Continuing the Quest for Clays

  • Perseverance rover is exploring the Krokodillen plateau in search of clay-bearing rocks on Mars to uncover clues about the planet's watery past.
  • After facing challenges in sampling and abrading the breakable clay-bearing rocks, the team decided to return to a previous abrasion site, 'Strong Island,' to attempt sampling the rock with a strong clay signature.
  • Perseverance achieved the longest driving distance ever on another planet, covering 411.7 meters to reach the 'Main Topsail' locality for exploration.
  • Special visitors, Madeline and Joshua, were named honorary Mars 2020 Operations Team Members, with Madeline selecting the target 'Jigging Cove' and Joshua selecting 'Gallants' as a coring target for Perseverance's investigation.

Human dam-building has caused a small (but astonishing) pole shift

  • Human dam-building over the past two centuries has caused a shift in Earth's poles by about a meter and resulted in a 21-millimeter drop in global sea levels, according to a study in Geophysical Research Letters.
  • The process, known as true polar wander, occurs when mass is redistributed around the planet's surface, causing the outermost solid layer to wobble and move relative to the magma below it.
  • Researchers found that the construction of 6,862 dams from 1835 to 2011 led to two phases of pole shifts, with the North Pole moving 20.5 centimeters toward the 103rd meridian east and then shifting 57 centimeters toward the 117th meridian west.
  • The study highlights the importance of considering water impoundment from dams when calculating future sea level rise and its impact on global sea levels.

Scientists now believe Earth is sunken near the centre of a giant cosmic void

  • Scientists believe that the Milky Way may be located in a cosmic void, an area of the universe that is uncommonly empty, leading to the observation of galaxies speeding away from each other at a faster pace nearby.
  • Research presented at the Royal Astronomical Society's National Astronomy Meeting proposes the existence of a 'void' as a potential explanation for this cosmic phenomenon.
  • Dr. Indranil Banik from the University of Portsmouth discussed the data derived from baryon acoustic oscillations, which act as a 'standard ruler' to chart cosmic expansion history and support the theory of an underdensity in the universe.
  • The theory posits that living in a void could distort our understanding of the universe's expansion rate and redshift measurements, with potential implications for the eventual heat death of the universe.

Space ice isn’t just frozen water—it’s full of tiny crystals

  • Ice in space, known as low-density amorphous ice, was believed to be entirely disordered but new research shows it contains tiny crystals.
  • Computer models and lab experiments suggest space ice includes three-nanometer-wide crystals embedded in its structure, challenging previous assumptions.
  • The partially crystalline structure of space ice could impact cosmic processes and the arrival of life ingredients on Earth, according to lead author Dr. Michael B. Davies.
  • The findings also have practical implications for materials like fiber optics, hinting at possible performance improvements by understanding the presence of tiny crystals.
