Mysterious radio signal from deep space flashes Earth 2,000 times within 2 months… –...
POWERFUL signals are being beamed in Earth's direction from deep space at an unprecedented rate. According to scientists, a repeating fast radio burst source discovered last year was recorded firing more than 1,800 bursts our way within the space of two months. 1Fast Radio Bursts are thought to come from powerful objects called magnetarsCredit: AP…
We Might Have Underestimated The Size of The Asteroid Behind Earth’s Largest Crater –...
The Vredefort crater in South Africa is the largest of its kind on Earth, estimated to stretch as far as 300 kilometers (more than 180 miles) from rim to rim. Walking non-stop, it would take a good two-and-a-half days to make it from one side to the other.The scars left by an asteroid collision some…
An unstable slope above Prince William Sound is dropping faster. A complete failure could...
Barry Arm in northern Prince William Sound. (Christian Zimmerman/U.S. Geological Survey) Last month, scientists noticed new movement on an unstable slope in Prince William Sound, but they’re uncertain where that new movement may lead.It’s possible the speed-up means rapid failure of the slope may be ahead, which could send the mass of land crashing into…

Hubble Reveals Surviving Companion Star in Aftermath of Titanic Supernova Explosion – SciTechDaily
This artist’s illustration shows supernova 2013ge, with its companion star at the lower right. The companion star is impacted by the blast wave from the supernova, but not destroyed. Over time astronomers observed the ultraviolet (UV) light of the supernova fading, revealing a nearby second source of UV light that maintained brightness. The theory is…
