A group of researchers made from both professional astronomers and citizen scientists alike has a made a fascinating discovery. They found what appears to be the oldest planetary disk that has ever been discovered, sitting at around 45 million years old. The diverse group of researchers, led by Steven Silverberg, from the University of Oklahoma, stumbled upon a peculiar star surrounded by a … [Read more...]
DARPA Transfers Telescope to the Air Force
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is known as a research and development institution of technology in various Department of Defense (DOD) projects. They have recently transferred the Space Surveillance Telescope (SST) to the Air Force Space Command. The SST was developed with the purpose of observing Near-Earth objects rather than peer into deep space. Until recently, the … [Read more...]
X-Ray Blasts May Reveal New Objects
Astronomers are baffled over two very mysterious objects that emitted X-Ray Blasts. They a unique phenomenon, unlike anything scientists have ever discovered, as such, they may be a new type of astrophysical event. When the objects emitted the x-ray blasts, they suddenly become incredibly bright. More specifically, 100 times brighter than they actual state in less than a minute. After an hour has … [Read more...]
Dinosaur Bones Finally Found in Denali National Park
Over the long years of their research in the Denali National Park, paleontologists were starting to doubt the saying that where there are dinosaur tracks there are dinosaur bones. However, after ten years they were finally able to find dinosaur remains in the park. In 2005, researchers exploring the Denali National Park in Alaska found the first evidence that dinosaurs previously roamed those … [Read more...]
Ten Times More Galaxies in the Observable Universe
A new study has found that there may be ten times more galaxies in the observable universe. The findings contradict NASA’s previous estimation that there are around 200 billion observable galaxies. The study was published in the Astrophysical Journal by a team of researchers led by Christopher Conselice of the University of Nottingham, U.K. The previous estimate made by NASA used the Hubble Deep … [Read more...]
Exomars Spacecraft Prepares for Separation
It was only seven months ago that Europe and Russia have launched their two ExoMars spacecraft. Now the two combined spacecraft are three days away from Mars and are preparing to separate from one another as they get closer go Mars and their eventual landing on the planet. The ExoMars mission is a joint project between the Russian Federal Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Like the … [Read more...]
Scientists Reveal Asgardia, the First Space Nation
While other countries, companies, and space agencies are racing to put the first man on Mars and eventually start a colony on the planet, other scientists want to create a space nation. The recently revealed Asgardia project will be the first of its kind when completed. The conflict over our planet’s increasingly scarce resources has led some scientists to envision a self-sustaining space … [Read more...]
Ancient Stars in the Heart of Milky Way
Scientists have discovered ancient stars in the core of the Milky Way Galaxy. The discovery has led scientists to believe that the galaxy’s center was formed through the merging of primordial star clusters. A new study has found that a high number of ancient stars called RR Lyrae variable stars reside in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The stars were detected using the infrared VISTA survey … [Read more...]

Nanotube Diet Made Worms Produce Better Silk
After changing the diet of silkworms they started to produce stronger silk. The ones who are responsible for this changed diet are Chinese researchers who managed to feed the worms carbon nanotubes. Once they started to eat this nanotube diet the silkworms produced a better, stronger silk named super-silk. This super-silk is more durable and stronger than any other silk produced. Before … [Read more...]
