GREENBELT, Md. — Saturn’s rings are iconic — but they’ve apparently been doing something to the planet that scientists never expected. A new study finds that these famous rings are actually heating Saturn’s atmosphere. Interestingly, a team from NASA says it’s something astronomers have never seen before in this solar system. “The secret has been hiding in plain view for 40 years. But it took the insight of a veteran astronomer to pull it all together within a year, using observations of Saturn from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and retired Cassini probe, in addition to the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft…
Avengers: Infinity War teased Captain Marvel as the Infinity Saga’s biggest new addition to the MCU, yet Carol’s role so far has been disappointing. Captain Marvel is returning in The Marvels (2023), yet the MCU is still wasting one of the MCU’s strongest Avengers. Though the MCU’s Carol Danvers appeared for the first time in Captain Marvel (2019) as part of Phase 3, the character has been a superhero since the 1990s in the in-universe MCU timeline. Still, not much has been shown of Captain Marvel in the MCU yet, even though the character had a crucial role in the Infinity Saga. Had it…
Ghost Rider and Spider-Man are very different types of heroes, but Marvel has just shown how awesome Peter Parker would be as the Spider of Vengeance. There are not a lot of similarities between the demonic and silent Ghost Rider and the wall-crawling, fast-talking Spider-Man, but Marvel proves that anything is possible in the Spider-Verse. In new cover art for Ghost Rider #14 fans are given a glimpse of what it would look like if Peter Parker became the Spider of Vengeance. Over the next few months Marvel Comics will be releasing multiple variants for upcoming titles, including Ghost Rider #23, which will includes a stunning alternate cover by…
On Sunday, Oct. 9, 2022, a pulse of intense radiation swept through the solar system so exceptional that astronomers quickly dubbed it the BOAT – the brightest of all time. The source was a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the most powerful class of explosions in the universe. Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions in the cosmos. Astronomers think most occur when the core of a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel, collapses under its own weight, and forms a black hole, as illustrated in this animation. The black hole then drives jets of particles that drill all the way…
One Piece’s Mera Mera no Mi is known to have two users, each using its powers in different ways to suit their respective needs.

A recent study led by SETI Institute Senior Research Scientist Kim Warren-Rhodes and published in Nature Astronomy brings us closer to discovering extraterrestrial life by mapping scarce life forms in extreme environments. The interdisciplinary research focuses on life hidden within salt domes, rocks, and crystals at Salar de Pajonales, situated at the border of the Chilean Atacama Desert and Altiplano. This study could help pinpoint exact locations to search for life on other planets, despite the limited opportunities to collect samples or access remote sensing instruments. Wouldn’t discovering life on other worlds be made easier if we knew the exact…
Zendaya recently spoke on the significance of the scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home where Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker got to make up for past mistakes. Every Spider-Man movie fan will surely remember it. During the final battle of Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, MJ, as portrayed by Zendaya, fell off some scaffolding only for Tom Holland’s heroic web-slinger to leap to the rescue. But he’s unable to make it in time, leaving Andrew Garfield’s Spidey to make the save. The sequence directly mirrors the scene in 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in which Garfield tries to save his love Gwen Stacy in a similar fashion but fails,…

These One Piece characters are in need of new power-ups, preferably sooner rather than later.

Most of these characters are endowed with potent devil fruits, which grant them an overwhelming amount of power.

If you are wondering how these winds impact our planet Earth, here’s some information for you.When the high-speed solar winds come near to the Earth, they impact the planet’s magnetic fields and cause disturbance in the magnetosphere, which is a protective layer around…
Despite being one of the strongest Straw Hats, Sanji is sidelined because of Zoro and Luffy. There are several moments where he has proven himself. Ever since he joined the crew, Sanji has always ranked below Luffy and Zoro within the Straw Hat Pirates’ hierarchy of strength. To make matters worse, once Jinbei joined the crew, Sanji’s rank degraded even further. Despite being one of the best characters written in One Piece, Sanji is usually very underrated. The only time he had more importance than Zoro was during the “Whole Cake Island” arc, which finally gave him his long-deserved spotlight, telling…
Luffy may have already thrown countless punches in One Piece, but the most satisfying remains the one that knocked out Bellamy the Hyena. With such a lengthy tenure, One Piece has countless epic battles under its belt. The manga has showcased large-scale wars like the Summit War of Marineford, as well as comedic one-on-one battles such as Luffy’s fight with Silver Fox Foxy. Needless to say, Luffy has thrown an infinitesimal amount of punches — and having been powerful enough to bury an Emperor, they are nothing to scoff at. But no matter how many enemies he’s decked, Luffy’s most satisfying punch remains…

As Marvel Studios prepares to add Deadpool to the MCU with Deadpool 3, many are already asking – who could show up in Ryan Reynolds’ next solo movie? Almost no MCU solo movie has built up more anticipation than Deadpool 3 largely thanks to the news that Hugh Jackman will return to the fray as Wolverine. But even more so, with Wade Wilson finally moving over from 20th Century Fox to Disney, he has the glorious opportunity to interact with the big names from the MCU that he’s only made fun of in his first two movies. Early plot details teased a “fish-out-of-water” story for the Merc with a Mouth, which should be due to…
Superhero origin stories have been the name of the Phase 4 game. From Ms. Marvel to Kate Bishop to Moon Knight, a steady stream of new characters have joined the ranks of the remaining Avengers. However, transformation tales aren’t exclusive to MCU newbies. Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson also underwent a different kind of origin story in accepting the mantle of Captain America from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, whose own whereabouts are still a mystery.
