The question of whether we are alone in the Universe has been occupying humanity ever since we began to more or less realize the concept of the structure of the world. We raised our eyes and looked at the stars, at this sea of endless cosmic mysteries and wondered if anyone was looking at us from the distant depths of space. Is

Supporters of the existence of alien life forms put forward a large number of arguments in defense of this theory, but, despite their abundance, humanity still does not even have indirect evidence of these statements

One of the most interesting topics in modern science fiction is the concept of using black holes as portals to another universe, time or dimension. Many astrophysicists argue that under current conditions this is simply impossible

Very little time will pass and space flights may well become commonplace. What surprises may lie in wait for a space tourist, and what should you find out about now?

The idea of traveling to space seems appealing. Many of us dreamed of becoming astronauts - or even the first people on Mars, some in childhood, and some still. Who wouldn't want to reach for the stars?

To be an astronaut - means getting a likely chance to walk in space, control robotic arms and take part in some scientific events

Astrophysicist Zaza Osmanov from the Georgian Free University of Tbilisi explained why we have not yet encountered a single alien spacecraft.The Georgian scientist claims that humanity has not yet found traces of alien civilizations, since they use more complex designs in the form of nanostructured probes instead of the expected spaceships

In the sci-fi cinematic universe Star Trek, warp-powered spacecraft can travel 299,792 kilometers in a vacuum in one second.However, a new short video by astrophysicist James O'Donoghue, who was formerly an employee of NASA and now works at the National Space Agency of Japan, tells what would become of a spacecraft like the Enterprise if it went from the Sun to Pluto in reality

Mathematician Louis Crane from Kansas State University (USA) concluded that aliens can use spaceships that get energy from Hawking radiation. The preprint of the article was published in the arXiv repository

Sooner or later, humanity will have to leave Earth and go in search of a new home - a planet with similar living conditions - to build a new civilization there

Chris Hadfield, Colonel of the Canadian Air Force and astronaut of the Canadian Space Agency, who has completed three space flights (two on the Space Shuttle program and one on long-term expeditions to the ISS) is known to the general public for his cover of

Breakthrough Starshot members have compiled a list of challenges they will have to solve in order to create a solar sail of the right size to fly to Alpha Centauri in 20 years

In the summer of 1822, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Munich Franz Paula von Gruytuisen (1774-1852) announced the discovery of the ruins of the "city" near the Schroeter crater

Want to see 16 sunrises in one day? Swim in zero gravity? To be one of the few who looked at our home planet from space?

Chemical-fueled rockets are capable of delivering people to the Moon, Mars, Venus. But in order to explore other planets of the solar system and go beyond it, ships are needed on nuclear or thermonuclear fuel - explosions

There is a strange curse on Mars that has led to the loss of most of the spacecraft sent there since the 1960s. We invite you to recall the main failures of the Martian programs

Those were the times, it is impossible to imagine! And the point is not even who it was: the USSR or the USA. People launched satellites one by one. In 10 years, the USSR alone launched eight satellites to Venus alone! T

The National Aerospace Agency of the United States of America announced a press conference during which sensational news on extraterrestrial life is expected to be announced

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has confirmed the discovery of a planet (exoplanet) outside the solar system, on which water, and therefore life, is possible

A couple of days ago, NASA called a press conference at which it announced it was making the International Space Station completely open to business. Previously, commercial organizations were allowed to use the ISS exclusively for scientific purposes, for example, for various research experiments

On December 30, 2017, a new video appeared on the paranormal YouTube channel Paranormal Crucible with the next discovery of virtual archaeologists studying photographs from Mars and finding unusual objects on them

The search for radio signals from extraterrestrial civilizations has expanded to 20,000 stellar systems and will now include systems that were previously considered unsuitable targets for the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, American researchers told yesterday

As we step by step closer to the flight to Mars, we can say with increasing confidence that this expedition can be an absolute victory for women around the world

Scientists have calculated what it takes to travel 630 years. At the beginning of the XXI century, man's aspirations into space again became one of the most discussed topics

American scientists have found out by what signs a potentially habitable exoplanet can be found. The researchers propose to judge the suitability of a space object for life by the chemical composition of its atmosphere and climatic conditions

An international team of scientists found that prolonged exposure to microgravity affects brain function, and the recovery period can last about a year. This was announced in a press release on EurekAlert

The first flight of a Russian cosmonaut to the Moon will most likely be carried out using the American Orion spacecraft. This will happen approximately in 2024

According to a new study by a group of scientists from the University of Michigan (USA), during space flights, the human brain changes its shape

Cosmic radiation and lack of gravity - serious factors hindering life in space. It is because of them that conception in space is seen by scientists as rather difficult. Conception in space? But why?

It's been a long time since someone tried to land on Venus, one of the most unfriendly planets in the solar system

In a series of endless wars and an arms race, people often forget about the threat that exists in space and can destroy any planet in the universe. Asteroids, comets, black holes, the convergence of galaxies and the destruction of near-planetary stars are also dangerous for the Earth
