Astrobiologist Duncan Forgan from the University of St. Andrews, which is located in Scotland, believes that among the asteroids in our solar system a huge spaceship with the inhabitants of a dead planet unknown to us may be hiding

Swan A is one of the most powerful radio sources known. It is an elliptical galaxy 800 million years away from us. In the late 1980s, it was repeatedly observed by the VLA radio telescope complex

Until now, the likelihood of the Martian origin of the Tunguska meteorite has been swept away due to the presence of quartz in its alleged fragments. New study highlights traces of quartz have been found on Mars in recent years
