Massive Solar Storm That Will Slam Earth TOMORROW Could Knockout Power Supplies, Damage Satellites And Trigger Stunning Auroras

A huge solar storm is heading for Earth, and it's likely to hit tomorrow. The storm could knockout satellites, disrupt power supplies and spark stunning displays of the Northern Lights. It was created last week by an enormous explosion in the sun's atmosphere known as a solar flare, and charged particles from that flare are now on their way to our planet. The arrival of the solar storm coincide

Physicist Stephen Hawking Dies Aged 76

Everyone knew of Stephen Hawking's cosmic brilliance, but few could comprehend it. Not even top-notch astronomers. Hawking, who died at his home in Cambridge, England, on Wednesday at age 76, became the public face of science genius. He dies at his home, his family said. He appeared on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," voiced himself in "The Simpsons" cartoon series and wrote the best seller "A Br

Astronomers Admit: We Were Wrong—100 Billion Habitable Earth-Like Planets In Our Galaxy Alone

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.

NASA – Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever…

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

A Man Filmed Heaven For 7 Days. What He Saw Took My Breath Away

This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories. The goal was to capture the beautiful Milky Way galaxy along with one of the most amazing mountains I

Stephen Hawking Explains What Existed Before The ‘Big, Big Bang’

When the Big Bang happened, about 13.8 billion years ago, all the matter in the cosmos exploded from a singularity to produce the universe that we know today. But what existed before then? What existed before the start of time and everything? Professor Stephen Hawking says he might know just what existed. In a very recent TV interview, the famous physicist says that 'nothing was around before

Russian Satellite’s 121-Megapixel Image Of Earth Is Most Detailed Yet

There are many breath-taking NASA-provided "Blue Marble" images of Earth, but recently we experienced a different perception thanks to pictures taken by the Elektro-L No.1 Russian weather satellite. This perspective is quite different from NASA's pictures, Elektro-L No.1 Russian weather satellite generated 121-megapixel images that seize spectacular view of Earth. It captured the spectacular vi

NASA Sent A Signal 13 Billion Miles Into Space – And Got A Response THIS WEEK

Engineers from the Voyager team dug up decades-old data to send a message to the intrepid spacecraft 13 BILLION MILES AWAY asking it to repurpose thrusters that have not been fired since November 1980. Astonishingly, even travelling at the speed of light, the signal took more than 17 hours to travel from NASA to Voyager 1 out in interstellar space. Jet propulsion engineer Todd Barber said:

Surprise: NASA Has Confirmed That Earth Has A New Moon

Earth’s been hiding a little secret from its partner, the moon. Turns out the Earth has had a “mini-moon” on the side for over a century, and even though the relationship has been exposed, the partnership is likely to continue for centuries to come. This newly discovered moon is smaller than our moon and goes around the Earth astonishingly irregularly, but still, two is quite better than one

What If The Moon Was At The Same Distance As The International Space Station?

Ever wondered what would happen if the Moon was as close to Earth as the International Space Station (ISS)? Well wonder no more, thanks to this video. It was created by the channel yeti dynamics back in 2013, but has been doing the rounds again after being posted on Reddit. It shows what would happen if, rather than being at its current distance of 380,000 kilometers (238,000 miles) on average,
