It was one of the quintessential European travel experiences. With passengers cradled to sleep by the clank of the wheels on the rails, the network of night trains that spanned the continent inspired travelogues, thrillers and films. But the cost required to keep them running, coupled with the growth of high speed day trains and the popularity of budget airlines, meant that the era of th

Asian stocks advanced Tuesday following another record close on Wall Street, with investors cheered by forecast-beating US data and hopes for fresh stimulus for the world's top economy. But while there are small signs of a slowdown in infections in key US states, the spread of the virus across the planet and the reintroduction of strict containment measures continue to be overwhelming factor

Scientists have developed a new prediction of the shape of the bubble surrounding our solar system using a model developed with data from NASA missions. All the planets of our solar system are encased in a magnetic bubble, carved out in space by the Sun's constantly outflowing material, the solar wind. Outside this bubble is the interstellar medium - the ionized gas and magnetic field that

Solar activity varies in 11-year cycles. As the activity cycle switches to a new one, the Sun is usually very calm for several years. For a long time, researchers have believed that there is not much of interest going on in the Sun during the passive period, therefore not worth studying. Now this assumption is showed to be false by Juha Kallunki, Merja Tornikoski and Irene Bjorklund, resea

All the chemical elements in the universe, except for hydrogen and most of the helium, were produced inside stars. But among them there are a few (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorus) which are particularly interesting because they are basic to life as we know it on Earth. Phosphorus is of special interest because it forms part of the DNA and RNA molecules and is a necessary element

Every night on Mars, when the sun sets and temperatures fall to minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit and below, an eerie phenomenon spreads across much of the planet's sky: a soft glow created by chemical reactions occurring tens of miles above the surface. An astronaut standing on Mars couldn't see this "nightglow" - it shows up only as ultraviolet light. But it may one day help scientists to bett

Using data from NASA's InSight Lander on Mars, Rice University seismologists have made the first direct measurements of three subsurface boundaries from the crust to the core of the red planet. "Ultimately it may help us understand planetary formation," said Alan Levander, co-author of a study available online this week in Geophysical Research Letters. While the thickness of Mars' crust an
