NASA has planned eight major projects that will be undertaken over a period of coming six months. The research projects will range from Greenland ice sheet to the coral reefs of the South Pacific. The purpose of this scientific investigations campaign is to understand the extent to which the Earth is changing and how humans are affecting this change.

"Combining the long-term global view from space with detailed measurements from field experiments is a powerful way of deciphering what's happening in our world," said the Director of NASA's Earth Science Division, Michael Freilich.

The Japanese Space agency launched a satellite called Hitomi on February 17, with an aim to study black holes and other space mysteries. The satellite with X-ray telescopes could no longer be accessed by scientists since Saturday afternoon. The scientists are trying to figure out what had led to network failure.

Two mindsets have been dominating the world since centuries back. One group encompasses those who are religious minded, while another consists believers of science. A new study claimed that the difference in both groups arises due to dominance of one part of the brain, which forms their perception and belief.

There are two parts of brain; one is responsible for analytical thinking, whereas other give birth to empathetic thoughts. Researchers from the Case Western Reserve University and Babson University studied both parts and how they respond to supernatural beliefs. The researchers did eight experiments on 159 to 527 adults. The participants were judged for their empathetic and critical response.

NASA's Cassini mission scientists have identified the highest peak on Titan, largest moon of planet Saturn. The tallest peak on Titan is 10,948 feet high, the research team said.

They have also discovered that all of the highest peaks on Titan are roughly 10,000 feet in elevation. The study has revealed surfaces in-depth using pictures and other data from Cassini's radar instrument.

Stephen Wall, deputy lead of the Cassini radar team at NASA, said that the point discovered by them isn’t just the highest point they have found on Titan so far, but they also think that it’s the highest point they would ever find there. Most of the tallest mountains on Titan are apparently near to the equator.
