(Natural News) Many asteroids are classified as Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and considered as the biggest threats to humanity. In technical terms, a NEO is any small solar system body whose orbit brings it into proximity with Earth. Not all NEOs pose a threat to the planet, but the large ones always raise concern. These objects may […]

(Natural News) The political left is really upset about a popular show on Netflix that suggests humanity in its current form may not be all that advanced after all. Civilizations of the past, claims Ancient Apocalypse, which has been dubbed “the most dangerous show on Netflix,” may have been far more advanced than civilization as […]

(Natural News) Scientists recently discovered that an asteroid that hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs millions of years also sent mile-high tsunamis crashing into North America. They found proof of this event through fossilized “mega-ripples” buried within sediments in the central Louisiana area. The finding contributes to the larger search for evidence of the […]

(Natural News) Billionaire Elon Musk earlier this month said that he’s planning to sell his last house – his property in California’s Bay Area. He has repeatedly said he plans to sell most of his possessions, including all his houses, to fund a colony on Mars. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO said he wants to send 1 million people to […]

(Natural News) An asteroid simulation exercise led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shown that our existing technology cannot take down a killer asteroid discovered six months before it hits the Earth. Indeed, the exercise suggests that even a nuclear bomb isn’t enough to break the asteroid apart because the rock is too big. It also shows that preparing […]

(Natural News) In just a few weeks, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will be making history as it attempts to collect its first rock samples from an asteroid. The autonomous spacecraft OSIRIS-REx will be touching down briefly on the asteroid Bennu on Oct. 20. Through its robotic arm, it will scoop rocks on the landing site […]

(Natural News) It appears the Moon isn’t the best option for mining water in space. Recent research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets found that asteroids close to Earth may be rich in water, making them better candidates for space mining. Researchers identified several of these asteroids and said that they are easier to reach than the Moon. Most of these near-Earth […]

(Natural News) Aliens might have already found us, and they’ve been on the lookout ever since. American physicist James Benford proposes that alien “lurkers” may have set up probes on near-Earth objects (NEOs) that follow an orbital pattern similar to Earth. What’s more, these co-orbitals are very close to us, bound gravitationally not just to the sun but also […]

(Natural News) On Sept. 10, a large, “potentially dangerous” asteroid safely passed by the Earth. Measuring roughly 3,280 feet wide, asteroid 2020 QU6 was large enough to cause global catastrophe had it actually impacted the planet. What’s more worrying, however, are the circumstances behind 2020 QU6’s discovery. The asteroid wasn’t discovered by national space agencies but by amateur astronomer Leonardo Amaral […]

(Natural News) An asteroid bigger than a basketball court will zoom past Earth today, September 1, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Asteroid 2011 ES4 does not pose any harm, added NASA. Although classified as a near-Earth object (NEO), the asteroid will only make a flyby around Earth and will come within 45,000 […]
