The frequency of fast radio bursts from space is a mystery. It’s even more unusual

We are determined to determine if the “truth is out there”. If we had all the pieces, maybe they would fit together and close the gap to better understanding.

The team will collect evidence and analyze data from scientifically unexplained aerial occurrences to determine if they are natural or require another explanation. The nine-month study will begin in the fall and the results will be shared with the public.

“I spent most of my career as a cosmologist. I can tell you that we don’t know what 95% of the universe is made of,” said astrophysicist David Spiergel, who will lead the team.

To help you get started, here are some other unusual things we learned this week.

Mysterious fast radio bursts have long puzzled astronomers because they don’t understand what causes the millisecond-long flashes of light in space.

Now a pulsating burst of radio waves has been detected in a galaxy about 3 billion light years away – It’s even weirder than the others†

The celestial body continuously emitted weaker radio waves between repeated flares. Only one other fast radio burst is known to do this, leaving astronomers to wonder if there is more than one type of these unexplained phenomena.

It’s a living thing.

For the first time ever, scientists have learned how to grow human-like skin with a robotic finger.

According to the researchers, this progress is one step closer to making robots look and feel like living beings.

The experiments used the same cells that serve as the building blocks of human skin. The Human-like skin was able to repel water†

Researchers are interested in the addition of a vascular system that could help skin maintain itself, grow nails and even sweat. Having human hands could one day allow robots to help us with an amazing range of tasks.

Fernanda now lives at the Fausto Lirina Giant Tortoise Breeding Center on Santa Cruz Island in Ecuador's Galapagos National Park.

Meet Fernando. She means a lot to Galapagos, and we don’t blame you if you sang a version of ABBA’s “Fernando” in her honor.

The only female baby tortoise to live on Fernandina Island in the Galapagos archipelago was discovered in 2019. Her discovery shocked scientists as they believed the Fernandina tortoise to be extinct, especially given the highly active volcano in the Galapagos Islands. ‘island.

A new genetic study has revealed that Fernanda is indeed a species native to her island, particularly when compared to DNA from a male turtle sample taken from the island in 1906.

And the Fernanda may not be the last of her kind† Recent evidence suggests there are others on the island, but future expeditions, and the turtles themselves, face enormous volcanic challenges.

Creativity’s Helicopter battles the misty shadow of winter on Mars.

The advent of periodic dust storms sent the NASA team brilliantly out of touch for two days in May. The little helicopter now has very cold nights without heating and has less solar power due to the lack of sunlight. But the helicopter team has A blueprint that can help creativity survive and fly high on Mars†

Reports indicate that the tank of perseverance has meanwhile adopted rock Elif (And we’re not joking†

Meanwhile, NASA’s DAVINCI spacecraft will encounter adverse conditions as it orbits Earth, then attempt to land on the hellish surface of Venus in 2031, descending under tremendous pressure and Extreme temperatures to take pictures like never before of the planet.

This illustration shows the terrifying spinosaurid from the Isle of Wight as it came to life.

Ancient bones recently discovered on the Isle of Wight were among one of Europe’s largest predators. Spinosaurus, a two-legged dinosaur with a crocodile face, It was bigger than a double decker bus†

The bones, from an animal that lived 125 million years ago, likely belonged to a recently discovered species. But scientists need more information to make a decision.

Thanks to a number of fossils excavated from the island, the Isle of Wight is known as The dinosaur capital of the UK. And if you like more dinosaurs, Jurassic World: Dominion I was Out this week†
