First Eye Witnessed Lunar Impact Event
Space scientists at Aberystwyth University have reported what they believe to be the first confirmed sighting in the British Isles of a meteorite hitting the Moon. A Lunar Impact Flash – a flash of light when something hits the Moon’s surface – was recorded on the southern hemisphere of the Moon and probably caused by a small meteorite the size … Continue reading
Trump Axes NASA’s Planet-Saving Asteroid-Smasher Program Leaving Earth More Prone to Impacts
AN AMBITIOUS NASA plan to change the course of earth-bound asteroids potentially averting an EXTINCTION LEVEL catastrophe is being scrapped by Donald Trump. Four more space programs, largely collecting and analysing climate data, have also been axed. The controversial Asteroid Redirect Mission was an Obama-era project and would have seen robotic space probes grabbing a block from a speeding asteroid … Continue reading
Warped Meteor Showers Target Earth from All Angles
Some meteor showers persist for weeks and months, even though Earth sweeps a big arc around the Sun during that time. The meteors arrive from a slightly different direction each day, which is a clue to why these showers last so long. In a review of ongoing meteor surveillance projects worldwide, 45 showers are identified that take this motion to … Continue reading
Cosmic Particles Could Cause Malfunctions of Planes In Mid-Flight and Rig Elections, Scientist Warn
Earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic particles which originate from the deep universe and they are wreaking havoc on our technology. While humans are protected by the Earth’s natural magnetic shield, modern technology is not as safe. Scientists have claimed that the neutrons, muons and pions can “flip” a bit of information, which could potentially force a computer to reboot, … Continue reading
Research Reveals Potatoes Actually Can Grow Outside on Mars
It should be possible to grow potatoes and other vegetables on Mars. Image Credit: NASA A new research satellite has revealed that it is possible to grow tubers in the conditions found on Mars. In the 2015 movie ‘The Martian’, Matt Damon finds himself stranded on the Red Planet and relies on growing potatoes in the Martain soil to help … Continue reading
NASA Shares Images And Stunning 360 Degree ‘Tour” of Exoplanet-Ringed Dwarf Star TRAPPIST-1
NASA has released new data showing the first glimpses of the TRAPPIST-1 dwarf star system which contains three Earth-sized planets. The space agency revealed last month that seven exoplanets orbit TRAPPIST-1. The discovery is seen as particularly significant because three of the exoplanets (TRAPPIST-1b, c, and d) are all within the star’s habitable zone, meaning that they could likely contain … Continue reading
Harvard Scientists New Theory for Mysterious Fast Radio Bursts Signals Suggests Link To Interstellar Spaceships
Could these ‘fast radio burst’ be the ‘exhaust smoke’ of alien starships, very intriguing theory/idea. Fast radio bursts are among the most mysterious phenomena in the universe and have baffled astronomers for years. Now, researchers at Harvard have suggested the ultra-bright bursts could be evidence of interstellar spaceships in distant galaxies. If that sounds too absurd to be true, bear … Continue reading
Scientists Create Artist Impression of What ALIEN Creatures Could Look Like
THIS is what life on other worlds may look like, according to a biologist who has been studying the history of evolution on Earth. Since humanity first grasped a basic understanding of the universe, almost everyone on Earth has likely had a shot at speculating what alien beings might look like – with the usual conclusion being little green people. … Continue reading
There is a Massive, Glowing Blob in the Universe, and a Mystery Source Is Lighting It Up
No one knows what’s powering this thing. Astronomers have discovered a vast, glowing blob of gas in the distant Universe, and they can’t figure out what’s actually lighting it up. This glowing nebula is located at the centre of an enormous ‘protocluster’ of early galaxies some 10 billion light-years from Earth, and is the brightest cosmic object of its kind … Continue reading
NASA Working on Plans to Help Mars Grow Its Atmosphere Using Magnetic Shield
The Planetary Science Vision 2050 Workshop is happening right now at NASA headquarters in Washington DC. The workshop is meant to discuss ambitious space projects that could be realized, or at least started, by 2050. One of the most enticing ideas came this morning from Jim Green, NASA’s Planetary Science Division Director. In a talk titled, “A Future Mars Environment … Continue reading
