Hubble Detects Ghostly Glow Surrounding Our Solar System
(Picture: NASA, ESA, and Andi James (STScI))Scientists from Arizona State University discover eerie, mysterious light circling our solar system after scouring 200,000 images from Nasa’s Hubble space telescope.
They tried to examine exactly how dark it was possible to get the solar system, but when all sources of light were removed, this spooky glow remained.
So what’s causing it? One theory is that it could be dark matter decaying in far away galaxies.
Eight artists have been chosen by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa for a mission it’s hoped will take the rookie crew around the moon in a SpaceX Starship - but they could be years away from flight clearance.
Among the crew of creatives are YouTuber Tim Dodd, photographers Rhiannon Adam and Karim Iliya, and DJ Steve Aoki - let’s hope they remember their chargers and cables.
Scientists at London’s Kew Gardens have been sequencing apple DNA, and Tech & Science Daily finds out more about this project with Dr Ilia Leitch, senior research leader in character evolution at Kew, who explains how the fruit’s genetic code looks different to human DNA.
The aim of the project is to help stop wild apples being ‘hybridised’ out of existence and provide a global database to help protect thousands of apple varieties from disease and climate change.
