(Natural News) Over 80 percent of the matter in the universe exists in a form that scientists cannot directly observe. Known as “dark matter,” this mysterious substance cannot be seen or detected by even the most powerful telescopes. Now, a recent study shows what potentially happens to dark matter when it interacts with gravity. Researchers from the Chinese […]

(Natural News) A study led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) suggests that Mars may be responsible for the zodiacal light, a faint cone of light commonly seen extending from the horizon before dawn and at dusk. The zodiacal light is the sunlight reflected toward Earth by a cloud of dust particles orbiting the sun. Scientists previously thought […]

(Natural News) In under two decades, humans can start abandoning Earth for an enormous, spinning human colony deep in the asteroid belt, according to astrophysicist Pekka Janhunen of the Finnish Meteorological Institute in Finland. In a new paper posted in the preprint server arXiv, Janhunen proposed a “megasatellite” composed of thousands of cylindrical spacecraft that are all linked together […]

(Natural News) An international team of researchers says that parallel universes may now be discovered through the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle smasher. The discovery rests upon whether scientists will be able to generate and detect mini black holes at a predicted energy level. In a study published in the Physics Letters B., the team […]

(Natural News) Scientists detect exoplanets by analyzing light from the planets themselves or their stars. This method led to the discovery of thousands of worlds within the Milky Way, but none beyond the galaxy. That could change, suggests a recent study, with the use of gravitational waves – invisible ripples in space and time that travel at the speed of light. […]

(Natural News) Listening to Flat Earthers talk about science and gravity is equivalent to hearing Leftists talk about how guns work. Joe Biden recently said the government should ban “magazines that can hold 100 clips,” a statement that makes no sense at all, since Leftists think clips are magazines. Leftists also think gun shots make […]

(Natural News) Several million years ago, a binary star might have zipped past another pair of younger stars, thereby disrupting the orbit of a newly formed planet in the latter system. The researchers who made this astonishing discovery thought that this ancient stellar flyby might help explain the weirder parts in our solar system. Earlier […]

(Natural News) Black holes possess immense amounts of energy, and this very property has given a researcher the idea to use black holes as “launch pads” for starships preparing to explore the deep space. The black holes would curve laser beams back toward a receiving starship, and the boost in energy would help accelerate large […]

(Natural News) Early this year, China’s lunar probe Chang’e 4 landed on the unexplored far side of the moon carrying with it a canister of plant seeds. A couple of days later, Chinese scientists confirmed that some of the cotton plants have sprouted – the first time plants were able to do so on the far side […]

(Natural News) Provisions are among the biggest challenges for manned spaceflight missions. Food must not take up so much space or weight that the spacecraft’s performance suffers. In an Alpha Galileo article, therefore, German researchers suggested that spacecraft should carry zooplankton as a lightweight source of essential nutrients for astronauts. One potential candidate is the water […]
