A New Scientific Paper Argues the Moon is a Planet—And So is Pluto
Every now and then a scientific paper makes a real splash. We had one recently, to judge from recent headlines. “Moon rises to claim its place as a planet” said The Sunday Times on February 19, while the Mail Online asked “Is this lunarcy?”. The articles were among many responding to the humble paper: “A Geophysical Planet Definition,” which suggested … Continue reading
Nevermind Asteroids, There are MILLIONS of Wandering Black Holes Capable of Swallowing Earth
By analysing the gas motion of a cosmic cloud shooting through our galaxy at 100 kilometres per second, researchers discovered a black hole lurking inside. Following the revelation, scientists believe there could be millions of these black holes wandering the galaxy. Black holes are something of a mystery, with experts still knowing relatively little about them. However, what they do … Continue reading
Fast-Rotating EGG PLANET with Temperatures of -241C Exists Behind Pluto
The odd egg-shaped dwarf planet known as Haumea which spins incredibly quickly fast is orbiting the sun past Pluto. The tiny planet is something of an anomaly as its equatorial diameter is twice as long as its polar diameter. This ratio of lengths, 2:1, is the most extreme world astronomers know of. It is also the fastest rotating planet in … Continue reading
Quake Mystic Warns of Major Earthquakes Due to Planetary Alignments
Sorry we’re a little late with this story … especially if the ground is currently shaking under your feet. A self-described “earthquake mystic,” who claims he has successfully predicted major quakes based on planetary alignments, issued a YouTube video on February 19th (five days ago as of this writing) warning that a Mars-Venus-Jupiter-Uranus line-up will cause big tremors in the … Continue reading
“Chaotic” Solar System Might Be to Blame for Climate Change
While we’re all taught in schools that the orbits of the planets and other objects in our solar system fall into tidy elliptical patterns that are unchanging, more and more astronomical and geological evidence is pointing to the fact that this is merely a reassuring myth. Over the last several decades, more and more astronomers have published data which seem … Continue reading
New Evidence Breakthrough Further Strengthens the Likelihood of Planet Nine (Planet X?) Existence
Evidence pointing at the existence of Planet Nine (Planet X?) continue to mount with a new study shedding light on how a binary asteroid system could have been been pushed apart into separate orbits because of influence from a massive planet beyond Pluto. Ever since the first study by Caltech researchers that claimed to show through orbits of Kuiper belt … Continue reading
ISS Astronaut Presents Counter Evidence to Flat Earth Conspiracy with Space Walk Selfie (PHOTO)
In space no-one can hurt your feelings, unless you’re astronaut Thomas Pesquet who appears a little hurt by conspiracy theorists’ lack of belief in his work. Tweeting a selfie from space, Pesquet admitted naysayers would probably think the photo is fake. Taken from outside the International Space Station (ISS), the photo shows the French astronaut conducting a space walk. Speaking … Continue reading
Commercial Space Travel on Flights to Launch from Britain WITHIN THREE YEARS
A newly passed Spaceflight Bill will allow spaceports to be built across the UK, some of which could allow commercial flights. The space travel industry is set to be worth £25billion in the next 20 years, and the UK is hoping to get its slice of the pie. The Department for Transport said: “Next steps involve government encouraging business and … Continue reading
Real Secrets of Area 51 Revealed by an Insider
Are there any alien spacecrafts or aliens at Area 51, the top secret US Air Force base in the Nevada desert? A defense industry insider who claims he has knowledge of what really goes on there says no. Should we believe him? An expert on UFOs says yes and he knows where the spaceships and ETs are actually hidden. Should … Continue reading
Primitive Plants Survival in Space Supports Theory that Comets and Meteorites May Have Brought Life to Otherwise Sterile Planets
Primitive plants are the latest forms of Earth life to show they can survive in the harshness of space, and for many months. Cold-loving algae from the Arctic Circle have joined the space-travelling club, alongside bacteria, lichens and even simple animals called tardigrades. Preliminary studies of the algae after their return to Earth from the International Space Station lend some … Continue reading
