Dubai Floods: NASA posts pics of flooded UAE areas after 6 billion cubic metres of rain| Oneindia

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. #DubaiFloods #UAEFloods #NASAImages #FloodedUAE #RainInUAE #UAEWeather #FloodMonitoring #NASAData #UAEEnvironment #ClimateChange ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.123~HT.318~

NASA's Perseverance rover spots thousands of 'Unusual' white rocks on Mars | Oneindia News

Mars, often dubbed the "red planet," has once again intrigued scientists with a new discovery. NASA's Perseverance rover, tirelessly exploring Mars' Jezero Crater since early 2021, has stumbled upon a peculiar sight: thousands of white rocks scattered across the crater's surface. Recent images transmitted by the rover reveal over 4,000 light-toned pebble-sized rocks strewn throughout the crater floor. "These rocks are highly unusual, and we're actively working to unravel their origins," remarked Candice Bedford, a planetary scientist at Purdue University and member of the Mars 2020 science team, speaking at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) last month. Concurrently, NASA is wrapping up an architectural review of its Mars Sample Return (MSR) program, which aims to retrieve Martian rocks for detailed analysis back on Earth. #NASA #PerseveranceRover #MarsDiscovery #WhiteRocks #JezeroCrater #SpaceExploration #MartianGeology #RedPlanet #MarsResearch #ScienceDiscovery ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.194~

Astronomers May Have Solved the Mystery Surrounding Blue Supergiant Stars

Astronomers May Have Solved, the Mystery Surrounding , Blue Supergiant Stars. 'Newsweek' reports that astronomers now believe that some of the brightest and hottest stars in existence may be the result of collisions between two other stars. Scientists have long sought to determine how these intensely bright stars, known as blue supergiants, are formed. . According to a new paper published by 'The Astrophysical Journal Letters,' scientists suggest that blue supergiants are the result of two binary stars merging into one. Blue supergiants, which are about 16 to 40 times the mass of our sun, are some of the most massive stars in the universe. . Their intensely hot surface temperatures are often two to five times hotter than our sun and over 10,000 times more luminous. 'Newsweek' reports that the latest research looked at 59 early B-Type blue supergiant stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way galaxy. . We simulated the mergers of evolved giant stars with their smaller stellar companions over a wide range of parameters, taking into account the interaction and mixing of the two stars during the merger, Athira Menon, study author and an astrophysicist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain, via 'Newsweek'. The newly-born stars live as blue supergiants throughout the second longest phase of a star's life, when it burns helium in its core, Athira Menon, study author and an astrophysicist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain, via 'Newsweek'. The results obtained explain why blue supergiants are found in the so-called 'evolutionary gap' from classical stellar physics, a phase of their evolution where we would not expect to find stars, Artemio Herrero, study co-author and a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Spain, via 'Newsweek'. The team reportedly hopes to continue its investigation into the role that merging stars could play in the formation of galaxies, as well as how blue supergiants form neutron stars or black holes. .

On Saturday, a Russian Soyuz rocket successfully launched three astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), overcoming a setback that had led to the last-minute abort of its previous launch two days prior. NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky, and Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus embarked on their journey from the Russian-leased Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan, marking a smooth and triumphant lift-off. #RussianSoyuz #SpaceLaunch #AstronautsToISS #SpaceExploration #InternationalSpaceStation #SpaceMission #SoyuzLaunch #ISSExpedition #AstronautJourney #SpaceTravel #RocketLaunch #SpaceFlight #NASA #Roscosmos #SpaceGlitch #SpaceTechnology #OuterSpace #SpaceScience #CosmicJourney #SpaceAdventure ~PR.152~ED.101~GR.125~HT.96~
