A Star in Our Galaxy is on the Brink of a Massive Gamma-ray Supernova Explosion
Just as a meteor or comet strike is inevitable, so too is an event such as this… it is just a matter of time! via RT: A star 8,000 light years from Earth is on the verge of a huge supernova explosion, which could produce the Milky Way’s first gamma-ray explosion, a dangerous and extremely energetic event. Australian scientists at … Continue reading
China Creates Nuclear-Powered Artificial Sun that is Hotter Than the Real Star
Whenever I see this type of experiment carried out, successfully or not, I always think of how this could easily go so wrong for all of us. via RT: Chinese researchers pushing to find a major clean energy source have created an incredible artificial sun that can reach temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius – a heat so intense it … Continue reading
Dogs Seem to Have Lost the Ability to Make Up After Conflicts
Interesting find, I wonder if this might indicate a loss of intelligence in some areas as well, since it seems likely that intelligence and reasoning might play a part in being able to overcome conflicts. via unexplained-mysteries: A new study has revealed that, unlike wolves, dogs seem to have lost the ability to reconcile after a fight. The research, which … Continue reading
Second-Closest Super Earth Discovered
Astronomers have revealed the discovery of a ‘super-Earth’ around a star that is a mere six light years away. Believed to be approximately three times the mass of our own planet, this icy extrasolar world orbits Barnard’s star at around the same distance as Mercury orbits the Sun in our own solar system. The discovery is particularly important because planets … Continue reading
Declassified Navy Documents Reveal A Solar Storm Detonated Dozens of US Sea Mines
An extraordinary account of the impact space weather had on military operations in Vietnam in 1972 was found buried in the US Navy archives, according to a newly published article in Space Weather. On August 4, 1972, the crew of a US Task Force 77 aircraft flying near a naval minefield in the waters off Hon La observed 20 to … Continue reading
Dark Matter ‘Hurricane’ to Batter Earth for the Next Million Years
Yowsa! RT As California burns, the Gulf Coast rebuilds and Indonesia is still reeling from a tsunami, what else could possibly go wrong? Well, apparently a ‘hurricane’ of dark matter travelling at 500 kilometers per second (310 mps). Scientists studying the nature of gravity and the movement of stars and planets discovered that the space between galaxies contains something else … Continue reading
Astronomers Discover Black Hole that ‘May be Spinning Space Itself’
Astronomers using India’s astronomy satellite have found a black hole which is spinning so fast it could be spinning space itself. While the idea is surreal, it’s based on Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity – and understanding the ‘spin’ of the black hole could be key to grasping how galaxies formed. Astronomers found that the black hole the binary star … Continue reading
Author of ‘Oumuamua Alien Craft’ Explains His Theory
The astronomer also said that the rock being a visitor from another star system makes it a very fascinating case to scientists, noting that it’s unfortunate that mankind simply does not have the technology to chase it down. Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who earlier suggested that space rock Oumuamua might be an alien craft, … Continue reading
Strange Dust Cloud Discovered Orbiting Earth
For decades the existence of weird space clouds in Earth’s orbit has been speculative and controversial, but new research looks to validate their strange reality after all. The Kordylewski clouds – two mysterious swarms of dust trapped between the competing gravitational fields of Earth and the Moon – were first hypothesised back in the 1950s, although evidence for their existence was faint.For … Continue reading
Researchers Consider Laser ‘Beacon’ to Attract Aliens
In our unending struggle to find out if we are alone in the universe we continually seek to find ways to make it easier to be seen just in case there is someone out there looking back. via unexplained-mysteries: A new MIT study has proposed a way to not only attract alien astronomers, but also to communicate with them. In … Continue reading
