Taking Einstein's famous equations at face value and making as few assumptions as possible, a team of researchers has rewound the clock on our Universe to find it wouldn't lead to a stopping …
According to NASA's Center For Near-Earth Object Studies , the 'bolide' meteor (meaning it lit up the sky as bright as a full moon) soared with the impact energy of 540 tonnes of TNT exp…
Members of the Society For Planetary SETI Research (SPSR) have recently published a paper in the Journal of Space Exploration about certain features on the far side of the moon that appear in the cra…
SCIENTISTS are claiming to have created the first-ever "wormhole" - boosting hopes a portal that can transport matter light years across space could one day become reality. A wormhole is a …
So now it turns out, what we call the observable universe — the portion observable within our cosmological horizon, a.k.a the final frontier — has at least 10 times more galaxies than the mid-1990s H…
For the first time, scientists have successfully studied clouds and wind on the night side of Venus. And they’ve revealed that it's very different from the day side. That vital data comes from E…
We know, rocks and asteroids crash into the moon all the time and that’s the reason it's so cratered. But there's something about looking at it in action, that's pretty incredible. So exa…
WASP-39b is part of the Virgo constellation. It sits 20 times closer to its star (named WASP-39) than Earth is to the sun. Unlike Earth, it doesn't rotate—only one side of the planet faces the st…
A special thanks to Kunio Sayanagi at Hampton University, for his help with this video. The best way to explore a new world is to land on it. That's why humans have sent spacecraft to the Moon, V…
An international team of researchers has discovered that the gas giant, the largest planet in the Solar System, also has austral auroras ( south ) and that, against all odds, they act independently o…
X-ray light from the Perseus cluster of galaxies may finally reveal the true nature of one of the most mysterious substances in the cosmos: dark matter. Dark matter is a bizarre material that does no…
“We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct.” Niels Bohr spoke these words to Wolfgang Pauli about the …
The idea that we might be living in just one of an infinite number of universes has been fodder for scientific debate and sci-fi movie plots for a long time, but coming up with evidence to support th…
The census of galaxies just got a whole lot bigger. The observable universe is filled with ten times more galaxies than scientists previously thought there were, astronomers reported on Thursday. Res…
A new mathematical solution shows that the past of an object inside certain black holes can be erased and that this does not determine its future. So the saying that you can learn from your past and …
A New Discovery NASA just released evidence that a liquid water ocean that could support life lies beneath the icy surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The agency reports that the world has many of th…
