Bring out the lawyer jokes. Combining space and lawyers in the same sentence surely opens the door for a plethora of majestic lawyer jabs. Some sly comedians are surely burning up bar napkins trying to find the perfect joke for this new degree. Something along the lines of hot air, put them in a ship […]

For the first time in our history, astronomers have observed a colossal black hole being kicked out of its own galaxy. Scientists have theorized that it could happen, but have never witnessed such a phenomena before. Typically they suggest that the black holes of colliding galaxies tend to merge together, rather than being kicked out. […]

Images of a tsunami blasting its way through the sun’s lower atmosphere have been taken for the first time. Do they pose a danger to us? No…lol
Well maybe not. Who the heck knows? These videos were released recently that show the solar tsunamis have helped astronomers get an idea as to their speed. It is […]

I have heard of Panspermia and always found it to be an interesting theory, but upon reading more about it I had found that it sort of transcends its meaning.
Panspermia:
Panspermia (Gk. πάς/πάν (pas/pan, all) σπέρμα (sperma, seed)) is the hypothesis that “seeds” of life exist already all over the Universe, that life on Earth […]

A sniff test of water vapor spewing from Saturn’s moon Enceladus shows it is gushing with organic molecules, increasing the possibility of life existing somewhere in the Saturn system.
So…more evidence that a moon may have harbored some form of life in the past, or even life now. As tiny as the molecules are, it is […]

Every once in a while we hear about the Space Station that is floating around out there. The last few days I have been seeing reports about this new robotic handyman (VIDEO). This thing has 11 foot long freak arms that will be tested. They will also continue outfitting the station’s new Japanese room and […]

NASA has released a significant amount of data this week that portrays how our early universe may have developed, as well as what it is made up of. The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) collected data that measured the earliest light of the universe. The early universe is imprinted on this light, and can be […]

A lake that might once have been habitable may have filled a crater for a long time on early Mars, new spacecraft images reveal.
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) captured the images that suggest the debris-strewn Holden Crater once held a calm body of water that could have harbored life. There is so far no convincing […]

It is pretty much general knowledge that at some point our sun will swallow the Earth and end its existence. Thankfully none of us will be around to see it happen, unless you believe in incarnation, or we happen to discover immortality in the next few decades.
Astronomers have stated recently that they have a more […]
