X-Ray Pulse Detected Near Event Horizon

On Nov. 22, 2014, astronomers spotted a rare event in the night sky: A supermassive black hole at the center of a galaxy, nearly 300 million light-years from Earth, ripping apart a passing star. The event, known as a tidal disruption flare, for the black hole’s massive tidal pull that tears a star apart, created ...

Milky Way Heading for Catastrophic Collision

New research led by astrophysicists at Durham University, UK, predicts that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) could hit the Milky Way in 2 billion years’ time. The collision could occur much earlier than the predicted impact between the Milky Way and another neighboring galaxy, Andromeda, which scientists say will hit our galaxy in 8 billion years. ...

Unusual Supernova Opens a Rare Window on the Collapse of a Star

An unusual supernova studied by multiple telescopes, including the SOAR telescope and other telescopes at the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) and NSF’s Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO), is thought to herald the birth of a new black hole or neutron star, caught at the exact moment of its creation. Observations ...

Citizen Scientists Find New World With NASA Telescope

Using data from NASA’s Kepler space telescope, citizen scientists have discovered a new world, a planet roughly twice the size of Earth located within its star’s habitable zone, the range of orbital distances where liquid water may exist on the planet’s surface. The new world, known as K2-288Bb, could be rocky or could be a gas-rich ...

Study Creates Roadmap For Responsible Geoengineering Research

Simply reducing greenhouse gas emissions probably is not going to be sufficient for the planet to escape catastrophic damage from climate change, scientists say. Additional actions will be required, and one option is solar geoengineering, which could lower temperatures by methods such as reflecting sunlight away from the Earth through the deployment of aerosols in ...

Are We Part of an Intergalactic Federation of Worlds? Some Say Yes!

While scientists at NASA and other space agencies are yet to confirm the existence of aliens, some speculate that not only do extra-terrestrial life forms live among us, but that Earth is actually part of a vast intergalactic federation of worlds. Two organizations that stick to this view are “The Galactic Federation of Worlds” and ...

Nazi UFO Technologies

During World War II, allied aircraft pilots often reported having seen various UFOs in the skies. While some of them were dismissed as hallucinations, a few evoked enough interest from higher officers that a detailed investigation on the matter was ordered. It was later concluded that the UFOs could have been advanced German aircraft developed ...
