NASA finds evidence that two exoplanets maybe mostly water | Oneindia News *Space
A team of astronomers from the University of Montreal have found that two exoplanets orbiting a distant planet are “water worlds” with water making up a large part of their volumes.
Scientists used the NASA’s Hubble and the retired Spitzer space telescopes to make the observation.
NASA Reestablishes , Connection With Distant , Voyager 1 Space Probe.
The news comes after engineers at
the agency worked for months
attempting to fix the 46-year-old probe.
In December, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
said that the probe, now a staggering 15 billion miles
away from Earth, was transmitting gibberish code. .
On April 23, the JPL announced that
the team was once again receiving
usable data from the spacecraft.
Currently, the probe is only
transmitting data regarding the status
of the ship's engineering systems.
The next step is to enable
the spacecraft to begin
returning science data again, JPL statement, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that Voyager 1 has been in
operation for nearly half a century after launching
in 1977 with the goal of studying Jupiter and Saturn.
In August of 2012, Voyager crossed into
interstellar space, becoming the first
human-made object to leave the solar system.
The probe is currently traveling at a staggering
36,800 miles per hour through space.
NASA plans to collect data from the two
Voyager spacecraft for a few more years,
but the space agency expects to lose
contact with the probes within the next decade

NASA has unveiled striking images capturing the extensive flooding in the UAE following the recent torrential rainfall. Describing it as a "slow-moving storm," NASA highlighted the unprecedented deluge that inundated the Gulf states, surpassing a year's worth of rainfall in some regions. According to the UAE's meteorological department, the country received a staggering 6.04 billion cubic metres of rain last week, nearly equivalent to its annual precipitation of 6.7 billion cubic metres. This remarkable event underscores the magnitude of the weather phenomenon that swept across the region.
