(Natural News) A sky survey in Chile has led to the unexpected discovery of a “massive monster galaxy” previously unknown to scientists. In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, researchers led by University of Arizona astronomer Christina Williams said that such massive galaxies had never been seen before, hinting that a new population of galaxies is waiting to be discovered. […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) estimate that at least 300 million planets in the Milky Way galaxy may be able to support life. The estimate is based on a conservative assumption that seven percent of the sun-like stars in the galaxy foster conditions that are hospitable to life. The researchers said that there […]

(Natural News) Researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the University of La Laguna in Spain suggest that Dragonfly 44 may just be a dwarf galaxy instead of a mysterious galaxy comprised mostly of dark matter. In a study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, the researchers noted that Dragonfly 44 has a much lower total […]

(Natural News) New research has revealed that a supermassive black hole located at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy exploded 3.5 million years ago. The blast, scientists said, was so big its flare managed to travel through both poles of the galaxy. This prompted lead author Joss Bland-Hawthorn of the University of Sydney to […]

(Natural News) People tend to think of space as just an empty void in between galaxies, stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This “void,” however, actually contains more matter than the galaxies themselves. In between galaxies exists a matter called the intergalactic medium (IGM). This matter – composed mostly of hot, ionized hydrogen, with bits of […]

(Natural News) Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. […]

(Natural News) Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have recorded a mysterious and unprecedented flash of light coming from the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. Known to scientists as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is relatively quiet. For the most part, Sgr […]

(Natural News) Did you know that there has been an object in the Milky Way 500 light-years away that “blinks” at us daily? Now, astronomers have figured out the reason for this unusual signal. Called NGTS-7, this celestial object is part of binary system NGTS-7ABM, and appears to most telescopes as a single star. In […]

(Natural News) As part of my “Oblivion Agenda” lecture series, I described how non-Earth civilizations harvest entire stars to generate antimatter fuel that powers FTL (Faster Than Light) warp drives. FTL travel is necessary to traverse the galaxy, given the enormous distances involved (even at 1000 times the speed of light, it would take 120 […]

(Natural News) What’s the best thing to do when you encounter a mystery you can’t explain? Why, report on it, of course! Here are 10 of the strangest news stories that passed our desks this past year that we thought you should know about: The terraforming of planet Earth, and the planned annihilation of humankind: […]
