This is What Soviets Saw When They Landed on The Venus

Venera was a series of satellites launched by the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s to study Venus’ environment. It was also the program aimed at returning the first images of the surface of another planet. Over the course of the program, thirteen probes successfully reached Venus and transmitted data about planetary neighbour, eight landed successfully on the surface, and four returned pretty

New Research Shows That Time Travel Is Mathematically Possible

Even before the Einstein theorized that the time is relative and flexible, humanity had already been imagining the possibility of time travel. In fact, science fiction is filled with time travelers. Some use metahuman abilities to do so, but most rely on a device generally known as a time machine. Now, two physicists think that it’s time to bring the time machine into the real world — sor

A Giant 500ft Asteroid Is ‘Heading For Earth At 20,000mph’

What sounds more pleasant than a huge space rock flying towards us at 20,000mph? We'll tell you exactly what - the fact that it's expected to 'skim past' Earth. *Wipes brow* Yes, that's right - the end may be near but it's not this week, unless something else happens, of course. Did we just jinx it? According to The Sun, the asteroid, known as 2016 NH23, has been estimated to stretch betwe

It’s Official: Researchers Have Discovered A Second Earth

Researchers have confirmed the existence of a SECOND Earth located in the Proxima Centauri System. The planet is believed to have oceans just like Earth and may hay host alien life. In the past, thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in the universe, but none of them is like Proxima B. Proxima b, as has been baptized, has very ‘promising characteristics’: it is probably rocky, slig

Giant Liquid Water ‘Lake’ Discovered On Mars

Researchers have found evidence of an existing body of water on Mars, according to the BBC. The proposed 'lake' sits beneath the planet's south polar ice cap, and is about 20km (12 miles) across. Previous research found potential signs of intermittent liquid water flowing, but this is the first sign of a persistent body of water on the planet in the present day. ITV reported that dissol

Blood Moon: Stargazers set to witness the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century

The longest lunar eclipse of this century will occur later this month and lucky stargazers, in certain parts of the world, will be able to view this once-in-a-lifetime event. The bad news is it won’t be visible in North America. The best views will be in Africa and Asia, but those in Europe, South America and Australia will still get partial views, according to Nasa. It’s known as a b

Marijuana Contains “Alien DNA” From Outside Of Our Solar System, NASA Confirms

It's a big news, shocking, yet amazing, and entertaining to the world. But unluckily, it has nothing to do with aliens stoners melding with Earth's plants. But, since you're now reading, you'll almost definitely be concerned about this research that looked into the clicking and sharing activities of social media users reading content (or not) and then sharing it on social media. I have notice

NASA’s New Vasimr Plasma Engine Could Reach Mars In Less Than 6 Weeks

NASA recently delivered $10 million in funding to Ad Astra Rocket Company of Texas for further development of its Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR), an electromagnetic thruster proficient of propelling a spaceship to Mars in just 39 days. NASA’s funding was part of the “12 Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnership.” Ad Astra’s rocket will travel ten t

NASA Is Preparing This Girl To Become The First Human On Mars And She’s Only 17

People have been fascinated with “the final frontier” since the dawn of the day when space travel became possible, if not before. With movies like Star Trek and Star Wars being at the peak of popularity and the global reaction to Elon Musk’s SpaceX rocket launch, the interest in colonization outside of our planet has never been higher. But while some of us only dream of space travel, one gir

Archaeologists Found A Massive Black Coffin In Egypt, And The Internet Is Freaking Out

Referred to around the world as the ‘cradle of civilization’, Egypt has been a literal crypt of historical secrets. The newest discovery from beneath the cradle came in the form of a massive sarcophagus, constructed from black granite. Local authorities, in the Sidi Gaber district of Alexandria, came across the tomb during a routine archeological dig for a new building construction site. Measu
