The Super Blue Blood Moon Is Making People Feel Extra Moody

There is some serious anticipation for tonight’s super blue blood moon and luna eclipse. A ‘super blue blood moon’ sounds pretty cool, and it is, and to break it down – the ‘super’ bit means the moon is closer to Earth than usual, ‘blue’ means it’s the second full moon of the month, and the ‘blood’ part is down to the moon’s reddish hue. But there’s one extra thin

Rare moon happens every 150 years – here’s when you can see it

There are many things in life we take for granted; things that will always be there. For instance, consider the moon. It’s there, in the sky, and whether we choose to notice it or not, we know that its presence doesn’t change. But, if we take the time to notice the moon, we will see that it goes through many changes, other than the normal phases. Year to year, there are special “moons�

Hubble Just Confirmed The Largest Ocean World in Our Solar System And Its Not On Earth

“The Ganymede ocean is believed to contain more water than Europa’s,” says Olivier Witasse, a project scientist working on ESA’s future Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE). “Six times more water in Ganymede’s ocean than in Earth’s ocean, and three times more than Europa.” In March of 2016, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revealed the best evidence yet for an underground saltwate

A massive stone sphere in Europe is the ultimate evidence of a lost ancient Civilization

Not only have researchers discovered a massive stone sphere in Europe, it is said that the oldest and largest Pyramids are also in Europe. Furthermore, linguistic and cultural scientists indicate that the oldest written language does not come from Mesopotamia but from the ancient Danube Valley Civilization (Europe) which was among the first civilizations to develop copper tools, advanced architect

NASA’s Breakthrough Discovery of the First Truly “Earth-Like” Planet

On July 23, 2015, NASA announced the discovery of the first truly Earth-like planet. This find comes thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched in March of 2009 and has been planet hunting for the last 5 years. “It is the first terrestrial planet in the habitable zone around a star very similar to the Sun,” said Douglas Caldwell, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mounta

Stephen Hawking Claims This 200,000mph Cigar-Object In Space May Be Alien Spacecraft

STEPHEN Hawking is leading an investigation into whether the first object ever to arrive from OUTSIDE our solar system is a spaceship from an alien civilisation. The first mysterious object to reach our solar system was originally thought to be a comet or an asteroid from within the system. But, scientists realised it was neither and had travelled unimaginable disatances through interstellar space

Every Black Hole Contains Another Universe – Equations Predict

Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe. In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities. According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the b

Pilot Takes Amazing Photos From His Cockpit, And They Will Take Your Breath Away

Being a pilot, you get to see a bunch of beautiful sights from above. Being a pilot for a South American airline, you also get to witness the stunning phenomena of storms as your job requires flying over regions that experience them. Meet Santiago Borja Lopez - a Quito, Ecuador-based pilot who works for Ecuador Airlines. Whenever the pilot is off-duty, he pulls out his camera to capture the mag

MIT Just Created Living Plants That Glow Like A Lamp, And Could Grow Glowing Trees To Replace Streetlights

Roads of the future could be lit by glowing trees instead of streetlamps, thanks to a breakthrough in creating bioluminescent plants. Experts injected specialized nanoparticles into the leaves of a watercress plant, which caused it to give off a dim light for nearly four hours. This could solve lots of problems. The chemical involved, which produced enough light to read a book by, is the same

NASA Discovers New ‘Super-Earth’ Planet 2,545 Light-Years Away From Us

An eighth planet has been discovered orbiting the distant star Kepler-90, proving that our eight-planet solar system isn’t unique after all. This is a groundbreaking scientific discovery, since it marks the first time scientists have become aware of another eight-planet solar system aside from our own. “Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, with t
