Astronomers Discover Nearby Planet That’s Almost as Old as the Universe
“There could even be alien civilizations that have existed for longer than our entire solar system.” via Unexplained-Mysteries Astronomers have identified a nearby extrasolar world that is not only terrestrial in nature, but also ancient. Situated a mere 280 light years from the Earth in orbit around the orange dwarf TOI-561 – one of our galaxy’s oldest stars – this … Continue reading
Mars’ Poles Moving Around Due to Mysterious ‘Wobble’
Like a teetering top, Mars refuses to rotate on a straight axis. By Brandon Specktor Vvia livescience The Red Planet is wiggling and wobbling as it spins, research in the journal Geophysical Research Letters confirms, and astronomers have no idea why. Like a toy top that teeters as it loses speed, the poles of Mars are wandering ever-so-slightly away from … Continue reading
Harvard Professor Says ‘Oumuamua Was Alien Tech’
Is this his genuine belief, or just a strategy to cash in? But what if he is genuine in the belief, and what if he is right?!! via unexplained-mysteries: A Harvard University professor of astronomy believes that the visiting space rock was actually built by aliens. The 400-meter-long object, which flew past our planet back in October 2017, became the … Continue reading
Astronomers Attempt to Identify Wise Men’s ‘Star of Bethlehem’ from Christmas Gospel Story
by Morgan Artyukhina via Sputniknews Every Christmas nativity scene includes wise men who brought exotic gifts to the baby Jesus in a Bethlehem manger, guided by a special star. For centuries, astronomers have pondered over the story, turning a scientific eye at what exactly appeared in the sky over ancient Judea. It’s a key part of the Christmas story: according … Continue reading
Strange Signal Detected Coming from our Closest Neighboring Star
Only four light years away, and it’s about the same size as Earth… and now we get a mystery signal, so aliens? By Jon Fingas via Yahoo News Astronomers have encountered a mystery surprisingly close to Earth. The Guardian and Scientific American have learned that Breakthrough Listen astronomers using the Parkes telescope in Australia discovered a strange radio signal coming … Continue reading
Astronomers Discover a “Twin” Planet to the Mysterious, Long-Predicted Planet Nine
By NICOLE KARLIS via Salon.com Of all the planets that humans have discovered in other solar systems, most of them orbit close and tight to their parent star. That’s partially due to the selection effect: the easiest-to-spot exoplanets (meaning a planet outside of our solar system) are those that are close enough to their star (or stars). Hence, finding a … Continue reading

The development raises the prospect of rapidly sending crafts across vast swathes of space. … Continue reading
Unusual Deep Space Signals in Antarctica May Indicate Existence of Parallel Universe
Stephen Ornes via Astronomy Last spring, a report from the world’s largest neutrino telescope — a sprawling grid of detectors woven into Antarctica’s ice — coincided with a blaze of hyperbolic headlines. They teased the possibility of an anti-universe where, from our point of view, time runs backward and the Big Bang represents an end, not a beginning. While it’s … Continue reading
Radiation from Big Bang Translated into Binary to See if There’s a Message from “The Creator”
James Felton IFL Science Back in 2006, in a piece published in Modern Physics Letters, two physicists proposed that if a “Creator” of the universe exists, and they were the kind of creator that felt like leaving a message for intelligent beings to eventually discover, then the cosmic microwave background would be a “stupendous” place to place it. Now, an … Continue reading
Amateur Astronomer Alberto Caballero May Have Found Source of Wow! Signal
This is an incredible development. This study suggests the source of the ‘WOW! signal’ may have come from a planet similar to Earth circling its own sun-like star! Bob Yirka via Phys.org Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero, one of the founders of The Exoplanets Channel, has found a small amount of evidence for a source of the notorious Wow! … Continue reading
