It has some new ideas that explain a lot more about the Moon’s chemical composition. It seems to stack up well against the giant impact theory. Which theory do you … Continue reading
Methane on Saturn’s Moon Enceladus Could be Sign of Alien Microbe Life
While at first glance this may not seem like a very big deal you have to step back a bit and just think, if there is actually life there, even microbial life that means that life is out there! We (humans) haven’t gone to Saturn to contaminate it so any life there would be born of its own doing, that … Continue reading

Asteroids May be Crucial in the Search for the Chemical Origins of Life
Asteroids are often thought to be a threat to life, but could they be the key finding out how the Earth evolved into the thriving planet which we know today? Nicholas Hud, director of the Center for Chemical Evolution at the Georgia Institute of Technology, thinks so and has been studying space rocks in an effort to pinpoint the chemical … Continue reading
Scientist Have Created a Magnetic ‘Wormhole’ That Connects Two Regions of Space
When you get to the end of this article, do remember to pay mind to the last paragraph and let the words really sink in, it’s a very interesting quote indeed! via Scicademy: Wormholes are fascinating (but theoretical) cosmological objects that can connect two distant regions of the universe. They would allow one to create “shortcuts” through space in order … Continue reading
How Would Mankind React to Confirmation of Alien Life ?
How would we react to conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life ? Researchers believe that humanity would be more likely to welcome than fear the discovery of alien life. Visitation by extraterrestrials is a scenario that has played out time and again in books and movies, often resulting in the fictionalized human race fearing for its very survival. In reality however, … Continue reading
