A Monster Asteroid Bigger Than The UK Is Now So Close To Earth That It’s Visible To The Naked Eye

A gigantic asteroid with a surface area four times bigger than the UK has drawn close enough to our planet that it’s now visible without a telescope. The space rock 4 Vesta, which is the fourth largest known asteroid in the solar system, will light up the night sky until July 16. It recently came within 106 million miles of Earth – the closest it has reached us for 20 years. Vesta’s tot

The Internet Can’t Stop Trolling Flat-Earthers With 25+ Hilarious Memes

Millennials, the generation that thinks they know it all. Yes, we have unlocked all the secrets of the universe, including the REAL shape of the earth. According to a study by YouGovUS, millennials between the ages of 18 and 24 are more likely than any other age group to say they believe the earth is flat (4%).

Researchers in Costa Rica unearth a nearly ‘Perfect’ massive stone sphere

Excavations in Costa Rica have revealed a massive—nearly perfect—stone sphere, prompting experts to ask how such precision was achieved thousands of years ago. “We have studied the terrain in which there are more than 15 of these spheres, and some are placed beside areas that give access to residential buildings as if they were placed there to welcome you. They were used as a sign of hi

Scientists Say They Can Recreate Living Dinosaurs Within the Next 5 Years

Dinosaurs could potentially walk among us in real life soon as the paleontologist who inspired the original Jurassic Park movie has announced a research project to bring the extinct creatures back to life. Dr. Jack Horner says scientists are only 5 to 10 years away from genetically engineering dinosaurs into existence. According to a report by PEOPLE, Horner is working with scientists at Harv

NASA’s $1 Billion Jupiter Probe Just Sent Back Stunning New Photos Of Jupiter

Traveling above Jupiter at more than 130,000 miles per hour, NASA’s $1 billion Juno probe took its ninth set of stunning flyby images on October 24. But the sun slipped between the giant planet and Earth for more than a week, blocking the spacecraft from beaming home its precious bounty of data. Now that the conjunction is over, however, new raw image data from Juno’s ninth perijove — as

The Milky Way Galaxy Is Much Bigger Than We Thought

It’s no secret that the Milky Way is big, but new research shows that it may be much bigger than we ever imagined. The research, described May 7 in the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics,” indicates that our spiral galaxy’s vast rotating disk of stars spans at least 170,000 light-years, and possibly up to 200,000 light-years. It’s hard to fathom just how far that is. If you could rid

Australia Doesn’t Exit And People Who Live There Are Actors Paid By NASA – Flat Earthers Claim

There's a growing number of people who seem to think the world is, in fact, flat. But it gets better. They also insist that Australia is actually just one big hoax. According to a viral Facebook rant, the entire country (and presumably the 24 million people that live there) is completely FAKE. The idea resurfaced at a some recent gathering of the so-called Flat Earthers in the Birmingham rece

Everyone Is Applauding This National Geographic Cover But The Real Shock Lies Inside The Pages

National Geographic magazine has just launched an informative and shockingly revealing campaign called Planet or Plastic? and it is something that we all need to see and learn from. Many of us are aware that there is far too much plastic in our environment. We all feel a little guilty when throwing yet another single-use plastic wrapping straight into the trash, knowing that we are contributing

New Research Claims Octopuses Came From Space

A summary of decades of research on a rather 'out-there' idea involving viruses from space has recently been published, and it's raising questions on just how scientific we can be when it comes to speculating on the history of life on Earth. This may sound weird and strange but its serious. It's easy to throw around words like crackpot, rogue, and maverick in describing the scientific fringe,

The 12 Craziest Hubble Pictures Of All Time

The Hubble Space Telescope has continuously unleashed a stream of jaw-dropping intergalactic imagery since it launched on April 24, 1990. Not only do these images, which look more like paintings at first glance, allow researchers to study distant worlds, galaxies and nebulae, they have captured the minds of the general public, getting us genuinely excited about space exploration. But here’s some
