TEHRAN (ANA)- Geologists discovered two new minerals at the world's largest rare-earth mine in northern China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has announced.
TEHRAN (ANA)- A new study highlights how space flight alters kidney function, showing structural changes and potential permanent damage due to microgravity and cosmic radiation and this poses risks for long-term space travel, such as missions to Mars.
TEHRAN (ANA)- A team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered that glassy materials within the lunar soil samples, which were brought back by the country's Chang'e-5 lunar exploration mission, contain hydroxyl and molecular water generated from a variety of sources.
TEHRAN (ANA)- The European Space Agency’s Mars Express has snapped the telltale traces of ‘spiders’ scattered across the southern polar region of Mars.
TEHRAN (ANA)- A thorough investigation found that the inner core of the Moon is, in fact, a solid ball with a density similar to that of iron and researchers hope this will help settle a long debate about whether the Moon's inner heart is solid or molten, and lead to a more accurate understanding of the Moon's history – and, by extension, that of the Solar System.
TEHRAN (ANA)- NASA’s Dragonfly mission, set to explore Saturn’s moon Titan, has progressed to final design and construction stages with a confirmed launch in 2028 and a budget of $3.35 billion.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Researchers studying the binary asteroid Mors-Somnus in the Kuiper Belt have used the James Webb Space Telescope to gather unique data on trans-Neptunian objects, offering new insights into the formation of Neptune and the outer solar system’s dynamics.
TEHRAN (ANA)- Using spectral imaging data of China's first solar exploration satellite, Xihe, a group of Chinese physicists constructed three-dimensional velocity diagrams of two kinds of plasmas in the sun's atmosphere.
