Last year, Kip S. Thorne collected a Nobel Prize (along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish) for his work on gravitational waves. Now, Thorne may have made a new breakthrough: a theoretical method for traveling through time. It involves black holes, a wormhole, and the stretching of space and time. The idea involves creating a wormhole whose two ends are respectively situated near Earth and t

NASA has released a batch of new images in its Hubble Messier Catalogue, giving us fresh looks at galaxies, nebulae, and more. Almost 250 years ago, French astronomer Charles Messier drew up a list of 103 major astronomical objects that could be seen from the Northern Hemisphere. After the Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990, astronomers began using it to take images of each object

From the middle of the complete and absolute void, in between the gravitational fields of stars, NASA has just received a response. After 37 years of being inactive, last November the NASA spacecraft Voyager 1 fired up its thrusters and communicated successfully with scientists on Earth, for the first time in almost 4 entire decades. Now communication is continuing and going well. Voyager 1 was

NASA will be unable to defend our planet against a doomsday asteroid that could smash into Earth in 2135, a chilling study has revealed. Researchers found that it might be impossible to stop the space rock - which is the size of the Empire State building - from careering into Earth next century. Scientists revealed that even their most advanced technology would prove 'inadequate' for deflecting

According to researchers, gravitational waves could be the very key component to help uncover the existence of another UNIVERSE. Physicists believe that there is gravity which is escaping into extra dimensions. An extra dimension would basically create a ‘tower’ of high-frequency waves, and change the way gravitational waves stretch space. If these changes are detected by experts than we m

Estimates by astronomers indicate that there could be more than 100 BILLION Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way that could be home to life. Think that’s a big number? According to astronomers, there are roughly 500 billion galaxies in the known universe, which means there are around 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (5×1022) habitable planets. That’s of course if there’s just ONE universe.

You don’t have to know a whole lot about science to know that black holes normally suck things in, not spew things out. But NASA detected something mighty bizarre at the supermassive black hole Markarian 335. Two of NASA’s space telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), amazingly observed a black hole’s corona “launched” away from the supermassive black ho
