A study conducted during the 2017 total solar eclipse in North America found that bees remained active during the partial-eclipse phases both before and after the period of totality, but they essentially ceased flying during totality. Their flights also tended to be longer in duration immediately before and after totality, an indication that bees may have slowed down their flight speed or returne ...

Parker Solar Probe will explore the corona, a region of the Sun only seen from Earth when the Moon blocks out the Sun's bright face during total solar eclipses. The corona holds the answers to many o ...
Effect of a prograde, parabolic fly-by of a star with a) M=0.5 M, b) M2= 1, Mand c) M2= 5 M that is inclined by 60 degrees and has an angle of periastron equal zero. The perihelion distance is alwa ...
Instant of a simulation in which two black holes merge. The collision of two rotating wormholes would trigger a similar deformation of space-time, leaving 'echoes' in the signal. Credit: LIGO LabCalt ...
When a particle with a certain angular momentum is located at the critical distance rst, it remains at rest while the spacetime is rotating around it. The closer a particle is to this critical distan ...
Within ancient rocks in Arizona's Petrified Forest National Park, scientists have identified signs of a regular variation in Earth's orbit that influences climate. Here, one of the authors near the r ...
Credit: NASA March 14, 2018 (Phys.org) -- Trailing Earth's orbit at 94 million miles away, the Kepler space telescope has survived many potential knock-outs during its nine years in flight, from mech ...
