If these new propulsion systems work… With the successful test of the early EM Drive the talk of future interstellar travel gets interesting. Interstellar travel is one of the most debated and fascinating topics in science fiction as well as science. The closest star is 4.37 light years away and it seems to be the…
These “Space Messages” Were Sent For Extraterrestrials To Find
Who even knew about this? Apparently 434,738 people participated in this historic experiment. It is kind of like sending a message in a bottle in the ocean…except the biggest ocean of space. There were also some other “questionable details” in regards to this mission! The New Horizons probe is carrying a CD-ROM with the names…
Planetary Science Institute Pics May Indicate Mars Lakes COULD Have Hosted Life
What do you think? The red planet has been hotly debated as a past or even current host for organisms. From the unusual structure pictures making their way around the internet to the discovery of a very thin atmosphere, there is differing evidence that this could be true. Now astronomers have discovered yet another formation…
THESE Were Hidden Behind The Milky Way
they were behind all the stardust until now… There were 100s of them that astronomers finally found. Apparently they found a treasure trove of galaxies that they never knew were there. Here is a bit more on this incredible finding: Astronomers have used radio waves to peer through the galactic mass and stardust of the Milky…
Saturn’s Newly Discovered Ring is HUGE
Do you know about this? Saturn may be the most mysterious planet in our solar system. As if things weren’t unusual enough with its symmetrical rings that have been debated and discussed for centuries, they just found one more enormous one. NASA may have discovered a big surprise in an undiscovered ring and here is…
Astronomers Observe The Universe With Gravity Instead of Light
Have you heard of LIGO? This is an absolutely fascinating new way to observe the cosmos. Most of us focus or think about the visual universe from the light wave or radio wave part of the spectrum. However, this new type of observation style is making a lot of waves (no pun intended) 😉 :…
Astronomers Locate A Planet Forming For The First Time Ever
Did you ever think they’d find something like that? Theories of planetary formation have been debated for centuries and NOW they see one. There has also been a lot of discussion about exoplanets lately as well as they may give us clues to what our solar system may have looked like in the early days.…
What is The Coldest Place In The Universe?
Do you know? Hint: It might not be as far away as you would think. Is it in some galaxy billions of light years away? Or perhaps on the icy surface of a planet far away from our solar system? This shows how to create pretty much the coldest place in the universe. Here is…
This Exoplanet Discovery Defies What Astronomers Thought They Knew
It doesn’t make sense… Apparently exoplanet is BAFFLING astronomers for this reason. This thing is as big as Neptune and it is made of pure rock. Almost always when a planet reaches this size, or at least those observed by astronomers it involves some or all parts gas. Here is a bit more about this find:…
“Gravitational Waves” Announcement This Thursday Could Be DISRUPTIVE
What do you think this means? Einstein’s theory of gravitational waves have never been “seen” and this week there is a major announcement. Most scientists think this theory is true (not everyone) and it has been tested decades ago with pocket watches. Here is a bit more on this exciting announcement: Scientists are set to make a…
Do You Know The Mystery Of The “Red Sprites”
What are those?? Is this relates to the northern lights phenomenon or something else? These were first suggested as a theoretical phenomenon by a Scottish physicist. However it wasn’t until 1989 that scientists first photographed them. In this video they are observed in Chile which has one of the best environments for astronomy with very…
Does Exoplanet Kepler 452-B Have An Inhabitable Surface?
Its the most “Earth like” planet ever discovered… The search for alien life just got more interesting with this exoplanet. S.E.T.I. for example started in the 1970s as a search method of sending and listening for alien signals in outerspace. There is actually a billionaire who has put up a lot of cash to retsart the…
NASA Spotted An Actual Dust Devil On Mars And Filmed It
now THIS is rare.. Have you ever seen a live dust devil on another planet? NASA has really outdone themselves on this one. 2015 was quite a year for astronomy as never before seen pics of the red planet have been transmitted back to view. There has also been a lot of recent evidence about a…
Do You Know What The Smallest Thing In The Universe Is?
Any guesses? Plenty of videos cover the largest distances that we can even imagine measured in light years! However this particular video examines: the smallest unit of measurement in the Universe, the Planck Length. So what is Planck Length? Is this just a subatomic particle, theory or something else? Here is a wikipedia excerpt about Max Planck:…
Could Life Exist Right Now On The Moon Titan?
The search for extreterrestrial organisms spans far and wide. From the S.E.T.I. program which began in the 1970s to the search for exoplanets, many different approaches have been taken. Extraterretrial life and/or simple organisms could possibly be found on other planets and moons in our very own solar system. At least this is what some astronomers think. What…
10 Galactic Mysteries That STILL Have Scientists Scratching Their Heads
Do you know about these? Astronomers STILL don’t know why these space mysteries are happening. This list shows a fascinating archive of galactic space mysteries with a great set of visuals for each topic. Discussions about the possibility of “dark matter” and black hole anomolies are frequently debated between astronomers and space fans alike. Here…
This INSANE Black Hole Emits Particles 3x As Wide As The Milky Way
Can you get your mind around that? Astronomers are calling this a real life Death Star and they have a pic. This is an insane discovery of a phenomenon that has caught a lot of attention and making quite a buzz. Here is what they found almost by accident by the astronomy community: According to…
“Mini Black Hole” Could Be Harnessed For Electricity…And Destroy Us
Is this a good idea? Scientist Stephen Hawking weighs in with this far out theory which might be dangerous. He is known as one of the most intelligent minds in science and has just posed a theory that could be a double edged sword…and one we potentially DO NOT want to mess with. It is…
Einstein’s Theory Of Relativity Tested Using a Radio Signal From Space
What will we learn about spacetime? This may be the most efficient way EVER. Einstein of course is the world-famous scientist who coined the theory of relativity and E = mc2. His face is parodied in many memes and movies and is known throughout the science and science fan community. Now researchers have come up…
What Are The Chances Of Actually Finding an Alien Civilization?
The “Drake Equation” is used by astronomers and it just changed.. The search for alien life continues strong and is not a topic reserved for those on the fringe. Scientists at MIT and Cornell are weighing in on things. The advent of exoplanets being detectable is making some news: The Drake equation describes “N”: the number…
