Exoplanet Rotation Was Measured For The First Time EVER
it is 5x the size of Jupiter.. You can add this to the list of cool exoplanets findings. The last few years have been incredible in terms of the data we have gotten back on exoplanets. The most famous of course is kepler 452-b which is known to be the most “Earth-like” out of all the…
Laser Propulsion System By NASA Aims to Get to Mars in 3 Days
Wait…what? Electromagnetic acceleration is what this technology is based upon. Have you ever heard of that term before? Apparently at least one NASA scientist is staking a big claim upon this as a potential propulsion system. Here is what he had to say about it in a recent paper: “Electromagnetic acceleration is only limited by…
NASA Tests a Microwave Propulsion System and it Worked
Could future space missions extend beyond the solar system? Does this new engine defy the laws of physics? Could this really possible? Multiple scientists from the United Kingdom as well as from China and even now from NASA that says this new type of engine does not require a propellant and needs no sunlight. So how…
Why Is There a Pyramid on Ceres 3 Miles High?
simple geography or SOMETHING else? Ceres is the largest object between Jupiter and an asteroid belt and has some mysterious features.

This is a brief excerpt…
Can Exoplanets “Hear Us” If We Send Signals?
What is the likelihood of Kepler 452-b being able to hear us, or any other exoplanets for that matter? The Kepler telescope by the same name has discovered over 500 more “exoplanets of interest” that may lend themselves to further examination. How we “examine” them depends on what would be the most effective way. Some…
NASA’s New Rocket Will be the Most Powerful Launch Vehicle EVER
