The comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein, depicted in this illustration, is estimated to be about 1,000 times more massive than a typical comet. ILLUSTRATION BY NOIRLAB, NSF, AURA, J. DA SILVA (SPACEENGINE) SCIENCENEWS One of the largest comets ever seen is headed our way Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein offers a rare opportunity for a generation of astronomers to study an object from the extreme edges of the solar system. BY MICHAEL GRESHKO PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 More than 2.7 billion miles from the sun—29 times farther than Earth treads—a tiny sliver of sunlight reflected off something plummeting toward our home star. Something icy. Something unimaginably old. Something big. ...

Alert: US Tracking Russian Rocket's Uncontrolled Re-Entry By Jack Davis January 5, 2022 at 4:20pm A massive chunk of a Russian rocket re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere Wednesday after raising fears of an impact in various U.S. locations. US Space Command said in a statement that it was “aware of and tracking the location of the Angara A5/PERSEY rocket body in space,” according to CNN. “At this time, the 18th Space Control Squadron assesses the entry point into the Earth’s atmosphere at approximately 2054 UTC (1:54 pm MST) over the Southern Pacific Ocean.” That equates 3:54 p.m. ET. “Factors such as the atmospheric conditions and the exact angle ...
Astronomers Make the Case for Calling Pluto a Planet Again

Like many people, I grew up in a solar system of nine planets. It’s the same solar system we live in now, of course, but the definition of a “planet” changed in 2006 to exclude poor little Pluto and its frosty kin. That was before we’d even seen the little ice ball up close, but New Horizons paid it a visit in 2015. Since then, an increasingly vocal minority of scientists has suggested that maybe kicking Pluto out of the planet club was a mistake. A study from a team of noted astronomers soon to be published in the journal Icarus lays out the argument for readmitting Pluto. However, it’ll bring a lot of friends.

The field of extrasolar planet studies continues to reveal some truly amazing things about our Universe. After decades of having just a handful of exoplanets available for study, astronomers are now working with a total of 4,884 confirmed exoplanets and another 8,288 awaiting confirmation. This number is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years as next-generation missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Euclid, PLATO, and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (RST) reveal tens of thousands more.
Report: Your Phone Just Buzzed In Your Pocket. UPDATE: No It Didn't

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A report filed by the FCC with the Public Safety and Homeland Security office has revealed your phone just buzzed in your pocket. However, the report’s findings were retracted after you looked at your phone in confusion. Details of the report indicate a message required your attention, but a follow-up inspection proved this incorrect. According to sources, no one was trying to contact you and you will probably die alone. The tremor you felt was an illusion. The phenomenon, known as Phantom Vibration Syndrome, just means you’re stupid. You imagined the whole thing—just like the moon landing. On the other hand, anonymous sources speculate a message did ...

Study: At least 400,000 people in America have died from covid “vaccines”
Post Date: 2021-12-28 10:27:09 by Ada

(Natural News) Columbia University researchers have found that the true death count from Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccination” is substantially higher than the official figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC claims that only 20,000 people have died from Fauci Flu injections, but Columbia’s underreporting factor estimates that 20 times that number, or around 400,000 deaths, is far more accurate. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a government-run database of vaccine injuries, currently shows around 20,000 deaths and nearly 103,000 hospitalizations from Chinese Virus shots. In total, as of December 3, there are ...

We’ve seen our galaxy’s huge black hole more clearly than ever before Astronomers have observed Sagittarius A* – the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy – closer than ever before, and Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity still holds up SPACE 14 December 2021 By Leah Crane We have seen the area close to our galaxy’s black hole more clearly than ever before. These observations have shown that, so far, Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity – which dictates how gravity affects space-time – remains accurate. One way to test general relativity is to look at the motion of stars around a supermassive black hole, ...

Why Don’t People “Trust The Science?” Because Scientists Are Often Caught Lying
Post Date: 2021-12-17 10:12:07 by Ada

Fauci argues that criticism of his policies is an attack on him, and attacking him is the same as “attacking science.” In other words, Fauci believes HE IS the science. There has been an unfortunate shift in Western educational practices in the past few decades away from what we used to call “critical thinking.” In fact, critical thinking was once a fundamental staple of US colleges and now it seems as though the concept doesn’t exist anymore; at least not in the way it used to. Instead, another form of learning has arisen which promotes “right thinking”; a form of indoctrination which encourages and rewards a particular response from students that ...

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book attacking Anthony Fauci and the medical establishment has become a publishing sensation, spending more than a full week as the #1 Amazon bestseller and racking up over 2,600 reviews, 94% of them five-star. Now after nearly a month of stunned silence, the American media is finally taking belated notice. This morning the Associated Press released a 4,000 word hit-piece harshly attacking the most prominent public figure in America’s much-vilified anti-vaxxing movement. How a Kennedy Built an Anti-Vaccine Juggernaut Amid COVID-19 Michelle R. Smith • The Associated Press • December 15, 2021 • 4,000 Words A great deal of effort had ...
