What traits, according to scientists, would alien visitors from outer space have? In recent decades, as mankind endlessly talks about alien life, it seems that the time and duration of this contact is one of the most important issues occupying our minds. Books, movies, and music dedicated to aliens demonstrate…
New research of two scientists from Shanghai University suggests that it is possible that there is a wormhole in the middle of the Milky Way. Sagittarius A* It is estimated our galaxy has a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* at its center, which is an object with a mass…
For the first time, scientists have simulated the evolution of the universe on a computer and have got such accurate results. The digital universe seems indistinguishable from the real one. The computer model will help test theories about how the universe works and what it consists of. A group of…
The mysterious dark matter that fills the entire universe could make devastating asteroids and comets fall onto the Earth, causing mass extinctions, including the one of mankind. American physicists claim to have found evidence for the correctness of this theory in craters on the surface of the Earth. Lisa Randall…
Hitherto unseen, these formations seem to transfer water over long distances and might affect the global climate. The existence of these giant vortices, which can reach a diameter of 150 km, was known from previous observations. Their role in ocean circulation was difficult to study, as the limits of these…
Tomorrow the moon will be painted the color of the fire. It will be possible to witness a rare phenomenon of the blood moon eclipse, which some argue to herald the "end of the world". The astrological phenomenon, which takes place every 500 years, is called "tetrad" and involves four…
New data from NASA's Fermi Space Telescope show that the center of our galaxy produces far greater amounts of high gamma-ray energy. The origin of these gamma-rays could possibly be explained by the presence of the mysterious dark matter. A team of scientists led by astrophysicist Dan Hooper of the…
It seems that our solar system just became a bit bigger. Well, at least, potentially. A potential planet in one of the most remote orbits ever recorded is detected by the Blanco telescope in Chile. The limits of our Solar System seem to be continually expanding, as the newfound celestial…
