It is going to be a double treat for space enthusiasts this holiday season as two significant events will happen on the eve and the night of Christmas this year.
Scientists discover the possible early origin of the Earth, which began some 2.5 million years ago. Scientists discover the possible early origin of the Earth.
A new planet is discovered with similarities to Earth and has an atmosphere. A planet discovered to be the same size as the Earth is said to be so close that it can be seen through a high-powered ground telescope.
The space junk named 'WTF' is on a collision course with Earth. A Space junk dubbed as 'WTF' is on a collision course with Earth. This object was a remnant of the space flight conducted decades ago and according to scientists, the object is predicted to hit Earth on Nov.
The meteor impacts with the exact time of the mass extinction over the past 260 million years ago. Researchers suggest that Earth could be in great peril as the sun's journey through the galaxy emits comet and sends them flying to neighbouring planets.
A group of scientists has found that there is an estimated 3 trillion trees in the world when compared with the start of human civilization, the number has tumbled down to roughly 46%.
Does the Earth need a flag? Right now, maybe not, at least not until we have actually land on another planet such as Mars or meet an alien civilization for the first time. But that doesn’t mean that designing one is pointless, and a new project has proven exactly that.
The unmanned Russian cargo spacecraft that malfunctioned causing the Russian space program to lose control of the craft as it made its way to the International Space Station last week, will fall to Earth later this evening.
Scientists have discovered a brand new planet only 40 light years away from that is very much like Earth, except for the fact that it is super big and super hot, of course.
The only spacecraft ever to have orbited Mercury has ended its mission by crashing into the surface, leaving behind a new crater as a monument of its landmark achievement.
It’s no big surprise as to why we exited the Jurassic period. The dinosaurs and their lineage ended with a shocking crash when a catastrophic asteroid plummeted to Earth, and dust and debris blocked out the Sun. But now researchers are hoping that by going back to the site of the impact they may be able to learn a bit more about ancient biological and geological processes, and perhaps even what cosmic changes led to the asteroid’s impact.
For years scientists have struggled to determine the origin of our Moon that lights the night sky faithfully every single night. Now, many believe that the moon may have been formed by a collision between the Earth and another object that happened to be strikingly similar in composition to our own planet.
While researchers have long believed that the circumstances and the molecular structures involved in the creation of our Sun and of our Earth were unique, it appears that far off in space there may be another solar system brimming with potential for life someday. Utilizing the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) researchers with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory have detected for the first time ever the complex organic molecules necessary to create life in a protoplanetary disk surrounding an infant star only a million years into its formation.
One of the most iconic scenes ever filmed for Star Wars occurred when Luke walked outside his boyhood home on the rocky, desert planet of Tatooine and looked up at the two suns setting. Now, scientists believe that these Earth-like worlds with two suns in their sky may actually be more common than originally thought, throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.
It’s the start to the spring today, and with the vernal equinox came a celestial event unlike those in common occurrence. But while flocks of sky-watchers and astronomers ventured north into the Arctic, where a total solar eclipse would be visible for the last time until 2026 in continental Europe, many were left disappointed at the less than “thrilling” display.
