Nuclear fusion rockets developed by a company could enable mankind to leave the Solar System in the near future. Rockets propelled by nuclear fusion could be closer than you think. According to a press release, UK rocket manufacturer Pulsar Fusion has received money from the UK Space Agency to aid in the development of "integrated nuclear fission-based power systems for electric propulsion." To make their concept of green rocket technology, in the form of fusion propulsion, a reality, they will work with the Universities of Cambridge and Southampton as well as the Nuclear AMRC. The goal of Pu ..read more

1,000 TRILLION time more bright than Suns: A star is being ‘squeezed like a toothpaste tube’ by a supermassive black hole

A star being squeezed like a toothpaste tube' by a supermassive black hole generated a mysteriously brilliant flash that emitted more light than 1,000 TRILLION suns, according to research. According to research, a mysteriously brilliant light in the sky was created by a supermassive black hole "squeezing like a toothpaste tube" a faraway star. When astronomers at the Zwicky Transient Facility in California discovered a flash in February that produced more light than a trillion suns, they were perplexed. A tidal disruption event (TDE), in which a star travels a bit too near to a black hole and ..read more

Astronomers Spot Cosmic Jet Traveling 99.97% the Speed of Light

Hubble's observations indicated that the jet was traveling at a speed that was seven times the speed of light.  Later radio readings showed that the jet had slowed to four times the speed of light. This is a "cosmic illusion," however since nothing moves more quickly than light. A jet was blasted across space at 99.97% the speed of light by the collision of two neutron stars. NASA measurements from the Hubble Space Telescope support this.  In August 2017, the explosive event known as GW170817 took place. The explosion's energy was compared to that of a supernova explosion. The binar ..read more

 Off the coast of Australia, search operations have started for a "crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft." Astrophysicist Avi Loeb is sure that a meteor that crashed in 2014 came from outside our solar system and had ET technology. The £1.9 million operation to recover the "UFO" that is submerged in the Pacific Ocean has been completely financed. According to NASA, the meteor traveled through the sky close to Papua New Guinea at a speed of more than 100,000 miles per hour before colliding with the Earth near Manus Island. According to US Space Command authorities, the meteor, which was abo ..read more

A Physicist Has Worked Out The Math That Makes ‘Paradox-Free’ Time Travel Plausible

by

Even though, to our knowledge, time travel has not yet been accomplished, scientists are nonetheless fascinated by the idea of it being theoretically feasible. Moving through time poses many challenges to the fundamental laws of the universe, as depicted in films like The Terminator, Donnie Darko, Back to the Future, and many others.  For instance, if you travel through time and prevent your parents from meeting, how can you possibly exist to travel through time in the first place? The "grandfather paradox" is a major brainteaser, but in September of last year Germain Tobar, an Australia ..read more

 According to a NASA official, humans will be able to live and work on the Moon by the year 2030. “We’re going to be sending people down to the surface and they’re going to be living on that surface and doing science,” said Howard Hu, who leads the Orion lunar spacecraft program for NASA, the BBC reported Sunday The Orion spacecraft was successfully launched by NASA's powerful new Space Launch System, or SLS, rocket last week, and is now traveling in the direction of the Moon. The launch, which was frequently postponed, began NASA's Artemis missions, marking the first significant step t ..read more

1y ago
The supernova explosion will appear at least two more times in the next 20 years. Astronomers have discovered the third appearance of a gravitationally lensed supernova explosion dubbed Supernova Requiem. The images of the phenomenon appear alternately in a distant galaxy.  Astronomers have predicted the next two times that the remnant will be visible in the sky. The fourth appearance of the flare is expected to be visible in the sky in 2037, and the fifth – no earlier than 2041. Everything you need to know about the reappearing Supernova Requiem What is gravitational lensing? Gravitatio ..read more

Extraterrestrial water and DNA building blocks are found on the space rock that crashed into a field in Gloucestershire (the United Kingdom) back in 2021. An unusual meteorite that managed to enter the atmosphere last year fell in the UK. This occurred in a meadow in the Gloucestershire town.  Twelve months later, researchers found that the space rock contained DNA building blocks and alien water. The Winchcombe meteorite was the first of its kind to be found in the UK. The public and scientists made sure it was collected as soon as possible, keeping it virtually pure for researchers to ..read more

NASA Scientists Discover Evidence of a Parallel Universe Where Laws of Physics are Reversed!

According to a study, in a scene right out of "The Twilight Zone," a team of NASA researchers conducting an experiment in Antarctica have discovered evidence of a parallel world with physics that is completely opposite to our own. A cosmic ray detection experiment has discovered particles that may be from a parallel universe that also emerged from the Big Bang, according to the Daily Star. The idea of a parallel universe has been around since the early 1960s, largely in the imaginations of fans of sci-fi TV series and comics. NASA's Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna, or ANITA, was transpo ..read more

BREAKING: NASA Successfully Makes Oxygen On Mars And It Will Eventually Sustain Human Exploration

NASA claimed a few months ago that it had successfully created oxygen on Mars for the first time.  The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) can now manufacture oxygen dependably, according to comprehensive results from the experiment, which was tested seven times in diverse settings, night and day, and across two Martian seasons. According to Science Advances, the experiment was able to give 6 grammes (0.2 ounces) of oxygen every hour, which is around the rate of a tiny tree on Earth. This may appear minor, but it demonstrated that the technology is capable of tack ..read more
