All Clear Given by NASA: Earth Safe from this Dangerous Asteroid for 100 years
By MARCIA DUNN Associate Press via Yahoonews Whew, now here’s some good cosmic news: NASA has given Earth the all clear for the next century from a particularly menacing asteroid. The space agency announced this week that new telescope observations have ruled out any chance of Apophis smacking Earth in 2068. That’s the same 1,100-foot (340-meter) space rock that was … Continue reading
Nearest Star cluster to Earth is Being RIPPED APART by Something Massive We Can’t See
A blackhole perhaps? via RT Headline Image: © WikiImages from Pixabay New analysis of data from one of humanity’s most powerful space observatories, Gaia, suggests that the nearest star cluster to Earth is being torn asunder by the phenomenal gravity of a massive object we cannot see. Astronomer Tereza Jerabkova and her colleagues from the European Space Agency and the … Continue reading
A Distant Star Exploded, Went Nova and is Visible from Earth Right Now
I’m still waiting/hoping for Betelgeuse to explode! But in the meantime, this is pretty cool! via RT: Headline Image:© Yuji Nakamura/NAOJ Japanese amateur astronomer Yuji Nakamura was lucky enough to witness the aftermath of a star exploding some 10,000 light years from Earth using only his trusty telescope. Nakamura observed the stellar explosion on March 18, 2021 using his 135-millimeter … Continue reading
Astronomers Find Hazardous High-Energy Solar Particles in the Sun that Could Threaten Earth
By UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Image Credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center The source of potentially hazardous solar particles, released from the Sun at high speed during storms in its outer atmosphere, has been located for the first time by researchers at UCL and George Mason University, Virginia, USA. These particles are highly charged and, if they reach Earth’s atmosphere, can potentially … Continue reading
New Study Challenges Elusive Planet X Theory
by Andrei Dergalin via Sputniknews The scientists pointed out that their work does not “explicitly rule out” the hypothetical planet’s existence, but rather shows that “there is no evidence to rule out the null hypothesis.” A team of scientists from Cornell University, led by Kevin Napier, has released a new, yet to be peer reviewed study that disputes evidence of … Continue reading
Asteroid Roughly the Size of the Golden Gate Bridge to Zoom Past Earth in March
As it leaves safely (hopefully) after the visit in March, if we listen carefully we might just hear, “I’ll be back”. When it loops back in 2029, it’ll be much closer! By Nate Schwartz via deseret Asteroid 99942, a cosmic rock roughly the size of the Golden Gate Bridge, will zoom past Earth on March 21. Scientists first spotted the … Continue reading

Potentially Habitable Planet Candidate May Have been Discovered Near Alpha Centauri
by Andrei Dergalin via sputniknews While the researchers have apparently managed to establish the suspected planet’s rough size and how far it is away from its host star, their discovery still requires confirmation. An exoplanet candidate that may be capable of sustaining life has been located in the star system closest to Earth – Alpha Centauri. According to space.com, the … Continue reading
Researchers May Have Heard The ‘Humming Sound’ Of The Universe For The First Time Ever!
BY MASHABLE NEWS STAFF via mashable Scientists at the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) have detected, what seems to be, the ‘resonant hum’ (also referred to as the ‘gravitational wave background’) of the universe for the first time. The findings of the sound detected have been published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. NANOGrav has published the details … Continue reading
Physicist Proposes Human-Populated Mega-Satellite Orbiting Ceres
by Bob Yirka viaPhys.org Physicist Pekka Janhunen with the Finnish Meteorological Institute has developed a novel idea to colonize a place other than the Earth—and it is not the moon or Mars. Instead, Janhunen is suggesting in a paper posted on the arXiv preprint server that humans populate a giant satellite that orbits Ceres, a dwarf planet in the asteroid … Continue reading
