When the theory of relativity was being mapped out, Einstein didn’t think that one of his predictions, the prediction that the light of a distant star being warped and magnified by the gravity of an object in its path, would ever be observed. Astronomers have laid eyes upon Einstein’s prediction and used it to their incredible advantage. They used such an observation to figure out the mass of a white dwarf! An idea inhabiting only theoretical dreams was dragged out into scientific reality in an incredibly fantastic manner. This idea was rejected by Einstein.   Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and A. Feild (STScI) With mathematical equations dragged into our physical world today, a new path of understanding galactic evolution and history is now here. It’s time for a story. In order to fully understand the significance of this finding, a portion of Einstein’s legend and legacy demands narration.  A key concept of Einstein’s theory of general relativity is gravitational lensing occurring...

There are several who think that our universe is a huge hologram, in which 3-D reality as we know it occurs inside a two-dimensional boundary. In the video below folks from Life Noggin explore this amazing concept, so watch and learn:

Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, has icy water jets. The geyser plumes on Enceladus are 8,000 times larger than those on Earth. It’s got everything we were hoping to find to find alien life. That’s why it is one of the best places to find alien life. Watch this Amazing Video:

In absolutely serious (pun intended) breaking news, here's some of the valid proof offered as presented by 'Flat Earthers' explaining why we must overlook the facts, leave genuine science, and avoid those awful, awful liars at NASA and other space agencies. Bear in mind, these are just some of their reasons. If you're searching for an real challenge to hard science, from the fact that different points on the planet experience day and night at the same time, or the Coriolis effect, to the round shadow of Earth on the Moon, well you've come to the wrong place. Funnily enough, these guys have neglected to explain these things. Neil Degrasse Tyson blames schools for this. The whole education system too. Tyson said this in a tweet, which had more than 72,000 retweets and more than 188,000 “likes”. Tyson was expressing alarm at “flat-Earthers,”. Flat-Earthers believe NASA is part of a broad conspiracy to fake the evidence of a spherical Earth, and there are societies of p...

The greatly intriguing collisions of galaxy clusters create some of the biggest bangs in the universe since the Big Bang. Galaxy clusters are massive, dynamic systems that continue to evolve and that are very interesting to observe and investigate. Now, galaxy clusters pulled a new, bright act. The collision of two galaxy clusters , the two largest gravitationally bound structures in the universe, are creating the biggest bang in our universe since the Big Bang.  An image of a galaxy cluster.NASA The two galaxy clusters are colliding at fascinating speeds to form an even bigger galaxy cluster, Abell 115 that lies approximately 2.4 billion light years from earth. This discovery greatly intrigued Jack Burns of the University of Colorado Boulder and his colleagues. The team believes that the two clusters flew past each other before, stripping each other of gas in the process. The astonishing has already collision already began. The turbulent gases caught in the middle of the two clus...

KELT-9B is one of the craziest exoplanets to be discovered yet that is the rightful citizen of phantasmagoria. Orbiting its star, KELT-9 in a staggering 1.5 days, KELT-9B possess an atmosphere that has not been seen by scientists yet due to constant blowouts by KELT-9. This planet is a gas giant similar to Jupiter, however, KELT-9B is approximately 2.8 times denser, with temperatures reaching approximately 4,600 kelvin . Yes, a planet with such incredibly high surface temperatures reaching higher than most stars. Artist conception of the KELT-9 system. NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) Also, the star that KELT-9B orbits has temperatures reaching around 10,170 kelvin. This star is one of the hottest stars known to researchers and the fact that it also possess a planet with temperatures of 4,600 kelvin is even more astonishing. In fact, astronomer Jonti Horner of the University of Southern Queensland gushed about the fantastic nature of this star saying the following words : “It would be f...

NASA publicized the finding of the first truly Earth-like planet some time ago. This discovery was possible with the help of the Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched in March of 2009. Since its launch, it has been hunting for Earth like planets.  Douglas Caldwell, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, at the time of the find, said: “It is the first terrestrial planet in the habitable zone around a star very similar to the Sun,” Artist's Impression of Kepler 452b It is a moment that would go down in history, serving as a turning for the discovery of Earth-like planets. Kepler 452 is a Sun-like star that travels through the universe 1,400 light-years from Earth. From current observations it seems like Kepler 452 has the same surface temperature as our Sun and approximately the precise same energy output. That means both the Sun and Kepler 452 are G-typee yellow dwarfs. Kepler 452’s habitability zone (the area near to the star in which liquid water c...
