Astronomers who have been searching for extraterrestrial intelligence for decades are suddenly saying such an encounter might not be a happy one.
A study that evaluates sci-fi scenarios for extraterrestrial encounters, published in the journal Acta Astronautica, said that E.T. could decide whether we're a threat to intergalactic order and may try to kill us. At the heart of these scenarios is the possibility that intrinsic value may be more efficiently produced in our absence, the researchers wrote.
Scientists have found a way to spot active regions of the sun, a full day or two before they erupt as sunspots, by listening to sound waves from deep inside the sun. This prediction could possibly lead to better forecasts of dangerous solar storms, a new study said.
A report rolled out by one of NASA’s scientists has suggested that the Earth's rising levels of greenhouse gases could provoke an alien attack.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a live 3D video of inside International Space Station (ISS) for the first time in the history of space travel.
Listening to the sounds the sun can help in predicting sunspots that are in their early stages of development and can give at least two days of warning — possibly enough time for a safety plan to be executed, researchers at Stanford University found.
Stanford researchers developed a method that allows them to peer deep into the sun's interior, using acoustic waves to catch early stage sunspots and give prompt warnings. If disruptions such as solar flares and mass eruptions could be predicted, measures could be taken to protect vulnerable electronics before solar storms strike.
Researchers have seen for the first time the inner workings of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, from its leaving the surface of the sun to its engulfing the Earth.
New data processing techniques, coupled with a pair NASA spacecraft has allowed scientists to see the awesome power of the sun in dramatic detail as it recorded a massive solar storm engulfing Earth.
Plans have just been unveiled in Moscow for the first ever space hotel that will we be perched 217 miles above the Earth.
After Sir Richard Branson made the dream of commercial space tours a reality through his Virgin Galactic firm, a Russian firm in a similar vein is planning to launch the world's first space hotel.
Even as scientists are working on improving solar storm predictions, a NASA spacecraft with the latest data processing techniques has tracked a solar storm engulfing the planet for the first time.
It may sound like a plot of a sci-fi movie, but aliens might attack Earth to destroy humanity for the greater good of the rest of the Milky Way galaxy.
NASA released new videos of a solar storm engulfing our planet, captured by a spacecraft far from Earth. The footage of the storm released on Thursday, was recorded in December 2008 and scientists have been working on it ever since. It's the first time such footage has been captured and solar physicists say it could lead to important advances in space weather forecasting.
NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office has issued an alert for Cleveland area residents to look out for meteorites.
A spacecraft far from Earth turned and watched a solar storm engulfed the planet for the first time, and NASA released a movie on the act, which solar physicists say could lead to important advances in space weather forecasting.
The universe is a truly amazing, beautiful place, and Hubble has captured images that are almost too spectacular to comprehend.
New data processing techniques, coupled with NASA spacecraft, has for the first time allowed scientists to see the awesome power of the sun as it recorded a massive solar storm engulf the planet.
Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory say the vast cloud of glowing gas from the earliest days of the universe must be powered by galaxies embedded within it.
Russian firm Orbital Technologies has unveiled its plans for constructing the first-ever space hotels for travelers and researchers which would orbit around 217 miles above ground.
As NASA closed one epic chapter of launching space shuttles in July it has opened another by devising an educational rap video that maps out the NASA mission.
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Don Quijote Mission plans to launch two spacecraft that will fire into a test asteroid to study the possibility of diverting an impact to earth.
