There is a massive black hole with millions of times more mass than our sun is plunging towards Earth and will one day annihilate life as we know it. This particular black hole is coming towards us at 110 kilometers per second and...
It may have been as large as the dwarf planet Ceres. In October 2018, astronomers observed an approaching small meteorite that was supposed to impact somewhere in Northern Sudan. Fortunately, there was no serious damage as the meteorite,...
Watch the moment a spacecraft lands on an asteroid some 300 million kilometers away. A spacecraft from Japan visited an asteroid measuring approximately one kilometer in diameter called Ryugu (officially designated 162173 Ryugu). In...
Weather Permitting–October 2020 Is the perfect month to observe the red planet. Mars is expected to outshine not only Jupiter but Sirius as well, in a cosmic event that will not repeat until the year 2035. Mars will be closer to...
Don’t miss the Orionids meteor shower and the Full Moon Blue Moon. October has proven to be quite a month for skygazers. The Month started with the Full Hunters Moon and Mercury at the greatest Eastern Elongation. We saw the Draconids...
The driest region on Earth is Antarctica’s Dry Valleys, which haven’t seen rain in almost 2 million years. This region receives no precipitation and covers an area of 4800 square kilometers with no water, ice, or snow. Lake Vida,...
A large asteroid that could someday be headed directly for Earth would pack a tremendous impact force 1,500 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs combined, the newspaper Express warned. The British daily cites NASA sources...
Look carefully, and tree rings can reveal quite a lot – including changes in the soil moisture that the trees are growing in. Now, scientists have collected 600 years of this data to better understand recent climate change, including...
While exploring the lunar surface, China’s Chang’e 3 lander discovered a new type of moon rock, and managed to snap THOUSANDS of high-resolution images of the moon. For the first time ever, you can take a peek at the lunar surface...

Last year, Kip S. Thorne collected a Nobel Prize (along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish) for his work on gravitational waves. Now, Thorne may have made a new breakthrough: a theoretical method for Traveling through time. It involves...
The υпiverse is fυll of sυrprises, bυt two discoveries iп the oυter solar system are domiпatiпg astroпomy пews this week. First, astroпomers reported yesterday that they have foυпd a distaпt, tiпy world – a small,...

Our Universe May Have Emerged from a Black Hole in a Higher Dimensional Universe The event horizon of a black hole — the point of no return for anything that falls in — is a spherical surface. In a higher-dimensional universe,...
Scientists from Kyoto University teamed up a forestry company in order to investigate how wood could be used in space. The aim is to prevent pollution in the upper atmosphere which occurs when conventional satellites burn up on re-entry. Trending Takao...
Did you know that the remnants of an ancient planet are buried deep within the Moon? Although we have successfully landed on the Moon and explored its surface the best way possible, the Moon, its origin, and History remain a profound...
The block universe theory says that our universe may be looked at as a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime, containing all the things that ever happen, explained Dr. Kristie Miller, the joint director for the Centre for...
Humans are on track to live and work on the Moon by 2030, a NASA official has said. “We’re going to be sending people down to the surface and they’re going to be living on that surface and doing Science,” said Howard Hu,...
Scientists are occasionally questioned about whether they undertake new experiments in the lab or continue to duplicate prior ones with predictable results. While most scientists do the former, scientific growth also depends on doing...
According to various sources, NASA has their eyes on a huge golden asteroid, and this particular space body could make us all billionaires. Referred to a Psyche 16, this ‘golden egg’ is located between Mars and Jupiter, and is...
NASA recently detected a massive thermonuclear explosion coming from outer space. The culprit seems to be a distant pulsar, the space agency reports, which is the stellar remains of a star that blew up in a supernova but was too...
