Cosmic Sandcastles: Humanity’s Fleeting Mark on the Universe #Paranormal

Everything we do here on Earth will be deleted from the cosmic record in a billion years, when the Sun will brighten and boil off all liquid water from the surface of our planet through a runaway greenhouse effect. The sturdiest structures we construct on the surface of Earth will constitute the tombstones of our civilization. This state of affairs should remind us of our personal life, where the notion of death affects what we choose to do in the limited time allotted to us. However, a cosmic time horizon of a billion years sounds so far away that we…

Astronomers Baffled: Nearby Galaxies Are Pointing at Us #Paranormal

Like the Moon bound to Earth, the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is orbited by dozens of dwarf satellite galaxies. But astronomers have discovered something strange—nearly all of them are clustered on one side, eerily aligned toward our galaxy, the Milky Way. This lopsided arrangement defies expectations, with simulations suggesting just a 0.3% chance of such an unnatural distribution occurring randomly. “M31 is the only system that we know of that demonstrates such an extreme degree of asymmetry,” says lead researcher Kosuke Jamie Kanehisa. Current models predict that satellite galaxies should scatter randomly around their host, shaped by dark matter’s invisible pull.…

Rivers and Seas on Saturn’s Largest Moon Have Unexplained Features #Paranormal

On Earth, coastlines are dynamic interfaces where land and sea meet, often marked by river deltas at the confluence of rivers and oceans. Intriguingly, Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, also possesses rivers and seas, but observations reveal enigmatic features that challenge our understanding. The study was published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Titan, the largest of Saturn’s numerous moons, boasts a substantial atmosphere that fosters Earth-like weather patterns, including clouds, wind, and precipitation. However, its rivers, lakes, and seas are composed of liquid methane and ethane, not water. Data from the Cassini spacecraft, obtained in 2006 using specialized radar,…

Potentially Habitable World Exists Near Saturn #Paranormal

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may harbor life. Scientists have found out what it might look like, where it is most likely to be found, and in what quantities. The study was published in The Planetary Science Journal, reports Phys. Saturn’s moon Titan is a unique world. It is the only satellite of a planet in the solar system that has a thick atmosphere and liquid on the surface. However, it is not water, but liquid methane, and it is found in lakes and rivers that are located in the middle of a surface covered with ice rocks and sand. It…

Asteroid No Longer a Risk to Earth—But Could Strike Moon #Paranormal

The near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered in December 2024, and initial observations of its orbit suggested a potential impact with Earth in 2032. The impact probability rose from 1.2% to 2.3%, then to 2.6%, peaking at 3.1% on 18 February 2025, before dropping to nearly 0% by the end of February. To better assess the asteroid’s threat, NASA directed the James Webb Space Telescope toward YR4, revealing a new possibility—it might collide with Earth’s Moon instead. Key data from Webb revised the asteroid’s estimated size from 131-295 feet (40-90 meters) down to 174-220 feet (53-67 meters)—roughly the height of…

Artemis II Insignia Honors All

The four astronauts who will be the first to fly to the Moon under NASA’s Artemis campaign – NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen – have designed an emblem to represent their mission that references both their distant destination and the home they will return to.

Artemis II Core Stage Integration – Complete!

Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems and primary contractor Amentum integrate the SLS (Space Launch System) Moon rocket with the solid rocket boosters onto mobile launcher 1 inside High Bay 3 of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, March 23, 2025. Artemis II is the first crewed test flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign and is another step toward missions on the lunar surface and helping the agency prepare for future human missions to Mars.

Technological Signatures on Free-Floating or Non-Habitable Planets #Paranormal

It is customary to search for signs of life on rocky planets in the habitable zone of their host star. There, the planet’s surface is not too hot or too cold, allowing for the chemistry of life in liquid water in the presence of a sufficiently dense atmosphere. One could imagine that other forms of life-as-we-do-not-know-it thrive in other fluids. NASA’s Dragonfly mission, scheduled for launch in July 2028, will search for signs of life in the liquid oceans, lakes and rivers of methane and ethane on the surface of Titan, a moon of Saturn. The surface temperature on Titan…

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell’s Wife Reveals His UFO Encounters #Paranormal

The wife of a late NASA astronaut has shared fascinating insights into the stories he used to tell her about UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters. Venturing into space is an extraordinary experience, one that only a privileged few will ever have the opportunity to undertake in their lifetimes. Naturally, these individuals have witnessed phenomena that most of us can only imagine. But UFOs? According to the wife of an Apollo astronaut, her husband often spoke of such encounters during his time in space. Anita Mitchell was married to the late NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who made history as the sixth man…

New Evidence Suggests Jupiter’s Moon Callisto Hides a Subsurface Ocean #Paranormal

If there were a contest for the most intriguing moon in our solar system, Callisto would undoubtedly be a top contender. As Jupiter’s second-largest moon, it boasts more impact craters than any other planetary body. Scientists have speculated that beneath its scarred surface lies a vast liquid saltwater ocean, and new evidence from reanalyzed data brings us closer to confirming this long-held theory. A team led by NASA’s Corey J. Cochrane has found stronger evidence supporting this theory by revisiting 30-year-old data from the Galileo mission. Originally, the team wasn’t studying Callisto but Neptune’s moon Triton, which also has a…

Could Alien Life Swim in Acid? Weird Chemistry of Sulfuric Acid Worlds #Paranormal

Life on Earth needs water to survive, but scientists think life on other planets might use something totally different, like concentrated sulfuric acid. Water is great for Earth’s life because it helps chemicals mix and react. But in places like Saturn’s moon Titan, where it’s super cold, or Venus, where it’s super acidic, water wouldn’t work. So, scientists are looking at other liquids that could support life. A team of researchers, including scientists from MIT, studied different liquids to see if they could work as a “solvent” for life—a liquid that helps chemicals mix and react. They looked at things…
