(Natural News) Researchers studying Johannes Kepler’s manuscripts believe they found evidence that suggests that the famous German astronomer may have been a practitioner of alchemy, the protoscientific tradition famous for its obsession with turning “base metals” like lead into “noble metals” like gold and silver. Kepler lived in the late 16th to the early 17th centuries, and is known […]

(Natural News) They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and this is definitely true when it comes to the world of science. Here are 10 of the most bizarre science stories that we covered this past year: GMO mosquito experiment goes horribly wrong: Insects adapt and overcome, transforming into super ‘mutant’ mosquitoes that could […]

(Natural News) As part of my “Oblivion Agenda” lecture series, I described how non-Earth civilizations harvest entire stars to generate antimatter fuel that powers FTL (Faster Than Light) warp drives. FTL travel is necessary to traverse the galaxy, given the enormous distances involved (even at 1000 times the speed of light, it would take 120 […]

(Natural News) Scientists may have found a method for generating oxygen that could be used for future explorations on Mars. Researchers from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena discovered a way to generate molecular oxygen – two oxygen atoms needed to form breathable air – in outer space. The idea came from observing how comets produced oxygen in […]

(Natural News) NASA announced that Curiosity, the rover that has explored the Martian landscape since 2012, has discovered an exceptionally large clay deposit. Clay has been found on the Martian surface before, but never in such large quantities. The amazing discovery was made at the aptly named “clay-bearing unit,” a region at the base of Mount Sharp, a […]

(Natural News) For over 50 years, scientists have been baffled by events known as “transient lunar phenomena” (TLP). These are brief flashes of light on the surface of the moon that astronomers have witnessed and have no conclusive explanation for. But the world might finally get an answer thanks to technology and future cooperation between a research […]

(Natural News) Scientists believe that a layer of gassy material on Pluto’s surface is stopping an ocean underneath it from freezing over. New models of Pluto’s evolution suggest that this gassy layer is helping to insulate this body of water. If their calculations are correct, this means that these gases, if present in other planets, can potentially harbor […]

(Natural News) Scientists may have discovered what happened to the water on Mars. Water vapor may have been dumped at the planet’s poles or escaped into space. A partnership between researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in Russia and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany discovered that the Red Planet has […]

(Natural News) Experts have warned that space mining would cause a new Gold Rush that might deplete the resources of the solar system in several centuries. Before that disaster happens, humans must set up “space wildernesses.” The proposal came from researchers at the Smithsonian Institution and King’s College London. It recommended setting aside seven-eights of […]

(Natural News) One of the experimenters involved with the Labeled Release (LR) life detection experiment that took place during NASA’s Viking mission to Mars back in 1976 has gone public with the claim that life on Mars was discovered more than 40 years ago, even though the government has yet to admit the truth. According […]
