NASA is hiding crucial details about asteroids that could THREATEN Earth, warns senior SETI Institute astronomer
On Dec. 3, a 70-cm asteroid entered Earth’s atmosphere and exploded over Siberia. The event underscored the risks posed by larger asteroids, which could cause significant damage or even global disasters. NASA and ESA monitor Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) but cannot cover the entire sky due to limited resources. The Siberian asteroid was detected just seven […]

Thick water ice found buried at Mars’ equator is enough to cover entire planet in water
In one of the most thrilling discoveries in our solar system in recent times, the Mars Express orbiter has detected a significant amount of water ice buried beneath the equator of Mars – and there’s so much there that it could cover the entire planet in an ocean if it melted. The probe is part […]

THREE IN ONE GO: Huge solar eruption hits Earth, the moon and Mars all at once for the first time in history
A solar storm hit the planet Earth, its moon and the neighboring planet Mars all at the same time – the first time that such an explosion was immediately measured on three planetary surfaces. While the solar storm was identified on Oct. 28, 2021, scientists who studied the event only reported their findings recently. The October 2021 […]

European Space Agency launches probe to search for alien life on Jupiter’s icy moons
A new chapter in the search for extraterrestrial life in space has begun, with the European Space Agency (ESA) launching a spacecraft to discover signs of life on other planets in the solar system. The ESA’s $1.75 billion Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft was launched Thursday, April 13, from the Guiana Space Center in […]

“Invisible” asteroids could hit Earth at any time, researchers warn
Researchers have warned that several unknown space rocks rendered invisible by the sun’s glare could be moving toward Earth. Although these asteroids are usually eliminated upon reaching the planet’s atmosphere, that was not the case with the Chelyabinsk meteor that hit Russia in 2013. The said meteor produced a shockwave equivalent to 35 Hiroshima atomic […]

Bizarre phenomenon where section of the sun splits and circles solar north pole baffles scientists
A bizarre phenomenon involving a portion of the sun’s surface splitting and circling the bigger body’s north pole – much like a polar vortex – has baffled scientists. Tamitha Skov, a space weather forecaster, first brought attention to the phenomenon through a tweet. She accompanied her post with footage of the phenomenon, which was taken […]

Newly discovered exoplanet appears to have nuclear fusion taking place in its core
An international team of scientists recently discovered an exoplanet that seems to have nuclear fusion ongoing in its core. Using direct imaging provided by the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft, the team headed by Sasha Hinkley of the University of Exeter in England found the exoplanet orbiting approximately 300 million miles away from the star HD 206893. […]

Scientists discover new solar waves that move three times faster than they thought possible
A new study published on March 24 in Nature Astronomy has found a new set of waves on the Sun’s surface that don’t fit current theories. Known as “high-frequency retrograde (HFR) waves,” the newly-detected waves travel in the opposite direction of the Sun’s rotation and emerge as a pattern of vortices on the Sun’s surface, moving […]

ESA researchers look at lunar dust as a potential raw material for constructing future manned outposts on the moon
It is almost always much cheaper and easier to make something using locally-available construction materials. That is why European researchers are testing the use of the space dust covering the surface of the Moon to build long-term structures on our planet’s satellite, an article in New Atlas reported. They came to this conclusion after experimenting […]

Researchers develop air-powered ion thruster engine that could be used in space missions
Did you know that scientists are looking for ways to improve current propulsion systems for existing satellites and future space missions? Indeed they are, and it seems that the experts working at the European Space Agency (ESA) have just come upon a potential solution. The ESA announced that it successfully tested a new prototype ion […]
