The object, located 8.5 billion light-years from the Milky Way, was discovered using the Spitzer Space…
NASA Has A Big Announcement Tomorrow…What Will It Be?
Hint..it is about Mars and apparently it has to do with discussions regarding a Mars atmosphere. Whoa what could they have in store? When the US space agency says it’s got something big to share with the world, we’re going to pay attention, and this Thursday at 2pm EST it’s promising to announce “key science…
Neodymium Magnet Floats In Round Copper Pipe
It’s hypnotic to watch. This home experimenter takes a cylindrical piece of copper with a hole bored out of it and drops in a circular neodymium magnet. Neodymium magnets are some of the most powerful in the world. These types of magnets were invented as recently as the 1980s. The costs have also come down…
Scotland Is Taking Energy Efficiency To Another Level Here
They’re building a ginormous floating wind farm Energy efficiency is a huge topic and many solar and wind farms are starting to contribute to our production. Now the Scottish government is throwing their hat in the ring with a huge project: The Scottish government has announced that it’s approved the construction of the UK’s first…
The Search For Earth Like Planets Is Examined
The search for alien life is one of the most discussed in the scientific community. And one of the best ways might be to focus on earth-like planets. They examine the possibilities in this video: The search for Earth-like planets is reaching a fever-pitch. Does the evidence so far help shed light on the ancient…
New Type of Glass Is Insanely Strong
Watch them test it on video.. As we have more devices and tech type products, the demand for strong glass keeps increasing. Now this team thinks they have something that will meet the challenge: This is a new type of glass which will be manufactured in the future. It will replace ordinary glass in the near…
Who made These Ancient Structures? Even NASA Doesn’t Know
There have been many famous archaeological mysteries that have been debated in terms of how they were made, from Stonehenge to Egyptian structures and the like. Apparently there are some structures in Kazakhstan that no one can explain: Back in 2007, a series of huge, mysterious geoglyphs were discovered in the grasslands, or steppes, of…
Guy Can Boil Water In Seconds With This Homemade Device
This guy makes a very interesting coil that could be made at home with a few parts. It doesn’t take a scientist or physics student to make one of these its pretty easy. Here is how this home experimenter describes this device: In this video, I make a pancake coil for inductive heating the surface…
This Unusual Asteroid Has Rings
How did these form? Apparently the asteroid Chariklo has rings like you might see on a planet: From ESO, observations made at telescopes in South America have made the surprise discovery that the remote asteroid Chariklo is surrounded by two dense and narrow rings. This is the smallest object to have rings and only the…
Scientist Thinks Mars May Have Had Acid Fog
As if this planet wasn’t mysterious enough, now they think Mars may have had acid fog at certain times. Dr Shoshanna Cole, a planetary researcher at Ithaca College, has pieced together a compelling story about how acidic water vapors may have eaten at the rocks in an area on Husband Hill in the Columbia Hills…
Guy Makes An Unusual Instrument Transmitting With Coiled Springs
You won’t believe what it sounds like.. This fascinating design was done by a man named Gorkem Sen. Here is some information about it how it works: Yaybahar is an electric-free, totally acoustic instrument. The vibrations from the strings are transmitted via the coiled springs to the frame drums. These vibrations are turned into sound…
Watch This Bubble Freeze Into An Ice Sphere
Whoa! This takes place in Calgary where it can get very cold. This home experimenter filmed something really cool and describes his process as such: When it gets really cold outside, all you can do is have some fun with it. At -25C/-13F, soap bubble mixtures freeze faster than they pop, making for some very…
They Recorded Some Bone Chilling Sounds From Different Spacecraft
Did you know solar wind could make these kinds of strange sounds? We didn’t but they sure are cool. Caught on video they are described as such: Here are some downright chilling sounds recorded by several spacecraft. The sounds come from radio signals that are created by solar winds interacting with plasma that is wafting…
This Experiment Seems To Defy Gravity…Or Does It?
The ever adventurous Veritasium does it again with another cool science experiment. This one demonstrates the physics law of precession. He spins a very heavy wheel and rotates it in a way to really show off how things work. it is pretty much a giant gyroscopic effect. NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION…
Did You Know About This Strange Underwater Monolith?
After 1,200 years they discovered these fascinating Egyptian artifacts. This city was swallowed by the Mediterranean. And apparently it goes by two different names, depending on the civilization referencing it, whether Greek or Egyptian. The city and artifacts were discovered 150 feet below the surface a little over 10 years ago. Let’s check out these…
Top 10 Strange Events That Actually Happened
There are always reports of unusual events and strange things that have happened but no one can explain. This video lists out 10 that you may or may not have heard about: Here is an intro to a couple of them: People in Taos, New Mexico have contended with a low frequency humming noise they…
They Just Found Oxygen On This Comet Which Was A Surprise
It has been quite a year for astronomy and another discovery that is changing previous models has to do with comet 67p. Apparently the discovery of oxygen took a lot of people by surprise: The Rosetta spacecraft has discovered molecular oxygen in the cloud of gas surrounding the comet it is tracking. The discovery has…
Mysteries Of The Ancient Rosetta Stone
Did you know about this? You have likely heard of the mysterious Rosetta Stone.
