A football field-sized asteroid that had posed a threat to Earth in 2032 is now considered to have an extremely low chance of impact. The European Space Agency (ESA) reported that the risk of the asteroid, 2024 YR4, hitting Earth has dropped to just 0.001%. Just one week ago, the probability stood at......

A giant telescope installed at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea has detected a neutrino with an unprecedented energy level, marking a world-first breakthrough. The French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) described this as an "exceptional discovery" that could open new avenues......

In a significant scientific advancement, researchers at the University of Oxford have successfully demonstrated quantum teleportation between computer systems, marking a crucial step toward developing interconnected quantum computing networks. The research team, led by Dougal Main, has tackled one of......

Moroccan meteorite hunters and dealers have established themselves as key players in the international meteorite market, with over a thousand documented discoveries since 1999. A new book by Helen Gordon, "The Meteorites: Encounters with Outer Space and Deep Time," details this remarkable development. At......

The Doomsday Clock has been moved forward by one second, now standing at 89 seconds before midnight, indicating an increased risk of global disaster. This shift marks the first change in three years, reflecting ongoing threats from nuclear weapons, climate change, bioweapons, pandemics, and disruptive......

Astronomers have uncovered a remarkable phenomenon on the exoplanet WASP-127b, where jet-stream winds reach astonishing speeds of 20,500 miles per hour (33,000 km/h). These supersonic winds, the fastest ever detected on any known planet, circle the gaseous giant’s equator at velocities far surpassing......

The world of astronomy has a golden rule: never look directly at the sun. This warning echoes through public lectures and stargazing events, as unfiltered sunlight can permanently damage human retinas and optical equipment. Yet, in a remarkable departure from this principle, NASA once deliberately pointed......

A newly reported mosasaur species discovered in Morocco's phosphate mines has come under scrutiny, as paleontologists question whether its distinctive tooth crowns were artificially attached to the skull. The specimen, dubbed Carinodens acrodon, was found in the Sidi Chennane phosphate mine in Khouribga......

SpaceX is preparing for an ambitious seventh test flight of its Starship megarocket, scheduled for Monday at 11 PM French time from Texas. This launch comes just two months after the sixth flight and introduces several innovative features and challenging objectives for the world's most powerful rocket. The......

Morocco's underwater heritage received a significant boost with the discovery of two historic shipwrecks near the coastal city of El Jadida. The National Center for Studies and Research on Underwater Heritage, operating under the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, announced the finding......

In a groundbreaking discovery from Morocco's phosphate mines, scientists have identified a new species of mosasaur that offers fresh insights into the evolution of these fascinating marine reptiles. The newly described species, named Carinodens acrodon, lived approximately 67 million years ago during......

The National Center for Scientific and Technical Research (CNRST) in Morocco has unveiled an updated version of its "Scientific Production Barometer," which highlights the country's progress in various academic and scientific fields. The updated barometer encompasses a diverse range of......
