Here is a totally new and interesting theory on what happens in the center of a black hole! usually I don’t interject my opinions but it sounds fuzzy to me (no pun intended) There’s a common notion that at the edge of every black hole lies a back door to the universe — an exit…
Is There a 3 Mile High Pyramid on Ceres?
What do you think is this a pyramid that was built by a species? Or is it a coincidence and just a random formation on this moon. Plenty of observers have suggested — with varying degrees of seriousness — that the bright lights on Ceres could be evidence of current or past alien occupation of…
Top 10 List of Evidence There Is Alien Life
The quest for alien life is a fascinating discussion and is often debated. Some people are convinced aliens have abducted people and been here already with the building of the pyramids and crop circles. Others say it is complete bogus and even doubt there is life elsewhere in the universe. That being said we still…
They 3D Printed a Spacecraft Thruster
The quest for better and faster interstellar travel is a fascinating area. NASA has made huge strides and get ready for this, 3D printing is now in the mix: The world’s first spacecraft thruster with a platinum combustion chamber and nozzle made by 3D printing has passed its baptism of fire with a series of…
What’s the Difference Between a Pulsar and a Quasar?
Do you know the difference between a pulsar and a quasar? Or how about the history of their discovery? A pulsar (portmanteau of pulsating star) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing toward the Earth,…
50 Years Into the Future for Space Exploration
Here is an interesting look at what the next 50 years of space travel will bring in terms of missions, what is planned, and new capabilities. Some space travel fans seem to be focused on the more ambitious ideas such as creating a warp drive or plasma engine. Others are more focused on exploring our…
The Electric Earth Video
This is an absolutely fascinating video examining the properties of plasma from the sun and the electromagnetic field around earth: A fury is building on the surface of the sun. Heat generated in its core is released in towers of hot electrified gas, called plasma, that break the surface. Looping magnetic fields break the surface…
The Dwarf Planet Haumea is Mysterious and…

Decoding The Hidden Universe
The Hubble Space Telescope had uncovered so much about the universe and space that is mind boggling. Here is an incredible video showing off some of its findings and asks some great scientific questions: Twenty-five years ago, NASA launched one of the most ambitious experiments in the history of astronomy: the Hubble Space Telescope. In…
HD NASA Footage Falling Back To Earth
This is an awesome NASA video that would previously not been able to me captured without new camera technologies: A GoPro inside a fairing from a recent Falcon 9 flight captured some spectacular views as it fell back to Earth. Footage is played in real time. This video is also played to the backdrop of…
Space Travel..How Long Before We Can Reach Other Galaxies?
For many astronomers and science fans the question is when will we be able to reach other stars using interstellar travel? Dr. Michio Kaku has some interesting insight on the question: When discussing the possibility of interstellar travel, there is something called “the giggle factor.” Some scientists tend to scoff at the idea of interstellar…
Perfect Planet for an Alien
Extraterrestrials almost certainly exist if there are 100 – 200 billion galaxies we know about in the universe! And they think a planet perfect for alien life has been found: The planet, known as Kepler-186f, is “more of an Earth cousin than an Earth twin,” Elisa Quintana, an astronomer at the SETI Institute at NASA…
SpaceX Wants To Launch Internet in Outer Space
Elon Musk is on his way to perhaps launching the internet in space whoa?! Here is more on his ambitions: The prize: the chance to sell high-speed satellite internet connections to the billions of people throughout the world who don’t yet have access—and in the process become a global telecommunications company to rival giants like…
Solar Storm Prediction Tool
In 24 hours this new tool can come closer to predicting solar storms. This is rad and seemingly very useful. Here is more on the development: Scientists have developed a tool to determine if a solar storm is on its way, over 24 hours before it happens. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), where gas and magnetised…
10 Weirdest Things In Outer Space
This follow up is a video on the top 10 weirdest things in outer space! We just covered the 10 biggest things and it is hard to get one’s head around the enormous distances that some of these formations span. So what could some of these weird phenomenon mean about the universe and our place…
What is Space Fabric?
Most of us often think about space as either air, gas or nothingness. Not counting the planets, stars, meteors and the like but the gas and “space” in between all those things. This video examines more in depth on what space fabric might actually be: “The Fabric of the Cosmos,” a four-hour series based on…
Top 10 List of Biggest Things in the Universe
What are the biggest things in the universe? Are they mega galaxies or quasars? And we know that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system but what about other solar systems? This video lists 10 of the largest. Here is an intro: LARGEST PLANET TRES4 Located in the constellation Hercules, planet TRES4 is…
Anti Matter…What Is This Stuff?
Antimatter is often something from Superman comics and most physicists and astronomers take it’s existence to be a fact. Here is more on the exploration into this phenomenon: Explore one of the deepest mysteries about the origin of our universe. According to standard theory, the early moments of the universe were marked by the explosive…
How Are They Hunting For Black Holes?
These black hole hunters have taken the search to a new level. Here is a bit more on the event horizon telescope and how these astronomers are using it: “For most people, seeing is believing,” Dr. Agol said at the time. But there was a problem getting measurements any finer. The ionized electrons and protons…
NASA Invests In a Supersonic Jet Model
Awesome they are coming closer to making a supersonic jet with commercial uses. And it sounds like it is going to be eco friendly. Here is more background on this prototype: This isn’t NASA’s first attempt to bring back supersonic travel. The agency has been (literally) pushing the boundaries of flight for years. NASA’s predecessor…
