It’s a brilliance that surpasses the barrier of physical energy. Brighter than hundreds of billions of suns, a giant ball of hot gas is billions of light years away. It’s hard to imagine anything this great. So what is it? They have several possibilities, but astronomers aren’t entirely sure. They speculate that it could be…

A Remarkable Correlation Has Been Revealed Between The Number Of Supernovae And The Existence Of Life On Earth. Top image: A view of the Milky Way from Earth, showing how supernovae accelerate cosmic rays to extreme energy. Some of these cosmic ray particles enter the Earth’s atmosphere, forming secondary particle shower structures.  A surprising result is…

Recent images on social media show that the Russian Vasily Bykov class corvette is equipped with a ground-based Tor surface-to-air missile system on its flight deck. As we all know, anti-aircraft missiles and air-to-air missiles are close relatives, and there are many anti-aircraft missiles that are improved from advanced air-to-air missiles. Similarly, there are air-to-air missiles and…

The tenth and final ship of the Nimitz-class of United States Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, USS George HW Bush (CVN-77) delivered to the Navy in May 2009, while she cost taxpayers $6.2 billion. She is now one of the most powerful warships in the world and will remain in service until the late 2050s. As…

What is remarkable about this video, and what distinguishes it from other space videos, is how the camera moves constantly in order to focus on a specific spot or area on Earth, and then appears to “deliberately” wait for something strange to happen so that it can be captured on video as soon as it…

.   .   . .   .     The Super Warthog program — officially dubbed the A-10 Common Fleet Initiative — is meant to address these concerns. The US Air Force has recently started fielding a new improved version of the Super A-10 Warthog. The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat,…

While size does matter, it is not necessarily always a measure of aviation power. However, this did not stop gifted engineers, who have, for decades now, been designing vehicles of such magnitude that their very ability to leave the ground was already impressive.   Today we are going to take a look at 10 of…

Poland on Tuesday announced a record deal to sell to Ukraine self-propelled howitzers “Crab” made by local manufacturer Futa Starova Wola.   In what could be the largest export order for a Polish defense company, Poland has agreed to sell about 60 of his Krab self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited…

If a person gets lost in the wilderness, they have two options. They are easily identifiable by searching civilizations, lighting fires, or writing HELP in large letters. For scientists interested in the question of whether intelligent aliens exist, the possibilities are similar. For over 70 years, astronomers have searched for radio or light signals from…

Astronomers recently discovered the closest known black hole to our solar system. Scientists estimate that the black hole is 1,570 lightyears away and ten times the size of our sun.     The research, known as Gaia BH1, was headed by Harvard Society Fellow astrophysicist Kareem El-Badry, in collaboration with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics…
