Note to the global warming hoaxers: Antarctica’s ice has not only not melted and flooded coastal cities around the world, there is actually more ice underneath the surface ice. And scientists believe there are vast secrets hidden there. As reported by the New York Post, they have discovered a very large object underneath the Antarctic […]

Bizarre flashes of cosmic light may actually be generated by advanced alien civilizations, as a way to accelerate interstellar spacecraft to tremendous speeds, a new study suggests. (Article by Mike Wall republished from Space.com) Astronomers have catalogued just 20 or so of these brief, superbright flashes, which are known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), since the […]

The biggest threat to humanity’s survival as a species on planet earth isn’t the green, cone-headed alien figures with oblong eye sockets that you see in the movies. It’s extraterrestrial microbes that some scientists fear could hop onto spacecraft and act as stowaways to quietly inhabit our planet and attack humans. These microbes, a new […]

Just a week after the launch of his first rocket, Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX plans to fly two people to the moon some time next year. Musk says he was approached by an unnamed pair of acquaintances who requested a week-long flight to the moon. He has not provided the pair’s identity or […]

More than four decades after the last man walked on the lunar surface, several upstart space entrepreneurs are looking to capitalize on NASA’s renewed interest in returning to the moon, offering a variety of proposals with the ultimate goal of establishing a lasting human presence there. (Article by Christian Davenport republished from WashingtonPost.com) The commercial sector’s […]

Of all the bodies in our solar system (aside from Earth), Jupiter’s moon Europa is thought to be one of the most likely to support life. NASA is planning two unmanned missions within the next ten years or so – one flyby and one landing mission – to find signs of life on Europa, or […]

NASA has discovered seven planets with Earth-like qualities orbiting a nearby star making them among the strongest candidates in the continued search for extraterrestrial life among  known exoplanets, or planets that exist outside of our own solar system. (Article by Darrell Etherington from TechCrunch.com) These new planets all inhabit another solar system which includes seven […]

Armed with data collected by NASA’s Chandra satellite, a group of researchers at the Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Connecticut believe they have new evidence to support the existence of dark matter – a mysterious unseen substance theorized to comprise more than 80 percent of the entire universe. Although dark matter reflects no […]

The planet Mars was not meant to support human life. With an atmosphere that is 100 times thinner than that of Earth and an average temperature of minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit, the red planet is seemingly uninhabitable. But that’s not stopping the UAE. The United Arab Emirates has announced plans to colonize Mars by the […]

Extrasensory perception, or ESP as it is commonly known, is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as “perception that occurs independently of the known sensory processes [hearing, seeing, touching, tasting and smelling]. Usually included in this category of phenomena are telepathy, or thought transference between persons; clairvoyance, or supernormal awareness of objects or events not necessarily known […]

For generations, scientists and the public alike have been fascinated by the tantalizing possibility that there may have once been intelligent humanoid-type creatures living on the planet we know as Mars. Until we reached the mysterious planet with our probes and rovers in the last few decades, all of this was mere speculation. But now […]

For about a decade, scientists have been able to detect fast radio bursts (FRBs), elusive and powerful flashes that last only a few milliseconds. In that time, only 18 FRBs have been detected. Now, for the first time ever, researchers have isolated the source of several FRBs. They are coming from a dwarf galaxy that […]

A self-styled alien hunter believes he has spotted a UFO during a live feed from the International Space Station. (Article from Independent.ie) John Craddick, from Wolverhampton in the UK, claims he has never seen anything like it before. He told the Mirror: “I’ve been watching it [the live feed] for years but never seen any […]

Analysis from NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover suggests the planet is covered in organic materials. Jennifer Eigenbrode, who is a biogeochemist and geologist working at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said she was convinced that organics are “all over Mars.” Eigenbrode brought up the discussion last week at a National Academy of Sciences workshop […]

The known observable universe has just expanded exponentially. As CNN.com reports, previous scientific thought concluded that there were approximately 100 – 200 billion distant galaxies. This number was calculated from Hubble Deep Field observations starting in the mid 1990s. Now, astronomers have adjusted that number substantially upward. They believe that there could be 2 trillion galaxies, or ten times as many as […]
