(Natural News) The Earth is flying through a cloud of radioactive debris left behind by an ancient supernova explosion, according to a new report by scientists looking at our oceans. A team from the Australian National University (ANU) has made this conclusion after studying radioactive dust found at the bottom of our oceans. While this dust is in […]

(Natural News) A string of exploding stars might have caused at least one mass extinction event 365 million years ago, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Multiple supernovae depleted the ozone layer for a long period of time which increased the amount of radiation that entered Earth. As a result, several […]

(Natural News) An international team led by Goethe University in Germany has successfully converted xenon ions into the heavy element cesium. The results, which appeared in Physical Review Letters, was the first to replicate this phenomenon in a controlled environment. A matter of stardust Nucleosynthesis refers to the creation of atomic nuclei, or broadly defined, the elements. According […]

(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) A team of researchers at the University of California Berkeley, Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, more commonly known as Berkeley Lab, discovered a supernova that continued to shine a few months after fading. According to the scientists, the cause of the stellar event remains unclear. An LCO release noted that the supernova […]

(Natural News) Once upon a time governments actually had to be fiscally responsible, spending no more than they took in. Expenditures had to match revenues, in other words; when the money ran out, that was all there was. But somewhere along the line — some say it all changed at the Bretton Woods summit that […]
