Jupiter and Saturn Pushed Other Planets Away from the Sun in the Early Beginnings of the Universe
Researchers studying the lone surviving binary asteroid in the Trojan belt orbiting Jupiter have revealed that the chaos at the beginning of our solar system may have been shorter but more violent than previously thought. A new study on the binary asteroid Patroclus-Menoetius reveals that within the first 100 million years of the solar system’s existence, Jupiter and Saturn shoved … Continue reading
NASA Image Shows Mysterious Green Anomaly on Jupiter
An image on NASA’s website shows what appears to be a massive unidentified green anomaly either just above, or on the surface of Jupiter! The green color could be a result of ionizing radiation. Jupiter puts out a massive amount of ionizing radiation so any probe or UFO in its vicinity is going to be subject to that radiation. Below … Continue reading

An analysis completed by Japan’s State Museum of Science confirmed that the rock, which crashed into our planet on September 26 at about 10:30 pm was indeed a meteorite, Japanese public broadcaster NHK has reported. … Continue reading
NASA Speculates Voyager 2 Could be Nearing Interstellar Space
As a reference, beyond the comet oort cloud and the gravitational pull of the Sun is a boundary known as the heliopause. Beyond that lies interstellar space. via: jpl.nasa.gov: NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, currently on a journey toward interstellar space, has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is a … Continue reading
Scientist Claim They’ve Come up with a Way to Test if The Big Bang Actually Happened
According to the Big Bang cosmological model, our Universe began 13.8 billion years ago when all the matter and energy in the cosmos began expanding. This period of “cosmic inflation” is believed to be what accounts for the large-scale structure of the Universe and why space and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) appear to be largely uniform in all directions. However, to date, no … Continue reading
First Ever ‘Exomoon’ Orbiting Planet Outside Our Solar System
Scientists have reported the first ever discovery of a moon orbiting around an ‘exoplanet’ – a planet that exists outside of the Earth’s solar system. Thousands of exoplanets have previously been found by astronomers, with some suggesting they could possibly support life, but this is the first time scientists have ever found what they believe is a moon orbiting one … Continue reading
