Two giant swaths of radiation, known as the Van Allen Belts, surrounding Earth were discovered in 1958. Scientists assumed that there were only two radiation rings around the Earth, but a recently-launched NASA probe has detected a new “temporary” belt. As radiation rings pose serious hazards, the finding have implications for future manned flights. The third belt of radioactive energy particles... 

NASA is expected to announce later today that a space rock, capable of wiping out a large city will make a pass of the Earth on 15th February. The rock, some 35 yards in size will pass at a distance of 17,000 miles from the Earths surface, thats 14 times closer than the moon is to our planet, closer even than many weather satellites in orbit. The fly by is being called “a record near miss” by... 

This particular solar flare was formed on the 23rd of January, according to NASA. NASA announced this week that a solar flare occurred following a magnetic storm, which occurs when these particles come into contact with the magnetosphere. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA for its acronym in English) reported Friday that a solar flare is traveling to Earth at a speed of about... 

The Islamic Republic of Iran has sent a monkey into space on a suborbital flight and returned it to Earth safely. On Monday, Iran launched the Kavoshgar Pishgam (Pioneer Discoverer) rocket, which took the primate to an altitude of 120 kilometers. “In this project, we are sending a live animal, a monkey, into space. This kind of monkey’s physiology is very similar to humans. We are [using]... 

The Dutch nonprofit company Mars One is planning to establish a human settlement in the Red Planet by 2023, International Business Times has reported. The company released its basic astronaut requirements for the plan to call not only scientists or pilots but anyone who is at least 18 years old. Recruiting is scheduled to begin later this year during a televised global selection process based on some... 

Artist’s impression: five planets orbit the star Tau Ceti, which is just 11.9 light-years from Earth. Astronomers have discovered that the closest Sun-like star, Tau Ceti, is orbited by five planets, one of which is in the “habitable range”. If its existence is confirmed, the planet could be the closest potentially life-harboring world to our own. Tau Ceti, twelve light years away, belongs... 

Decreased solar activity over the last few years could potentially trigger a solar maximum or EMP event, halting planet Earth’s modernized civilization as we know it virtually overnight. Why have the elites been gearing up at unprecedented rates with underground structures in a rushed erratic fashion? This question has also led me to ask myself, “Does any of this 2012 stuff make sense?” “The... 

The Moon is seen passing in front of the Sun during a solar eclipse in Auckland, New Zealand. A total solar eclipse was observed on Tuesday (13th) from 17:40 (GMT) in the state of Queensland, Australia. Clouds hampered the show, but even so, it was possible to observe the Sun completely covered by the Moon for a few minutes. The eclipse could be seen from the Garig Gunak Barlu National Park, 250 kilometers... 

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... 

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,... 

James Hansen, director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and eco-fascist, predicts that the warming of the Earth is happening and his “projections about increasing global temperature have been proved true. But I failed to fully explore how quickly that average rise would drive an increase in extreme weather.” The alarmist scientists claim that the global temperature has risen an... 

The International Institute of Earthquake Prediction Theory and Mathematical Geophysics (MITPAN) department of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) is reporting to President Putin today that our world faces the “imminent threat” of a “major” to “catastrophic” earthquake to occur within the fortnight due to an “extreme” solar storm that has begun hitting Earth’s atmosphere. According... 

A grim report prepared by the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) for President Putin on the catastrophic flooding in the ‎Krasnodar region that has killed at least 144 people warns that our world is fast approaching what is termed as a “Chizhevsky Super Event” due to the rapidly growing number of sunspots that continue to hurl M and X Class Flares towards Earth causing continued and massive global... 

A NASA-funded research project has discovered the existence of unexplained portals between the Earth and the Sun. A NASA-sponsored researcher has recently found “hidden portals” in the magnetic field of the Earth through examining data from a NASA satellite. Calling them “X-points” or “electron diffusion regions”, Jack Scudder, a researcher at the University of Iowa says the portals are... 

Some 500,000 asteroids are circulating near-Earth space and some of them may pose a real danger to our planet. But a US company says it plans to build a telescope that will be able to watch them. ­Some asteroids may collide with Earth between 2020 and 2030, and only about 10,000 out of half a million have been catalogued to date – so time is of the essence. But the B612 Foundation is certain its...
