Zhúlóng, that looks like the Milky Way—but it’s 12.5 billion years old! This thing already had sweeping arms and a dense core when the universe was just a baby. The kicker? Galaxies this organized weren’t supposed to exist so early. Now scientists are scrambling to rethink how quickly cosmic order can emerge. Turns out, the universe may have gotten its act together way faster than anyone thought! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #JamesWebb1218Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowEarth’s Hidden 'Fortresses' Are Massive!Scientists just found gigantic 'fortresses' lurking 1,800 miles beneath our feet—think continent-sized blobs of hot, ancient rock under Africa and the Pacific. These monsters, called LLSVPs, are older and tougher than anything around them and might be behind volcanic hotspots like Hawaii and even past mass extinctions! Basically, the stuff deep inside Earth is way wilder than we thought, and it could be shaping the surface in ways we’re only starting to understand. #Science #EarthScience #Geology80Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowCERN Just Got Us Closer to the Big Bang MysteryScientists at CERN just found a tiny but crucial difference in how matter and antimatter particles called baryons decay—about 5% more often for matter! This is the first time they've spotted this in the particles that make up most of the universe. It could help explain why we exist at all, instead of being wiped out by antimatter after the big bang. Imagine: a real clue to why there’s something instead of nothing! #Science #CERN #ScienceNews5814Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowLake Michigan’s Hidden Crater MysteryScientists just found 40 massive craters chilling at the bottom of Lake Michigan, and nobody saw this coming! These aren’t tiny dents—some are up to 1,000 feet wide and 40 feet deep. The wild part? Experts aren’t sure if they’re ancient sinkholes or something else entirely. The sonar images look unreal, and now everyone’s buzzing about what secrets might be hiding down there. Imagine what else could be lurking under the lake! #Science #LakeMichigan #ScienceMystery00Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowThis Microbe Breaks All the RulesScientists just found a wild new organism that’s basically the lovechild of a virus and a cell. Meet Sukunaarchaeum mirabile: it hijacks its host like a virus but still has the tools to make its own proteins. Its genome is so tiny, it’s breaking records—and it’s got experts rethinking what even counts as ‘life.’ Could there be more weird life forms out there? This discovery is seriously blurring the lines! #Science #ScienceNews #WeirdBiology30Share
