China Activates Nuclear-Powered ‘Artificial Sun’, TEN TIMES Hotter Than the Real Thing
Beijing has successfully powered up its “artificial sun” nuclear fusion reactor for the first time, China’s People’s Daily reported on Friday. It’s designed to be a clean energy source, similar to the real Sun. Made to replicate the natural reactions that occur in the sun using hydrogen and deuterium gases as fuels, the HL-2M Tokamak reactor is China’s largest and … Continue reading
Amateur Astronomer Alberto Caballero May Have Found Source of Wow! Signal
This is an incredible development. This study suggests the source of the ‘WOW! signal’ may have come from a planet similar to Earth circling its own sun-like star! Bob Yirka via Phys.org Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero, one of the founders of The Exoplanets Channel, has found a small amount of evidence for a source of the notorious Wow! … Continue reading
Chernobyl Fungus Could Shield Astronauts from Cosmic Radiation
Stephen Johnson Big Think A recent study tested how well the fungi species Cladosporium sphaerospermum blocked cosmic radiation aboard the International Space Station. When astronauts return to the moon or travel to Mars, how will they shield themselves against high levels of cosmic radiation? A recent experiment aboard the International Space Station suggests a surprising solution: a radiation-eating fungus, which … Continue reading
Earth 2,000 Light Years CLOSER to Supermassive Black Hole & Moving FASTER than Previously Thought
I wonder if this newly discovered information means that we (Earth and our solar system) will be sucked into the black hole before the death of our Sun. via RT: As if 2020 wasn’t ‘unprecedented’ enough, astronomers have learned that Earth is actually 2,000 light years closer to the Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky … Continue reading

Headline Image caption & credit: The Earth is certainly not alone in the cosmos. NASA Ames / W Stenzel A new NASA study has revealed just how many potentially habitable worlds there are in our galaxy. As things stand, the Earth is the only known example of a habitable world in the entire universe – even the other planets in … Continue reading
Scientists Achieve Success in Reversing Biological Aging
In a world-first study, the biological aging process has been reversed in a group of elderly volunteers. Mankind has been obsessed with gaining immortality for thousands of years, but even despite the incredible advances in science and medicine achieved over the last few centuries, our species still remains just as vulnerable to the aging process as our ancestors were millions … Continue reading

Planetary Defenses MISSED Asteroid Flyby that Came within 400km of Earth on Friday 13th
A disturbing new record for the closest asteroid flyby of the Earth has been set, after a space rock named 2020 VT4 came within 400 kilometers (250 miles) of the planet on Friday the 13th. And our planetary defenses missed it. The asteroid was spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey at the Mauna Loa Observatory in … Continue reading

Why We May Be Surrounded by Older Alien Civilizations
Are alien civilizations likely to be younger or older than us in age? A basic question that seems insurmountable until we start detecting them. But even before that, we can use some logical deduction using lifetime distribution statistics to determine the most plausible answer to this question.
