Tree Rings May Hold Clues to Impacts of Supernovas on Earth
Daniel Strain University of Colorado Boulder Massive explosions of energy happening thousands of light-years from Earth may have left traces in our planet’s biology and geology, according to new research by CU Boulder geoscientist Robert Brakenridge. The study, published this month in the International Journal of Astrobiology, probes the impacts of supernovas, some of the most violent events in the … Continue reading
Asteroid Apophis Speeding up Due to Sunlight, Odds of 2068 Impact Being Recalculated
Elizabeth Howell Space.com Astronomers say they’ll have to keep an eye on the near-Earth asteroid Apophis to see how much of a danger the space rock poses to our planet during a close pass in 2068. But don’t panic: The chances of an impact still seem very low. Under certain circumstances, the sun can heat an asteroid unevenly, causing the … Continue reading
Strange Radio Signal is Coming from Inside our Galaxy
Leah Crane via New Scientist For the first time, we have tracked a strange blast of radio waves – called a fast radio burst – back to its source, solving a major cosmic mystery. The burst came from a magnetar, which is a neutron star with a strong magnetic field. Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are incredibly powerful flashes of … Continue reading
What If Apophis Hits Us In 2029?
There are millions of asteroids floating in our Solar System. Every year thousands of meteorites weighing about a pound fall on Earth. Usually we don’t see them, because they land in uninhabited forests or the ocean. However, in 2004 scientists discovered a really dangerous asteroid in space weighing more than 20-million-tons or 40-billion-pounds. The first observations show it has a … Continue reading
Massive Black Hole Discovered
Astronomers are always looking at the universe and discovering new planets, stars, and other amazing things that blow our minds. Now scientists have recently found an incredibly bright and mysterious light that is nearly as old as the universe itself! But what is it that they found? And why is the light from this massive object so bright? In 2019, … Continue reading
NASA Finds WATER Spread Out across Moon’s Sunlit Surface
The US space agency confirmed it has found indisputable proof of something that was previously considered impossible – “massive hydration” of the Moon’s sunlit surface by water, that still only exists as separate molecules. NASA announced that its latest study has helped to resolve the mystery of whether water exists on the Moon once and for all. It is not … Continue reading
Species of Tardigrade Absorbs Lethal UV Radiation and Emits Blue Light
I suspect Tardigrades may have originated from outside of Earth, read and see what you think. via The Guardian: Nicola Davis The Guardian They might be tiny creatures with a comical appearance, but tardigrades are one of life’s great survivors. Now scientists say they have found a new species boasting an unexpected piece of armour: a protective fluorescent shield. Also … Continue reading

Scientist Creates Camera that Films in 3D and at Ultra High Speeds, Fast Enough to Capture Light Traveling
A scientist has created a new ultra high speed camera that films in 3D and can capture lightwaves as they move. The impressive machine may help us unravel one of physics’ greatest mysteries. Lihong Wang’s invention is an improvement on his original camera design, which could capture 70 trillion frames per second in 2D. The Caltech scientist announced his original … Continue reading
Russian Military Satellite and Chinese Rocket May Collide with Dire Consequences for Our Future in Space
For the second time in 2020, space boffins are warning of a potential collision in low-Earth orbit which could create thousands of pieces of shrapnel, threatening satellites, communications and future manned missions. Space debris-tracking service LeoLabs has sounded the alarm over a discarded Chinese rocket stage and a defunct Russian military satellite from the last millennium, which will come dangerously … Continue reading
