What do we need for Space Exploration? Today, and for many decades, space exploration has been a worldwide goal. Through space explorations, we have collectively advanced our understanding regarding the “big bang” theory. We’ve also learned many things about other planets in our solar system, including their historic and current ability when it comes to […]
NASA Scientists Think ‘Singing Trees’ Can Bring Us Closer to Another World
Some NASA scientists have collectively devised a project they call, “Tree of Life.” The project is an adjunct to a bigger project that involves designing a rocket that will have the capacity to get to Proxima B, an exoplanet 4.2 light years distant from Earth. Unlike many Jupiter-like exoplanets, Proxima B has a surface temperature […]
Mars and Beyond: The Role of Robotic Explorers in Interplanetary Missions
Introduction Overview of Interplanetary Missions Interplanetary missions have long been a cornerstone of humanity’s quest to understand the cosmos. These missions involve sending spacecraft to other planets, moons, and celestial bodies within our solar system to gather data, conduct experiments, and explore unknown terrains. From the early flybys of the 1960s to the sophisticated […]
Scientists discover ‘superionic ice,’ a new form of water may lurk inside alien planets
Scientific research dealing with phenomena on celestial bodies and distant planets is almost guaranteed to yield interesting results. The newest experiment exposed a droplet of water squeezed between diamonds to an extremely powerful laser, which brought the temperature of water to the levels found on some stars. The result was a new water phase, very […]
8 Native American Scientists You Should Know
The contributions of indigenous people to the American society are not widely published and very few people are familiar with individual accomplishments. Even when we talk about the native inhabitants of these lands, we tend to focus on their history and not on their present day lives. November is the month when we celebrate their […]
Event Horizons: Venturing Beyond the Edge of Black Holes
Introduction to Black Holes and Event Horizons What is a Black Hole? A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This phenomenon occurs when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, compressing its mass into an infinitely […]
“Alien” invasions and the need for planetary biosecurity
When we explore space, we expose ourselves and our planet to the risk of an invasion. However, when we talk about this risk, we are not really thinking about some alien life form attacking humans. We are considering contamination on a microbiological level that can threaten our species, both animal and plants. The danger is […]
Wormholes could serve as stable conduits through space after all
At the basic level, the concept of a wormhole sounds simple enough. You need to connect a couple of black holes and the connection between them is a tunnel which can serve as a passageway for travelers through space. The idea itself is not new at all, and even Einstein considered its theoretical foundation. Recently, […]
Michio Kaku talks about UFOs and aliens, compares humans with squirrels – IBTimes India
Kaku is a known name among physicist and one can say that he even a certain celebrity status thanks to his willingness to tackle the subject of unidentified objects spotted in the sky. Recent declassified report by the American government sparked a renewed interest in this phenomenon, and it is not surprising that this famous […]
Russian anti-satellite missile test was the first of its kind
The latest test conduct by Russia aimed at destroying satellites marked an important point in the series of tests. This is the first time that such test was a complete success, resulting in destruction of one of the Russia’s own satellites. Concurrently, Russians also deployed technology that does not result in destruction of intended target. […]
