Could new propulsion systems get us that far? This video examines 10 possible ways that future space travel missions could reach other stars. There have been a lot of potential new rocket systems and even theoretical models that some astronomers say could work. The closest known star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri which…
Could Mars Have “Salty Water Flows” During Their Summer?
could this be POSSIBLE? The red planet has revealed some never before seen mysteries lately. With the curiosity rover mission in 2015 we have seen pics and gathered evidence about the surface that was previously unknown. There have been a lot of rumors as well regarding the surface and some of the formations. Who knows…
How Soon Will We Be Able to Travel to Other Galaxies?
Will any of these ways WORK? With NASA testing the em drive and other rockets it looks more likely. The question of when or if we will be able to travel to other galaxies is often debated. There is of course that question many of us ask, not just astronomers, if we are alone? Traveling…
Ancient Map of Jupiter Has Changed Astronomy Forever
they found an astronomical map that is 1,000s of years old… They decoded this ancient tablet and what they discovered was amazing. Many archaelogists and historians were aware of the Egyptians and their advanced astronomical notes from thousands of years ago. Many civilizations in South America had advanced record keeping of the stars as well. However…
Astronomers Spotted Two Strange Exoplanets Orbiting an Unusual Star
Will they find new evidence? Exoplanets may hold the most evidence when searching for extraterrestrials. When we say hold the most, in rephrasing, should actually say be one of the richest areas of search for extraterrestrials. This has to do with the fact that they are a preselected area of focus as planets semi similar…
NASA Tested Hydrogen “Burn Off Igniters” and They are INSANE
They have been testing some crazy stuff and filmed this one. NASA is testing a new system that may improve safety and overall performance with some of their ignitions. There have also been “em drive” tests and some other neat ones they have reported on in the past year. Here is more from the article:…
Could a NASA “Plasma Engine” Be The Future Of Space Travel?
NASA is discussing this.. In 39 days this type of engine could get us to Mars. That sounds pretty cool and expensive but some think it is definitely worth it besides satisfying intellectual curiosity. But of course the first challenge is thrust. Current rocket engines that burn solid fuels are super powerful but likely could not…
Mysterious Bright Spots on Ceres Have Changed – Part 6
what is causing THIS? What is going on this just happened. If you have been keeping updated in 2015 and 2016 you will know about these strange bright spots on the dwarf planet Ceres. Apparently they are unexplainably bright. Many astronomers think it is salt that is reflecting the sun or ice but many people…
Do You Know China Has Had A Telescope On The Moon For Over 2 Years?
this could be good although it is rarely mentioned. In science and in space collaboration is key. This is a good thing and it would be cool if there was more discussion about this, especially for astronomy fans. Well we are bringing this up to encourage working together. However, this particular mission didn’t seem to…
A Potential “Super-Earth” At The Edge of The Solar System – Part 3
do you know about THIS? What are the implication if this is where astronomers think it is?? There have been some incredible pictures of Pluto this year with unprecedented clarity. And now, astronomers think they may have detected a new large planet like formation past Pluto, at the very edge of our solar system. This…
Could Forms Of Life That We Don’t Understand Be On Mars Right Now?
Could it be possible? The curiosity rover has taken some never before seen pics with some strange anomalies. And some of those have made quite a buzz on the web like the mysterious “face” and others. That being said, many have speculated that extraterrestrials and/or organisms of some form may have existed on Mars in…
They Found A Huge Protogalaxy 10 Billion Light Years Away
they recently spotted it… Here is a really cool discovery of a “primitive” type of galaxy that is 10 billion light years away. This was only possible within the last decade or so with the advent of super powerful space telescopes. However, it was not the hubble that found this one: Astronomer using the Palomar…
Top 3 Likely Reasons Why We Haven’t “Seen” Aliens…YET
Do you agree with this logic? The main crux of it is the contradiction of the seemingly high likelihood of extraterrestrials given the vastness of the visible universe yet the fact that “most” of us have not visibly seen extraterrestrials. That is quite a mouthful 😉 A very clever philosopher examines this paradox more extensively…
Astronomers Spotted A Huge “Invisible Structures” In The Milky Way
Wait what? You read the headline correctly and it surprised a lot of people. Apparently this has been quite a year for astronomy. First two scientists from Caltech darn near proved that there is another unseen planet at the edge of the solar system. Now, a different group says they’ve spotted some mysterious objects in our…
NASA Test Fires the SLS Rocket and It Is Amazingly Powerful
this is INSANE… Astronomers say this is one step closer in getting to Mars. There have been previous tests of this particular rocket and the latest test was a success. There have been articles lately about different types of propulsion systems such as the em drive and other theoretical models. However the SLS is extremely…
Where Is This Mysterious Signal Coming From?
Do you know about this? The “Alien Wow” signal from S.E.T.I. has been debated since the 1970s and they detected THIS. No one knows for sure but the most likely candidates are black holes, merging neutron stars and aliens. Seriously…that is what many astronomers think may be behind what was discovered as it happened. The first one…
Are “Fast Radio Bursts” From Neutron Stars or Extraterrestrials?
They STILL do not know the origin… The rare phenomena of FBRs or fast radio bursts still puzzle astronomers. They have only detected a few of these ever and a recent one in 2015 has astronomers scratching their heads. In this article astronomers examine this phenomena in more depth and ponder what is the origin…
Could This Be an Indicator of Alien Life?
astronomers discuss the possibilities…. On this particular exoplanet there are features that have astronomers excited. Could this particular feature of a planet be one of the best indicators of alien life? Kepler 452-b may be the most discussed exoplanet ever and the most likely to have life on it similar to ours. Here are more…
NASA Took These Recordings in 1977 and Uploaded Them
Have you heard these? This has to be one of the neatest uses of the internet. In 1977 NASA embarked on a mission that is not often discussed and extremely cool. They took some recordings and apparently these cosmic sounds have been uploaded to soundcloud: What do extraterrestrials listen to? Well, we don’t know for sure,…
The “Alien Star” Could Have Never Been Found by Computers
Do you agree? There is an unusual feature of this mysterious star. And this is an interesting debate in the man/woman vs. machine discussion. By now you have likely heard about the unusual star discovered in 2015 with the “dyson sphere” around it. And they STILL do not know what it is! And by the…
