New Tesla Roadster to be Equipped with Thrusters, ‘Fly’ Like the DeLorean
According to Elon Musk, the upcoming supercar will have thrusters enabling it to fly through the air. Due to go in to production in 2020, Tesla’s latest Roadster model will be so advanced that it will reportedly be capable of hovering above the road much like the DeLorean in Back to the Future. The cutting-edge feature will be available as … Continue reading
Asteroid Defense Mission Sees Expanded Objectives
As we see what appears to be an ongoing increase in sightings of meteor fireball, perhaps efforts need to be doubled up. via Unexplained-Mysteries: Two cubesats will be accompanying a joint NASA/ESA mission to slam a test probe in to the side of an asteroid. Known as AIDA (Asteroid Deflection and Impact Assessment), the mission consists of two parts. The … Continue reading
Neanderthal Genes Influenced Skull Shape of Modern Humans
Neanderthal genes influence human head shape Research suggests the effects of long-distant interspecies breeding finds expression in modern skulls. Researchers have gleaned insights into what makes human brains bulbous from our closest evolutionary relative – the Neanderthal – despite them having died out millennia ago, according to an analysis in the journal Current Biology. Neanderthals and anatomically modern Homo sapiens … Continue reading
Newly Discovered Planet K2-288Bb Lies Within Habitable Zone, Liquid Water Possible
NASA’s Kepler space telescope ran out of fuel in October last year. Data gathered during the course of its scientific mission, however, paved way to the discovery of a new exoplanet. Planet K2-288Bb The newly identified planet dubbed K2-288Bb is twice the size of the Earth. It lies within its host star’s habitable zone, which means the planet may have … Continue reading
Scientist that Performed Gene-edited on Babies Under House Arrest
This is a great indicator of how this technology can so easily get out of hand. via Unexplained-Mysteries: The scientist responsible for creating the world’s first genetically edited babies is facing serious repercussions. Late last year, it was reported that an HIV-positive woman in China had given birth to two baby girls who had undergone gene editing in an effort … Continue reading
NASA Study Suggests Earth May be Hiding Signs of Extinct Extraterrestrial Life
Very interesting study by NASA. Could this be yet another passive way of preparing us for an official announcement sometime in the future which confirms the existence of extraterrestrial life? aia Sputniknews: Most scientists currently prefer to focus on exploring distant star systems, not Earth, in their search for intelligent extraterrestrial organisms. The latest NASA study seems to prove research … Continue reading
Chinese Chang’e 4 Probe Sends 1st PHOTO of Moon’s ‘Mysterious’ Far Side
China’s Chang’e 4 space probe has relayed its first image of the far side of the moon back to Earth, revealing a rocky surface blemished by small potholes and what appears to be a large crater. The history-making photograph marks the first time that a manmade craft has landed on the ‘dark side’ of the moon. The mission was complicated … Continue reading
China’s Lunar Craft Preps for Humanity’s 1st-Ever Dark Side Landing
Orbiting the moon, China’s Chang’e 4 lunar lander has moved into position in preparation for mankind’s first landing on the far side of Earth’s only natural satellite. In entering its planned orbit on Sunday, the Chinese spacecraft will “prepare for the first-ever soft landing on the far side of the moon,” stated the China National Space Administration, cited by the … Continue reading
Strangest Scientific Findings in 2018 – Memory Formation Resembles a Viral Infection
According to two papers published in Cell on January 11, 2018, the making of memories and the processes of learning resemble, of all things, a viral infection. It works like this: The shells that transport information between neurons are assembled by a gene called Arc. Experiments conducted by two research teams revealed that the Arc protein that forms a shell, functions much … Continue reading
Water on Mars – ESA Shares Images of Martian Ice Crater
The European Space Agency has shared an incredible composite image showing a 50-mile wide crater on Mars that is filled with water ice all year long. Budding future colonists hoping for a white Christmas on Mars will be somewhat disappointed as the ESA has confirmed that sitting in the Korolev crater is, in fact, a thick block of water ice, … Continue reading
