It’s anlmost officially Winter — in some areas of the world at least — and we all know what that means. Hot cider, heartwarming movies, and a timeless debate that kicks off each holiday season. For once, I’m not talking about the great Nightmare Before Christmas debate — yes, its a Christmas movie, and no, I won’t be taking questions. Instead, I’m zeroing in on an entirely different Christmas movie. A treasured staple of the season, Home Alone is on thousands of annual viewing lists, and each year it sparks the same…

The James Webb space telescope is the most impressive space telescope that humanity has created so far. But, to be able to capture the telescope’s iconic first images, NASA and the ESA had to send the telescope somewhere it could look deep into the universe without running into a lot of interference. But where exactly is James Webb located in space? Here’s what you need to know.  The James Webb space telescope is currently situated at what astronomers call the second Lagrange point or L2. From here, Webb can…

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…

Researchers have spotted traces of an organic class of molecules that are a precursor to molecules essential for life. Located in the centre of the Milky Way, these building blocks that combine to form ribonucleic acid (RNA) could help scientists understand how life emerges in the universe. It is believed that originally life was based on only RNA on Earth while deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein enzymes evolved later. RNA can perform the functions of both DNA and enzymes by storing and copying information and…
