A MYSTERIOUS object hurtling towards our Solar System may be an alien spacecraft. That’s the shock claim made by one space scientist, who has exclusively revealed to The Sun that our incoming visitor could be…
In 1978, NASA’s Pioneer Venus (aka. Pioneer 12) mission reached Venus (“Earth’s Sister”) and found indications that Venus may have once had oceans on its surface. Since then, several missions have been sent to Venus and gathered…
Astronomers have found compelling evidence for the existence of ‘liquid’ water on a Super-Earth Exoplanet, according to Space Telescope. The K2-18B, with eight times the mass of Earth, orbits a red dwarf star, 111 light years…
A large-scale 3D map of the Milky Way shows its warped shape with a new level of detail and accuracy. Researchers measured the distances between our sun and 2,400 stars to map their three-dimensional coordinates across the Milky Way. Scientists still…
Astronomers have discovered thousands of exoplanets, or worlds beyond the solar system. In June, researchers announced they had logged the 4,000th such planet into a NASA catalogue. The first was found in 1992. Two artists have illustrated all…
It’s no secret that Ariana Grande is a fan of space and, by extension, the folks over at NASA. And it turns out that the love is reciprocal, seeing as how a group of interns at NASA’s Johnson Space Center…
Using data from NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope, scientists have estimated that one in every four sun-sized stars has an Earth-like planet orbiting it. That translates to about 10 billion planets in our galaxy that could hold liquid water – which could make them…
SpaceX is banking on its commercial space taxi, Crew Dragon to fly seven astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) in an orbital mission to and from Earth. So far, the American aerospace company has…
Seems like Elon Musk is on a Twitter roll, again! After releasing merchandise supporting the cause of ‘Nuke Mars,’ the SpaceX CEO is considering if there can be better and more feasible alternatives to colonize…
The Milky Way could be teeming with interstellar alien civilizations, according to a new study. We just don’t know about it because they haven’t paid us a visit in 10 million years. The study, published last month in The…
About 3 to 4 billion years ago, the Martian environment was completely different from the cold inhabitable desert it is today. At that time, the Martian environment was much warmer with a habitable atmosphere that…
Serial entrepreneur and part-time meme enthusiast Elon Musk has once again whipped the internet commentariat into a frenzy, this time with a simple, two-word proposition on Twitter: “Nuke Mars!” The idea isn’t necessarily new, Musk has…
If humans gave birth in space, it would be very different from giving birth on Earth. First, we’d be impacted by the zero gravity environment. Long-term, human space babies could end up looking very different from Earth…
