Could These Mysterious Mars Formations Indicate Life?

Could These Mysterious Mars Formations Indicate Life?

They make a good point here… From potential water to unusual formations, Mars is hotly debated as a past and current environment for life.  In this latest theory, astronomers make quite an interesting point.  There is a place in South America called The Atacama Desert.  It is one of the driest places on our planet

5 Unusual Sounds We Have Detected From Space

Have you heard these mysterious sounds? You might be surprised at these absolutely bizarre sounds from space.  Usually we gaze at incredible pics of galaxies and quasars but how often do we pay attention to the sounds from space? The enclosed video is extremely fascinating and lists of 5 of the strangest sounds we’ve heard from

This Pulsating Star Was Found 53 Million Light Years Away

its showing some UNUSUAL properties.. Astronomers have detected a red pulsar so bright it is actually detectable in a galaxy 53 million light years away.  Up until now it was unconsidered to have any effect on the general brightness scale of a galaxy.  Apparently this star is so strong that it is actually affecting things in

10 Theories of the Universe That Will BAFFLE You

Do you know about these? This list of 10 bizarre theories about the universe include the “epkyrotic theory” and others.  A lot of these are difficult to get one’s mind around  because unlike typical science experiments in a lab, we are really posing theories about things that are billions of light years in distance from

NASA’s EM Drive Propulsion System Actually Works

the test results are in… It could theoretically get us to Mars in 70 days…seriously.  The extremely strong propulsion is based on microwaves.  Sure, warp drive concepts are interesting and fun to talk about, and who’s to say they couldn’t actually make progress in those areas one day but the EM Drive concept is something here

Do You Know Why These Ants Are In Space?

they took a rocket to the space station… This is an interesting experiment with ants that most poeple do not know about.  Apparently at Stanford University they initiated an experiment that examines ant behavior under different gravitational environments.  In addition it also encourages more students to get involved in science and space related studies.  Here is

Is This Mysterious Signal Coming From Space?

Have you heard about this? The “Alien Wow” signal from S.E.T.I. has been debated for decades 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

Astronomers Want To “Terraform” Jupiter…

Is this a good idea? The discussion of space travel also encompasses what we would do on another planet and the term terraforming has come up.  Basically that involves trying to manipulate a planetary environment so that life could flourish and make it more like earth.  So, how about Jupiter? So just what would it take

Potential “New Planet” Past Pluto And Why They Might Be RIGHT

in case you hadn’t heard there may be another HUGE planet in our solar system… Astronomers at Caltech are pretty certain they found it.  Although there have been many discussions about potential new planets in the past that turned out to be incorrect, this time more scientists think it is accurate and they explain why:

NASA Tests The XRS-2200 Engine And Its Amazing

this thing is INSANE… Check out this test which may be used in future space missions by NASA.  In the last year or so, NASA has made a lot of headlines with the discussions and tests of new kinds of propulsion systems.  They even tested an EM Drive propulsion successfully which is a “microwave” based

They Found A Planet With The Largest Orbit EVER

How long would it take? Put it this way it takes WAAAAY longer than one of our years.  The Earth makes one full orbit around our sun in a time frame we know as a year.  That is 3.154e+7 to be exact.  Now astronomers have found a planet that has the longest year that they have

NASA Tested a 3D-Printed Engine Part…And It Passed

it was a HYPERSONIC test.. You won’t believe the thrust on this thing when it fires up!  This is a milestone in terms of space travel potential and manufacturing efficiency.  On the heels of latest successful test, we will probably see reduced manufacturing costs and speed to market from NASA in many rocket engines.  Here

10 Amazing Facts About Super Massive Black Holes

these will BLOW YOU AWAY… Take a journey through some universal mysteries that are almost impossible to comprehend.  Black holes as you know are the famous formations at the center of galaxies that eat everything in their way.  However, there are some that are so massive they don’t necessarily make sense in terms of the

The Search For “Earth’s Twin” Continues

What technique are they using? And apparently this could be the answer to finding extraterrestrials…seriously.  There has been a lot of talk about exoplanets in that they may be a good area in general to focus on in the search for extraterrestrials.  The atmospheres and potential similarities to our planet make them a prescreened sample

A Massive Supernova Was Spotted In The Cigar Galaxy M82

there are TWO things involved here… In addition to the enormous supernova there is something else located there which remains a mystery.  The first unusual discovery is the really huge and cool supernova that is actually viewable in the galaxy which is 12 million light years away.  M82 is classified as a starburst galaxy.  In addition, there

Planet X aka Niburu Some Are Saying Might Not Exist

there is a HUGE BUZZ from astronomers about it… Astronomers who announced a possible large planet at the edge of our solar system are being debated.  What is hardly debated is that something is there.  Yesterday the two astronomers confirmed some very strong anomolies in the kuiper belt that would make it mathematically extremely likely for
