جيمس ويب يحل لغز دوران زحل

حلّ علماء الفلك لغزاً استمر لعقود حول معدل دوران زحل باستخدام تلسكوب جيمس ويب الفضائي. تبيّن أن التغيرات المرصودة لا تعود إلى تسارع أو تباطؤ الكوكب، بل إلى رياح قوية في طبقاته الجوية العليا مرتبطة بالشفق القطبي.

  • حلّ علماء الفلك لغزاً استمر لعقود حول معدل دوران زحل باستخدام تلسكوب جيمس ويب الفضائي. تبيّن أن التغيرات المرصودة لا تعود إلى تسارع أو تباطؤ الكوكب، بل إلى رياح قوية في طبقاته الجوية العليا مرتبطة بالشفق القطبي.
  • يكشف الاكتشاف كيف يمكن للتفاعلات بين الشفق والرياح والتيارات الكهربائية أن تغيّر فهمنا لديناميكيات الكواكب الغازية وطرق قياس دورانها.
  • A decades-old mystery about Saturn has finally been solved thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists discovered that Saturn’s changing “rotation rate” was never caused by the planet speeding up or slowing down, but by powerful winds high in its atmosphere. Webb’s unprecedented observations revealed that Saturn’s northern lights actively heat the atmosphere, creating winds that generate electrical currents, which then power the aurora all over again in a self-sustaining cycle.

Why middle age is becoming a breaking point in the U.S. الأبحاث

Why middle age is becoming a breaking point in the U.S.

A new international study finds that middle-aged Americans are lonelier, more depressed, and experiencing worse memory and health than earlier generations. Researchers say growing financial strain, weaker social supports, and chronic stress may explain why the U.S. is falling behind other wealthy nations.

Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise

A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain and body work together. The findings suggest that complex behaviors emerge from distributed local circuits rather than a single central controller, offering new clues about intelligence, movement, and brain function.
