A 4.5 billion-year-old space rock, discovered in Somalia, is the ninth largest ever to be found on Earth, and scientists have discovered two minerals that do not naturally occur on Earth1. The discovery could provide valuable insights into the formation of asteroids and the early solar system, part of a larger project NASA is tackling...

A recent study conducted by Dr. Sierra Solter-Hunt, former NASA scientist, has raised some concerns. The focus of the study was on the potentially detrimental effects of mega satellite constellations, more specifically, the Starlink constellation from Elon Musk-owned SpaceX, on Earth’s magnetosphere.

This is making days shorter; in fact, June 29, 2022, is the shortest day ever recorded, with the Earth’s full rotation taking 24 hours minus 1.59 milliseconds. If this rapid rate continues, scientists warn that we may need to remove a second from our clocks. ...

Scientists have found the universe’s largest water reserve, but it’s not on Earth. It’s said to be floating in space. There is a huge body of water in space that has been found by two science teams. It is said to be 12 billion years old. The body of water is much bigger than all...

Unless you were living under a rock, you probably already know that on April 8, 2024, a complete eclipse swept across parts of North America. Unlike the eclipse in 2017, this one occurred at the same time as the sun maximum. It was a spectacular show for those who were in the path of totality....

Astronomers have recently detected three near-Earth asteroids. All of them had been moving under the Sun’s glare. Two of them are considered planet killers- an asteroid large enough to end human civilization and much of life on earth. The asteroids are located within the orbits of Venus and Earth. So while they are not as...
