For the second time ever, astronomers have detected an interstellar object plunging through our solar system. But this time, researchers think they know where it came from. Gennady Borisov, an amateur astronomer working with his own telescope in Crimea, first spotted the interstellar comet on Aug. 30. His find made the object the first interstellar visitor discovered since oblong ‘Oumuamua flashed…

All eyes are on the source of the record-breaking gamma-ray burst that lit up the sky last week. On Oct. 9, a beam of light more energetic than astronomers had ever seen zipped past our planet, temporarily blinding detectors on several NASA satellites. The beam came from a gamma-ray burst, the most energetic type of explosion…

The Fastest-Growing Black Hole Ever Seen In The Universe A supermassive black hole that grows so fast that it shines 7,000 times brighter than the entire Milky Way has just been found, hidden in plain sight. Every second, an amount of material equivalent to the mass of the Earth falls into this insatiable black hole.…

Looking up at the moon in the night sky, you would never imagine that it is slowly moving away from Earth. But we know otherwise. In 1969, NASA’s Apollo missions installed reflective panels on the moon. These have shown that the moon is currently moving 3.8 cm away from the Earth every year . If we take the moon’s current rate…

rchaeologists in southern Italy have discovered ancient warrior helmets and the ruins of a painted brick wall at a site that might have been a forerunner of a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, officials said Tuesday.   Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini said the remains dug up at the popular tourist site of Velia…

The Ancient Battle Between Two Alien Races – The Anunnaki And The Pleiadeans. We’ve learned that our past as we knew it has been highly distorted and modified as we’ve been continuously fed propaganda that has driven us to believe in the fabricated lies that they’ve been telling us. Who are they? The higher-ups who…

A close look at two pivotal attack helicopters employed by European countries today. Europe not only operates capable ASW military helicopters and excellent frigates, but also builds and deploys very powerful attack helicopters. The reason behind the European interest in attack helicopters is very obvious. The aerial spaces in the European territory are ideal for helicopter operations.…

But many of Moscow’s tanks are aged and not as good as Washington’s. The Russian military is increasing its arsenal of tanks, weapons and armored vehicles in 2020 in an apparent attempt to add to its growing fleet of 27,000 armored vehicles, a number which includes as many as 1,200 tanks. A report in TASS, the…

An enormous asteroid four times the size of the Empire State Building is headed toward Earth — and you can watch live as it whooshes harmlessly through the night sky. The asteroid, dubbed 7335 (1989 JA), orbits the sun once every 570 days or so, occasionally swooping a little too close to Earth for astronomers’ comfort.  the…

Without the sun, life we will know would be impossible. While the sun is more than 91 million miles from Earth, its solar flares and corona mass ejections (CME) can significantly impact our planet. Recently, researchers at Boulder University in Colorado explored a star system more than 111 light-years away from our planet and observed…
