Astronomers have discovered the most massive, for the time being, object in the universe. This is a supermassive black hole at the center of Galaxy NGC 1277 in the constellation of Perseus. The black hole is 228 million light years far from Earth. The discovery was made by a group of German scientists from the Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg during the analysis of the images of the galaxy obtained... 

The local Fox affiliate in Denver has confirmed widespread sightings of a UFO in the skies over Denver, even getting a shot with their own cameras. The videos of this sighting have been verified for authenticity and all experts asked so far agree that this clearly qualifies as a UFO. Unnamed witnesses have come forward with video and still pictures of the aircraft, and have explained to reporters... 

“2001: A Space Odyssey” may have been the most famous and commented film of science-fiction, yet it is too the most ridiculous. His technical agenda has been humiliated by the time, like the whole dreams of this modern deceiving world. In 2001 we haven’t landed on Jupiter or in one of its satellites. In 2012 we are not traveling anywhere; we are not even traveling anymore. The space... 

New space debris could threaten the International Space Station and other space missions after Russian rocket ‘Briz-M’ recently exploded into some 500 fragments, most of which are now floating in low Earth orbit. ­The rocket was previously floating inert in space after it failed on a mission to deliver two satellites to its intended orbits in a botched August launch. The rocket engine stalled... 

NASA scientists reported on Thursday that the robot Curiosity will study the recently discovered bright particles on the Martian surface after it was ruled out that they could be from any cables of the ship that carried the android. In October, it showed transmitted while collecting samples of Martian soil. Scientists at the U.S. space agency NASA (by acronym) announced that the robot Curiosity will... 

Next-door neighbour: An artist’s impression of the recently found planet orbiting Alpha Centauri B, a member of the triple star system that is the closest to our own (click on the image to enlarge it) An Earth-sized planet has been found orbiting a star in Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbouring solar system. The mystery world circling Alpha Centauri B is thought to be much too hot to support... 

Astronomers have identified a giant gas planet, located just under 5,000 light-years away, that its sky is illuminated by four different stars (suns). According to the report published in Astrophysical Journal, the planet named PH1, after the Planet Hunters site, is slightly larger than Neptune and about six times the size of Earth. Two US volunteers, Kian Jek of San Francisco and Robert Gagliano... 

The well-known Italian Mars-researcher Matteo Ianneo has discovered a new geometric structure on Mars, a Ziggurat. Ziggurats were massive structures built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau, having the form of a terraced step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. Matteo Ianneo has a great portfolio of discoveries which includes human face shapes, statues,... 

Austrian daredevil Felix Baumgartner has become the first human to break the sound barrier by a freefall jump from the edge of space. Baumgartner, 43, leaped off a capsule more than 39 kilometers above the earth with his speed reaching 834 miles (about 1,342 kilometers) per hour, or 1.24 times the speed of sound, on Sunday. He jumped from an altitude of 39,045 meters and landed in the New Mexico desert... 

Illustration shows cross-section view of 55 Cancri e A team of American-Franco researchers led by Yale University have discovered a nearby planet, twice as big as Earth, with a mantle that could be composed largely of diamonds. The planet, known as 55 Cancri e, is located just 40 light years away in the constellation of Cancer and is likely covered in diamond and graphite rather than water and granite,... 

The initial stage of unprecedented radio telescope has been officially opened in Australia. The project will explore the universe in search of new galaxies, black holes, planets and even intelligent extraterrestrial life – if there is any. In the heart of red desert where man-made radio signals are minimal the AUS$152 million worth telescope will scan space for traces of the beginning of the universe,... 

Russia’s space agency wants to send a mission to Apophis, the notorious asteroid which may change its course and eventually collide with Earth. It will plant a radio beacon, which will help track the celestial body and assess the risks it poses. ­The 300-meter-wide asteroid first made headlines in 2004, when NASA reported that it has 1 chance in 223 of impacting on our planet in 2029. It was even... 

It seems that Curiosity, a Martian rover, managed to find evidence that proves that there used to be a lot of water on the Red Planet. The discovery means that that there could be life on Mars as well. The images obtained with the help of telemetry show a river channel or streams among rocks. Researchers are studying the images, trying to determine the parameters of an ancient water reservoir. The... 

Two mysterious and identical UFO’s almost 1,000 miles apart have been observed on Google Maps – raising questions as to what they are and how they were photographed there in the first place. The red orb-like shapes are visible to all users of the application online at Jacksonville in Texas and at the Sky City Casino Hotel on 32 Indian Service Route 30, Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico. At both... 

NASA scientists plan to launch a telescope into space in an attempt to find the mysterious killer planet Nibiru. Supposedly, the planet may considerably change life on Earth in near future, reports NTV. According to a number of experts on the esoteric, the planet will bring all sorts of horrors to Earth, strictly on the scenarios of end-of-the-world films. The list of disasters includes: earthquakes,...
