Adhara has an IQ of 162, which is higher than Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Adhara's story is an inspiration for all. At the age of three she was diagnosed with autism , a developmental disability. She was a victim of bullying; unkind behavior from other kids and even teachers made her parents change schools three times and soon after that she began to isolate herself from others, her parents told Marie Claire Mexico. "The teachers were not very empathetic, they told me that I wish she would finish an assignment. She began to exclude herself, she did not want to play with her classmates, she felt strange, different," her mother, Nayeli Sánchez, told the journal. 5 genius kids who have an IQ score higher than Albert Einstein Her mother reveals how her kid self taugh...

[ad_1] CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA: Saturn has a fresh new look thanks to Nasa 's Webb Space Telescope . The gas giant is dark in the latest photo by Webb, released Friday, but its rings are glowing. Webb snapped the picture in the infrared last weekend. At this wavelength, the planet appears dark because sunlight is absorbed by methane in the atmosphere. But the icy rings remain bright. Three of Saturn’s many moons also got caught on camera. Scientists are thrilled with this latest shot, which captures Saturn's atmosphere in detail. They hope to uncover new ring structures as well as any new planets that might be lurking there. “We look forward to digging into the deep exposures to see what discoveries may await," Matthew Tiscareno, a senior research scientist at the SETI Institute, said in a statement.

[ad_1] WASHINGTON: SpaceX plans to carry out its first test flight on Monday of Starship , the most powerful rocket ever built, designed to send astronauts to the Moon and eventually beyond. The launch is scheduled to take place at 7.00am (1200 GMT) from the sprawling Texas base of the private space company owned by billionaire Elon Musk . Fallback times are scheduled later in the week if Monday's attempt is postponed. The US space agency Nasa has picked the Starship capsule to ferry its astronauts to the Moon as part of the Artemis III mission, set for late 2025 at the earliest. Starship consists of a reusable capsule that carries crew and cargo and the first-stage Super Heavy booster rocket. The 164-foot (50-meter) tall Starship spacecraft sits atop the 230-foot tall Super Heavy rocket. SpaceX conducted a successful test-firing of the 33 Raptor engines on the first-stage booster of Starship in February. The Super Heavy booster was anchored to the ground during the test-f...

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Major droughts and pluvials - periods of excessive precipitation and water storage on land - have indeed been occurring more often, confirmed a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration( NASA )-led study. Droughts and floods will become more frequent and severe as our planet warms and climate changes, scientists have predicted, but detecting this on regional and continental scales has proven difficult, the study said. Two NASA, US, scientists examined 20 years of data from the NASA/German GRACE and GRACE-FO satellites to identify extreme wet and dry events, the study published in the journal Nature Water said. Floods and droughts account for more than 20 per cent of the economic losses caused by extreme weather events in the US each year. The economic impacts are similar around the world, though the human toll tends to be most devastating in poor neighbourhoods and developing nations. The scientists also found that the worldwide intensity of these extre...

[ad_1] NASA is using its advanced techology to head for space — so it can monitor our home. In its latest climate report, the agency says 2022 was the globe's fifth-hottest year on record, part of a long-term warming trend attributed to climate change caused by humans. Some of its newest high-tech efforts will help gather more data on how our planet is changing.  NASA has a new earth system observatory that will monitor a series of five advanced satellite missions that will monitor nearly every aspect of Earth. It will give NASA a 3D view of how the earth's systems are operating and are impacted by climate change.  "Really looking at the heartbeat of the planet, just a whole host of things that we are tracking every single day," said Randy Friedl, deputy director of Earth Science at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  In December, NASA launched a rocket from California carrying a satellite known as SWOT, short for...

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Global warming may uncover an ancient river landscape hidden beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet for a million years, according to a recent study. Although this ancient landscape remains untouched by the massive ice retreat in the region, projected climate warming could expose it in the future, as per a paper published on Tuesday in Nature Communications. The author of the study and who researches ice sheet behavior, long-term, and landscape evolution at Durham University in the UK, Stewart Jamieson , told ABC News that for about 34 million years, ice has covered Antarctica. Before that, the continent had a comparatively warm climate similar to modern-day southern South America, such as the Patagonia region in Argentina and Chile. According to Jamieson, at one time, there was evidence that Antarctica had tropical vegetation, including palm trees. Jamieson said, Scientists have recently found a vast landscape shaped by ancient rivers in Antarctica. This land...

[ad_1] Getting off to a ground-shaking start, NASA's $1.2 billion Psyche asteroid probe roared into space atop a Falcon Heavy rocket Friday, setting off on a 2.2-billion-mile voyage to a rare, metal-rich asteroid that may hold clues about how the cores of rocky planets like Earth first formed. "We're going to learn about a previously unstudied ingredient that went into making our habitable Earth, and that is the metal that is now in the Earth's core and the cores of all of the rocky planets, cores that we can never visit but of course that we want to learn about," said principal investigator Lindy Elkins-Tanton. "And Psyche is the single largest metallic object in our solar system. So if we want to learn about our cores, that's where we need to go." A SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket with the Psyche spacecraft launches from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Oct. 13, 2023. ...

[ad_1] WASHINGTON: Black holes are gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait until a hapless star wanders by. When the star gets close enough, the black hole 's gravitational grasp violently rips it apart and sloppily devours its gasses while belching out intense radiation. Astronomers using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope have recorded a star's final moments in detail as it gets gobbled up by a black hole. These are termed 'tidal disruption events'. But the wording belies the complex, raw violence of a black hole encounter. There is a balance between the black hole's gravity pulling in star stuff, and radiation blowing material out. In other words, black holes are messy eaters. Astronomers are using Hubble to find out the details of what happens when a wayward star plunges into the gravitational abyss. Hubble can't photograph the AT2022dsb tidal event's mayhem up close, since the munched-up star is nearly 300 million light-years away at the core o...

[ad_1] America's most experienced astronaut says her fully commercial visit to the International Space Station this week is a critical stepping stone on the road to space tourism, private-sector orbital research and development of commercially operated space stations. In a space-to-ground interview with CBS News, retired NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, veteran of three NASA flights with a U.S.-record 665 days in orbit and 10 spacewalks to her credit, compared the early days — and high costs — of commercial spaceflight with the dawn of commercial aviation when only the wealthy could afford to fly. Retired astronaut Peggy Whitson, commander of the second fully commercial flight to the International Space Station, chats with CBS News about the progress of her mission and its role in developing a private space station. Axiom Space "Back in the '30s, '40s...

[ad_1] Nasa scientists have spotted a massive black region on the Sun, which is 20 times larger than Earth. The appearance of the “coronal hole” has prompted US federal agency National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to sound out an alert for geomagnetic storms as the gaping hole is unleashing 1.8 million mile-per-hour solar winds towards Earth , which will impact the planet on Friday. Scientists are closely monitoring the situation to see if the winds will impact the Earth's magnetic field, satellites and technology. This was the second hole to appear in one week. Both holes were captured by Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which studies the Sun. The latest hole was discovered on March 23 near the Sun’s South Pole. The “hole” isn't really a hole, but a large region much cooler than the rest of the Sun, causing it to appear black. “Coronal holes are magnetically open areas that are one source of high-speed solar wind. They appear dark when viewed in many ...
