If the Sun Turned Into a Black Hole, Earth Would Still Orbit It — Here’s the Mind-Bending Reason Why
When most people hear the words “black hole”, they imagine a cosmic monster: a gravitational vacuum cleaner devouring everything in its path. So at first glance, the idea that Earth could calmly keep orbiting the Sun if it suddenly collapsed into a black hole sounds impossible — almost like a trick question from an astronomy class.

AGARTHA: And the Legend of a Hidden Civilization Beneath Our Feet
For more than a century, the idea of a hidden world beneath our feet has hovered at the edge of historical curiosity. The name Agartha appears like an old memory across cultures, resurfacing in Tibetan texts, resurfacing in European esoteric traditions, resurfacing in twentieth-century military archives, and resurfacing again in modern testimonies from explorers who claim encounters far beyond what conventional archaeology allows.

Runaway Stars: The Cosmic Sprinters Racing Out of the Milky Way at 2,000 km/s
When we look up at the night sky, the stars seem eternal and unmoving. We imagine them as quiet beacons, frozen in place. But in reality, every one of them is hurtling through space at incredible speeds. Most stars drift along at a calm and predictable pace—maybe a few dozen or a few hundred kilometers per second. Fast by human standards, but nothing extraordinary by galactic ones.

Are There “Cosmic Spheres” of Antimatter?
Possible Relics of Ancient Universal Processes Antimatter is one of the most fascinating substances in the universe. It flashes into existence in violent cosmic events, vanishes the moment it touches ordinary matter, and leaves behind nothing but pure energy. Scientists chase its traces using the world’s most sensitive instruments. But a bold idea has been circulating in astrophysics: what if the universe still hides large objects made of antimatter—stable structures formed in the earliest moments after the Big Bang?

The Space Garden on the ISS: How Astronauts Grow Lettuce and Microgreens in Orbit
When most people imagine life aboard the International Space Station (ISS), they picture floating astronauts, futuristic experiments, and breathtaking views of Earth rising over the curve of the planet. What they don’t usually picture is a garden. Yet hundreds of miles above us, orbiting at nearly 28,000 kilometers per hour, astronauts tend to a small but remarkable “space greenhouse” where they grow fresh lettuce and nutrient-packed microgreens.

Japan’s Wooden Satellites: How Engineers Are Reinventing Space Technology With Timber
When you picture a satellite orbiting Earth, you probably imagine something metallic and high-tech—aluminum panels, titanium frames, maybe a few carbon-fiber components. The very last material you’d expect to see floating 400 kilometers above Earth is… wood.

Worlds With Three Suns: The Strange and Stunning Reality of Triple-Star Planets
Most of us grow up imagining a solar system as something simple and orderly: a single star with a neat family of planets circling around it. Our own Sun reinforces that picture. But the universe rarely sticks to simple patterns. Among the billions of stars in the Milky Way, there exist far more complex arrangements — including triple-star systems. And what’s even more astonishing is that some of these systems are home to planets that orbit all three stars at once.

NASA’s Psyche Mission Is Headed Toward a Metal World Worth $10,000 Quadrillion
In October 2023, NASA launched one of its most intriguing deep-space missions yet — Psyche, a robotic explorer on a years-long journey to a mysterious metallic asteroid unlike anything humanity has ever visited. This strange object, named 16 Psyche, isn’t valuable because it hides alien technology or secret energy sources, but because it appears to be made largely of metal. Not just any metal — we’re talking about iron, nickel, and potentially precious metals that, on Earth, form the backbone of modern industry.

Before Adam: Investigating Ancient Clues of a Possible Pre-Human Predator Lineage
From time to time, the oldest layers of human memory reveal things that do not sit comfortably inside our modern frameworks. They appear in fragments, preserved in myths that survived by accident rather than intent, or inside religious texts written long before science attempted to explain the world. What emerges from these fragments is a recurring idea that challenges not only theology and anthropology but the very assumption that humans were the first conscious species to shape life on this planet. There are stories, preserved with surprising consistency, of beings that did not resemble us, did not think as we do, and did not share the same place in the natural order. They belong to a time before recognized civilization, before the agricultural world, before Adam in a theological sense, and before Homo sapiens in a cultural sense.

When the Universe was one second Old: The Birth of the First Hydrogen Atoms
Imagine a cosmic stopwatch starting at the very instant the Universe burst into existence. It clicks once—one second has passed. Just a single heartbeat. That moment is so short that most of us wouldn’t even notice it. But on the scale of the cosmos, one second after the Big Bang marks a profound turning point. It’s the moment when the foundations of all future matter—including stars, planets, and eventually us—began to solidify.

Phoenix A: The Brightest Known Galaxy — A Cosmic Beacon Shining Trillions of Suns
In the vast, silent darkness of the universe, brilliance is rare. Stars flicker, nebulae glow, quasars blaze — yet only a handful of cosmic giants truly challenge our imagination. Among them stands Phoenix A, the brightest galaxy humans have ever discovered. Its light outshines the Sun not by millions or billions, but by trillions of times. It is a cosmic lighthouse whose glow reaches across billions of years of space and time.
