With wires and soda cans, a 12-year-old Senegalese boy built a telescope that allows him to see the surface of the Moon… The interest in space phenomena and the hours of reading the book, The Whole Universe, was what prompted Malick Ndiaye to design a telescope with the few resources he had. The boy born

Flat Earther Spends $20,000 Trying To Prove Earth Is Flat And Accidentally Proves It’s Round… In what may be one of the most enjoyable TV moments we can recall, a bunch of conspiracy theorists unintentionally spent thousands of dollars to show that, yes, the Earth is round. A scene from Behind the Curve, a new

Space rocks that fell to Earth within the last century contain the five bases that store information in DNA and RNA, scientists report April 26 in Nature Communications. These “nucleobases” — adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine and uracil — combine with sugars and phosphates to make up the genetic code of all life on Earth. Whether

German Professor Who Is A Hardcore Star Wars Fan Turns His Observatory Into R2-D2… A German professor has turned an observatory into a massive R2-D2. Dr. Hubert Zitt, a professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Zweibrücken, is a specialist in electrotechnology and Star Wars. Despite the fact that Zitt only got a PhD

NASA Dragonfly Bound for Saturn’s Giant Moon Titan Could Reveal Chemistry Leading to Life… Artist’s Impression of Dragonfly on Titan’s surface. Taking advantage of Titan’s dense atmosphere and low gravity, Dragonfly will explore dozens of locations across the icy world, sampling and measuring the compositions of Titan’s organic surface materials to characterize the habitability of

Black holes are one of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the universe. They are regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape their grasp. The idea of falling into a black hole is a terrifying prospect, but what exactly would happen if you were to fall

Planet Nine continues to “hide in the shadows,” whether it is real or not. Now, scientists have a new way to look into the object in space that has been hard to find. A report from Science Alert shows that this is because astronomers may have seen Planet Nine without knowing it as early as

The Big Bang May Have Created A ‘Mirror Universe’, Where Time Runs Backwards…. In November 2018, three scientists from the famous Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, suggested an astounding theory: the Big Bang spawned not just the known universe, but also a universe that is “its reflection in the mirror.” A universe

Stephen Hawking’s Final Research Predicts The End Of The Universe And Existence Parallel Universes… Stephen Hawking, a well-known scientist, wrote an article two weeks before he died that talked about parallel universes and the end of our own. Hawking and co-author Thomas Hertog put their findings in a book called “A Smooth Exit from Eternal

Saturn is officially losing its rings — and they’re disappearing much faster than scientists had anticipated… Saturn, the sixth planet from the sun and one of the most visually stunning objects in the solar system, is losing its rings. This discovery, made by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, has surprised scientists, as the rings are disappearing much

Lost Weather Balloon GoPro Found Two Years Later With Incredible Video of Earth from Space… Five friends in Arizona planned to send a GoPro, a camcorder, and a phone up in a weather balloon to record some footage of space. Bryan Chan, Ved Chirayath, Ashish Goel, Paul Tarantino, and Tyler Reid, all college students, built

A huge galaxy seems to appear out of nowhere and surround our own. Now, scientists have found a completely new moon on the edge of our own Solar System. The moon, which is about 161 km (100 miles) in diameter, has been found orbiting Makemake, the second brightest frozen minor planet, way out in the

17-Year-Old Student Discovers A New Planet On The Third Day Of Internship At NASA… Wolf Cukier was a junior at Scarsdale High School in New York. During his junior year, he got a two-month internship with NASA. So he went to Greenbelt, Maryland, to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. As part of the Planet

Astronomers Find A Potential ‘Major Planet’ Orbiting A Dead Star That Can Support Life For At Least 1 Billion Years Into The Future.. It turns out that stars like our sun don’t have to be strong and alive for planets to be able to live around them. Scientists found what might be a “major planet”

BREAKING: Astronomers just Detected First Ever ‘Coherent’ Radio Signal from an Alien Planet just 12 lightyears away… If there really are aliens out there, they probably have working compasses.That’s because scientists have picked up ‘coherent’ radio signals from a planet 12 light years away from Earth, which suggest it has a magnetic field. Magnetic fields

This is Huge: Scientists Successfully ‘Warp’ Time In The Lab, Based On Einstein’s Theory… Scientists have recently found a way to “warp” time on the smallest scale ever. Einstein’s theory of general relativity says that when there are strong gravitational fields or very fast speeds, time may be bent. This is called the slowing down

Physicists: We Are On The Verge Of Discovering Fifth Dimension And It Will Change Everything We Know About Physics… Scientists are sometimes asked if they do new experiments in the lab or just keep doing the same ones over and over again because the results are always the same. Most scientists do the first thing,

NASA said that its Kepler spacecraft has spotted “Earth’s bigger, older cousin“: the first nearly Earth-size planet to be found in the habitable zone of a star similar to our own. Though NASA can’t say for sure whether the planet is rocky like ours or has water and air, it’s the closest match yet found.
