Who knew?? This surprising comet gives us new clues into the atmospheric past of Mars. Even to this day, Mars has a small atmosphere which a lot of people do not realize. Most astronomers think the vast majority of it was stripped away by solar wind. That seems kind of obvious but what else may…
5 Mysteries About Our Solar System That Remain Unsolved
do you know about these? With the ability to see galaxies, quasars and other formations at extremely far distances you would think we have our own local solar system figured out! Many astronomers and science fans alike are focuses on galaxies and phenomena that reside billions of light years away (in the visual universe as we…
This COULD Be Evidence Of Life On a Comet
this surprised a lot of people… This may be arguably one of the most exciting findings in the search for extraterrestrial life. Apparently this particular comet has shown some evidence of hosting past or current organisms. Although not an alien, we have yet to find life anywhere outside of our planet. Of course the odds…
Astronomers Found a Hole in the Andromeda Galaxy
did you know about THIS? What they found was baffling and they are trying to figure out what happened. The Andromeda galaxy is just over 2.5 million light years away and has been the focus of a lot of astronomical endeavors. There are quite a bit of mysteries coming from that region. It is also…
A Telescope Caught This Epic Black Hole Meltdown
you don’t see this everyday 😉 Every now and then there is something that is just plain cool. This does not necessarily any theory to test or new invention, but the observation of space and how incredible the activity can be. Apparently some of the new space telescopes are so powerful they are capable of…
New Theory That Black Holes DON’T Exist
huh? Do you agree with this theory as one astrophysicist poses a theory on why. This study claims that they don’t which is a very shocking. As the title states, one astrophysicist has claimed something that the scientific community would mostly disagree with. Hey, at one time everyone thought the earth was flat right? Here…
At 13.4 Billion Light Years it is THE Most Distant Galaxy Ever Found
Wait what? Astronomers broke the record again by 200 million light years. Yo may or may not remember a recent story making its round on the internet about a galaxy that was 13.2 billion light years away. Its name is EGS8p7 and it may have been populated by exceptionally hot stars. Here is what they had…
They Sent “Space Messages” to the Edge of the Solar System
Why is no one talking about this? 434,738 people who participated in this bizarre experiment. There were also some other “questionable details” in regards to this particular endeavor! Very few people are talking about this. Apparently some scientists came up with a bright idea to send some names to Pluto….seriously. Here is a bit more detail…
Did You Know Space Particles Can Change Your DNA?
this guy just got back from space…seriously Scott Kelly spend a year in space and when he got back this happened. Wow is this guy crazy or crazy smart? Apparently he spent one year of his life in space and had some let’s say interesting changes. There is one very noticeable one btw. He has a…
Is There a Hidden Microscopic Universe?
Can you get your mind around THIS? Quantum physics and some of the latest discoveries may shed light on this question. We measure things with the doppler effect, light years and powerful telescopes. What about an infinitely small universe?? We are able to study protons and neutrons, electrons and now even quarks. What if there…
Does This Substance Indicate Life Existed on Mars?
could it be POSSIBLE? The evidence that life existed or exists on Mars is a very debated area. With the curiosity rover in 2015 getting taking never before seen pics of the Mars surface, there is a ton of additional data that some feel indicate life existed. And, if that wasn’t enough, they also detected…
They Found A New “Planetary System” In Our Own Galaxy
Wait what? Astronomers really think they have figured things out, they find something extremely unusual. If you have heard of brown dwarf stars or not, they pretty much straddle the line between stars and, at least in the way we are able to understand them. And depending on who you ask, it is kind of like…
Black Hole Galaxy Messier 106 May Have Some “Secrets”
Have you heard about this? This has BAFFLED astronomers for years. 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 light-years away, practically a neighbor by…
Is Searching For Aliens Really a Good Idea?
say this works…then what? An astronomy professor weighs in on the risks is we made contact. Most of us have an internal curiosity about what other life forms would look like, act like and just making contact in general. We are generally expecting aliens to be friendly (It may be human nature to think positively). One…
What Astronomers Found Was 13.2 BILLION Light Years Away
the space distance record has been broken… Astronomers beat the previous record that was estimated to be 12.9 billion light years away. Can you guess what they found? It wasn’t an individual star but actually a quasar. A quasar is different from a regular galaxy in that they have luminosities way higher. Many quasars for example…
70,000 Years Ago a Shooting Star Passed By At Close Range
Did you know about this? What is crazier the fact that his happened or that they figured it out? It is mind boggling what astrophysicists can figure out with math. Apparently we had a cosmic close call not that long ago. I guess by cosmic standards 70,000 years is a very short period of time…
Will We Ever be Able to Travel to Kepler 452b?
it is THE most Earth like exoplanet ever found… When NASA announced the finding of Kepler 452b it changed things. So would it make sense to try to travel there and see if this planet which likely has an atmosphere similar to ours has organisms? Well to most science fans, they know it’s distance would be…
“Magnetic Bubbles” At The Edge Of The Solar System
what are these things? Were you aware of a strange phenomenon happening in our solar system?. As telescopes and mathematical formulas get more sophisticated, the “things” we are finding continues to amaze astronomers and science fans alike. THEY found magnetic bubbles in our own area of the galaxy…really close actually by cosmic standards. Here is…
Top 10 Signs That Aliens Actually Exist
Are any of these right? Most astronomers and science fans think that aliens exist somewhere. Although we do not know for sure, the mathematical probabilities are very likely. There are over 100 billion visible galaxies in the known universe. And in that case known means which we can see. And, each one of these has…
Top 3 Ways Aliens Could Travel Across The Universe – UPDATE
are these CRAZY or actually possible… From S.E.T.I. to NASA a lot of theories have been posed on how to travel far in space. This is one of the most debated and discussed topics in all of science. How would extraterrestrials space travel? Would it involve some type of compound that doesn’t necessarily exist like…
