(Natural News) A sky survey in Chile has led to the unexpected discovery of a “massive monster galaxy” previously unknown to scientists. In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, researchers led by University of Arizona astronomer Christina Williams said that such massive galaxies had never been seen before, hinting that a new population of galaxies is waiting to be discovered. […]

(Natural News) A recent probe into three weird batches of gamma-ray bursts suggests that magnetars fissured due to magnetic field instabilities, releasing intense gamma rays that bombarded Earth’s atmosphere. These bursts occurred on three separate occasions in the last 40 years. They lasted only about one-tenth of a second and posed no threat to the planet. But their premium […]

(Natural News) A hypothetical form of black holes gets a second look after researchers from the University of Hawai?i at M?noa corrected a subtle error on previous models simulating the expansion of the universe. Scientists call this “black hole” General Object of Dark Energy (GEODE): It looks like a black hole from the outside but is […]

(Natural News) People tend to think of space as just an empty void in between galaxies, stars, planets and other celestial bodies. This “void,” however, actually contains more matter than the galaxies themselves. In between galaxies exists a matter called the intergalactic medium (IGM). This matter – composed mostly of hot, ionized hydrogen, with bits of […]

(Natural News) The solar system has been traveling through the remains of exploded stars for at least 33,000 years, suggests a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The Earth is currently passing through a field of debris called the local interstellar cloud. This debris field is composed of the remnants […]

(Natural News) A massive dying star disappeared in 2019 without leaving any trace. Clues to its sudden absence led an international team of astrophysicists to theorize that the old star may have been obscured by a giant cloud of dust. Otherwise, said the scientists, it could have turned into a black hole without going supernova – […]

(Natural News) A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are investigating alien oceans in three moons in the outer solar system in search of the origin of life on Earth. The moons in question – Jupiter’s Europa, Saturn’s Enceladus and Neptune’s Triton – are different from the rest of the more than 200 moons in the solar […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in the Astronomical Journal found that as much as seven habitable planets could be orbiting a star, advancing the search for extraterrestrial life forms. The researchers noted that the absence of a gas giant such as Jupiter can mean more planets could have the favorable conditions to facilitate life. This […]

(Natural News) Meteorites taken from the Thorsberg quarry in Sweden suggest that violent collisions occurred in space about 470 million years ago, flinging rapidly traveling meteorites toward Earth. Birger Schmitz of Lund University in Sweden is leading the research on the meteorites aged millions of years old. His team’s findings, published in the journal Nature, show that the meteorites hold […]
