MIT Astronomer’s ‘Zoo Theory’ Explains Why Aliens Have Not Made Contact With Earth.
John A. Ball, a radio astronomer from MIT, argues that aliens might be not too keen to contact humans directly because the former essentially act as game wardens.
According to Science Examiner, the astronomer postulates that aliens are...
Turn your summer staycation into a cosmic holiday with a visit to one of the universe’s many exoplanets.
NASA has given UFO hunters, space boffins and astronomy enthusiasts an unprecedented opportunity to set foot on alien worlds and planets discovered by the incredible Kepler Space Telescope, with the aid of...
Astronomers have long struggled to understand how supermassive black holes could have formed in the early universe. They know these cosmic goliaths would have needed to grow extremely fast to achieve their supermassive status so quickly (within about 1 billion years of the Big Bang). But exactly where they...
Argentine scientists are celebrating the discovery of the remains of a giant plesiosaur, a four-finned carnivorous marine reptile that lived in Antarctic waters around 150 million years ago.
The ancient four-finned sea monster, with a huge body and a long, winding neck look remarkably like the Loch Ness monster. However,...
After last week’s extraordinary achievement of grabbing a sample of rock and dust from an asteroid speeding through space more than 200 million miles from Earth, NASA risked losing the collected material when it was discovered that some of it was escaping out of the spacecraft’s collector head.
The leak...
Dinosaurs were wiped off the Earth by an asteroid, not volcanic activity as some theories suggest, according to new study.
Research conducted by authors at University College London has offered proof that an asteroid strike on earth was the reason that dinosaurs became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene era. Researchers analyzed...
Workers from the state Department of Agriculture managed to destroy the first nest of so-called murder hornets discovered in the U.S. without suffering any stings or other injuries, the agency said Monday.
The nest, located in Whatcom County near the Canadian border, created concern because the Asian giant hornets are...
Our basic understanding of life revolves around the fact that every multi-cellular organism, including human beings, needs oxygen to live.
Nature built the perfect system for turning oxygen into energy. Breathing is so natural, in fact, most of the time we're not even aware that we're doing it.
There is, however,...
Some of the extremely low-density, "cotton candy like" exoplanets called super-puffs may actually have rings, according to new research published in The Astronomical Journal by Carnegie's Anthony Piro and Caltech's Shreyas Vissapragada
Super-puffs are notable for having exceptionally large radii for their masses -- which would give them seemingly incredibly...
The oxygen supply system providing the Russian segment on board the International Space Station with air has failed, Agence France-Presse reports — the same Zvezda module that’s slowly leaking air into space.
Russian space corporation Roscosmos maintains that the crew is still in no danger. Repairs have reportedly already started.
“Nothing...
