Strange Radio Signal is Coming from Inside our Galaxy
Leah Crane via New Scientist For the first time, we have tracked a strange blast of radio waves – called a fast radio burst – back to its source, solving a major cosmic mystery. The burst came from a magnetar, which is a neutron star with a strong magnetic field. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are incredibly powerful flashes of … Continue reading
What If Apophis Hits Us In 2029?
There are millions of asteroids floating in our Solar System. Every year thousands of meteorites weighing about a pound fall on Earth. Usually we don’t see them, because they land in uninhabited forests or the ocean. However, in 2004 scientists discovered a really dangerous asteroid in space weighing more than 20-million-tons or 40-billion-pounds. The first observations show it has a … Continue reading
Massive Black Hole Discovered
Astronomers are always looking at the universe and discovering new planets, stars, and other amazing things that blow our minds. Now scientists have recently found an incredibly bright and mysterious light that is nearly as old as the universe itself! But what is it that they found? And why is the light from this massive object so bright? In 2019, … Continue reading
Earth-Sized Rogue Planet Discovered in Our Galaxy
By Chris Ciaccia | Fox News Scientists have discovered another rogue planet, but this one has even experts perplexed: It’s slightly smaller than Earth and is floating through the Milky Way. The potential exoplanet likely has a mass similar to Mars, researchers said in the study published on the arXiv.org repository. Though rogue planets (those without stars) have been discovered … Continue reading
Coronavirus Antibodies Fade After Initial Wave, Casting Doubt over Immunity Hopes – UK Study
New research has found that coronavirus antibodies drop substantially over a short period following the initial wave of infection, casting yet more doubt over the possibility of herd immunity. A major study led by Imperial College London, involving 365,000 participants in England and conducted between 20 June and 28 September, showed the number of people testing positive for antibodies fell … Continue reading
NASA Finds WATER Spread Out across Moon’s Sunlit Surface
The US space agency confirmed it has found indisputable proof of something that was previously considered impossible – “massive hydration” of the Moon’s sunlit surface by water, that still only exists as separate molecules. NASA announced that its latest study has helped to resolve the mystery of whether water exists on the Moon once and for all. It is not … Continue reading
8 Newly Discovered Asteroids Flew Past Earth Closer Than the Moon in 6 Days
Some time ago (around 2011) I read an article which stated that our solar system (which obviously includes our Earth), would be entering an area of space that is more densely populated with space rocks. The article noted that we would not notice the changes overnight, but rather slowly and gradually over the coming years… could this be what we … Continue reading
Species of Tardigrade Absorbs Lethal UV Radiation and Emits Blue Light
I suspect Tardigrades may have originated from outside of Earth, read and see what you think. via The Guardian: Nicola Davis The Guardian They might be tiny creatures with a comical appearance, but tardigrades are one of life’s great survivors. Now scientists say they have found a new species boasting an unexpected piece of armour: a protective fluorescent shield. Also … Continue reading
Scientist Creates Camera that Films in 3D and at Ultra High Speeds, Fast Enough to Capture Light Traveling
A scientist has created a new ultra high speed camera that films in 3D and can capture lightwaves as they move. The impressive machine may help us unravel one of physics’ greatest mysteries. Lihong Wang’s invention is an improvement on his original camera design, which could capture 70 trillion frames per second in 2D. The Caltech scientist announced his original … Continue reading
