Study suggests the ice age was caused by global cooling after a giant asteroid collision in space

December 21, 2020 - asteroid collision.

"We studied extraterrestrial matter, meteorites and micrometeorites in the sedimentary record of Earth," said co-author Philipp Heck of the University of Chicago and the Field Museum. "And then we extracted the extraterrestrial matter to discover what it was and where it came from."

To extract the extraterrestrial matter, the researchers soaked the ancient rocks with acid that ate away the stone and isolated cosmic materials, such as ...

Giant asteroid on collision course with Earth could NOT be stopped by a nuclear bomb, NASA simulation shows

May 05, 2021 -

Indeed, the exercise suggests that even a nuclear bomb isn't enough to break the asteroid apart because the rock is too big. It also shows that preparing a spacecraft to smash into the asteroid is not feasible given the small amount of time remaining before the collision.What happens in the months leading up to an asteroid impact

NASA conducted the simulation exercise, called "Space Mission Options for the Hypothetical Asteroid Impact Scenario," from April 26 through April ...

Covid: A collision of historical and scientific illiteracy

January 17, 2022 -

(Article by Kevin Ryan republished from Off-Guardian.org)

Of course, it should not be beyond belief because we know history repeats itself. And in the last two years it has been repeating with a vengeance.

I spent 18 years working to understand, and help others understand, the crimes of September 11, 2001. Those crimes were never honestly investigated apart from the work of independent researchers. The official accounts are widely known to be false and those who ...

Black hole collision shatters records, proves Einstein and Hawking right

September 11, 2025 -

On January 14, scientists detected the most powerful gravitational wave signal ever recorded—a cosmic collision so violent it sent ripples through spacetime that were three times stronger than the first-ever detection in 2015. The event, dubbed GW250114, involved two black holes, each about 30 times the mass of our sun, merging 1.3 billion years ago. The signal was so clear that researchers could finally confirm two of the most famous predictions in ...

Conflicting altimeter data puzzles investigators in deadly DC midair collision

February 05, 2025 -

The investigation into the plane crash that left 67 people dead last week when a regional passenger jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near Reagan National Airport has revealed conflicting altimeter readings.

The collision occurred under clear skies around 9 p.m., but the precise altitude of the aircraft at the time they collided remains a mystery, with the control tower and the plane's flight recorder giving readings that indicate ...

Asteroid that killed dinosaurs also caused GIANT tsunamis

July 16, 2021 -

Scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL) found these mega-ripples by means of seismic imaging carried out by a petroleum firm. They looked at soil 5,000 feet below the surface of central Louisiana and found the 50-feet-high ripples spaced half a mile apart. According to the scientists, these ripples were the imprint of the tidal waves that spread out from the asteroid's impact crater.

Furthermore, the UL scientists said the orientation of the ripples ...

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study

August 21, 2020 -

Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of hydrogen molecules. This could explain why astronomers were not able to detect a basic feature of a comet: a coma or a comet’s tail.

But the researchers said that this explanation ignores the fact that if ‘Oumuamua is indeed a hydrogen comet, it would have evaporated midway or early into its journey.

“We were suspicious that hydrogen ...

Midair collision near D.C. kills 67; Questions mount over preventable tragedy

January 30, 2025 -

In a devastating midair collision near Washington, D.C., an American Airlines regional jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday night, killing all 67 people aboard both aircraft.

The crash, which occurred just minutes before the jet was set to land at Reagan National Airport, has left the nation in shock and raised urgent questions about air traffic control protocols and military training flights in ...

Five dangerous ways America is on a COLLISION COURSE with itself

June 25, 2021 -

(Listen to the full podcast for more examples.)

The truth is that America is on a collision course with itself, and nothing can stop what's coming in terms of catastrophic ramifications in the food supply, currency collapse, economic collapse, social collapse and the collapse of the rule of law (which is already well under way).

The America you once knew is ancient history. And as I predicted years ago, the United States of America as we know it will ...

Our solar system’s asteroid belt is slowly FADING AWAY

October 02, 2025 -

Key points:

The ghost of a planet that never was

The story of the asteroid belt’s existence is inextricably linked to its eventual demise. When the solar system was a swirling disk of gas and dust 4.6 billion years ago, the region between Mars and Jupiter was poised to become the home of another planet. The raw materials were there, but a celestial giant had other plans. Jupiter, the solar system's behemoth, exerted a gravitational influence ...

NASA tracks house-sized asteroid amid growing celestial threats

August 17, 2025 -

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is keeping a watchful eye on asteroid 2025 PR1, a house-sized space rock hurtling toward Earth at 17,717 miles per hour.

The asteroid passed within 609,000 miles of Earth on Saturday, Aug. 16 – closer than some satellites – but posed no immediate danger. Yet, this near-miss is part of a broader pattern: Three more asteroids are set to skim past Earth, including ...

Astronomers Detect Sustained Infrared Signal Likely From Planetary Collision 11,500 Light-Years Away

6 days ago - Summary of Findings

Astronomers from the University of Washington have reported the detection of a sustained infrared signal from a star system designated Gaia-GIC-1, located approximately 11,500 light-years from Earth near the constellation Puppis. The researchers observed that the system has shown a constant infrared brightness for over four years, a pattern they attribute to the aftermath of a planetary collision. This event, first noted in 2020, provides a rare observational opportunity ...

New research suggests Milky Way may avoid catastrophic collision with Andromeda galaxy

June 03, 2025 -

For decades, astronomers warned that the Milky Way was on an unstoppable collision course with the Andromeda galaxy in a catastrophic merger that would reshape our cosmic neighborhood in roughly 4 billion years. But groundbreaking new research suggests this doomsday scenario may never happen.

According to data from the Hubble and Gaia space telescopes, the Milky Way now has a 50-50 chance of avoiding a direct collision with Andromeda thanks to gravitational ...

Canada’s corporate-controlled media claims van terror attack was merely a “collision”

April 24, 2018 -

On Monday a man drove a van repeatedly into crowds of people in Toronto, killing 10 and injuring 15. The suspect, Alek Minassian, has yet to be labeled a “terrorist” and of course, Canadian authorities are reluctant to call it a “terrorist attack.” But that is despite the fact that Islamic terrorists have resorted to using vehicles to mow people over as opposed to using firearms as their weapon of choice — especially in countries where gun laws prevent private ownership of guns....

Scientists discover 63 new young asteroid families, doubling known count

October 02, 2025 - asteroid collision rates, the physics of large-scale impacts, and the ongoing evolution of the main asteroid belt. Understanding these processes could help scientists predict future asteroid threats to Earth. (Related: Asteroid impact triggered the "impact winter" that likely killed dinosaurs 66 million years ago – study.)

Additionally, the findings raise questions about whether some families formed from catastrophic collisions or rotational fission—where asteroids ...

NASA successfully retrieves first asteroid samples from OSIRIS-REx spacecraft

October 05, 2023 -

The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) probe was launched on Sept. 8, 2016, and traveled to the near-Earth asteroid known as Bennu.

OSIRIS-REx collected a sample of rocks and dust from the surface of this asteroid and then made the long journey back to Earth.

The OSIRIS-REx landed at 10:52 a.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 24 in a Department of Defense-managed targeted area at the Utah Test and Training ...
