Hackers could shut down satellites – or turn them into weapons

There are currently around 2,000 satellites orbiting the earth, each one beaming down signals which allow us to enjoy our favorite television shows, movies and even connect to the internet. Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. or SpaceX, which launched 242 satellites as of the end of January, plans to deploy about 42,000 more over […]

No wonder mold is so hard to kill: Study findings reveal that it can withstand space radiation doses that would even kill humans

If you have mold in your house, you’re not alone, because even the International Space Station (ISS) has it. The astronauts on the ISS spend hours every week cleaning up the station’s walls to make sure the mold situation doesn’t turn into a full-blown health problem. But that’s not all, because new research suggests that the […]

They might be rare, but “superflares” could threaten Earth within the next 100 years or so, caution scientists

Despite its age, our Sun still packs quite a punch. In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, an international team of astronomers found that the Sun is still capable of producing superflares, which are powerful bursts of radiation capable of frying communication lines and triggering large-scale blackouts. They can also cause widespread disruption […]

Thousands of new satellites to carpet bomb the planet with 5G radiation… and there’s nowhere you can hide

We are surrounded by highly advanced technological devices, with everything from our televisions and mobile devices to sophisticated smart home hubs turning our houses, work spaces and schools into so-called “smart” zones. With each passing year, however, as technology gets smarter, people seem to lose more of their ability to think, never stopping to question […]

Massive science fraud defines the speed of light as a constant, when it’s actually VARIABLE

If you think back to what you were taught in high school science class, you may recall learning that light always travels at a constant speed of 186,282 miles per second (mi/sec). But modern physicists have come to a much different conclusion, observing that the speed of light may actually be somewhat variable depending on […]

5G looks like it’s the next best thing in tech, but it’s really a Trojan horse for harming humanity

Many so-called “experts” are claiming that it’ll be a huge step forward for innovation in everything from manufacturing and transportation, to medicine and beyond. But in reality, 5G technology represents an existential threat to humanity – a “phony war” on the people who inhabit this planet we call Earth, and all in the name of […]

Scientists have discovered a explanation for the radiation belts around Saturn

It turns out that the established school of scientific thought regarding Saturn is – while not entirely wrong – insufficient to explain the origin of its radiation belts. An international team of researchers proposed that the high-energy particles in those belts are not just affected by radial diffusion, but also by their interactions with Z-mode waves. The magnetic field of a […]

Space travel to Mars could kill astronauts by zapping their gut bacteria

A new study published by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has thrown a major wrench into the government’s pipe dream of one day sending actual human beings to Mars. According to the study’s findings, the excessive amount of travel time that would be required to get astronauts all the way to the fourth body […]

Microgravity and radiation: Astronauts headed to Mars will face many health challenges

A recent study from researchers of the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) discovered that microgravity, a condition where people or objects appear to be weightless, causes muscle and bone loss. This may pose a risk for astronauts who will be traveling to other celestial bodies such as the moon and Mars, especially for long periods of time. While scientists have previously […]

Cosmic ray exposure in space higher than previously thought; astronauts need protection

For a long time, cosmic rays have been the stuff science fiction films are made of: Intergalactic heroes fighting off bad guys that shoot off the stuff or state-of-the-art spaceships being protected by it. However, real life isn’t too far off, albeit with a potentially more sinister twist: While radiation exposure in space is a […]
