Since the existence of water-ice at the Martian poles was confirmed, experts have been thinking of ways of exploiting this resource for space exploration. Now, it would seem that this no longer needs astronauts to land at the planet's poles, as water-ice was discovered closer to the equator as well.Until now, th... |

A team of astronomers announced a new theory seeking to explain the interesting equatorial ridge that sets the Saturnine moon Iapetus apart from the crow. Speaking at a conference yesterday, December 15, experts said that an impact with a mini-moon around the space body may have been responsible. In all fairness, Ia... |

A group of engineers from the Advanced Space Concepts Laboratory (ASCL) at the University of Strathclyde were recently able to demonstrate that displaced orbits are possible. Hypothesized more than 25 years ago, this peculiar family of orbits was calculated as possible, but thought impossible by the international sci... |

For many years, a part of the international scientific community has been arguing that, at one point in time, the extent of sea-based ice caps must have reached all the way to the Equator. As more studies on this were conducted, they even managed to establish a time line of sorts, but failed to pinpoint the exact dat... |

For quite some time now, evolution experts have believed that animals evolve depending on their environments alone, adapting to the challenges that appear over the years, and becoming best fit to live in certain areas. But a new research comes to prove that other factors are at work in determining the speed at which ... |

In their travels around the world, to places no one had gone before, old-era naturalists were amazed to discover enormous plant species in the tropical regions, and in other exotic places, and they could not explain why this was happening. Now, researchers have managed to finally elaborate a theory that explains why ... |

The centrifugal force generated by the spin of our planet would push us to the space if another force, gravity, would lack. Because the Earth is spherical, the interaction of the both forces varies as we move further away along the terrestrial ax. The centrifugal force is minimal in the polar areas and maximal on the... |

In the Equatorial Pacific, between 90 and 91o V, and 1o 29' S, 968 km (605 mi) off western South American shore, at the same level with the Ecuador, to which it belongs, there's the the volcanic archipelago of Galapagos. It is formed by 18 greater islands (the largest being Isabella, 4290 square km, followe... |
