NASA scientists have made a new discovery that may prove life beyond Earth. They found 19 different types of amino acids in a meteorite from the asteroid 2008 TC3 that should not exist. Studies indicate that the meteorite was formed from the collision between two asteroids, which would raise the temperature of the rock above 1000 ° C, which would [...]

An animation made with data from observatories and amateur astronomers shows the location of all known asteroids in the solar system. The video begins with the year 1980 and will gradually increase the number of points as the years pass and make new discoveries made. The new asteroids appear flashing white and appear to “follow” the Earth‘s [...]

Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest scientists of the world, warns the human race to survive, we must leave the planet Earth. In an interview to the website Big Think, astrophysicist, author of bestsellers like “The Universe in a Nutshell“, explains that human behavior itself will lead to the need to populate other worlds. He cites the [...]

Could garbage be made attractive? Well, if you asked this question to the German artist H.A. Shult, he would certainly say, yes! This artist is a true environmental enthusiast and he wants his work to salvage the beaches all across the globe. In an effort to do so he made a hotel out of debris collected from the major beaches of Europe! Joann Plockova, [...]

A strong solar storm is the likely cause of the crash that transformed a communications satellite for Intelsat in over a zombie. The company had announced that the Galaxy 15, located 133 west, had an abnormality on April 5. All users, customers in North America, had the services transferred to the Galaxy 12. The term zoombisat, satellite or zombie, [...]

Scientists said the existence of large quantities of ice and organic compounds in the surface of asteroids. The discovery suggests that some of these bodies, along with commentary, were responsible for transporting water to the primordial Earth. For a long time, astronomers believed that it was not possible to find significant amount of water in these [...]

In The Christian Science Monitor, Moises Velasquez-Manoff reviews the new book ‘The Medea Hypothesis’ that ‘looks at the opposite of the Gaia hypothesis and suggests that life on Earth is self-destructive.’ The Gaia hypothesis, first formulated in the 1960s by the British scientist James Lovelock as the “earth feedback hypothesis,” suggests that [...]

US space agency NASA will be launching Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to probe Sun and solar activity more deeply. The probe SDO is expected to be orbiting some 22,300 miles from earth for five years making observations of the sun and find reasons of different solar activity such as sunspots, solar winds and solar flares. This is first of its kind [...]

Science and Technology is ever advancing. Today some European scientists launched a satellite called “Smos Spacecraft”, which will make flood prediction easier by tracking water flows around the Earth. The satellite will also provide better weather forecasts and estimate the impact of climate change including drought. The satellite was [...]

New Scientist conducted a geo-spatial analysis very intriguing, which identified the most remote areas (for a road, railway or sea) from urban centers. The model combines some information about the terrain and access to roads, trains and rivers. There were also considered factors such as altitude, slope and barriers such as border crossings. After done [...]
