NASA’s InSight Lander Senses Martian Wind
NASA’s InSight lander who’s main mission is to study the deep interior of the red planet, arrived on Mars on November 26, 2018. But already there are some unexpected surprises… The spacecraft’s seismometer and air pressure sensor picked up vibrations from 10-15 mph (16-24 kph) winds as they blew across Mars’ Elysium Planitia on Dec. 1, 2018. The seismometer readings … Continue reading
Scientists Discover ‘Zombie’ Bacteria Deep Inside the Earth
It would seem sensible to assume life would only be thriving where we dwell on the surface of our planet and even oceans, but deep below the surface? It truly makes you begin to realize that life could easily exist elsewhere in our solar system and even throughout the universe even if only in such a basic form. via Yahoo … Continue reading
NASA Confirms Voyager 2 Has Entered Interstellar Space
NASA has confirmed that the probe has become the second spacecraft ever to leave the heliosphere. Launched in 1977, both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have traveled further from the Earth than any other man-made object in history and remain fully operational despite 40 years of traveling through space. Their original mission to visit the four gas giants was made … Continue reading

How ALL of Mankind Descended from ONE Couple 200,000 Years Ago
Are we all related? via Express UK: Scientists claim MODERN humans descended from a single couple who mated up to 200,000 years ago. The stunning conclusion was reached by researchers who surveyed millions of genetic ‘bar codes’ of 100,000 different species – including humans – and believe that one particular union resulted in billions of humans being born through centuries. … Continue reading
Prehistoric Cave ‘Art’ Suggest Knowledge of Astronomy and Catastrophic Meteor Showers
Some of the world’s oldest cave paintings have revealed how ancient people had relatively advanced knowledge of astronomy. The artworks, at sites across Europe, are not simply depictions of wild animals, as was previously thought. Instead, the animal symbols represent star constellations in the night sky, and are used to represent dates and mark events such as comet strikes, analysis … Continue reading
Scientists Use ‘Radio Search’ to Detect Artificial Emissions from ‘Oumuamua
First discovered in October 2017, intergalactic object ‘Oumuamua continues to intrigue! via phys.org: It’s the first time a visitor from another star system has been seen nearby. But what is it? An asteroid, a comet … or an alien artifact? Scientists at the SETI Institute have attempted to address this question by using the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to observe … Continue reading
NASA Probe Arrives at Asteroid Bennu Which Could Strike Earth One Day
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx probe which was launched in 2016 has pulled up alongside an asteroid that could one day strike Earth. A 2010 dynamical study by Andrea Milani and collaborators predicted a series of eight potential Earth impacts by Bennu between 2169 and 2199. – wikipedia via unexplained-mysteries: Part of NASA’s ongoing New Frontiers Program, the spacecraft has travelled 2 billion … Continue reading
Scientists Claim to Have Found Source of Strange Seismic Rumbling
On November 11, 2018 there was a strange rumble that echoed through the entire planet (see it here if you missed it – Strange Seismic Waves Picked up Circling the Earth on November 11, Seismologists Stumped) and was picked up by seismic instruments all over the world leaving scientist baffled for the moment.

Astronomers Baffled by Bizarre Solar System
Four gargantuan planets have been observed orbiting a relatively young star approximately 500 light years away. Known as CI Tau, the star, despite being a mere two million years old, seems to have acquired a perplexing array of gas giants with the most extreme range of orbits astronomers have ever seen. The largest (and closest) planet is eleven times the … Continue reading
