Unbelievable facts, recent scientific discoveries, and thought-provoking theories about space exploration and the Universe in general. Interesting reads for amateur astronomers, skywatchers, and anyone who would like to learn more about the universe we live in!
It seems that interstellar space has much more to offer than just a source of a great quantity of our water supply. It appears that, out there, past our solar system, there is new life being formed and molded. At least, there are basic building blocks of life in its…
Mars has held our curiosity for quite some time. Its similar size to our native planet gives hope that there may be many other similarities. Could the Nakhla meteorite tell us more? Since its location and temperature also make it seem like an inhabitable planet, we have kept our focus…
There have been rumors and rumors of rumors that say that the universe will be destroyed at any given moment. Warning signs are new each and every day, proclaiming that the conditions are just right for a cataclysmic happening. Is this true? Stephen Hawking wrote, in the preface of his new…
You see, there is a growing desire to return to the basics - a basic truth of our existence. Scientists are carefully sifting through the dusts of our beginnings. Do they fear that there is, after all, something more than the “big bang”? This is very possible. As of this…
Even a three-year-old child knows that the grass is green, the sky is blue and the snow is white. Everyone is aware that a day has 24 hours, and a minute has 60 seconds. However, there are not many who have ever wondered if the world is really as we…
Researchers at UCL University in England developed a new model that will allow scientists to detect life on other planets outside of our Solar System with the highest accuracy achieved so far. The model is based on the detection of methane, the simplest organic molecule whose presence in the environment…
The recent discovery of a great number of potentially habitable exoplanets raises the Fermi paradox again: why haven’t we still come into contact with intelligent aliens? Climatologists might have finally given a plausible answer. The great physicist of the 20th century Enrico Fermi, when asked about the possibility of the…
Physicists call them "wormholes", and in fact, they are the Einstein’s field equations for gravity. Theoretically, wormholes are tunnels that connect different points in spacetime. In simple words, if someone enters a wormhole located, for example, in our solar system, they can get to a remote location of the galaxy…
