Extraterrestrial News & Deep Space Exploration
By Cosmic Watcher | December 16, 2025 It is a problem that has annoyed astronomers for twenty years: How did the universe get so heavy, so fast? According to standard physics, black holes need time to grow. They start small—perhaps 10 to 100 times the mass of our Sun—and slowly feed on gas or merge... Continue Reading →
The Milky Way, our cosmic home, is not a static entity. It's hurtling through space at roughly 600 km/s relative to the cosmic microwave background. But beyond this rapid motion, intriguing observations have led astronomers to speculate about another dynamic behavior: the "flapping" of its spiral arms. The Galactic Motion The Milky Way is part...

When it comes to long-term human space exploration, radiation is one of the biggest threats we face. Outside Earth's protective atmosphere and magnetic field, astronauts are exposed to dangerous levels of cosmic radiation and solar energetic particles. This raises an intriguing question: could we build an artificial magnetic field on spacecraft to mimic Earth’s protective... Continue Reading →
Have you ever tried to imagine a fourth dimension? Not time, but a spatial fourth dimension—beyond up/down, left/right, and forward/backward. It's a mind-bending concept that can feel as slippery as trying to hold a shadow. But what if we used something simple, like an apple, to make it a bit easier to digest? Welcome to...

Imagine pointing your backyard telescope toward the constellation Cygnus on a crisp, clear night. You sweep across the starry sky and settle on a faint, twinkling point of light—a supergiant star known as HDE 226868. To your eyes, it’s just another star, a distant beacon in the cosmic sea. But here’s the twist: while you’re... Continue Reading →
Antigravity is one of those ideas that keeps coming up in both science fiction and real scientific discussions. The ability to cancel out or push back against gravity would completely change how we travel, explore space, and use energy. While we don't have a working technology that creates true antigravity yet, scientists and engineers are... Continue Reading →
Time is not as constant as we might think. While we experience it as a steady progression of seconds and minutes, physics tells us otherwise. The force of gravity actually changes the scale of time, making it flow differently depending on where you are. This means that even in a tall building, time moves at... Continue Reading →
