New study suggests that an encounter of the solar system with a giant molecular dark cloud could have driven an environmental catastrophe leading to mass extinction in the last 8 million years of the Cretaceous period. http://www.cosmosup.com/dark-cloud-mass-extinction...

Thousands of people reported to have seen a mysterious floating city above China's skies. Could this be proof that parallel universe exists? http://www.cosmosup.com/proof-alternate-parallel-universes...

WE DETECTED GRAVITATIONAL WAVES…. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… two black holes collided in a fateful swirling waltz. Just like when you toss a rock into a pond and it creates ripples on the surface of the water, this collision sent ripples through the fabric of space time. And we final...

Think Pluto is far away? Think again! Researchers have just discovered an icy world — designated V774104 — a ‘Mini-Pluto’ which is about 103 times farther away from the sun than Earth. V774104 is three times farther away than Pluto is, a new record for the most distant object ever seen in the solar ...

Deep in an archive in Columbus, Ohio, there’s a slip of paper with a bunch of random-looking letters and numbers printed on it. A few of the characters are circled, and one word is handwritten in red ink: “WOW”. Those circled characters are the signs of an unusually strong signal from outer space de...

One of the most vexing questions in physics is what would really happen if you fell into a black hole? Now, a new radical theory, proposed by famous cosmologist Stephen Hawking, may finally solve this challenging puzzle. http://www.cosmosup.com/stephen-hawking-solved-black-holes-paradox...

NASA’ Former chief operating officer in Spain Carlos González Pintado says there could be life on Kepler-452b — the newly remarkable world discovered by NASA’ kepler mission — given its characteristics. Kepler-452b is located 1,400 light-years away from us and it has some intriguing features very si...

The discovery of a magnetic field oriented to the left could provide scientists with clue to explain a long-standing mystery, the dominance of matter over antimatter in the early universe. In theory, we should not exist — at leats not in the same way as the universe today — and that because of antim...

There are many unanswered questions about the universe that keep scientists awake at night, theories like the birth, evolution, symmetries and consistency of the universe remain a puzzle for physicists. Recently, a team of researchers at the US’ Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has started a...

NASA is planning to bring together Earth’s most brilliant experts from various scientific fields to search for habitable exoplanets, i.e planets beyond our solar system. The joint effort is called the NExSS program – NASA Exoplanet System Science – and hopes to provide knowledge to better understan...
