Signs of Liquid Found on One of Solar System’s Most Likely Candidates for Extraterrestrial Life
“…it could also mean that there could be water elsewhere on Jupiter’s icy satellite, potentially increasing chances of discovering life there.” via sputniknews Headline Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SETI Institute Among the Solar System’s most likely candidates for potentially hosting life are the icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn – Europa and Enceladus respectively. Scientists from Stanford University have suggested that weird double … Continue reading
Data From US Space Command Suggests Interstellar Object Reached Earth Years Ago – Media
“…the meteor exploded in the sky near Papua New Guinea back in January 2014, and it is possible that it “sprinkled interstellar debris” into the ocean.” by Andrei Dargalin via Sputniknews photo credit: Wikimedia Commons The meteor exploded in the sky near Papua New Guinea in 2014, and possibly ended up depositing “interstellar debris” in the ocean. Material originating from … Continue reading
Pluto Has Giant Ice Volcanoes that Could Hint at the Possibility of Life
“Pluto once had a subsurface ocean, and finding these ice volcanoes could suggest that the subsurface ocean is still present — and that liquid water could be close to the surface. Combined with the idea that Pluto has a warmer interior than previously believed, the findings raise intriguing questions about the dwarf planet’s potential habitability.” by Ashley Strickland CNN via … Continue reading
Nearby Star Could Explain Why Our Sun Didn’t Have Sunspots for 70 Years
“Astronomers have been documenting changes in starspot frequency on our sun since they were first observed by Galileo and other astronomers in the 1600s, so there is a good record of its 11-year cycle. The exception is the Maunder minimum, which lasted from the mid 1600s to early 1700s and has perplexed astronomers ever since.” by Gail McCormick, Pennsylvania State … Continue reading
Mysterious Dwarf Planet Ceres May Have Originated in Outer Regions of Solar System, Study Says
“They believe that Ceres formed on the cold edges of the Solar System, somewhere beyond Saturn, and that it during the reshuffling of the outer planets got planted in the asteroid belt.” by Max Gorbachev via Sputniknews Image: © NASA . NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA Named after the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, Ceres is part of an asteroid belt that lies … Continue reading
Caltech Finds Two Supermassive Black Holes Set to Collide, Warping Space & Time
“The mass of each of the supermassive black holes is hundreds of millions of times that of our Sun.” by Kirill Kurevlev via sputniknews Image: © ESO/L. Calçada © ESO/L. Calçada The object in space that showed evidence of the future collision is called a quasar. Quasars are galaxies’ active cores, where a supermassive black hole sucks material from a … Continue reading
Why the Moon Could Cause the End of the World By 2030
“Scientists have predicted that the moon could cause us some serious problems in (or around) the year 2030! This has inspired so many headlines claiming that the apocalypse is coming… but is that REALLY what’s happening? In this video, Unveiled takes a closer look at the moon’s relationship with Earth, to find out how one “wobble” could make all the … Continue reading
Vatican Observatory Announces Discovery of ‘Trans-Neptunian Object’
The object, which was first detected in early December last year and announced last week, is classified as a “trans-Neptunian object” because it orbits the sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune, the furthest planet from the sun. by Jonah McKeown via Catholic News Agency The Vatican Observatory recently announced the discovery of an object orbiting the sun … Continue reading
First Ever Discovery of Wandering Black Hole in Our Galaxy
“The celestial object is said to be traveling at approximately 45 kilometers (28 miles) per second and is located some 5,200 light-years away from Earth.” via RT Image: A compact black hole and the star orbiting it, located in the NGC 1850 cluster of stars on November 11, 2021 © AFP / Handout/European Southern Observatory/AFP Astronomers from the Space Telescope … Continue reading
