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 […]
astrophysics
Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this will involve knowledge of astrophysics.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astrophysics.
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 […]
“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 […]
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. […]
ISRO scientists discover star-planet bigger than Jupiter
Mount Abu, in India, is the site where a new exoplanet has been sighted. HD 82139 is the name of the exciting new discovery. More than 700 light years distant from our Earth, HD 82139 is huge. It’s mass is equal to 1.5 times the size of our own yellow dwarf star/sun. Data shows that […]
The New Crisis Jour: Space War and Space Terrorism
It almost seems that terrorism and counter-terrorism measures trade blows continuously. As we consider the arena where this happens, we inevitable have to start thinking about this battle happening in space. After all, the idea that terrorists can attack us from the space is not that far-fetched, considering the technological advances and the increasing complexity […]
Exploring Alien Planets: New Cereal Box-Sized Spacecraft Has Mighty Goals
Looking for life on other planets and far away stars is an ambitious project, but it starts with smaller goals of exploring closer celestial bodies. With technological and scientific advancements, these more achievable tasks can be undertaken by organizations that are not necessarily as big as NASA. Many academic institutions entered this arena and their […]
Fastest orbiting asteroid found in our solar system
We have now found the faster orbiting asteroid in our solar system. Currently it takes around 113 days for a full rotation around the sun. This small asteroid is only .6 miles in size. It gets so close to the sun that its temperatures reach 900 degrees F. Due to this it is thought that […]
‘Substantial’ Number of Wandering Black Holes Could Be Roaming Galaxies
Scientists have long been aware of the existence of celestial entities of such gravitational intensity that no light can escape their perimeters. Such entities are called black holes. It’s furthermore been conjectured that it is the norm for such black holes to sit at the midpoint of every outsize galaxy. Data has revealed, however, that […]
