Scott and Mark Kelly are twins and both work at NASA. They are part of an experiment to test the influence of space-travel on the human mind and body. Scott Kelly was onboard the ISS (International Space Station) for one year and after his return, scientists found something very unusual. His DNA was not the […]

In May 2017, Professor Jason Thomas Wright from the stateuniversity of Pennsylvania, published a groundbreaking new scientific paper. In his paper, Prof. Wright basicaly confirms Erich von Dänikens Theories. It’ s clear that more and more scientists change fronts and support the theories of extraterrestrial cultures and interaction with ancient humanity. Read more on phys.org […]

The analysis of the astrophysicists Manasvi Lingam and Abraham Loeb shows that beams used for powering large light sails could yield parameters that are consistent with FRBs. The characteristic diameter of the beam emitter is estimated through a combination of energetic and engineering constraints, and both approaches intriguingly yield a similar result which is on […]

The number of discovered near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) now tops 15,000, with an average of 30 new discoveries added each week. The number of discovered near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) now tops 15,000, with an average of 30 new discoveries added each week. This milestone marks a 50 percent increase in the number of known NEAs since 2013, […]
Breakthrough Listen at UC Berkeley will conduct follow up observations of reported anomalous spectral features (234 stars out of 2.5 million with unusual light emissions observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)) in solar type stars. The Berkeley SETI Research Center (BSRC) team has added several stars from the Borra and Trottier sample to […]

This afternoon the European Space Agency (ESA) will make a landing attempt on Mars. The Schiaparelli module is due to touch down at 3:48 UK time, although confirmation that all has gone well is likely to take several hours. This is an important moment for ESA. Their previous landing attempt on Mars, back in 2004 […]
If you’ve seen at least one other episode of the Guide to Space, you know I’m obsessed about the Fermi Paradox. This idea that the Universe is big and old, and should be teeming with life. And yet, we have no evidence that it exists out there. We wonder, where are all the aliens? As […]
A subsurface ocean lies deep within Saturn’s moon Dione, according to new data from the Cassini mission to Saturn. Two other moons of Saturn, Titan and Enceladus, are already known to hide global oceans beneath their icy crusts, but a new study suggests an ocean exists on Dione as well. Read more
Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have imaged what may be water vapor plumes erupting off the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. This finding bolsters other Hubble observations suggesting the icy moon erupts with high altitude water vapor plumes. The observation increases the possibility that missions to Europa may be able to sample Europa’s ocean […]

The world’s largest telescope will be completed this week in China and it has scientists very, very excited. With a whopping 1,640 feet (500 meter) wide dish the size of 30 football fields, the telescope will able to detect radio signals — and potentially signs of life — from distant planets. For many people, the […]
