A Meteorite Recently Slammed into Mars and Left this Giant Crater
Like Earth, planet Mars is a shooting gallery for rogue space rocks that zip around at tens of thousands of miles per hour. But the red planet has barely 1% of the atmosphere of Earth’s to slow down, vaporize, and break up any of these stray lumps of stone and metal. It also lacks the flowing surface water and robust … Continue reading
2 ‘Monster Black Holes’ Discovered in Nearby Galaxies
Scientists have discovered supermassive black holes at the center of two nearby galaxies that had long evaded detection thanks to both the angle of the objects relative to the Earth and the large clouds of stellar gas that shroud them. Described by NASA as “monster black holes,” they’re considered to be the engines of two “active galactic nuclei,” a class … Continue reading

Stellar Collision: A New Star Will Be Visible on Earth
“If the prediction is correct, then for the first time in history, parents will be able to point to a dark spot in the sky and say, ‘Watch, kids, there’s a star hiding in there, but soon it’s going to light up.’” Calvin College Dean Matt Walhout touted the discovery by one of his professors in a press release. Coming … Continue reading
The Sun May Be Busting Asteroids into Tiny Pieces
While NASA struggles to find ways to destroy asteroids and meteors before they crash into the Earth, the Sun is doing its part by ripping asteroids apart at their cosmic seams and casting their tiny pieces into the solar wind. Should NASA try bumping space objects into a tight solar orbit so they get bumped off by the Sun? Here’s … Continue reading
A Star Came Within 0.8 Light-Years Of Our Sun 70,000 Years Ago

(Credit: Michael Osadciw/University of Rochester) An international team of astronomers has identified a star that passed through the outer reaches of the Oort Cloud some 70,000 years ago. It came within a distance of 0.8 light-years, making it the closest known … Continue reading
Chili Pepper Showed to Be an Effective Weapon Against Cancer
Recent research conducted by German scientists has revealed that the active component in chilies, capsaicin, can cause cancer cells to self-destruct. Capsaicin is the compound that gives chilies their special kick, but while it can easily make some people cry from its fiery taste, it could also be used to cure various types of cancer, including that of the breast, … Continue reading
First Contact? Earth Being Hit by Mind-Blowingly Powerful Radio Burst Every 10 seconds Coming From Distant Dwarf Galaxy
The ongoing MYSTERIOUS pulses of radio energy more powerful than 10,000 suns picked up by astronomers have now been linked to a dwarf galaxy discovered more than three billion light years away. Fast Radio Burst (FRB) are highly energetic but very short-lived bursts of radio waves lasting no more than a millisecond. The flickers of light, which were first discovered … Continue reading
NASA Warns Two Asteroids OR Comets to Pass by Earth…But They’re Not Sure Which
NASA has revealed that TWO celestial objects are approaching Earth and are currently zooming through the solar system. An asteroid and potentially a comet are hurtling towards Earth Two objects are currently hurtling towards Earth’s orbit and will come close to Earth in January and February. One of the bodies is a comet known as C/2016 U1 NEOWISE, which was … Continue reading
Astronomers Propose New Technique to Discover Alien Life
A team of scientists from the University of Colorado say that they may be able to search for signs of life on alien planets sooner than expected. Previously, astronomers did not expect to be able to examine distant worlds for signs of life until the 2030s, but a new technique may allow for detailed investigation within the next five years. … Continue reading
