Patrick Simmons+FollowScientists Create 'Seed of Life' Super AlcoholChemists just whipped up a 'super alcohol' called methanetetrol—something scientists thought was too unstable to exist! They made it under crazy space-like conditions, and it could be a major clue in the search for alien life. This molecule is like a prebiotic bomb, ready to spark more complex chemistry wherever it forms. If we find it in space, it might mean the building blocks for life are out there. Mind = blown! #Science #ScienceNews #Space247Share
James Brady+FollowAsteroid Could Cause Epic Meteor ShowerImagine an asteroid smacking into the Moon and sending a ton of lunar debris our way. Scientists say there’s a small chance this could happen in the next decade, and if it does, we’d get a wild meteor shower—but also a huge headache for over 10,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit. The crater would be the biggest in 5,000 years! Space drama, anyone? #Science #space #asteroid570Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowMeteorite Crashes Through Georgia Roof?!A meteor blazed across the sky so bright it was spotted from space—and it might’ve punched a hole straight through a house in Georgia! Locals heard sonic booms, and now there are pics of a roof with a meteor-sized hole. NASA says these daylight fireballs are super rare (like, once a month worldwide). Imagine chilling at home and a chunk of space rock drops in! Would you keep the meteorite if it landed in your living room? #Meteorite #Georgia #Space #Science153Share

Patrick Simmons+FollowAntarctica’s Ice Is Sending Weird SignalsScientists are scratching their heads over bizarre radio signals coming from deep under Antarctic ice—signals that seem to break the laws of physics! These waves were first picked up by NASA’s ANITA experiment, and no one can explain them yet. Other big observatories tried to find the same thing, but nada. Are we missing a whole new kind of physics, or is it just a fluke? A new, super-sensitive detector is set to launch soon, so stay tuned for answers! #ScienceMystery #Antarctica #Space #Science102Share
Michelle York+FollowWildest Science News This Week!Did you hear? Astronomers just spotted the biggest explosion since the Big Bang—seriously, it outshone every star in its galaxy! AI is now saying some Dead Sea Scrolls might've been written by the OG Bible authors. Plus, the Milky Way might NOT crash into Andromeda after all (phew). Two adorable Yangtze finless porpoises got released back into the wild, and scientists made male mouse embryos grow ovaries just by tweaking iron levels. Oh, and it’s basically impossible to tell a dino’s sex. Science is wild! #ScienceNews #Space #DeadSeaScrolls #Science20Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowFlower Moon Magic Hits Tonight!The Flower Moon is rising tonight and it’s a total showstopper! Named for May’s wildflowers, this full moon will look extra big and maybe even yellow or orange when it pops up over the horizon (thanks, moon illusion). Miss it? No worries—it’ll still look full for another night or two. Pro tip: grab a stargazing app to catch the best view, and keep an eye out for Jupiter, Mars, and some sparkling stars nearby. Photographers, this is your moment! #FlowerMoon #FullMoon #Stargazing #Astrophotography #Space #Science50Share
James Brady+FollowUniverse’s First Molecule Just Got a RemixScientists just recreated the universe’s very first molecule (helium hydride ion, aka HeH+) in the lab, and it’s blowing minds. Turns out, these molecules are way more important for star formation than anyone thought. The reactions don’t slow down at cold temps like we assumed, which means our whole understanding of how the first stars formed needs a major update. The cosmos is keeping us on our toes! #Science #space #science00Share
