The Earth’s Core Is Cooling At A Faster Rate Than Previously Thought. A New Study Estimates A 1.5X Higher Bulk Thermal Conductivity At Core-Mantle Boundary Than The Conventional Value, Which Could Imply A Faster Earth Cooling Process That Could Make The Earth Unhabitable And Tectonically Inactive Millions Or Billions Of Years From Now.

Researchers Have Found The First Direct Evidence Of A Never Before Seen Mineral That Forms In The Mantle. The Mineral, Davemaoite, Is Said To Be A High Pressure-Temperature Form Of Wollastonite, A Commonly Found Mineral. The Davemaoite Was Discovered, Using Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction, In A Botswana Diamond, Which Formed In The mantle.…

The Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse In This Century And In ~580 Years Will Occur For 3 Hrs And 28 Mins, Begining Late Thursday Night To Early Friday (18th-19th, Nov. 2021) Across The USA. And Spectators Do Not Need Special Glasses To View It. A Partial Lunar Eclipse Occurs When The Sun, Earth, And Moon Are In An Almost Straight Line.

A Researcher Is Stating That The Moon”s Top Rocky Soil Layer Contains Enough Oxygen That Can Sustain 8 Billion People For 100,000 Years. However, The Oxygen, Which Makes Up 45% Of The Lunar Soil, Would Have To Be Extracted From Its Bonded State With, Fortunately, Existing Technology, Increasing The Feasibility For Long Term Moon Base.

The UAE Hope Probe, Via Its Ultraviolet Spectrometer, Has Found Higher Levels Of Oxygen (Unpredicted Variations Of 50% Or More In The Brightness) In Mars Atmosphere Than The Expected Relative Uniform Oxygen Levels Across Mars. The Discovery Is Said To Have Implications For Existing Martian Atmospheric Models And The Atmosphere Behavior.

Researchers, Based On China’s Chang’e 5 Spacecraft Lunar Samples, Have Determined That The Moon Was Last Volcanically Active With Lava Flow As Recent As 2 Byrs Ago. This Find, Which Has Many Implications, Contradicts Earlier Opinion That The Moon Died Early Due To Its Small Size. And It Also Raises Question As To The Cause Of The Lava.

NASA, Using The Chandra X-Ray Telescope, May Have Discovered The First Exoplanet Outside Of Our Galaxy. The New Saturn-Sized Exoplanet Is Said To Be 28 Million Light-Years From Earth In The Messier 51 Galaxy. All Of The ~5000 Exoplanets Discovered Were Within The Milky Way. And Most Of Them Are Less Than 3,000 Light-Years From Earth.
