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
