NASA has never discovered life on the red planet, but one man says they’re hiding the truth — and he believes he has evidence to prove it. erry van Andel sat alone on the bow…

If this plasma propulsion tech is real, it could change everything. This past autumn, a professor at Wuhan University named Jau Tang was hard at work piecing together a thruster prototype that, at first, sounds…

Once every 53.5 days, NASA’s Juno probe screams over Jupiter’s cloud tops roughly 75 times as fast as a bullet. The spacecraft has used these high-speed flybys, called perijoves, to document the gas giant like…

For about four days, the radio waves would arrive at random. Then, for the next 12, nothing. Then, another four days of haphazard pulses. Followed by another 12 days of silence. The pattern—the well-defined swings…

It sounds like a science fiction script for an upcoming movie about NASA. However, according to several reports, and supposed transcriptions between the command center and the Apollo astronauts on the moon, humanity encountered otherworldly technology…

A surprising new discovery has revealed a previously unknown structure located deep beneath the Pacific Ocean between the Earth’s core and mantle. It is not currently known what this structure – and others found near…

Because it’s almost impossible to get it to stay still on Earth. Scientists have made a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Bose-Einstein condensate is the fifth state of matter, and it lives way longer in space.…

A major study conducted by the University of Nottingham suggests there could be dozens of ‘active’ alien civilisations in the Milky Way.  The study used a calculation known as the Astrobiological Copernican Limit to determine…

Our region of the Milky Way is dominated by red dwarf stars, but if you look up at the night sky you’ll not see any of them. Smaller than our Sun, not one single red dwarf…

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is getting ready for its big moment. OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) is at asteroid Bennu, preparing to collect a sample of ancient rock. And collecting that sample…

This morning, SpaceX’s new Crew Dragon capsule successfully docked with the International Space Station, bringing the company’s first crew to the orbiting outpost. Their arrival marks another major milestone for SpaceX’s first crewed mission of…

An asteroid estimated to be 1.2 miles wide will fly by Earth next week, but it’s not expected to collide with our planet. And if an asteroid could be aware of such things, it appears…
