Secret Government Info Confirms First Known Interstellar Object on Earth, Scientists Say
An object from another star system crashed into Earth in 2014, the United States Space Command (USSC) confirmed in a newly-released memo.
Have We Detected Dark Energy? Scientists Say It’s A Possibility
Dark energy, the mysterious force that causes the universe to accelerate, may have been responsible for unexpected results from the XENON1T experiment, deep below Italy’s Apennine Mountains.
A Structure In Deep Space Is So Giant It’s Challenging Standard Physics
The Giant Arc is a newly-discovered structure spanning 3.3 billion light years, and it’s challenging our understanding of the universe.
Does The Milky Way Move Like A Spinning Top? (VIDEO)
An investigation carried out by the astrophysicists questions one of the most interesting findings about the dynamics of the Milky Way in recent years: that the precession, or the wobble in the axis of rotation of the disc warp is incorrect.
Surprisingly Dense Exoplanet Challenges Planet Formation Theories (PHOTOS, VIDEOS)
New detailed observations reveal a young exoplanet, orbiting a young star in the Hyades cluster, that is unusually dense for its size and age. Weighing in at 25 Earth-masses, and slightly smaller than Neptune, this exoplanet’s existence is at odds with the predictions of leading planet formation theories.
Scientists Discovered a Gigantic Structure in a Hidden Zone of Space (VIDEO)
An international team of scientists has discovered a filament of a fundamental structure known as the cosmic web hiding in the ‘Zone of Avoidance,’ and it’s one of the biggest structures ever seen by humans.
NASA’s Plan to Turn the Moon Into a Telescope Looks Like the Death Star
A newly funded concept envisions a kilometer-wide radio telescope built inside a crater on the far side of the Moon.
‘Are We Alone?’ Study Refines Which Exoplanets Are Potentially Habitable
Researchers are first to combine 3D climate modeling with atmospheric chemistry to explore the habitability of planets around M dwarf stars, which comprise about 70% of the total galactic population.
Nearby Planet Could Support Primitive Life, Scientists Announce
A super-Earth known as Barnard b might be far more habitable than previously thought.
NASA Finds Strange Alien Planet Hiding Outside Our Solar System
It’s very small and very cool.
Saturn Is Losing Its Rings At ‘Worst-Case-Scenario’ Rate
New NASA research confirms that Saturn is losing its iconic rings at the maximum rate estimated from Voyager 1 & 2 observations made decades ago. The rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ice particles under the influence of Saturn’s magnetic field.
Inferno Planets & The Goldilocks Zone: Here Are Kepler’s Most Awesome Discoveries (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
Launched in 2009, Kepler’s mission was actually born in the early 80s as scientists began to turn their attention to finding planets with similar characteristics to home. Here are just some of the cool discoveries made possible due to the intergalactic telescope.
Giant Planets Around Young Star Raise Questions About How Planets Form
Researchers have identified a young star with four Jupiter and Saturn-sized planets in the most extreme range of orbits yet observed around it, the first time that so many massive planets have been detected in such a young system — raising interesting questions about how such a system might have formed.
First Ever ‘Exomoon’ Discovered Orbiting Planet Outside Our Solar System – Study
Scientists have reported the first ever discovery of a moon orbiting around an ‘exoplanet’ – a planet that exists outside of the Earth’s solar system.
