Number of Near-Earth Asteroids Grows
People using telescopes to stare at the night sky on December 20 or 26 might see a distant light traversing the heavens, but proclaiming it as a harbinger of a New Testament rerun would be unwise. The European Space Agency’s Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre advises that on neither night will the Star of Bethlehem be visible, but an asteroid very … Continue reading
There is Growing Evidence That the Universe Is Connected by Giant Structures
The Milky Way, the galaxy we live in, is one of hundreds of billions of galaxies strewn across the universe. Their variety is stunning: spirals, ring galaxies shaped like star-studded loops, and ancient galaxies that outshine virtually everything else in the universe. But despite their differences, and the mind-boggling distances between them, scientists have noticed that some galaxies move together … Continue reading
Large Asteroid Discovered Last Week Will Make Earth Fly-by on Friday
An asteroid as big as the Egyptian pyramids is zooming towards Earth and will squeeze past us on Friday – if it doesn’t smash on to our home planet’s surface. Named 2019 WR3, NASA expects the space rock to make a “close approach” to Earth later this week. The space agency has classified the asteroid as a “near-Earth object (NEO)” … Continue reading
NASA Study Reveals Blood Clots, Reverse Blood Flow in Astronauts
NASA scientists have discovered an important risk to human health in spaceflight: stagnant or reverse blood flow and blood clots. Karina Marshall-Goebel, a senior scientist at NASA, authored the study, “Assessment of Jugular Venous Blood Flow Stasis and Thrombosis During Spaceflight,” which appeared last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association. She found, of 11 crew members on … Continue reading
Planets Could Be Orbiting Black Holes, Calculations Show Possibility of Bizarre Worlds
Theoreticians in two fields defied the received wisdom that planets only orbit stars like the sun. They proposed the possibility of thousands of planets around a supermassive black hole. “With the right conditions, planets could be formed even in harsh environments, such as around a black hole,” says Keiichi Wada, a professor at Kagoshima University researching active galactic nuclei, luminous … Continue reading
Scientist Claims Photos Taken by NASA’s rover Shows ‘Insects’ on Mars
A professor emeritus at Ohio University claims that photos taken on Mars show actual live alien ‘insects’. The remarkable claim comes courtesy of Dr. William Romoser – an entomologist who has spent several years closely studying photographs taken by NASA’s Mars rovers. These images, he contends, show examples of insect-like life forms on the Red Planet. His findings, along with … Continue reading
Planet 9 May Already Have Been Found, Study Suggests
Since its launch in April 2018, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has found a number of exoplanets, including a so-called “missing link” and an exoplanet with three suns. But a new study suggests the $200 million satellite may have also discovered the mysterious Planet 9. The research, published in Research Notes of the AAS, notes that TESS is able … Continue reading
NASA Detects Three Asteroids Currently on Earth Approach
NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring three space rocks that are expected to approach Earth tomorrow, Nov. 20. According to the agency, the biggest asteroid in the group is about half as tall as the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. The first asteroid that will visit Earth’s vicinity tomorrow has been identified by NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) … Continue reading
Potential Collision Date Revealed by NASA, Pyramid Sized Asteroid Could Hit Earth in 2022
Scientists from the American space agency claim that asteroids the size of a football field collide with our planet every 2000 years, with another giant rock now heading towards the Earth. NASA just announced when a giant asteroid, known as JF1, would hit Earth if it continues on its current trajectory – and it’s not too far from now. The … Continue reading
Large Group of Scientists Launch Campaign to Save Earth from Deep Space Impact
Asteroid experts all over the globe fear our planet sits in a shooting gallery of so-called Near-Earth Objects or NEOs. Approximately 66 million years ago, one of these asteroids wiped out two-thirds of all life on the planet and ended the reign of the dinosaurs. Today, four new NEOs are discovered every single day but many potential threats remain undetected. … Continue reading
