In summer, when it is very hot, people can get sick easily. If you work a lot outside in the heat, you might get a heat stroke. Your body normally stays around 98.6°F. But if it goes above 104°F, you could get a heat stroke. When you have a heat stroke, your body can’t control its temperature anymore. It’s serious and can even lead to death if you don’t get help fast. But how do you know if you’re having a heat stroke? Let’s talk about the signs. First, you might feel dizzy. Your mind might suddenly feel strange, and…

Plastic pollution harms baby ocean animals. Plastic pollution hurts more than just big animals like turtles and birds. A study from the University of Exeter shows that plastic can harm baby ocean animals, even before they’re born. An embryo is like a tiny plan for an animal. It tells the animal how to grow. But when baby animals are exposed to lots of plastic, they don’t grow right. Dr. Eva Jimenez-Guri led the study. She said, “When we gave the animals lots of new plastic pellets, they didn’t grow right. Some couldn’t make a shell or other body parts. Some…

Astronomers have found a really big black hole in our Milky Way galaxy. This huge black hole is special because it’s in a pair of stars. The discovery is exciting and surprises scientists. It helps us learn more about black holes. When a very big star in space burns out, it explodes in a big event called a supernova. After the explosion, its center collapses into a tiny, super dense point called a black hole. Black holes have strong gravity, so strong that not even light can escape them. They’re like invisible giants in space. Finding black holes is hard…

About 41,000 years ago the Earth experienced a big change in its magnetic field. This change is called the Laschamps event. The Earth’s magnetic field is like a shield protecting it from harmful space radiation. But sometimes, this shield becomes weaker. During the Laschamps event, the Earth’s magnetic field weakened a lot. It even flipped, so the north and south poles swapped places. When this happened the Earth’s magnetic field couldn’t block out as much cosmic radiation from space. This exposed the Earth to dangerous cosmic rays and particles from the Sun. Scientists studied evidence from ice and sediment cores…

Dubai, a desert nation in the Middle East, experienced an unusual event recently. The city witnessed two consecutive days of heavy rain, a rare occurrence for a place known for its dry climate. The downpour was so intense that authorities had to temporarily close Dubai Airport, one of the busiest and most advanced airports globally. According to the Department of Meteorology, Dubai hadn’t seen such significant rainfall in the last 75 years. However, amidst the discussion about the flooding, another unusual phenomenon caught everyone’s attention: the sky turned a mysterious green color. A viral video on social media captured the…

A beautiful photo of the galaxy UGC 12158 recently captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope ended up featuring a surprising guest which is a photobombing asteroid. A team of astronomers led by Pablo García Martín from the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain, and co-authored by Bruno Merín from the European Space Astronomy Centre; embarked on a unique project utilizing Hubble’s vast image archive spanning 19 years. Their goal was to identify previously unnoticed asteroids lurking in our solar system. Their efforts paid off, as they uncovered a total of 1,701 asteroid trails in the Hubble images, with 1,031 of them…

NASA approved the Dragonfly mission to explore Saturn’s moon Titan. This allows the mission to move forward with building and testing the spacecraft and its instruments. The Dragonfly mission led by Dr. Melissa Trainer will investigate the chemistry of Titan using a tool called the Dragonfly Mass Spectrometer (DraMS). Titan is Saturn’s largest moon and has an atmosphere rich in nitrogen and methane, similar to Earth’s. It also has lakes and seas of liquid hydrocarbons on its surface. The mission aims to understand if Titan’s chemistry could support life or prebiotic chemistry similar to early Earth. Titan’s surface hides a…

Flying cars are becoming a reality and it is not just a dream. You can consider waking up in the morning and going to your rooftop and seeing a flying taxi waiting for you. You hop in, and within minutes, you’re whisked away to your office rooftop. It sounds like something out of a fantasy story but it’s actually happening. For years, researchers have been working on flying car technology. Some companies have even built prototypes and tested them. These early models faced challenges and didn’t gain much popularity. Recently, a Chinese company unveiled a new model of a flying…

Many parts of the world are experiencing high temperatures and it is surpassing 40 degrees Celsius, much higher than usual. This heatwave is expected to persist for several days, with temperatures possibly reaching 42 degrees Celsius this month it is causing discomfort for many. Extra care is advised for the elderly and children during this hot weather. It is best to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities and stay indoors whenever possible to prevent heat-related illnesses. Heat stroke, in particular, poses a serious risk and can be fatal. While it may seem refreshing, drinking ice-cold water after being in the heat is…
