Nuking Possibly Hazardous Asteroids Would Be Like ‘Shotgun Blast’ Vaporising Earth
As the sightings and instances of meteors entering, and some exploding in our atmosphere seemingly increase, experts also seemed to have increased their efforts into finding ways to prevent an extinction event from a catastrophic celestial visitor impacting Earth. via Sputniknews In light of the hundreds of thousands of “potentially hazardous” so-called Near-Earth Objects (NOEs) passing our planet, efforts are … Continue reading
Warp Factor: We’ve Observed a Spinning Star that Drags the Very Fabric of Space and Time
One of the predictions of Einstein’s general theory of relativity is that any spinning body drags the very fabric of space-time in its vicinity around with it. This is known as “frame-dragging”. In everyday life, frame-dragging is both undetectable and inconsequential, as the effect is so ridiculously tiny. Detecting the frame-dragging caused by the entire Earth’s spin requires satellites such … Continue reading
What Will Happen When Earth’s North And South Pole Flip?
Earth’s magnetic field protects our planet from harmful space radiation. However, the protective shield might soon go into a transformation that may threaten the life on Earth. In this video we see what will happen when Earth’s magnetic poles flip.

Might Life from Earth Have Been Spread to Distant Worlds ?
It is often suggested that alien life could have reached Earth on a comet, but what about the other way around ? Scientists have long speculated over what processes might have given rise to life on other worlds. One such process, which is known as panspermia, involves life from one planet being transported to another on asteroids and comets that … Continue reading
Scientists Successfully Grow Mysterious Ancient Organism That Could Be Origin of Life As We Know It
A team of researchers has unravelled a scientific mystery by successfully growing an ancient life form in a lab, a breakthrough that brings us one step closer to discovering our very first ancestors on Earth. The previously unknown organism was unearthed on the floor of the Arctic ocean in 2010. It was dubbed Lokiarchaeota in honor of the Loki’s Castle … Continue reading
Unknown Burst of Gravitational Waves Detected in Space, Is Betelgeuse Going Supernova?
Scientists think they have detected an “unknown or unanticipated” burst of gravitational waves coming from somewhere deep in space. The wobble in spacetime was picked up unexpectedly by the LIGO experiment, which was specifically built to detect gravitational waves. Astronomers have a picture of what part of the sky the burst originated from, and will look to find more information … Continue reading
‘Enceladus May Harbor Life’, Says Voyager Scientist
The scientific helm of NASA’s historic Voyager missions has suggested that we revisit Saturn’s icy moon. Professor Ed Stone, who at 83 is still working on a variety of space projects, is certainly no stranger to exploring the solar system having served as project scientist for NASA’s Voyager program which launched two of the most audacious space missions ever undertaken. … Continue reading
Moon’s Magnetosphere, Once Twice as Strong as Earth’s, Died Mysteriously, Is it Earth’s Fate Too?
The magnetosphere is the main force protecting Earth from the powerful solar radiation which constantly bombards our planet. Without it, our planet would quickly become an uninhabitable wasteland. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered that the Moon once had a powerful magnetic field twice as strong as that of Earth, but that it was weakened before petering … Continue reading
Astronomers Trace Mysterious Repeating Fast Radio Burst to Nearby Galaxy Similar to Ours
For more than a decade, astronomers across the globe have wrestled with the perplexities of fast radio bursts—intense, unexplained cosmic flashes of energy, light years away, that pop for mere milliseconds. Despite the hundreds of records of these enigmatic sources, researchers have only pinpointed the precise location of four such bursts. Now there’s a fifth, detected by a team of … Continue reading
There May be far More Black Holes Wandering Space, Consuming All in Their Path
Scientists studying the underlying mechanisms which formed the universe have made a startling and terrifying discovery, which they believe indicates that there are more black holes out there than we thought – and they’re moving. The team from Montana State University targeted dwarf galaxies, which are 100 times less massive than our own Milky Way, for study as these are … Continue reading
