A study shows us that terrestrial giant tortoises have a good memory and, incidentally, that they are able to be trained. Little is known about giant ground turtles, with most studies focusing on marine turtles. We simply know that they can live for a very long time (over 100 years), that they are solitary and […]

According to new findings, a significant fraction of the mass loss of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is due to the thinning of the ice shelves surrounding the continent. An effect mainly related to the warming of the ocean. This is the first time that a study quantifies the importance of this phenomenon. The results were […]

On the eve and at the opening of the COP25, AntónioGuterres – the Secretary-General of the UN – did not go to extremes. Indeed, he strongly denounced the insufficiency of the actions carried out so far to limit global warming. And this despite the commitments made in Paris in 2015 at the COP21. During his […]

A team of researchers is proposing to equip some marine species with measuring instruments to study the unexplored regions of the oceans. It’s a fact, we know today more about the Universe than about our own oceans. The latter, which cover about 70% of the entire earth’s surface, yet have much more direct impact on […]

A NASA satellite orbiting the moon eventually found the impact site of the Indian probe Vikram, which crashed on September 7 while attempting to alun. The Goddard Center of the US Space Agency published Monday photographs taken in October and November, where NASA scientists have managed, after analysis, to distinguish small traces of impact and […]

A team of astronomers announces they have discovered three supermassive black holes concentrated in a small space in the center of a galaxy. It’s a first. It is believed that at the center of all large galaxies is a black hole millions of times more massive than the Sun. When two of these galaxies collide […]

A team of researchers has drawn up the first complete geological map of Titan, the moon of Saturn. A topology that strangely resembles that of our planet. It was in the late 1970s and early 80s that we could take a first look at the moon of Saturn, thanks to the probe Pioneer 11. The […]

On Mars, the data collected by the Curiosity rover show for some years irregular variations in oxygen levels. For the moment, the researchers have no explanation. On Mars since 2012, NASA’s Curiosity rover evolves in the Gale crater. One of his instruments, a spectrometer called SAM, aims to inspect the surrounding air in order to […]

SpaceX has launched 60 new satellites around the Earth as part of its Starlink project. The company also signed a new record, with a fourth launch for the same rocket. Nowadays to have Internet, we depend on cables buried under ground (or under the ocean) and towers of telephony. Which means that everyone does not […]

The United States wants to find a way to stop relying on Russia for manned flights to the ISS. However, it will obviously wait a while longer because NASA has placed a new order for Soyuz capsules in Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency! SpaceX and Boeing late Recently, we mentioned that NASA paid a lot […]
