Another Giant Asteroid Will Hurtle Past Earth in Early February, Warns NASA
A gigantic asteroid which is larger than the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, will hurtle past our planet in around two weeks time. The 2002 AJ129 asteroid has been classed a ‘potentially hazardous’ by Nasa and will fly past at speeds of 67,000mph (107,826kmh). This makes it nearly 15 times faster than the world’s quickest manned aircraft – the … Continue reading
MIT Astronomer Claims Mysterious Gamma Rays are Alien Messages
Gamma rays may be most famous for creating The Incredible Hulk, but outside of the world of fiction, they’re a fantastic source of discussion among scientists who are trying to uncover the mysteries of the stars. Gamma radiation can travel a long distance, and can potentially prove harmful under the right conditions, but its longevity means that it gives us … Continue reading
Large ‘House-sized’ Asteroid With ‘Uncertain Trajectory’ Will Fly Close to Earth Next Week
Unlike that false alarm in Hawaii, this potentially cataclysmic piece of news is real: an asteroid between 22 and 68 meters in diameter is going to swing past Earth on January 23 at around 12,300 miles an hour (around Mach 16). It’s going to come within 1.1 million miles of Earth, but it’s unclear whether its trajectory will cause it to hit Earth or fly past harmlessly. … Continue reading
Will 2018 be the Year We First ‘See’ A Black Hole Directly?
The Event Horizon Telescope has come online and taken its data. Now, we wait for the results. Black holes are some of the most incredible objects in the Universe. There are places where so much mass has gathered in such a tiny volume that the individual matter particles cannot remain as they normally are, and instead collapse down to a … Continue reading

The Sanskrit Effect: Reciting Sanskrit Chants Shown to Boost Cognitive Regions in the Brain
A study published in the journal Scientific American has concluded that rigorous memorizing and chanting of verses from the ancient Hindu scriptures in the Sanskrit language helps a person’s memory by increasing the size of the brain’s regions that are associated with cognitive functions. Dr. James Hartzell of the University of Trento and his colleagues from Italy teamed up with … Continue reading
Scientists Have Implanted ‘Human Brain Cell’ Material into Rats; Raises Ethics Concerns
Scientists have implanted human-like brain tissue in lab rats. Tiny human brains injected into rats have sparked a major ethical debate among scientists worried it may give the rodents some type of human consciousness. Esteemed science ethicists claim the experiments might reach a point where the test lab rats will be “entitled to some kind of respect”. Advances in science … Continue reading
Meteorites Found to Contain ‘Life Starting Ingredients’
Ever wonder if perhaps some of the world’s governments may already have definitive proof of life existing on asteroids that have landed on Earth (life even in the basic sense) but have withheld it from the public? Take a look at this line from the article: “There is also evidence to suggest that some of the organic matter may have … Continue reading
