NASA’s Curiosity Rover Takes Photos of Mushroom Growing on Mars
The finding, along with the pictures themselves, has been subjected to an extensive peer review, and the majority of researchers appear to support the hypothesis. An array of new snapshots purporting to sport “Martian mushrooms” have assured scientists that there is life on the Red Planet, with the 15 images by NASA’s Curiosity Rover becoming central in a new study … Continue reading
Astronomers May Have Figured Out Jupiter’s Mysterious Origins
Jupiter’s anomalous size and location in our Solar System has been puzzling researchers for years, since it doesn’t fit with our understanding of planetary formation. Now, astronomers think they’ve figured out how the gas giant ended up in its curious position. According to current models, giant planets form in the outer reaches of a system, migrate inwards, and end up … Continue reading
Humans May Be Able to Sense Earth’s Magnetic Field
Scientists now believe that humans, like birds, may be able to sense the Earth’s magnetic field. It might sound like something out of a comic book, but according to a team of researchers from the US and Japan, there are indications that humans possess a rudimentary form of magnetoreception. In a recent experiment, a number of volunteers were sat inside … Continue reading
Earth is Closer to Mercury than to Venus On Average
In a conclusion likely to provoke more than one bar fight, researchers at Physics Today have crunched the numbers and found that the closest planet to Earth is, on average, not Venus, as we’ve been taught, but Mercury. We’ve all learned this one in school, right? “My very excellent mother just served us nine pizzas.” The planets get further apart … Continue reading
There May Be Billions of Undetected ‘Rogue Planets’ Roaming Our Galaxy
We tend to believe that our solar system with our Sun and the Earth and other planets orbiting around it is the how all planets exist, orbiting their parent star. However, every so often astronomers get get a glimpse of a whole other scenario – rogue planets, not attached to any star or system, drifting lonely through the galaxy. “Now … Continue reading
Scientists Reveal Secret of Consciousness: Where THE MIND Lives Inside Your Brain
In a ground breaking study scientist have identified the exact location of the mind which gives us consciousness. Experts have edged closer to finally explaining how humans have consciousness in what is one of the greatest mysteries known to man. The brain remains a baffling subject, with scientists having more knowledge of the universe than they do the human brain. … Continue reading
Synthetic DNA Breakthrough Offers Hint at Just How Exotic Alien Life Might Be
Scientists have synthesized a molecular system that hints at a possible alternative to DNA-based life. The NASA-funded research aimed to explore the theoretical foundations of life on other worlds by developing alternative ways to store and transmit genetic information. Lead by Steven Benner at the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Alachua, Florida, the team succeeded in fabricating a DNA … Continue reading
Perplexing Physics: A Comparison of Black Holes
“A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.” – Wikipedia IF YOU ENJOY THIS SITE PLEASE TELL OTHERS ABOUT US…SHARING IS CARING … Continue reading
Scientists Suggest Binary Systems Could Increase Prospects for Alien Life
Earth-like planets in the so-called Goldilocks Zone are considered prime candidates for the discovery of alien life. The Goldilocks Zone describes a region of space in a solar system where conditions are neither too hot or too cold but just right. These conditions are considered crucial for the development of life because they allow liquid water to exist but are … Continue reading
Subterranean Craters on Mars Could Mean Ancient Aliens
Mars may be a red desert now, but billions of years ago, it was probably a lush world that may have even been teeming with life. Water on Mars isn’t exactly a new thing. The surface is covered in evidence of what were once rivers, and a subterranean lake even lurks beneath the south pole — but now the first … Continue reading
