One of the most respected physicists in the world recently stunned the science community by claiming there is evidence our universe formed in the aftermath of a far more ancient universe. #ancientuniverse #universe
Scientists studying exoplanets say that the search for life-sustaining planets outside our solar system has been marred by undue focus on seeking planets similar to Earth, whereas there may be very different kinds of planets even more conducive to life than our own. #habitableplanets
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to approve tens of thousands of satellites and similar vehicles from SpaceX and other companies to provide internet coverage – including unsafe 5G – from space.
Astronomers have found six galaxies lying around a supermassive black hole when the Universe was less than a billion years old. This is the first time such a close grouping has been seen so soon after the Big Bang and the finding helps us better understand how supermassive black holes formed and grew so quickly. It supports the theory that black holes can grow rapidly within large structures which contain plenty of gas to fuel them. #blackholes
A number of liquid bodies have been found on Mars, raising the tantalizing possibility that liquid water could exist on the Red Planet long believed to be desolate and hostile to life. #marswater
Scientists can see how dark matter is distributed based on how its gravity affects light, but when astronomers compared recent data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope to current models, something didn’t add up. #darkmatter #sciencenews
Scientists around the world are creating things that we would consider science fiction. The reality of Star Trek and Star Wars is now upon us as found in super technology.
Harvard scientists think that the first interstellar object detected in our solar system, called “Oumuamua,” could be an alien spacecraft. #aliencraft #aliens #space
While appearing as a delicate and light veil draped across the sky, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope actually depicts a small section of the Cygnus supernova blast wave, located around 2600 light-years away. #hubble #CygnusLoop
The most mysterious aspect of ‘Oumuamua’ was the fact that it seemed to be gaining momentum, as though it were being propelled by some kind of propulsion system. #Oumuamua
Outer space is full of rare things and phenomena that will always impress people. Let’s take a journey to the most beautiful and bizarre places found in space! #spacebeauty
The skies will delight stargazers with overlapping meteor showers towards the end of the month. #MeteorShower
There’s a partial penumbral “buck moon” eclipse on tap for the US on the night of July 4 and morning of July 5. Here’s how to watch it.
NASA has released an absolutely epic time-lapse video of the Sun that depicts 10 years of changes that it has undergone over the past decade. The video is a compilation of 10 years of images collected by the U.S. space agency’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).#sunactivity
There may be as many as one Earth-like planets for every five Sun-like stars in the Milky Way Galaxy, according to new estimates. #earthlikeplanet #exoplanets
