Is there a Connection Involving Recent Asteroid Fly By and Arecibo Satellite Going Down?
Some very interesting developments tool place over the past few weeks, from the close asteroid fly by of asteroid ZTFODxQ aka 2020QG to the Arecibo Observatory which is the sole facility of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) and the source of data for the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) going down. We also had a Russian cosmonaut catching … Continue reading
Panspermia Proof? Radiation-Resistant Bacteria Could Survive Journey from Earth to Mars
Layal Liverpool New Scientist Microbes strapped to the outside of the International Space Station can survive for at least three years, suggesting that life has the potential to survive a journey through space from Earth to Mars. “If bacteria can survive in space, [they] may be transferred from one planet to another,” says Akihiko Yamagishi at Tokyo University of Pharmacy … Continue reading
Large Asteroid to Fly by Earth at 0.3 Times the Distance to the Moon on September 1, 2020
A large asteroid, which currently has a condition code of 7 (0 being good and 9 being highly uncertain) will fly by Earth at 0.3 times the distance to the Moon on September 1, 2020. The asteroid (2011 ES4) measures approximately 150ft (50m) across, is expected to hurtle past the Earth at the incredible speed of 18,253mph (29,375kmh). Despite Space … Continue reading
Three Asteroids to Make Close Passes this Week, They Were Only Spotted This Month
The near-constant bombardment of space rocks buzzing our planet continues, with planetary defenses alerted to a trio of asteroids measuring over 25 meters in diameter en route to Earth’s backyard this week. To kick things off on Monday, not one but two space rocks over 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter will fly past, both of which were detected just … Continue reading
Newly-Detected Asteroid Placed on Risk List as Calculations Show it Could Hit Earth
“…the odds of 2020 PG6 hitting Earth in 2029 are one out of 416, making it one of the asteroids with the highest chances of colliding with Earth on the risk list.” A freshly detected asteroid has been put straight onto the European Space Agency’s ‘risk list’ as calculations forecast that it could smash into Earth in 10 years. The … Continue reading
What Might Alien Civilizations Look Like? The Kardashev Scale
The observable universe is a big place that has been around for more than 13 billion years. Up to two trillion galaxies made up of something like 20,000 billion billion stars surround our home galaxy. In the milky way alone scientists assume there are some 40 billion earth like planets in the habitable zone of their stars. When we look … Continue reading
Cosmonaut Aboard ISS Records 5 UFOs While Filming Aurora Borealis
Cosmonaut Ivan Vagner recently captured footage of the auroras over the Antarctic. “5 objects” appeared in the the time-lapse according to Vagner in a tweet. The imagery was sent to Roscosmos for analysis. On Ivan’s twitter page he stated, “The peak of aurora borealis when passing over the Antarctic in Australia’s longitude, meaning in between them. However, in the video, … Continue reading
A Supernova May Have Caused Mass Extinction on Earth
Headline image caption: A team of researchers led by professor Brian Fields hypothesizes that a supernova about 65 light-years away may have contributed to the ozone depletion and subsequent mass extinction of the late Devonian Period, 359 million years ago. Pictured is a simulation of a nearby supernova colliding with and compressing the solar wind. Earth’s orbit, the blue dashed … Continue reading
Our Sun May Have Started Its Life with a Binary Companion
Headline caption: Artist’s conception of a potential solar companion, which theorists believe was developed in the Sun’s birth cluster and later lost. If proven, the solar companion theory would provide additional credence to theories that the Oort cloud formed as we see it today, and that Planet Nine was captured rather than formed in place. Cambridge, MA – A new … Continue reading
Unusual Triple Comet Flying Past the Sun Recorded by NASA Satellite
A solar satellite launched by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) spotted a cluster of three comets flying close to the sun. A scientist who analyzed the images stated that the object did not come from a well-known family of comets. The comet cluster was spotted by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), a robotic satellite launched by NASA … Continue reading
