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.
The results are in – our galaxy harbors at least one hundred billion planets, many of them Earth-sized meaning, small planets like our own are extremely abundant in the universe. On Monday, scientists announced that NASA’s Kepler space telescope has discovered another 461 potential new planets, most of which are the size of Earth or…
The 1,000-foot-wide Apophis asteroid is set to buzz the Earth on Wednesday (1/9/13) passing a mere 9 million miles above Earth, but the chances of a fateful impact are next to nil (but keep holding your breath, there’s a better chance in 2029 when it passes only 18,000 miles from the Earth’s surface). Still, Apophis…
When big-name scientists, celebrities, or other influential people admit their belief in the UFO phenomena, it’s an eye-opener. When an astronaut, one that has flown an Apollo mission, says that he has inside knowledge that UFOs and aliens are indeed visitors from other planets, well, it’s jaw dropping. That’s exactly what happened in 2008 when Edgar Mitchell,…
NASA announced today that its two Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) Spacecraft, named Ebb and Flow, are running out of fuel and will be control crashed into a lunar mountain on December 17, 2012 at approximately 5:28 PM EST (Flow will crash 20 seconds after Ebb). The impact area is at latitude 75.62° N,…
Scientist have long speculated that ice existed on the planet Mercury. Radio waves bounced off the planet decades ago indicated many bright spots on the planet’s surface. Scientist were reluctant to conclude that the white areas were ice though. The white reflection could have been silicate, sulfur, or other highly-reflective substances. Today, a new analysis…
Kappa Andromedae b (or ‘Kappa And b,’ for short) is 170 light-years away and orbits its sun, which is a mere 30 million years old (compared to Earth’s 5 billion year old sun), about 1.8 times farther than Neptune’s orbit. It glows red due to radiation from the heat that’s left over from its formation.…
95% of the objects in this computer generated simulation of low-Earth orbit objects is “orbital debris”, not satellites. “Space junk” consist of everything from spent rocket stages, lost equipment and defunct satellites to erosion, explosion and collision fragments. NASA estimates there are more than 500,000 pieces of space junk orbiting the Earth (“tens of millions”…
Rumors are spreading that NASA intends to deploy a robotic payload in 2017 for the purpose of finding water sources on the Moon. The payload would be mounted on a robotic rover that moved about the moon searching for water sources and other useful materials, saving NASA the expense of transporting these heavy materials from…
On Monday, NASA released images of asteroid 2007 PA8 that were shot as the asteroid passed Earth on October 28, 29, and 30. The one mile wide Asteroid 2007 PA8 5.6 passed Earth on November 5 at a distance of 4 million miles (about 17 times the distance between the Earth and Moon). This is…
A giant wave of super-hot plasma, a chunk larger than the Earth, broke away from the Sun on Friday 10/19/2012 and was captured by NASA on film (lower right section of the picture). It occurred at 4:15 AM EST. Once it started breaking away, the process only took 10 hours before it was out of…

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
