‘Oumuamua asteroid may really be alien technology; it accelerates under its own power
In 2017, astronomers discovered a strange object that entered and then left the solar system. They called it ‘Oumuamua, and it is the first-ever interstellar object identified by scientists. The leading theory for what ‘Oumuaua is suggests that it’s a hydrogen comet. But there are key problems to this theory. For one, a hydrogen comet would have fallen […]

Amazing aquatic life: Blue-banded sea snakes “breathe” through their heads
Sea snakes, despite their name, still need to surface to get air to breathe. Australian researchers, however, have found one species that has developed an organ that lets it effectively “breathe” underwater for a limited time. Blue-banded sea snakes (Hydrophis cyanocinctus) are aquatic reptiles that can reach up to around 5 feet or 1.5 meters in length. Endemic […]

Recurring bursts of cosmic radio waves reach Earth yet again
Astronomers predicted that a mysterious fast radio burst would repeat this July or August. And it did, as predicted, according to recent observations of the fast radio burst (FRB) called FRB 121102. In June this year, an international group of researchers found that FRB 121102 repeats every 157 days. Such repeating FRBs are not unheard-of, however, this was […]

Astronomers discover more stars exhibiting unusual light fluctuations
A strange, dimming star may not be alone after a scientist discovered more stars that are possibly displaying unusual light fluctuations. Some of the stars are dimming rapidly while some are dimming at slower rates, which is similar to Boyajian’s star — a star that dips in brightness for days or weeks at a to,e before […]

The Sun once had a companion star, study suggests
The Sun was likely paired with another star, suggests a study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters. This star has the same mass as the Sun and was born out of the same cloud of dust. It was separated from the Sun after being pulled by passing stars and could be anywhere in the Milky Way. Researchers from Harvard University explained […]

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study
A mysterious space object that came from outside the solar system may be alien technology. This is because the other candidate theory is faulty, said astrophysicists from Harvard University and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. Proponents of the other theory suggest that the interstellar object, ‘Oumuamua, is a comet that is partly or entirely made up of […]

Rare fireball illuminates the night sky in China
A rare fireball brightened the night sky in Shandong Province in northeastern China. It is said to be the brightest fireball to occur on Earth in years and is even more luminous than a full Moon. According to the Chinese Meteor Monitoring Organization (CMMO), the fireball shone and exploded at about 11 p.m. on August 16. The explosion temporarily lit […]

Fascinating biology: Here’s why certain animals have DOZENS of bones in their skulls
Contrary to what most people might think, the human skull — the bone structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain — is actually composed of many bones rather than one — 22 bones, to be precise. These bones, which are connected together by fibrous structures known as “cranial sutures,” harden and fuse together […]

Mysterious cloud over volcano Arsia Mons in Mars reappears 2 years after previous sighting
The spacecraft Mars Express from the European Space Agency (ESA) captured images on July 17 and 19 that show a mysterious cloud about 1,110 miles long hovering over the volcano Arsia Mons in Mars. Scientists said that it previously appeared in the same spot in 2018, as well as at least three more occasions before. The […]

Investigating the beneficial properties of Agkistrodon halys venom (from the Siberian pit viper)
Researchers at Wanan Medical College in China investigated the effects of an extract from Agkistrodon halys (Siberian pit viper) venom on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced myocardial injury. They reported their findings in an article published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Snake venom is known to contain plenty of bioactive compounds that could potentially have therapeutic effects. […]
