Neptune, the outermost planet in our solar system, has only been visited by one spacecraft, the Voyager 2 probe, over 40 years ago. Despite interest from planetary scientists, the planet’s extreme distance makes an orbiter or lander mission virtually impossible with current technology. However, a radical new idea proposes using the thin atmosphere of Neptune’s […]
Dozens of ‘UFO’ Reports Made to Feds Every Month, Pentagon Official Reveals
The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), responsible for handling reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), receives dozens of such reports monthly. As of April, the division had approximately 800 reports to investigate. Between August 2022 and April 2023, the AARO received 291 UAP reports, 274 of which occurred within that timeframe, while 17 were […]

Locals left terrified after giant disc-shaped ‘UFO’ spotted hovering over famous lake
A large, spinning object, akin to a UFO, was spotted by residents near Lake Zürich, Switzerland, causing a stir among the local population. The strange, brightly lit object was seen hovering in the night sky on October 15. Initially, it was speculated to be a nightclub light show, but the absence of a laser beam […]
A star is born! How cosmic winds are a key step in stellar formation
Astronomers have discovered a previously unknown process in star formation which could prevent infant stars from destroying themselves. This process involves “cosmic winds” that circulate around gas and dust clouds, which eventually collapse to form stars. These winds help to slow the spin of the forming stars. This discovery was made by scientists from the […]
Nearby asteroid may contain elements ‘beyond the periodic table’, new study suggests
A number of asteroids in our solar system are so dense that no known element on Earth can account for their properties. These asteroids, known as compact ultra dense objects (CUDOs), may be composed of naturally occurring “superheavy elements” that are not listed in the periodic table, according to new research. The existence of these […]
US Is Receiving Dozens of UFO Reports a Month, Pentagon Official Says – Slashdot
The article discusses the credibility of UFO sightings and reports, suggesting that the Pentagon could have established a system to limit sources or highlight more reliable reports for review. It suggests that the credibility of a report could be determined by the source’s aviation experience, such as whether they are a licensed aviator, have air […]
Earth’s core is leaking scientists suggest after making baffling discovery in lava
A recent study on lava deposits in northern Canada suggests that the Earth’s core may be leaking. The rocks from Baffin Island contain higher levels of the isotope helium-3 and a higher ratio of helium-3 to helium-4 than any other location on Earth’s surface. Helium-3 is a rare, primordial nuclide that has been present in […]
Building blocks of life found in OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample
Scientists have made a promising discovery in a sample collected from the asteroid Bennu. The analysis revealed the presence of water and large amounts of carbon, suggesting that Bennu may contain the building blocks of life. This supports the long-standing theory that asteroids and comets may have played a crucial role in delivering the materials […]
1st evidence of giant exoplanet collision afterglow explains unusual eclipse
An international team of astronomers has reported the first-ever observations of the aftermath of a collision between two giant planets in another solar system. The collision was first detected in December 2021 when the host star of the planetary system, 2MASS J08152329-3859234, dimmed. Follow-up observations suggest that the dimming was due to an eclipse caused […]
