Astronomers Find Water Vapor on Extrasolar Planet
Water vapor has been identified on what is being hailed as the most habitable exoplanet found to date. In an announcement earlier today, astronomers from University College London revealed the discovery of water vapor in the atmosphere of a ‘super-Earth’ planet 110 light years away. Known simply as K2-18b, this distant world is twice the size of our own planet, … Continue reading
Mysterious Radio Burst Picked up by China’s Radio Telescope
Is someone or something trying to contact earth? China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) has detected a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) — mysterious radio signals from outer space — for the first time, Science and Technology Daily reported. Scientists on the FAST project with the National Astronomical Observatories of China, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed … Continue reading
Mystery Substance Discovered on Far Side of the Moon
Well what do we have here? Could it be the discovery of a substance of alien origins, or one with a more ‘Earthly’ explanation? What could it be, and how did it get there ? via Unexplained-Mysteries: Scientists operating China’s Yutu-2 lunar rover have discovered a strange ‘shiny gel’ inside an impact crater. Situated within the 2,500km-wide South Pole-Aitken basin, … Continue reading
Exoplanets Could be Even Better than Earth at Hosting Life
Exoplanets in our universe may be home to abundant life that enjoys a more hospitable home than we do on Earth, surprising research has revealed. The news may help in the search for alien life. Researchers are looking for oceans on exoplanets which have “the greatest capacity to host globally abundant and active life,”said geophysicist Stephanie Olson from the University … Continue reading
Newly Discovered Exoplanet May be Contender for Human Colonization
Three new rocky Earth-sized planets, one of which has a high probability of being able to support human life, have been discovered orbiting a star just 12 light-years away. All three exoplanets are at least 1.4 to 1.8 times the mass of Earth, and orbit their red dwarf star, Gilese 1061, every three to 13 days. The star is located … Continue reading
Researchers of ALIEN Radio Signals Discover 8 New Sources, One From Nearby Galaxy
Astronomers studying Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), some of the rarest and most enigmatic phenomena in deep space, have detected eight new repeating signals, which could hold the key to solving where exactly they come from. While these curious signals are alien in origin, no one should be expecting little green men contacting their friends in Area 51 about the allegedly … Continue reading
AI May Be Able to Help Explain Mystereious Radio Signals that Keep Hitting Earth
Sudden shrieks of radio waves from deep space keep slamming into radio telescopes on Earth, spattering those instruments’ detectors with confusing data. And now, astronomers are using artificial intelligence to pinpoint the source of the shrieks, in the hope of explaining what’s sending them to Earth from — researchers suspect — billions of light-years across space. Usually, these weird, unexplained … Continue reading
Astronomers Discover a ‘Super-Earth’ 31 Light Years Away
Astronomers have announced the discovery of a large, potentially habitable world in a nearby solar system. Named GJ 357 d, the new planet has a mass approximately six times that of the Earth. “GJ 357 d is located within the outer edge of its star’s habitable zone, where it receives about the same amount of stellar energy from its star … Continue reading
‘Mystical’ Psychedelic Compound Discovered in the Pineal Gland, Neocortex and the Hippocampus
In the past few years, thrill-seekers from Hollywood, Silicon Valley and beyond have been travelling to South America to take part in so-called Ayahuasca retreats. Their goal: to partake in a brewed concoction made from a vine plant Banisteriopsis caapi, traditionally used by indigenous people for sacred religious ceremonies. Drinkers of Ayahuasca experience short-term hallucinogenic episodes many describe as life-changing. … Continue reading
First Ever HUMAN-MONKEY Embryo Created by Scientists
Scientists have successfully created the world’s first human-monkey embryo, paving the way towards using animals for human organ transplants. The experiment was conducted in China to avoid legal issues. Researchers from the Salk Institute in the US and the Murcia Catholic University (UCAM) in Spain genetically modified monkey embryos to deactivate specific genes used in the formation of organs. The … Continue reading
