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 […]

The beleaguered Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) recently posted over 12 million pages of previously declassified material on its “CIA Records Search Tool database.” As reported by Wired, this translates into approximately 930,000 documents, most of which are a collection of “magazine and newspaper articles” that the CIA would comb through in pre-internet days for data gathering. While most sleuths may not be […]

A “gravitational anomaly” buried beneath the ice of Antarctica recently sent the Internet into a buzz of speculation, with suggested explanations including everything from UFOs to a gateway to the hollow center of the planet. But the explanation suggested by scientists is perhaps more remarkable still: that the anomaly, known as the Wilkes Land mass […]

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology (MIT) and NASA are building a DNA detector to search for evidence of life on Mars. (Article by Andrew Follett from DailyCaller.com) MIT and NASA think rocks flying between Earth and the Red Planet may have contained micro-organisms capable of surviving the environments of both worlds. Researchers think finding DNA […]

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 […]

With a diameter of about 3,476 kilometers the Moon is a quarter the size of Earth, all other moons in our solar system orbit their planets around the equator, our moon does not, and there are lunar rocks that have been found to contain PROCESSED METALS such as Brass, Mica and Uranium 236 and Neptunium 237. […]

People don’t spend a lot of time thinking about the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) these days, it seems. Since aerospace travel isn’t seen as the technological miracle that it once was, people often pass off NASA as a thing of the past. Donald Trump is not one of those people, apparently. And that could […]

The results of NASA’s tests on the ‘impossible’ EM Drive have been leaked, and they reveal that the controversial propulsion system really does work, and is capable of generating impressive thrust in a vacuum, even after error measurements have been accounted for. Article by Fiona McDonald The EM Drive has made headlines over the past […]

The moon’s orbit is elliptical, therefore its distance from earth can fluctuate by 30,000 miles. The place in orbit where the moon is closest to earth is called perigee. Syzygy is when the sun, earth and moon all line up as the moon is orbiting the earth. When perigee and syzygy occur simultaneously with the […]

A manufactured aluminium object has recently gained lots of attention after being kept secret for decades. What makes it special is that it dates back to a time far prior to 200 years ago, when humans started producing metallic aluminium. The baffling object appears to have been hand crafted and there’s a lot of speculation […]

Our galaxy’s weirdest star, KIC 8462852, is even weirder than previously thought, showing changes never observed before in a star like this. Article by IFL Science To quickly recap, last year it was announced that the object experienced dramatic and rapid changes in brightness, which led to the wild speculation that the object was surrounded […]

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has outlined his highly ambitious vision for manned missions to Mars, which he said could begin as soon as 2022 – three years sooner than his previous estimates. Article by Nicky Woolf However, the question of how such extravagantly expensive missions would be funded remains largely in the dark. “What I […]

Tiangong 1, China’s first space laboratory, will come to a fiery end in late 2017. The average decommissioned satellite either burns up over a specific ocean region, or is ejected to a far-off orbital graveyard. But Tiangong 1’s demise is shaping up to be something different. Article by Ben Guarino Chinese officials appeared to admit […]

The magic school bus has leaped from the pages of childhood fiction and onto the physical road. The Aerospace giant, Lockheed Martin, recently created a school bus that simulates the experiencing of coasting along the planet Mars. The national initiative is trying to bring “the science of space into thousands of homes and classrooms across […]
