(Natural News) A study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters discovered a pathway that explains how small celestial bodies called centaurs arrive from the outer solar system into Earth’s neighborhood. The researchers said that a gateway region near Jupiter is causing centaurs to change their orbits. Once they pass through this region, most centaurs eventually join a group called the Jupiter-family comets – […]

(Natural News) A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made […]

(Natural News) A rare fireball brightened the night sky in Shandong Province in northeastern China. It is said to be the brightest fireball to occur on Earth in years and is even more luminous than a full Moon. According to the Chinese Meteor Monitoring Organization (CMMO), the fireball shone and exploded at about 11 p.m. on August 16. The explosion […]

(Natural News) Scientists may have found a method for generating oxygen that could be used for future explorations on Mars. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena discovered a way to generate molecular oxygen – two oxygen atoms needed to form breathable air – in outer space. The idea came from observing how comets produced oxygen in […]

(Natural News) NASA researchers may have found a sweet surprise in outer space. Apparently, the inhospitable environs of space can produce sugar molecules. Better yet, this sugar is not any of the common ones found in foods; instead, it is the complex molecule found in the DNA of living organisms. In a recent experiment, the researchers replicated the conditions found in outer […]
