How Long Before we can Travel to Other Galaxies?

How Long Before we can Travel to Other Galaxies?

what do you THINK? is it possible? For many astronomers and science fans the question is when will we be able to reach other stars using interstellar travel?  Dr. Michio Kaku has some interesting insight on the question: When discussing the possibility of interstellar travel, there is something called “the giggle factor.” Some scientists tend

Astronomers Spot a Real-Life “Death Star” Wrecking a Planet

whoa! This sounds like fiction however astronomers are watching a white dwarf 570 light-years from Earth in action.  Its name (very technical haha) is (WD 1145+017) and astronomers witnessed a minor planet in orbit disintegrating.  This is absolutely mind boggling as we think of science fiction movies when it comes to things like this.  Here is

Giant Black Hole is 12 BILLION x Bigger Than the Sun

What They Observed is Absolutely Enormous…this is mind-boggling… Everyone does know that black holes are the super large matter and light eaters at the center of galaxies (or at least that’s what many think they are).  This recent spotting of a certain black hole is so big, astronomers are having to change their theories and

Do You Know the “Secrets” of the Black Hole in Messier 106?

trippy trippy… Do you know about this bizarre galaxy?  Apparently there are many secrets and astronomical mysteries.  A lot of the pics of this galaxy were from The Hubble, and surprisingly they got some help from an amateur astronomer.  Messier 106 is particularly mysterious for a number of reasons: Located a little over 20 million

Top 10 Interstellar Space Travel Methods That Could Work

these are SWEET… NASA’s em drive has gotten a lot of press lately and these other systems some say are the future of space travel This video examines 10 possible ways that future space travel missions could reach other stars.  The closest known star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri at just over 4

They Spotted Two ‘Exoplanets’ Orbiting a Mysterious Star

They have never seen anything like this before… There have been a lot of interesting exoplanets in the news lately, the most famous being kepler 452-b.  Even in the last decade they have discovered over 1,000 of them which is awesome.  Some are stranger than others.  And now astronomers have discovered two more: A team

5 Lost Inventions of Tesla That are Insanely Cool

not everyone knows about THESE… Tesla is the mysterious experimenter who many say had many hidden inventions.  Many YouTubers have experimented with what are called Tesla coils, involving copper and electricity.  Others try to find evidence of some possibly hidden secrets of this great inventor.  No one knows for sure how many of these are around

Can Any of These Exoplanets Actually Hear Us?

now THIS could get interesting. So we have heard from NASA and their big announcement except the exoplanet is 1,400 light years away.  Here is some more perspective on the finding and in what context it’s potential significance: Today, NASA announced Kepler has identified 500 more possible planets, bringing the total to 4,175. And one

This Supernova = Detonation Of 100 Million Suns

that is INSANE Can you even get your mind around this?  Supernova are those insanely bright and powerful phenomena that take place in the universe.  Most scientists think they are neutron stars that burn out and collapse in on themselves and then get so dense they explode outwards.  This one they just spotted is so

A Radio Signal Was Detected 6 Billion Light Years Away

They have a few clues to its origin.. This type of event has only been detected a few times before.  And they still do not know for sure where it is from.  That being said they could and are likely to be happening more frequently.  However finding them is a challenge.  By using new methods

Astronomers Spotted “Triple Star System” Planet

wait what?? This particular region of the universe has absolutely baffled astronomers.  You may or may not have heard the term “binary star system”.  If not, it is basically like it sounds, where two stars are rotating in proximity and around the same center.  However, this is extremely strange and awesome: A team of researchers working at

Space Messages Were Sent For The Future…Seriously

who knew about THIS? 434,738 people actually participated in this.  There were also some other “questionable details” in regards to this mission.  And what is even more bizarre is the fact that no one talks about this.  It is such an unusual phenomenon. The New Horizons probe is carrying a CD-ROM with the names of

Top 7 Most Mysterious Forests in the World

who even knew about these? Some of these are so trippy it is like they are from another planet.  This ambitious narrator lists out 7 of the most bizarre forests that actually are on planet Earth.  Here is a brief intro and some of their names: From screaming woods to the Black Forest to places
