Mars One provided this image of what their future colony on the planet could look like. A new report says the United States is sending two American servicemembers to Mars, saying they are willing to spend the rest of their lives on the planet. Stars and Stripes reported on Friday that the servicemembers are a Naval Reserve flight test engineer and an Air National Guard cybertransport specialist. The... 

World famous physicist Stephen Hawking says humankind should colonize other planets to ensure the future of the species. He claimed armed aggression could end civilization and that space travel would provide somewhere to go. While taking an American visitor on tour of London’s Science Museum, the physicist said colonizing other planets could be “life insurance” for whatever embattled remnants... 

A Saudi cleric has appeared in a video rejecting that Earth revolves around the sun, claiming instead that it is “stationary.” His statements have incited a fiery response on social media. When questioned by a student about whether the Earth was stationary or moving, Sheikh Bandar al-Khaibari responded with “stationary and does not move,” Saudi-owned broadcaster Al-Arabia reported. He then... 

A doctor has discovered the body of a tiny, 6-inch alien in Chile. The doctor has released a trailer showing off some footage of the adorable little extraterrestrial corpse. Steven Greer, former emergency medical physician and current alien investigator, discovered the little guy in Chile’s Atacama Desert. UFOlogists agree that the tiny alien is from Planet Zeeba, a planet that has been known to... 

NASA gives go ahead for Europa mission as it announces funding for sending a probe to Jupiter’s icy moon, which has a high probability of harboring life in our solar system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) budget request for 2016 includes $30 million to send a spacecraft to examine Europa, NewScientist reported on Tuesday. “For the first time, the budget supports... 

An asteroid the size of five football fields is approaching Earth and is expected to pass by on Monday. It will be visible through strong binoculars, definitely worth a look. The next time such an asteroid comes this close again will be in 2027. At the closest point to the Earth, asteroid 2004 BL86 will be at a distance of 1.2 million kilometers which – approximately three times the distance from... 

This illustration shows the thick dust torus that astronomers believe surrounds supermassive black holes and their accretion discs. An unknown radio signal, which may have come from a black hole, colliding neutron stars (or for those who ‘believe’ alien life), has been picked up by astronomers live for the first time ever. Its origins remain mysterious. The fast radio bursts are quick, bright flashes... 

Scientists have discovered a strange and microscopic “living balloon” in the outer levels of the Earth’s atmosphere, which they say hints at the existence of alien life. Researchers at the University of Sheffield and University of Buckingham Center for Astrobiology said the spectral-like structure, dubbed “ghost particle”, might have carried microscopic alien organisms, International... 

The threat of a possible toxic leak in the US sector of the ISS forced the American astronauts on board to isolate their module and move to the Russian sector. The hatch was reopened hours later after no leak was detected, NASA reported. The decision to reopen the hatch was done after receiving data readings from a variety of sensors aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and carefully studying... 

An artist’s rendering of what Kepler 438b may look like. Harvard scientists have discovered the most earth-like planet ever in the Lyra constellation, some 470 light years away. Astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) made the announcement at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle on Tuesday. Kepler 438b is slightly bigger than Earth and is in the orbit... 

Twenty years after NASA’s iconic ‘Pillars of Creation’ image captured a series of gaseous columns stretching an astonishing five light years high, the space agency has recaptured the same scene and rendered it in high-definition. Originally taken in 1995 by the Hubble Space Telescope, the Pillars of Creation image depicts the massive gas clouds spreading across a small region of the... 

A giant dark hole has appeared on the sun’s flaming surface, a recently-taken NASA picture has revealed. So far, scientists are stumped by why this spectacular phenomenon, known as a “coronal hole,” occurs. “The Sun starts 2015 with an enormous coronal hole near the South Pole,” scientists of NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory wrote in their blog, having posted a picture of the flaming... 

A potentially hazardous asteroid, at least 20 times the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, will approach the Earth on January 26. The rock is expected to fly by at a distance of 1.2 million kilometers. The asteroid, named 2004 BL86 by scientists, is estimated to be between 440-1,000 meters in diameter. 1.2 million kilometers is approximately three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon. According... 

NASA’s Opportunity rover has been exploring Mars for more than 10 years now, but the space agency says the robot is experiencing memory and data loss which they hope an upcoming hack will solve. NASA recently described Opportunity’s problems as “persistent computer resets and ‘amnesia’ events,” specifically pointing to issues that are occurring when the robot tries to save data on its... 

An unsettling report prepared by the Aerospace Defence Forces (ADF) that is circulating in the Kremlin today appears to show that many scientists are in fear of the potential effects to our solar system of what they term is an “asteroid army” of at least 83 giant space objects due to hurtle past Earth and Mars over the next three months. According to this report, these giant asteroids appear to...
