Explorando os Enigmas do Superuniverso
Earth will be hit by an asteroid in future, similar to the one that killed off the dinosaurs. That will wipe out most, if not all forms of life. This will happen with a 100 percent certainty, say the B612 Foundation. While that might seem like they are a group of paranoid, conspiracy theorists, the Inquisitr […]
Could rotating wormholes, not black holes, be responsible for sending gravitational waves through space-time? A team of European physicists is exploring the possibility. Astronomers conclude the existence of black holes through numerous models, observations, and experiments. In 2015, data from the LIGO experiment has revolutionized the study of astrophysics when scientists confirmed Einstein’s theory of […]
NASA’s Opportunity rover on Mars has lost touch with its handlers back on Earth, probably due to a low-power condition brought on by a chokingly thick dust storm. The storm is covering an area of 14 million square miles, or a quarter of the Red Planet, NASA said today in a mission update. The solar-powered rover has […]
It’s notoriously tricky to measure the size of the Milky Way from within. Astronomers have trouble seeing the forest for the trees—or in this case, the galaxy for the stars. But a new study sheds some light on the size of our galaxy, suggesting that the stars at the galactic edge are about twice as […]
It’s hard to tell fact from fiction, especially when it comes to Science. There are several topics that are commonly regarded as scientific fact but are actually myths. Lightning never strikes the same place twice and the five-second rule are scientific myths commonly regarded as truths by many people, but it’s all made up. They […]
The ruddy, dust-swept world of Mars is rapidly converging on our own. Over the next several weeks, the orbits of Mars and Earth will grow ever-closer, culminating in a view of the red planet in the evening sky not seen in either brilliance or size since 2003.
If you’ve ever used a compass, you already know that the Earth has a magnetic field by which we can navigate. When the needle of our compass points north, it’s actually pointing toward Earth’s magnetic south — because, with magnets, opposites attract. But north as we know it has not always been. In fact, throughout the […]
During the 1970s, astronomer became aware of a massive radio source at the center of our galaxy that they later realized was a Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) – which has since been named Sagittarius A* and in a recent survey conducted by NASA, astronomers discovered evidence for hundreds or even thousands of black holes located in the same […]
It’s rare when a species goes extinct and people are glad to see it go. While that might be the case if the species is a mosquito or a rat, big cats are generally missed when gone. That wasn’t the case 25 years ago with the Zanzibar leopard. When they were declared extinct in the […]
On March 29, 2016, Albert Bender died at the age of 94. Most people with an interest in UFOs will know of Bender’s name. He was the man who thrust the Men in Black – and the mystery surrounding them – into the public domain in the 1950s. Bender was not the first person to […]
