Is this geological…or something else? How did this pyramid on the dwarf planet Ceres get there? Is it a coincidence and just a random formation or the remnants of intelligent beings? There is a lot of debate on the matter. Plenty of observers have suggested — with varying degrees of seriousness — that the bright…
NASA “Teather Incident” Examined – Part 2
is this as weird as the “arecibo message” in 1974? This rare footage is not often talked about and still remains a mystery. If you have not heard about it it is called the NASA tethering incident. Apparently there was some strange video where people thought they saw something. This particular video axamines it in…
NASA Says Gas Giants May Have Formed Differently Than We Thought
did you know about this? Planets like Jupiter may have had different origins than previously thought. Apparently they have some new modeling in regards to how gas giants have formed. And even some gas giants have been spotted around other solar systems which may give us a good model to study. Here is what NASA…
Did Something Just Crash Into Jupiter?
Wait what? Apparently home astronomers and professionals may have spotted something amazing. Jupiter which is a gas giant planet is most notably known as the largest known planet in our solar system and for having that big red thing. (most think it is a storm that has been going on for a very long time.…
Is This Why Earth Has Life And Mars Doesn’t?
this will make you THINK… Have you ever wondered why Earth supports life and Mars does not? You may or may not know about this but Earth’s magnetic field plays a super important role in this. We often focus on things like the atmosphere and the cellular level communicating with each other through DNA. However…
This Galaxy Emits More Infrared Light Than 350 Trillion Suns
Wait what? This thing is so bright it is hard to get one’s mind around. Quasars are those super bright distant galaxies with very unusual properties. Apparently scientists have discovered a super distant one that emits an enormous amount of infrared light. This surprised a lot of people and here is a bit more on…
Could This Be THE Most Important Planet Found Outside the Solar System?
What do you think? This new planetary discovery has astronomers buzzing. They discovered a new exopanet and GJ 1132b and it is only 39 light years away. It is fairly similar to Venus and they are making a big deal for a variety of reasons. The properties of this planet are very similar to ours.…
Why Does This Asteroid Have Rings?
THIS baffled astronomers… What they spotted in this region of the solar system surprised them. Of course we have seen planets with rings and even in the last few decades or so have noticed that Neptune had rings. However they did not expect to find them here: Chariklo is the largest member of a class…
NASA’s “EM Drive” Microwave Propulsion System Gets a Boost
will this get us to Mars? The new engine from NASA gets input on the next version. You may have heard about this insane experimental engine from NASA that could feasibly get astronauts to Mars in a few weeks. It is in the experimental phases but 2015 made quite a buzz and now the famous…
Astronomers Spot a Planet Forming Solar System Up Close
this is AWESOME Before this we have only speculated on such formations. And finally they have caught one in action! This is incredible as astronomers have located an early forming solar system that can give us incredible insight: A remarkable young stellar system has been found that could upend our theories of how quickly planets…
What Were These Unusual “Near Earth Objects”?
What are these things? They seem to be following a straight line and yet have a form that looks of manipulation? The common acronym for these phenomena are NEOs. And apparently some of them may have different origins than previously thought: A new study using data from NASA’s NEOWISE space telescope has traced some dark Near-Earth Objects…
Possible Spotting Of “Planet” X – Latest Update
is it really there? You may have heard of a mysterious new planet at the edge of the solar system and there is something new. Rumors of a mysterious large planet at the edge of the solar system have persisted for hundreds of years. And now they MAY have found something. Two scientists noticed a…
“Mysterious Sounds” From This Particular Spacecraft Were Recorded
are these really solar winds? or something else… Do you believe the theory that these sounds are just solar wind? Were you aware of the fact that solar wind could make these kinds of strange sounds? Neither did we but they sure sound neat. Astronomers have recorded a very unusual detection from space and described it as such:…
Astronomers Spotted the Brightest Galaxies EVER
this is INSANE… They actually don’t have words to describe what they found. Supernovas and the like are often considered some of the brightest formations ever detected by telescope. However, astronomers have come across some galaxies that are so ginormously bright they are BAFFLED. Here is a bit more about their recent findings: Astronomers have…
Astronomers Spot a “Supernova Shockwave” Which Has Never Been Seen Before
this is AMAZING… For the first time EVER astronomers found an incredible property of supernovas. Most astronomy fans have heard of the term. It is likely caused from a star that burns out and collapses in on itself then making a super external show called a supernova. However, even though we have seen them and…
Astronomers Want to Terraform Jupiter
Is this a good idea? Astronomers have actually discussed “terraforming” planets in our solar system. Have you heard of that definition? That means trying to manipulate a planetery environment so that life could flourish and make it more like earth. Would this actually work? So just what would it take to terraform Jupiter, the largest…
NASA Made a Map of “Mars Gravity” and its Amazing
have you ever seen anything like this? First there is a breakthrough in gravity waves and now this. 2015 and 2016 have been incredible years in terms of NASA’s research about the red planet. Mars is one of the most mysterious planets in our solar system with possibly the most amount of speculation out of…
What Did They Just Discover on Vesta and Ceres?
The last year has been one of NASA’s most insane ever. There was a lot of cool pics and new info that came in over the last ten years. One fascinating bit of info is regarding Vesta and Ceres: Dawn, the speedy ion-drive spacecraft, left Earth in 2007 bound for Vesta and Ceres in the…
Astronomers Spotted a Planetary Formation in the Early Stages
Whoa…sweet! They have never seen anything like this before. There have been some cool pics and locating of dusty disks and the like in the past. However, the incredible detail they were able to spot in this particular formation has never been seen before. Here is a bit more detail on who and how they…
Astronomers Are “Confused” By The Orbit Of Pluto’s Moons
Is there something else out THERE? One of Pluto’s moons is absolutely baffling astronomers. It is not following a pattern that they were all but certain that it should. And it has been quite a year for astronomy in particular for Pluto with new never before seen pics of the planet. And it did include…
