Oxygen on Saturn

The Cassini spacecraft has captured molecular oxygen ions around Dione, an icy moon of Saturn, confirming the presence of a very thin atmosphere. The oxygen ions are very rare (one for every 11 cubic centimetres), showing that Dione has an extremely thin neutral atmosphere. The detection of this thin atmosphere, known as the exosphere, is […]

26 billion kWh hit earth’s upper atmosphere

A recent flurry of eruptions on the sun had done more than spark pretty auroras around the two poles in earth according to scientists Researchers, funded by NASA say that the solar storms that started from March 8 and ended in March 10, dumped enough energy in Earth’s upper atmosphere to power every residence in […]

NASA publishes new videos of the Moon

During its mission, the Galileo spacecraft returned a number of images of Earth’s only natural satellite. Galileo surveyed the moon on Dec. 7, 1992, on its way to explore the Jupiter system in 1995-1997. This color mosaic was assembled from 18 images taken by Galileo’s imaging system through a green filter. On the upperleft is […]

A massive solar wind was sent earthward due to magnetic disturbances

A massive solar wind was sent earthward due to magnetic disturbances According to scientists, some powerful magnetic disturbances in Sol’s corona have thrown a large burst of charge particles into space on March 4, 2012. The solar storm erupted from the sunspot AR 1429 at 11:13 PM and according to reports from NASA, it is […]

Stars of the Antila Dwarf Galaxy

The myriad faint stars that comprise the Antlia Dwarf galaxy are more than four million light-years from Earth, but this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers such clarity that they could be mistaken for much closer stars in our own Milky Way. This very faint and sparsely populated small galaxy was only discovered in 1997. […]

NSA Launches Rocket into the Aurora Borealis

NSA Launches Rocket into the Aurora Borealis Astronomers from NASA have successfully launched a NASA-Funded rocket into the aurora borealis which is commonly known as the northern lights. The 46-foot rocket, the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Alfvén resonator (MICA), launched from the Poker Flat Research Range, 30 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska. The rocked arced 200 miles […]

First intermediate-Mass Black Hole discovered by researchers

Through the Hubble Space Telescope, researchers have been able to discover a black hole that is surrounded by a cluster of young blue stars. Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers found a cluster of young stars that are encircling the first intermediate-mass black hole that was once at the core of a now-disintegrated dwarf galaxy. […]

Earth barely escapes an asteroid rendezvous

Astronauts have said that our planet earth barely survived a collision with an asteroid which they claim was the size of a bus. However, experts say that they are not concerned about the impact that the collision would have had. This finding is certainly not a shocker as such types of asteroids are rarely seen […]

Andromeda Core peeped in by Hubble Space Telescope

The NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has successfully peeped into the rare blue stars in the Andromeda Core. The rare discovery was made when scientists were looking deep into the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy. According to Astronomers, who used Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3, there are roughly 8,000 blue stars within 2,600 light-years of the core of […]

Malevolent Aliens

Malevolent Aliens To believe the warnings of Stephen Hawking, one might have to imagine  Christopher Columbus discovering America, with the Earth in the role of Native Americans.  Scientist believe that the Aztec Empire in South America were the first ones to predict an attack from aliens, as they are also considered two thousand years ahead […]
