by Lady Michelle Jennifer Santos, Founder and Publisher April 19, 2012 (TSR) – As our official adieu to winter and welcome of spring, we want to treat our subscribers with some amazing time-lapse photography of Aurora Borealis (a.k.a. Northern Lights) from Norway. We found some awe-inspiring images in vimeo.com, captured by Norwegian amateur photographer Ole Christian [...]
March 2, 2012 (TSR) - The big bang created a lot of matter—along with the same amount of antimatter, which wiped out everything and brought the universe to an untimely end. That’s what accepted theoretical physics tell us—though things clearly didn’t work out that way. Now, results from a U.S. particle smasher are providing new evidence [...]
Jan. 11, 2012 (TSR) - The Pentagon’s premiere research agency has chosen a former astronaut to lead a foundation that is designed to take humanity to the stars. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) and Nasa are sponsoring the project, known as the 100-Year Starship. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to go into space, [...]
MOFFET FIELD, Calif. Dec 6, 2011 (NASA/TSR) — NASA’s Kepler mission has confirmed its first planet in the “habitable zone,” the region where liquid water could exist on a planet’s surface. Kepler also has discovered more than 1,000 new planet candidates, nearly doubling its previously known count. Ten of these candidates are near-Earth-size and orbit in the habitable zone of [...]
Oct 15, 2011 (Space/TSR) – The moment long feared by conspiracy theorists is nearly upon us: The “doomsday comet” Elenin will make its closest approach to Earth Sunday (Oct. 16). Or what’s left of it will, anyway. Comet Elenin started breaking up in August after being blasted by a huge solar storm, and a close pass by the sun on [...]
August 6, 2011 (TSR)- Sweden’s Ocean Explorer, an ocean exploration team that hunts for sunken ships and cargo, made the discovery inadvertently while hunting for a century-old shipwreck that had several cases of rare champagne. The team, led by Peter Lindberg, was using sonar to survey the Gulf of Bothnia on June 19, in the [...]
New observations from the Herschel Space Observatory show a bizarre, twisted ring of dense gas at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. Only a few portions of the ring, which stretches across more than 600 light-years, were known before. Herschel’s view reveals the entire ring for the first time, and a strange kink that has astronomers scratching [...]
Flying saucers are generally associated with UFOs, with that “U” in there standing for “unidentified.” But the saucer shape isn’t just limited to aliens from outer space: there are a fair number of entirely identified terrestrial aircraft that utilize a more or less circular and saucery design. We’ve got a list of ten flying saucers for [...]
A missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles say that our Sun is heading for a rest period even as it is acting up for the first time in years, according to scientists at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). As the current sunspot cycle, Cycle [...]
As the earth came in between the sun and the moon, its shadow first began sweeping across the moon, blocking out much of its bright light and as the shadow descended gently, the moon’s face turned red. This was the century’s longest and darkest total lunar eclipse as the moon immersed deeply inside the umbral [...]
