In 2016, NASA launched the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx towards the near-earth asteroid Bennu. The spacecraft managed to make contact in 2020, collecting samples which returned in 2023. Those samples ...

Thermal underwear is known by many names — long johns, base layers, long underwear, skivvies, or even britches (for my Southern friends). No matter what you call them, they are a staple for anyone ...

Bennu’s potential collision with Earth is a remote but unsettling possibility, according to a new study. Bennu is about 500 metres wide—taller than the Empire State Building and as wide as ...

Researchers at TU Wien and UST Beijing used simulations to understand this effect, leading to the development of a pyrochlore magnet with even better thermal stability over a wide temperature range.

and thermal radiation. The injection of aerosols and gases into the atmosphere would create long-lasting climatic disruptions. Interestingly, some ocean regions might experience temporary algae blooms ...

But wait, there’s more. A collision between asteroid Bennu and Earth would also trigger thermal radiation, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other, more long-lasting climatic effects by emitting large ...

Bennu, one of the largest asteroids, has been the subject of research and simulations in the event of an impact with our planet. Bennu is 500 meters wide and astronomers have predicted a one in ...

Asteroid as wide as 886 cans of spam may hit Earth in 2032 And now something fun for a change: Building blocks of life in Bennu asteroid samples Astronomers ... JWST's NIRCam instrument will ...

While there are plenty of budget rifle scopes, the technology behind thermal scopes used to be prohibitively expensive. This made them available only to those with deep pockets and big budgets ...

Bennu was the target for NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid ... "Beyond immediate effects such as thermal radiation, earthquakes, and tsunamis, asteroid impacts would have long-lasting climatic effects ...

Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth ... the impact of the collision would cause earthquakes, wildfires and thermal radiation. It would also leave a large crater and eject debris ...
