-(Natural News) American researchers made a startling discovery through NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope suggesting that the universe is expanding at a rate faster than previously thought. This new evidence, published in The Astrophysical Journal, suggests that scientists may have to reconsider what they know about the cosmos and develop new physics to better understand it. The researchers […]

-(Natural News) While searching for the source of Titan’s methane, a team of researchers from the University of Arizona discovered a long ice feature that extends to almost half of Titan’s circumference. The study is published Nature Astronomy and partially funded by a NASA grant. The search for Titan’s source of methane Titan is the […]

-(Natural News) Several million years ago, a binary star might have zipped past another pair of younger stars, thereby disrupting the orbit of a newly formed planet in the latter system. The researchers who made this astonishing discovery thought that this ancient stellar flyby might help explain the weirder parts in our solar system. Earlier […]

-(Natural News) Black holes are well-known massive cosmic events, but you don’t expect them to occur all that often. However, Japanese astronomers discovered a staggering 83 quasars powered by supermassive black holes in the early universe. This discovery is instrumental in understanding how common supermassive black holes were during the universe’s infancy. Supermassive black holes […]

-(Natural News) Humans are innately arrogant. Our intellectual superiority over the other animals on our planet has left many of us with the conviction that we are the most intelligent beings in the universe. However, this type of thinking is dangerous because it leaves us exposed and unprepared, as noted by Scientific American. If we […]

-(Natural News) Researchers confirmed the first exoplanet candidate found by the Kepler space observatory. It took them more than a decade because they got the wrong impression of the planet’s size. The newly confirmed planet is called Kepler-165b. Situated very close to its parent star, it completes one revolution in less than four Earth days. […]

-(Natural News) Mars has always been a fascination ever since it was discovered. Modern technology is always at work in uncovering what can be learned from the Red Planet. New satellite images taken by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express Satellite now help paint a clearer picture of Mars before it became the cold, […]

-(Natural News) The deepest parts of the craters that dot the dusty Martian landscape conceal channels and valleys carved out by the passage of liquid water eons ago. European researchers consider them to be signs that Mars possessed a massive groundwater system in its distant past. Furthermore, the European Space Agency (ESA) research team uncovered […]

-(Natural News) In case you haven’t noticed, articles about extraterrestrial intelligence have been appearing with increasing frequency across the mainstream media and scientific establishment. It’s no longer “fringe” to talk about intelligent, non-Earth civilizations, and the really forward looking scientific thinkers are finally starting to ask questions about what may await us after disclosure is […]

-(Natural News) A German researcher did not believe it was possible to justify the environmental protection of planets outside our solar system on the grounds of potential use by humankind in the future. He also believed it was irrelevant to regulate the environments of exoplanets that can support life if the same worlds happened to be lifeless in […]
