Astronomers May Have Found the First Moon Outside of Our Solar System
A team of astronomers has potentially discovered the first known moon beyond the Solar System. If confirmed, the “exomoon” is likely to be about the size and mass of Neptune, and circles a planet the size of Jupiter but with 10 times the mass. The signal was detected by Nasa’s Kepler Space Telescope; astronomers now plan to carry out follow-up … Continue reading
Facebook AI Invents A Language Only They Can Understand, Experiment Shut Down
This story is not new but seems to be making the rounds again so we figured we’d share another recent version in case you missed it. If you’d like to check out the one we ran a little while back here it is: AI Chatbots Invented A Creepy Non-Human Language On Their Own via unexplained-mysteries: Facebook was forced to shut … Continue reading
We’re All Made of ‘Stuff’ That Came From Far Across the Universe
The atoms that make up your body have travelled across the cosmos. A new study has revealed that half of the atoms that make up our bodies have come from beyond the galaxy. One of legendary astronomer Carl Sagan’s most famous quotes states: “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon … Continue reading
Scientists Decode DNA; See and Touch the Force That Gives Us Life
People have never been closer to actually SEEING how life of all possible organic forms in the Universe, including in human, functions at the most basic level. To appreciate the importance of this discovery, let’s first recall that the life-forming chemical element hydrogen (H) is the most abundant in the Universe. Consisting of just one proton and one electron, it … Continue reading
NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft Detects Building Blocks of Life on Titan
WOW! via unexplained-mysteries: Titan is continuing to surprise scientists. Saturn’s mysterious moon Titan may be a lot more habitable than scientists had previously believed. Titan is a place that, on the outset, appears to possess many things that seem uncannily familiar – oceans, rivers, snow-capped mountains and even an active weather system. Take a closer look however and it soon … Continue reading
Potentially Habitable ‘Starless’ Earth Sized Planets Roam Darkness of Space

‘Angel Particle’ Discovery Could Lead to 100 MILLION Times Faster Computers
SCIENTISTS have made a major breakthrough after discovering an ‘Angel particle’ which has been theorised about for 80 years and could lead to a technological revolution that will make your modern day Mac seem like the very first Commodore computer. At the very beginning of the universe, the Big Bang created equal parts matter and anti-matter, so scientists believe. If … Continue reading
A Lifeless Mars? Study Says Red Planet Is Deadlier Than Previously Thought
Back in 1971, David Bowie famously posed the question, “is there life on Mars?” While many experts have thought the answer could be yes, a new study reveals this is unlikely – unless it’s hiding way underneath the cold planet’s surface. In lab tests conducted by Jennifer Wadsworth and Charles Cockell from the University of Edinburgh, chemical compounds called perchlorates … Continue reading
