1. With loving greetings from all souls at this station, this is Matthew. We begin by calling upon our friend and colleague Hatonn to address the most pressing concern in many thoughts: Can Japan’s nuclear facility’s situation be safely resolved; what long-term environmental damage will result...

The U.S. space agency, NASA, says an asteroid measuring 400 meters in diameter will pass the Earth within the orbit of the moon in November, giving scientists their best opportunity so far to closely observe a space rock this large. Asteroid 2005 YU55 is classified as a potentially...

AFP April 8, 2011 NASA is studying a surprising cosmic burst at the center of distant galaxy that has burned for more than a week, longer than astronomers have ever seen before, the US space agency said Thursday. Calling it “one of the most puzzling cosmic blasts ever observed,” NASA said it...

A meteor exploded 80 kilometres above Auckland last night, giving a dramatic light and sound show for those lucky enough to see it. It was seen over a wide area of the North Island but most prominently in Auckland. Auckland's Stardome Observatory education officer David Britten said it would...

With who are they working? It MUST be a world-wide collaboration. To borrow an answer form someone named " The Truth" who posted in another question.. Watch the documentary "The Missing NASA Transmissions" to see that NASA does hide information from us, the public - who fund them. Also the...

March 16, 2011: Mark your calendar. On March 19th, a full Moon of rare size and beauty will rise in the east at sunset. It's a super "perigee moon"--the biggest in almost 20 years. "The last full Moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993," says Geoff Chester of the US Naval...

Hovering in the sky, this rainbow cloud over Mount Everest took an astonished astronomer by surprise. Oleg Bartunov, 51, caught the spectacle on camera during a Himalayas expedition in Nepal. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...#ixzz1GnqjOgu7...

Himmler's crystal skull found in Germany A crystal skull believed to have occult powers that was part of a treasure trove of architects held by S.S. chief Heinrich Himmler has been unearthed in Germany. The skull, found resting in an attic in the roof of a house in a small Bavarian village...

Video from YouTubber: "astrolpatroit". His powerful telescope shows that Comet Elenin does NOT EXISTS! In its location we have a brown dwarf, orbited by at least 5 huge moons: Nibiru. Nibiru is aproaching from behind the Sun, pulling us slightly closer to our Mother Star. Watch the video...

A UFO in the skies above Siberia on March 2, 2011 was investigated by Emergencies Ministry staff after concerned locals claimed they were visited by something unexplained. Residents of Ossinsky district in Irkutsk Region said a loud, glowing object appeared in the sky – but nobody has been...

by Gary Vey for viewzone The idea of a new planet being discovered in our Solar System is pretty exciting. Even more so because of the many theories about "planet-x" or "Nibiru" being associated with space aliens and the doomsday prophecies of 2012. Scientists at places like NASA and famous...

Comet Elenin was just discovered this past Dec. 2010 by a Russian Astronomer Leonid Elenin. The question is why media hasn’t said anything about it? They have always made a big fuzz in the past about found comets. Is it because it is going to be coming a little too close for comfort and...

The galaxy NGC 2841 currently has a relatively low star formation rate compared to other spirals. It is one of several nearby galaxies that have been specifically chosen for a new study in which a pick 'n' mix of different stellar nursery environments and birth rates are being observed. Star...

The Herschel Space Observatory has revealed how much dark matter it takes to form a new galaxy bursting with stars. Herschel is a European Space Agency (ESA) cornerstone mission supported with NASA contributions. The findings are a key step in understanding how dark matter, an invisible...

'Strange lights and objects have been recorded on our moon for hundreds of years. *In 1787, legendary astronomer, Sir William Herschel, recorded strange lights traveling across the dark lunar surface. *On one particular occasion of that same year, he spotted 3 red lights in the darkness of the...

You know how you sometimes can sense that something is present even though you can't see it? Well, astronomers are getting that feeling about a giant, hidden object in space. And when we say giant, we mean GIANT. Evidence is mounting that either a brown dwarf star or a gas giant planet is...

Wurdi Youang rocks could prove Aborigines were first astronomers... IS this just a pile of rocks placed in a semicircle, or proof that Aborigines were the world's first astronomers? After years of meticulous examination, a group of Australia's most distinguished astro-physicists is starting...

NASA unveiled a wealth of new data from its planet-seeking Kepler space telescope today (Feb. 2) - observations that significantly increase the number of possible alien planets and identify potential Earth-size worlds, including 54 planets that could be habitable. To date, more than 500 alien...

Astronomers said on Thursday they had found six planets orbiting a distant star in the most exciting but also most challenging find since exploration of other solar systems began 15 years ago. None of the so-called exoplanets, orbiting the star Kepler-11 2,000 light years away, is remotely...

This artist's illustration shows the Kepler planet-hunting telescope as it jettisons its dust cover, to open its sensitive camera eye on the cosmos. JAN 31, 2010 NASA scheduled the press conference for 1 p.m. EST (1800 GMT) at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. NASA's Kepler spacecraft is...
