Could Earth Have Had Rings Like Saturn? Study Suggests Asteroid Breakup and Cooling Climate

Image
Recent research indicates that Earth may have once had rings similar to those of Saturn. Scientists believe this ring system was created by the breakup of an asteroid around 466 million years ago. This event coincided with significant meteorite impacts around the planet's equatorial region. Researchers propose that the ring's formation might have contributed to global cooling, potentially leading to the Hirnantian Ice Age, one of the coldest periods in Earth's history. Evidence from Meteorite Impacts During this time, Earth experienced a high number of meteorite impacts. The debris from these meteorites has been found in sedimentary rocks in Europe, Russia, and China. These rocks contain meteorite fragments that were exposed to space radiation for a shorter period than typical meteorites. Additionally, multiple tsunamis during this era suggest that these events were interconnected. Patterns in Impact Craters Scientists have mapped out 21 impact craters from this perio

Earth Might Gain Another Moon Temporarily as a Small Asteroid Could Begin Orbit It, Claims Study

Image
Earth might gain another Moon, a miniature one, due to a rare phenomenon called gravitational trapping. Carlos de la Fuente Marcos and Raúl de la Fuente Marcos, researchers from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, have announced an intriguing celestial event. A small asteroid , named 2024 PT5, is set to become Earth's temporary mini-moon for approximately two months starting later this month. Their findings, published in the Research Notes of the AAS, reveal that Earth frequently captures asteroids, albeit briefly. This new mini-moon is expected to make one orbit around our planet before continuing its journey through the solar system. Details of the Asteroid 2024 PT5, a small asteroid with a diameter of about 10 metres, was first detected last month by the Asteroid Terrestrial-Impact Last Alert System. Despite initial concerns, it has been confirmed that this asteroid is not on a collision course with Earth. The researchers used current measurements of its size, speed, and traje

Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly

Image
Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is spinning in an unusual way, and scientists now believe they may know why. Based on new data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers suggest that this cosmic giant likely merged with another black hole billions of years ago. This colossal collision would explain the black hole's rapid, misaligned spin, which differs from the rest of the galaxy's orientation. The Role of Mergers in Black Hole Evolution Located 26,000 light-years from Earth, Sagittarius A* is a massive object, 4 million times the mass of the Sun. Its fast spin and odd tilt have long puzzled astronomers, but new research points to a violent past. According to a study  published in the Nature journal and led by Yihan Wang, an astrophysicist at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the black hole's strange spin is best explained by a merger with another supermassive black hole.

El Nino and Massive Volcanic Eruptions Triggered Mass Extinction of Life 250 Million Years Ago

Image
New research suggests that a powerful El Niño cycle, fuelled by a massive release of carbon dioxide, may have contributed to Earth's largest mass extinction around 250 million years ago, during the end of the Permian period. Volcanic eruptions in what is now Siberia caused enormous amounts of carbon dioxide to enter the atmosphere, resulting in drastic climate changes. These shifts led to the extinction of 90 percent of species on Earth. While past events like this are rare, they hold serious implications for today's climate crisis. Impact of Siberian Volcanic Eruptions The eruption of the Siberian Traps, a series of massive volcanic rifts, spewed vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This phenomenon caused extreme climate heating, leading to a series of long-lasting and severe El Niño events. Alex Farnsworth told Live Science, paleoclimate modeller at the University of Bristol, this period saw temperatures rise far beyond the boundaries that life had adapte

OpenAI's Stunning $150 Billion Valuation Said to Hinge on Upending Corporate Structure

Image
OpenAI's new financing round is expected to come in the form of convertible notes, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter, who said its $150 billion valuation will be contingent on whether the ChatGPT-maker can upend its corporate structure and remove a profit cap for investors. The details of the conditions of the $6.5 billion funding, which have not been previously reported, show how far OpenAI, the most valuable AI startup in the world, has come from a research-based non-profit, and the structural changes it's willing to make to attract ever more investment to fund its expensive pursuit of artificial general intelligence (AGI), or AI that surpasses human intelligence. The outsized funding round has seen strong investor demand and could be finalized in the next two weeks, given the rapid growth of OpenAI's revenue, sources added. Existing investors such as Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, as well as Microsoft are expected to participate. New invest
