The discovery of an exoplanet named GJ 9827d, which is about twice the size of Earth and located 97 light-years away, has intrigued astronomers due to the presence of water vapor in its atmosphere. This significant finding was made using the Hubble Space Telescope, an older but still highly effective piece of technology, even with the newer James Webb Space …

The ocean’s depths pose significant challenges for human exploration, with the record for the deepest unassisted human dive standing at 332.35 meters. Yet, some marine life thrives in these extreme conditions, enduring the immense pressure, minimal light, and freezing temperatures found thousands of feet below the surface. Dr. Yasunori Kano from the University of Tokyo undertook an exceptional deep-sea exploration …
