Space junk is an imminent menace to communications satellites, scientists are warning. Satellites, particularly of a military variety, are already under potential threat from ground-based hostile aggressors with missiles, lasers, kinetic weapons, cyber attacks, and other disruptive measures. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, as it were, to realize that space trash left behind […]

Many a scientist has speculated as to the prospect of extraterrestrial life eventually making its way to earth. But billionaire aerospace entrepreneur Robert Bigelow is convinced that alien life is already among us, and that many people just don’t realize it yet. Bigelow, who’s reportedly invested millions of dollar into UFO research over the years, […]

A recent conference on space rubbish revealed that more than 750,000 pieces of dangerous debris currently orbit the earth. According to experts, these debris may threaten the future of spaceflight. The experts noted that more than 5,250 launches have been conducted since 1957, which accounted for more than 23,000 tracked objects found in orbit and around […]

Everything we think we know about our planet, our civilization, our history and the origin of modern humankind may not be correct – in fact, it may be wildly inaccurate. For years, Graham Hancock, a “renegade” historian, has pushed a theory that human beings evolved much sooner than we now believe, and that there was a […]

Solar flares may negatively impact the planet’s power grids, railway systems, and underground pipelines through a phenomenon called geomagnetically induced currents (GICs), a recent study found. These effects may disrupt food logistics, manufacturing, electronic transactions and internet functions, experts warn. To examine how solar storm-induced GICs affect the planet’s structures, scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) collaborated […]

If there is alien life out there, it might be anything but organic. According to one prominent astrophysicist, aliens could very well be machines. “My guess is that if we do detect an alien intelligence, it will be nothing like us. It will be some sort of electronic entity,” Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and […]

The surface of Mars may be a dusty wasteland now, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t have supported life before, according to alien hunters. As reported by DailyMail.co.uk, alien hunters claim to have discovered photographic evidence that Mars may have been covered with vegetation at one point. An image taken by the Curiosity rover on […]

New Mexico-based ARCA Space Corporation has unveiled a concept for a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) rocket called the Haas 2CA. The STTO rocket is only the most recent development in a series of rockets being developed by the company. The Haas 2CA, named after rocket pioneer Conrad Haas, uses a linear aerospike engine instead of traditional bell-shaped engine. This allows Haas 2CA […]

Does life exist outside of our planet? According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it very well could. Enceladus, one of Saturn’s 62 moons, was recently discovered to have everything needed to support life. There could very well be living things flourishing underneath its icy surface, reports Independent.co.uk. Thanks to new information from […]

What would happen if an asteroid slammed into the earth? Researchers from the University of Southampton concluded that the most devastating effects would be wind blasts and pressure shock waves. According to the researchers, “overpressure can rupture internal organs, while a wind blast dislocates bodies and objects to cause harm.” The estimated human death toll is […]

Dark energy is not so dark anymore…or existent. A new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society asserts that the enigmatic dark energy doesn’t really exist. For the last two decades, it was believed that 68% of the universe was made from dark energy (in contrast, dark matter makes up 27% […]

The Golden State has more to offer than its beautiful mountains and beaches. According to a new book, California is the state with the most number of UFO sightings in the United States. Self-published by two authors, Cheryl and Linda Miller Costa, the book is called: UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2015. […]

The European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC) warns that extreme space weather can damage critical infrastructure in the European Union (EU). In their new report, researchers at the JRC identified gaps found in current industry and science policies regarding the reduction of risks related to space weather and provided recommendations that would close these gaps. […]

If robots taking over the world doesn’t keep you awake at night, how about an alien quarantine of the human race? The quarantine idea is one advanced by longtime ufologist Stanton T. Friedman, a retired nuclear physicist. One of the original Roswell incident investigators, Friedman has published numerous papers and other accounts on extraterrestrials (ETs) […]

Astronomers have detected a supermassive black hole blazing its way through space at a speed of approximately five million miles an hour. At this speed, it could cover the distance between the moon and the Earth in only three minutes (as a reference, Apollo missions take around three days to reach the moon. The fastest […]
