A Plasma Physicist Says Ancient Mars Was Nuked from Space. Here’s His Case.
John E. Brandenburg spent years studying plasma physics. He earned his Ph.D. and built a career in applied physics, working on projects ranging from missile defense to space propulsion. But in 2014, he published a paper that veered far from conventional planetary science and into territory most of his peers would never touch. Brandenburg proposed…
NASA’s Voyager Spacecraft Discovered a ‘Wall of Fire’ at the Edge of Our Solar System
In 1977, NASA launched two spacecraft on a mission that would outlast every prediction. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 left Earth to study the outer planets, but their journey never stopped. Decades later, Voyager 1 had traveled farther than any human-made object in history, drifting through regions of space no instrument had ever sampled. And…
A Rock From Space Just Crashed Through a Woman’s Kitchen in Texas

A brilliant green streak had ripped across the afternoon sky, followed by a trail of black smoke and a deep, rattling boom that…
Uranus May Be Filled With A Lot More Methane Than We Thought
For decades, our understanding of Uranus has been anchored by a simple and elegant classification: the “ice giant.” This distant, blue-green world, known for its extreme axial tilt that causes it to orbit the Sun on its side, was thought to be composed primarily of water, ammonia, and a trace of the methane that lends…
Uranus May Be Filled With A Lot More Methane Than We Thought
In the cold, distant reaches of our solar system lies Uranus—a planet of mysteries that has long eluded the grasp of astronomers. Known for its unusual sideways spin and icy blue-green color, Uranus is often overshadowed by its larger neighbors like Saturn and Jupiter. But there’s more to this enigmatic planet than meets the eye.…
