Approaching Asteroid Set to Pass Inside the Belt of Satellites in Geostationary Orbit on Sept. 24
“…orbit for 2020 SW is currently very Earthlike, which means it will be very close to Earth on a regular basis.” A newly discovered asteroid called 2020 SW will pass so close to Earth this week that it might hit a communications satellite. “That’s very unlikely, but we can’t rule it out,” scientists say. Asteroid 2020 SW is expected to … Continue reading
Two Asteroids Set to Cross Earth’s Orbit Hours Apart as Another Pyramid-Sized Space Rock Barrels Our Way
Two 100-meter-wide asteroids are set to cross Earth’s orbit within hours of each other in the coming days as another space rock, the size of ancient Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza, careens towards our planet. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, which tracks asteroids and comets that will come close to Earth, has confirmed that it is monitoring two … Continue reading
NASA Announces Start of Solar cycle 25
Solar Cycle 25 is officially underway. NASA and NOAA made the announcement during a media teleconference on Sept. 15th. According to an international panel of experts, the sunspot number hit rock bottom in Dec. 2019, bringing an end to old Solar Cycle 24. Since then, sunspot counts have been slowly increasing, heralding new Solar Cycle 25. “How quickly solar activity … Continue reading
Non-Carbon Based Alien Life
Science Fiction has long contemplated the idea that alien life not based on carbon chemistry such as silicon might exist on distant and strange worlds, or might be made to exist advanced biological engineering. What would such life be like? Isaac Arthur YouTube IF YOU ENJOY THIS SITE PLEASE TELL OTHERS ABOUT US…SHARING IS CARING Start the discussion, leave a … Continue reading
Possible Hint of Life Discovered on Venus
Rafi Letzler LiveScience An unexplained chemical has turned up in the upper atmosphere of Venus. Scientists are tentatively suggesting it could be a sign of life. The unknown chemical is phosphine gas (PH3), a substance that on Earth mostly comes from anaerobic (non-oxygen-breathing) bacteria or “anthropogenic activity” — stuff humans are doing. It exists in the atmospheres of gas giant … Continue reading
We are Fast Approaching a Close Encounter with Mars -The Red Planet
If you don’t think 2020 has been exciting enough, maybe this Mars close approach to Earth in progress might add just a little excitement… via nemesis maturity: Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter this Fall, one of the best since 2003, and their separation is rapidly shrinking–negative 9 km/s as of Sep. 1st. You are literally approaching … Continue reading
Egyptian Archaeologists Find 13 Sealed 2,500yo Coffins, Tease of ‘Very Exciting’ Discovery Coming Soon
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has confirmed the discovery of 13 pristine condition wooden coffins, each at least 2,500 years old and sealed since they were first interred. And there are likely more to come. According to a press release, the tomb was discovered near the desert necropolis of Saqqara in Egypt some 11 meters (36 feet) below … Continue reading
Could We Survive An Asteroid Collision?
It’s an inevitability, a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’ a space rock will hit Earth… the more we know, the better the chance of either negating or minimizing the celestial threat. “This documentary takes a look at the present efforts and problems associated with the location and observation of possible life-threatening comets and asteroids, as well as plans to avoid … Continue reading
The Moon is Mysteriously Rusting Despite Lack of Air & Liquid Water
Ahead of a slew of new missions to Earth’s natural satellite, researchers have detected a bizarre and unexpected anomaly on the lunar surface: the airless, liquid water-free Moon is rusting. This perplexing discovery has its roots in 2008 when the Indian Space Research Organization’s Chandrayaan-1 orbiter surveyed the Moon’s surface and discovered water ice. It wasn’t until recently that Shuai … Continue reading
A Strange Form of Life Could Flourish Deep Inside Stars, According to Physicists
Michelle Starr ScienceAlert When searching for signs of life in the Universe, we tend to look for very specific things, based on what we know: a planet like Earth, in orbit around a star, and at a distance that allows liquid surface water. But there could, conceivably, be other forms of life out there that look like nothing that we … Continue reading
