A lack of solar particles from the Sun is a sign the solar minimum is here, and it is allowing more cosmic particles - particles from deep space - to penetrate Earth. During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots. Less heat in...

The SpaceX Starhopper could be about to attempt its biggest-ever test hop yet. Starhopper is an early test prototype of SpaceX’s Starship reusable space rocket. When built, Starship will be the most powerful rocket ever built, capable of carrying humans to the Moon, Mars – and beyond.SpaceX hope Starhopper will...

Scientists believe man-made climate change might make parts of the world uninhabitable by the end of the century as carbon omissions continue to heat up the globe. However, some experts believe the solar minimum – a prolonged period of lower activity from the sun – could help to negate the...

Yesterday’s magnitude 6.4 Independence Day earthquake shocked those living in Southern California. Fortunately, the earthquake, with its epicentre 125 miles (201km) northeast of Los Angeles, is thought to have caused no deaths or serious damage. However the earthquake inevitably rekindled fears the area, sitting on top of the notorious San...

Bioarchaeology Professor Jacqui Mulville also claimed other bones have already been lost to the sea after coastal erosion at Cwm Nash, the site where previous remains have been found dating from the 16th century. Professor Mulville said: “Our latest thinking is that these are Tudor or Stuart men who may...

The Discovery Expedition was the first official British operation to the Antarctic regions since the voyage of James Clark Ross 60 years earlier. Organised on a large scale under a joint committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society, the new expedition carried out scientific research of an untouched...

As the ice melts, the dark ocean surface absorbs 90 percent of the sunlight making global systems warmer. The decrease in the ice not only affects the polar ecosystem but also penguins, whales, seals and additional marine life, CNN reported. Antartica’s sea ice has been steadily increasing while the Arctic...

The Sun has now entered a period of low activity associated with collapsing temperatures and the change could last for a decade or more. Astronomers say the Sun has now gone 15 consecutive days without sunspots, a sign there has been a drop in activity. It also means there has...

Scientists had long been stumped over the 11 year cycle of the Sun which goes through periods of higher and lesser activity. These roughly 11 year spells are called the solar minimum and solar maximum. During a solar maximum, the Sun gives off more heat and is littered with sunspots....

A small asteroid shot towards Earth at 14.9 kilometres per hour, and NASA admitted it did not know it was coming. The space rock known as 2019 MO was just three metres wide and exploded when it hit the planet’s atmosphere on 22 July above the Caribbean, but the way...

A decade ago, scientists noticed an all-time high in cosmic rays – rays which originate from deep space, not to be confused with solar rays which come from the Sun. Now, scientists have noticed cosmic rays are back on the up as the Sun goes deeper into a solar minimum....

Sunspots have now not been present for 79 days – or 55 percent – of the year so far, which scientists state is a major sign that the long awaited solar minimum has arrived. The sun follows cycles of roughly 11 years where it reaches a solar maximum and before...

Natalie Starkey is a cosmochemist concerned about protecting Earth for future generations and is the author behind 2018 book “Catching Stardust”. Within the text, Dr Starkey discusses how asteroids – the millions of small rocky bodies that lurk within the inner Solar System – could one-day end life on Earth. NASA is constantly scanning the cosmos and...
