10 Ways Interstellar Space Travel Could Actually Be Achieved
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 light years away. By galactic standards that is super close, but still a super far distance by our known travel techniques. Could some sort of…
How Would Our Solar System Look To An Alien?

The S.E.T.I. program received a strange message many decades ago that has been decoded into an infographic. Although there has been much debate, no one can prove the origins: In 1974, the Arecibo Radio Telescope received a major technological overhaul resulting in a massive boost in transmission power. To celebrate the upgrade, Doctors Frank Drake and…
Starshades Could Help Us In The Search For Aliens
Have you heard of these? The search for galaxies, quasars and other incredibly bright formations has taken leaps forward with The Hubble Telescope. However, detecting the exoplanets that may orbit stars within galaxies are difficult to detect due to the brightness of the stars they would likely be orbiting around. So, this team has an…
What Is At The Bottom Of The Baltic Sea?
Apparently there is a very unusual object at the bottom of The Baltic Sea. It was discovered in 2011 and the theories of the origins of this thing are all over the place. Is the Baltic Sea Anomaly a 14,000 year old alien spacecraft that crash landed? In what seems to come straight out of…
