(Natural News) Astronomers have discovered three galaxies from the early universe. The discovery of these galaxies, which developed about 12 billion years ago near the Milky Way, opens a window into what the cosmos was like at the beginning of time. The three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) are 11.4 million light years way. They are […]

(Natural News) An ancient, advanced civilization that existed before the Biblical account of Adam was wiped out by a comet strike around 12,800 years ago. This Younger Dryas era strike impacted the ice sheet of present-day North America, causing the Great Flood, a global deluge of flooding and ocean level rise that buried land masses, […]

(Natural News) A new study has found a massive shock wave that is many times larger than the Milky Way. Abell 3667, situated about 730 million light-years from Earth, is a galaxy cluster that is in turmoil. It is made up of two clusters of galaxies that are actually crashing into each other and about 550 individual galaxies in total that […]

(Natural News) Small “snowflakes” of radioactive uranium that trigger massive nuclear blasts in space could help explain some of the universe’s more bizarre star explosions. According to theoretical physicist Matt Caplan, it is important to understand how these explosions occur for all sorts of applications, from the production of elements to the expansion of the universe. Caplan studies astromaterials – the […]

(Natural News) Astronomers are getting closer to detecting the “memory” that gravitational waves leave behind as they pass through space. Next-generation facilities and existing ones, such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in the U.S. and the Virgo Interferometer in Italy, will be key to this detection. In an article for Space, astrophysicist Paul Sutter of the Ohio […]

(Natural News) A new study suggests that the gigantic blobs of radio emissions found floating in outer space in 2019 could be the result of two colliding black holes. Researchers note that the blobs, which they dubbed “odd radio circles” (ORC), are unlike anything seen before. While they have offered other hypotheses, they also raise the possibility that a highly energetic […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) suggest that Jupiter’s Europa may have pockets of water within its crust that may be able to support alien life. Europa, the fourth largest of Jupiter’s moons, has high odds of being habitable. Past studies suggest that an ocean of liquid water lurks beneath Europa’s 15-mile-thick frozen crust. This extraterrestrial ocean […]

(Natural News) A new study published in the Physical Review Letters suggests that the remnant cores of dead average-size stars can explode like a nuclear bomb. Known as white dwarfs, these dense cores are packed with heavy radioactive elements called actinides that can spontaneously undergo nuclear fission – the splitting of atoms. Depending on certain conditions, these cores can eventually undergo uncontrolled fission, […]

(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) Scientists thought that GJ 1132 b, a distant exoplanet discovered in 2015, lost its atmosphere. But now it seems that it has formed itself a new one. The gases of this new atmosphere suggest a volcanic origin as well. Scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration‘s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory made the discovery after examining existing observations of GJ 1132 […]
