NASA warns: Solar storms could cause “internet apocalypse” by 2025

21 days ago -

During this period, sunspots can produce intense solar storms, which if directed toward the Earth could create widespread outages to electronics and radio communications. The first two months of 2024 alone have witnessed a surge in solar activity, with sunspots producing numerous coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are phenomena responsible for solar storms.

NASA, which has been watching the Sun's activity using the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), warns the probability ...

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 ...

NASA scientist is “absolutely certain” there is ALIEN LIFE in the universe

August 29, 2023 -

Michelle Thaller, a research scientist working at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, said during an interview with the U.S. Sun that she believes there is alien life hiding out there.

"I definitely think we’ll find life on another planet. I think that in our own solar system, we’re quite close to it, but once again we don’t have that 100 percent thing," said Thaller. "On Mars, we see chemistry that on Earth if it were here, we would say is due to ...

NASA plans to MINE THE MOON by early 2030s, says rocket scientist

July 07, 2023 -

Gerald Sanders, a rocket scientist at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, said America's space agency will at the beginning look into the development of oxygen and water on the moon and will later contemplate exploiting minerals on the moon like iron and rare earth minerals.

"We are trying to invest in the exploration phase, understand the resources… to [lower] risk, such that external investment makes sense that could lead to development and production," Sanders ...

NASA will find alien life in the next 25 years, experts predict

June 07, 2023 -

These same experts said that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) helped pave the way for gathering more information on distant worlds. (Related: We may finally find ALIENS by 2026, thanks to NASA's new space telescope.)

According to Sasha Quanz, an astrophysicist from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, aliens will be verified in two and a half decades.

NASA and private companies to launch BUSINESS on the MOON within the next decade

August 11, 2023 -

The Artemis missions aim to establish a sustained human presence on the moon, paving the way for future extraplanetary colonization and resource utilization. With a potential market value of over $100 billion, the moon is poised to become a hub of economic activity and commerce. "Definitely the moon is going to be a big business," stated Prachi Kawade, a senior analyst at NSR, a space market research and consulting firm.

NASA's ambitious endeavor has caught the ...

NASA to launch rockets into Moon’s shadow during the total solar eclipse on April 8

20 days ago -

The American space agency is set to launch three instrument-loaded probes to study how the temporary blocking of sunlight impacts part of the upper atmosphere. The rockets will blast off from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility – one 45 minutes before, one during and the last one 45 minutes after the local peak eclipse.

The trio of rockets will soar into the ionosphere, a region 55 to 310 miles above Earth's surface, where particles are electrically charged, or "ionized," ...

NASA can only give a warning 30 minutes before a killer solar storm, so PREPARE before SHTF

May 31, 2023 -

If you don't have your supplies ready, 30 minutes is probably not enough time to prepare for a killer solar storm that could knock out the internet and power for several hours.Predicting solar storms with the help of AI

Back in March, NASA announced the development of its computer model called DAGGER, or Deep Learning Geomagnetic Perturbation, and the research is now gaining public traction. (Related: Lost in space: Solar storm destroys 38 Starlink satellites, costing ...

NASA warns that East, Gulf coasts SINKING FASTER than other US regions – and it’s NOT caused by “climate change”

June 06, 2023 -

Land subsidence – the downward motion of land – is a legitimate concern for scientists due to the higher flood risk in coastal cities. This phenomenon is caused by human activity, such as the extraction of oil, water or minerals from underground. Buildings can also cause land subsidence by adding weight on the soil and pushing it down.

But according to NASA scientist David Bekaert, some land subsidence is linked to deep natural processes over long periods of time ...

NASA asteroid deflection test accidentally creates a BOULDER SWARM that could impact the Earth with as much energy as the Hiroshima detonation

August 11, 2023 -

In September 2022, NASA conducted its first "planetary defense" experiment known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), with the goal of intentionally crashing a spacecraft into the asteroid known as Dimorphos in an attempt to change its trajectory.

NASA astronomers at the time concluded that the project was an amazing success, and Dimorphos' trajectory was changed slightly. The success of DART proved to scientists that there could be a way ...

NASA’s historic Mars helicopter Ingenuity may have crash-landed, ending its three-year mission on Red Planet

February 06, 2024 -

The small copter made its last flight on Jan. 18 but lost contact with the command's team and when communication was recovered, one of the Ingenuity's blades displayed damage.

Ingenuity was initially designed to carry out up to five experimental test flights over 30 days when it first landed in 2023. But the $85 million space helicopter exceeded all of NASA's expectations by being able to fly 72 times and travel distances more than 14 times further than initially ...

NASA’s next lunar mission could discover existence of life on the moon

June 21, 2023 -

NASA's Artemis 3 mission will be the first human lunar landing since Apollo 17 in December 1972 – the final flight of the Apollo program. Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt were the last humans to walk on the moon.

The Artemis 3 mission is intended to be the first of a number of human missions to the Artemis Polar Exploration Zone, the region poleward of 84 degrees south latitude. So far, only one Artemis mission has been launched – Artemis ...
