So, @essentialsaltes posted a few months ago how the Voyager 1 probe had a computer issue. Now, that issue has been fixed. Seems that the old probe just wants to keep on trucking. And yes, the 22 hours 30 minutes it takes for a signal to reach Voyager 1 are converted into days (0.94 days) for...

I have done independent research into signs of our Lord in the Cosmos... and I assure you, it is full of Him! There are no competitors to our God. If you want to believe in cosmic signs, they will be very clear and easy to interpret. They are based, if you are receptive to the good meanings...

Sure the distances between stars are immense with the nearest one 4.3 light years away, a distance we can't even imagine. What is interesting though is that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is about 100,000 light years in diameter. We're about 1/4 out from its center. The Earth rotates, it revolves...

We look at another galaxy and see clouds of stars yet each of those stars are probably light years apart from each other. 1 light year is 63,000 times the distance between the sun and the Earth. Why are things so spaced out? It does seem kind of crazy, right? :) Yet we know there are...

It seems to me that "hope springs eternal", particularly at the start of a new year, and a new decade, in a relatively new century. My personal love of astronomy began as a young child who grew up in the 1960's and followed the Gemini and Apollo missions with keen interest. Watching us landing...

It seems to me that the results from LHC haven't been particularly kind to various DM theories, SUSY theory, and WIMP theory in particular. I remember discussing this topic a decade or so ago when astronomers were very much looking forward to the opportunity to verify DM at LHC, and...

Dark Energy Gets Weirder: Mysterious Force May Vary Over Time For the second time in as many decades, the LCDM interpretation of photon redshift as being related to (caused by) expansion has failed a second major test of that concept. The original big bang model predicted that the universe...

Astronomy and Astrophysics News, photos, articles. It could be fun to have a post/thread for the many believers (and seekers too) that like to see interesting Astronomy and Astrophysics and Cosmology News and articles. Meaning stuff that is interesting news from observations, and photos/images...

Time Dilation The fascinating thing about traveling at close to the speed of light is time dilation-the experiencing of time at a slower rate for those on board than for those remaining back on Earth. For example let’s consider the ratio of Earth time to ship time if we travel at 99% light...

Neil deGrasse Tyson Warns Science Denial Could 'Dismantle' Democracy I find this particular quote to be rather ironic considering the source. I've simply lost count how many times "dark matter" theories (plural) have been blown out the water over the last decade. Apparently Tyson only engages...

Thunderbolts Forum • View topic - Lambda-CDM - EU/PC Theory - Confirmation Bias When we look at the lab results and observations from space over the past decade, they really haven't been kind to 'dark matter' claims. Not only did LHC falsify pretty much every popular quantified exotic matter...

Which of these three facts do you find the most amazing? 1. Neutron stars are so dense that a can of soup full of neutron star material would have more mass than the Moon and despite of this they can spin up to 500 times per second! 2. The Sun's core releases the the equivalent of 100 billion...

The video isn't intended as an effort to convert atheists. It is meant as a way to encourage fellow Christians and other theists. It involves how the Big Bang does not in any way contradict the concept of an intelligent designer of the universe. All members including atheists are free to discuss...

How soon can we expect this asteroid mining to begin? Which asteroids are good candidates? What difficulties do we have to surmount? What metals are the prime targets?

Fine tuning of the universe is a very controversial issue. Here is a thread for those who wish to discuss the pros and the cons concerning this subject.
