Aside from Earth, the Moon is also in danger of getting completely destroyed by a killer asteroid. If this happens, Earth will go through various events that can significantly affect life on the planet.
A team of astronomers from Australia discovered that Andromeda has been devouring galaxies billions of years ago. Since Andromeda is currently on a collision course with Milky Way, studying how it eats other galaxies will provide a deeper understanding of our galaxy’s own fate.
A new study conducted by researchers from South Africa revealed that an asteroid may have hit Earth 12,800 years ago and caused mass extinctions. The scientists warned that a similar event could happen again if the asteroid Apophis 99942 collides with the planet.
A video simulation showed the devastating events that the dinosaurs suffered through shortly after a massive asteroid crashed on Earth. In just a few hours after impact, the thriving paradise on Earth turned into a hellish environment.
Aside from asteroids and solar storms, it seems there’s a new cosmic threat that Earth should be worried about. According to a research, it is possible for NASA to inadvertently start a zombie outbreak from space.
NASA is currently monitoring five asteroids that are expected to approach Earth this weekend. Based on the sizes of the approaching asteroids, they will most likely explode mid-air if they end up hitting the planet.
A scientist revealed that NASA has a last-ditch warning system for killer asteroids that are only a couple of days away from hitting Earth. The scientist explained that this acts as a back-up system in case an asteroid slips through NASA’s main trackers.
A scientist warned that moving to Mars could be the only way for humans to survive cosmic threats that can cause mass extinctions on Earth. Right now, one of the biggest threats facing the planet is a massive asteroid strike.
An expert revealed that it is possible for humans to survive the destruction of Earth caused by a major asteroid strike. However, the expert noted that this can only be done through early planning.
NASA’s tracking system has spotted three asteroids that are currently heading for Earth. Based on the sizes of the asteroids, they will most likely explode in the sky if they enter Earth’s atmosphere.
An American physicist claimed through a new study that aliens might be using asteroids that fly near Earth to spy on the planet. The scientist then called for new missions to visit the near-Earth objects (NEO) to find the alien observers.
A UFO expert claims to have spotted what appears to be a lizard or rat-like alien creature on the surface of Mars. According to the UFO expert, the creature is just one of the many alien lifeforms that inhabit the Red Planet.
NASA is preparing a couple of missions to visit and study Centaurs, which are hybrid space rocks that have characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Scientists working with the agency believe studying these unique cosmic objects would provide a deeper understanding of the Solar System’s formation and evolution.
After unveiling the commercial spacecraft Starship during a recent SpaceX event, the company’s founder Elon Musk shared his thoughts regarding the existence of alien life. If an actual encounter with extraterrestrials does happen, Musk is hoping the aliens will be nice.
NASA has released the various sounds recorded by its InSight robotic lander on Mars. Some of these include the sounds produced by earthquakes on the Red Planet, which are also known as marsquakes.
According to NASA, the biggest asteroid to approach Earth this year will arrive in a couple of weeks. If the potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) ends up hitting Earth, the impact event would create an explosion powerful enough to wipe out a large and populated city.
NASA is currently tracking four asteroids that are headed towards Earth. According to the agency’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the largest asteroid from the group is almost as big as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has detected a massive asteroid that has a chance of hitting Earth in the future. Based on its size, the asteroid is almost as large as the tallest man-made structure in the world and is capable of wiping out an entire city if it collides with the planet.
An official from the U.K. Space Agency warned that Earth will get hit by a massive solar storm from the Sun within the next few years. The solar flares from the storm could be powerful enough to disrupt and disable the various communication and electrical infrastructures of countries.
A researcher explained what exactly happens to the various cosmic materials that black holes devour in space. The researcher also clarified where the objects that enter black holes end up in.
A new study says that time traveling through space could be quite possible.
A study revealed that water in asteroids that orbit near Earth can be extracted and turned into fuel for satellites and spacecraft. The findings of the study indicated that asteroids are more practical sources of water in space than the Moon.
