Scientists had long thought that Saturn’s moon Enceladus had an ocean of liquid water underneath its thick, icy surface (in 2004, NASA scientists saw water vapor and ice spewing from vents near the moon’s south pole). Today. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft revealed actual evidence that their guess was correct – an ocean lies hidden inside the…

NASA has been responsible for some of the most significant space exploration missions in history, including the Apollo missions, the Space Shuttle program, and the International Space Station. We have a wide range of topics related to NASA, including space exploration, planetary science, astrophysics, aeronautics, and more. Delve into the history of NASA and the people who have made it the incredible organization it is today.
North Korea’s new space agency logo says a lot – NADA
Uh oh. How come this map just released by NASA is glowing RED!!!
Saturn – the greatest planet (except for Uranus which is easier to work into jokes)
Like Jupiter, Saturn is a large, gaseous planet composed mostly of the gases hydrogen and helium. Saturn has a magnetic field 1,000 times stronger than Earth’s but not as strong as Jupiter’s. Due to its gaseous nature, Saturn’s density is so low that it could float in an ocean of water. It probably has a…
Mark your calendars. NASA funded research project predicts collapse of our civilization within the next few decades
According to a surprising new study funded by NASA, civilizations on Earth are set to collapse – within only a few decades. Researchers used advanced mathematical models seeded with compelling historical data related to previous civilizational collapses (e.g. Roman Empire, Gupta Empires) to reach their conclusion and found that even with conservative estimations, civilization as…
Scientists struggle to explain Mars rock that appeared out of thin air.
Last week, NASA scientists revealed the discovery of a mysterious rock on Mars that seems to have suddenly appeared out of thin air. News of the errant “mystery rock”, which NASA said was “like nothing we’ve ever seen before”, were announced last week during an event at which NASA shared the Mars rover team’s excitement…
NASA discovers unusual “Hand of God” structure in space.
New NASA imagery has been released showing a huge, bizarre, glowing human hand-like structure that appears to be reaching out to touch a brilliant glowing red cloud in deep space. Complete with clearly-defined forearm, wrist, thumb, fingers, and fingernails, the celestial object has been appropriately dubbed the “Hand of God”.
The Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) – unusual number of supernovas exploding for no apparent reason
NGC 6946 (also known as the Fireworks Galaxy, Arp 29, and Caldwell 12) is a medium-sized, face-on spiral galaxy about 22.5 million light years away from Earth located in the constellations Cepheus and Cygnus. At about 20,000 light years wide, it’s one of about a dozen nearby neighbors to the Milky Way. Since its discovery…
New photo of giant star, Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in our galaxy
The bright star at the center of this nebula, the object responsible for the nebula’s distorted form, is Eta Carinae, one of the most massive stars in the galaxy. Eta Carinae is around 100 times the mass of our sun and 1 million times brighter. Scientists think it could explode as a supernova at any…
