NASA has captured an image of the 500-metre wide asteroid Bennu using its high tech Osiris-Rex spacecraft, according to a statement. The 1,600-foot rock that was branded an “apocalypse … Continue reading
Machine Causes Light to Behave in ‘Impossible’ Ways
Physicists have built a ring in which pulses of light whip circles around each other and the normal rules that govern light’s behavior no longer apply. Under normal circumstances, light displays certain kids of physical symmetry. First, if you were to play a tape of light’s behavior forward and then backward, you would see it behave in the same way … Continue reading
Data Suggest Apollo 14 Moon Rock May Have Come from Earth
One of the most intriguing samples retrieved by the Apollo 14 astronauts appears to be terrestrial in origin. A recent geological analysis of a rock discovered by astronauts Alan Shepard and Ed Mitchell during the Apollo 14 Moon landing in 1971 has revealed traits consistent with formation on the Earth. Known as ‘Big Bertha’, the sample contains felsite clast with … Continue reading

Supermassive Black Hole May be Pointed ‘Directly at Earth’
Astronomers have discovered that a radio jet from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way could be pointed almost directly towards the Earth. By incorporating the world’s most powerful telescope, Alma, into an array of sky-scanning antennae, astronomers have managed to pinpoint the radio emission to a smaller region of space than previously thought. The Alma … Continue reading
Your Sleeping Position Can Reveal Some Interesting Things About You
Those who have got a university degree are most likely to sleep on their left side each night – known as ‘leftie loungers’, according to a new survey. The position you sleep in reveals plenty about your age, your job and your hobbies and how well rested you’ll be, a new survey reveals. According to the findings, those with a … Continue reading
DARPA Proposes an AI (KAIROS) that Can Monitor the Entire World for Threats
DARPA already has a reputation as the mad scientist lab of the defense industry (even if they try to deny their work on metahumans or cyborgs), but their previous projects pale in comparison to the sheer scope of their newest artificial intelligence proposal: KAIROS, short for “Knowledge-directed Artificial Intelligence Reasoning Over Schemas.” Its purpose? To gaze at the reams of … Continue reading
Massive Anomaly Discovered by NASA in Antarctica Sparks Conspiracy Theories
The massive asteroid impact crater, discovered by scientists below the Antarctic ice sheet via satellite observation, may well be linked to the worst extinction event in the earth’s history known as the Great Dying. A vast gravity anomaly was detected by a NASA satellite deep under the frozen surface of Antarctica, prompting some to wonder what might lurk below the … Continue reading
