A paper set to be published in an upcoming edition of Physical Review Letters postulates that dark energy may not exist. In order to explain this, however, researchers reject the longstanding Copernican principle which says that Earth does not exist in a "special" location. picked by cactushair 1 year ago

It would be nice to say such phenomena have minimal impact on the environment or life on Earth, but solar flares do strongly influence our local space weather, and produce streams of highly energetic particles in solar wind that can pose radiation risks to astronauts.

Since our race was born, we tried to understand things like why we are alive, if the earth is flat or round or if the universe is infinite. Different theories were created and years after corrected.......... picked by niceplime 2 years ago

If skies are clear in your area on Sunday night, Dec. 23, you'll be able to partake in a rather unusual sight as the full moon appears to glide very closely above the planet Mars. Mars, which made its closest approach to the Earth on Dec. 18, will be only hours from a Christmas Eve opposition with the sun and is now shining prominently with a bright yellow-orange glow. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

An earthquake reaching a magnitude of 5.2 struck most of Britain in the early hours of the 27th of February.

The epicentre was in Lincolnshire, and shockwaves were felt as far afield as Portsmouth, Northern Ireland and Holland.

This is the most powerful earthquake to hit Britain in 25 years. picked by rhinovirus 2 years ago

"While a pen always falls when you drop it on Earth, it would just float away if you let go of it on the Moon." My jaw dropped a little. I blurted "What?! A pen would fall if you dropped it on the Moon, just more slowly." I protested. "No it wouldn't." the TA explained calmly, "because you're too far away from the Earth's gravity." picked by nikneven 7 months ago

Astrium, the space systems arm of European aerospace company EADS, says it wants to build a four-passenger rocket-equipped jet to send space tourists to an altitude of 100 km (60 miles) above the earth for three minutes of weightlessness and a rare view of Earth's curvature. picked by DrNothing 2 years ago

Gives size comparison for everything from 2001: A Space Odyssey's USS Discovery to a Heavy Cruiser from Babylon 5. TONS of Trekkie stuff, and neat even for non-nerds to peek at, as it includes real Earth space ships, like the State's shuttle. picked by deepchill 2 years ago

The plains of solidified lava that give the Moon its quirky human-like face as seen from Earth were created more than four billion years ago. The evidence comes from an unearthly silvery-grey stone that was blasted off from the face of the Moon, perhaps by an impacting asteroid, and was then captured by Earth's gravity, prompting it to fall to ground in Botswana. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Imagine a place awash with more hydrocarbons than a Texan oilman can dream of and where no one has staked a single claim -- all that energy is just going begging. The problem: this massive reserve is at least 1.2 billion kilometers (750 million miles) away from Earth, on a tiny inhospitable world where on a warm day it's minus 179 degrees Celsius (minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit). picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Photo artist Takahito posed several Blythe dolls at the otherworldly Tottori sand dunes in Japan, dubbing the photo set “Planet of the Blythes”. I don't know about you, but they remind me of the images beamed back to Earth from the Mars rovers. picked by mitzuzake 1 year ago
