Doesn't the existence of this spiral suggest a large mass object at the center? Much like a spiral galaxy, has anyone suggested that the object could be a black hole, in this case obviously a intermediate sized one? How about an Oort version of the fabled Kuiper object Planet 9? This article...

Shame on you for your click bait title, calling a puny G2 a "Giant" Geomagnetic Storm!

Oligarch Jeff Bezos of Amazon is evil incarnated and just a space wannabe. The other evil oligarch space cowboy Elon Musk has put people in orbit several times, launched twelve thousand internet satellites and sends resupply missions to the ISS. I think Bezos has managed to launch two...

That has to be a misprint. Did you mean 10 times the mass of Earth?

How can you run a dependable simulation of the evolution of dark matter and dark energy when you don't even know what they are?

Correction. I had to wonder looking at the headline photo. It surely doesn't look like that from the window of an airliner, which can fly even higher than 32,000 feet. And that height certainly wouldn't be "record breaking" for a school balloon project. Other sources are reporting that the...

Doesn't anybody proofread what the write anymore? The sentence that begins ""The existence of dark matter has been firmly established..." is repeated twice in the same paragraph. Also is the headline a no pun intended? Hypothetical 'dark photons' could shed light on mysterious dark matter

Maybe my math is off, but for the above statement to be true, you'd have to say that Apollo 13 did not voyage to the Moon, but didn't they have to loop around the Moon to get home? Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 ,14 ,15 , 16 and 17 all traveled to the Moon with three astronauts each - that's...

Huh?

I like the terms physicists employ to rename things so as to catch the public's attention and garner funding. My 2nd best favorite was renaming the unified field theory to the "theory of everything", but my all time favorite is referring to the Higg's Boson as the "god particle". Sheesh! Give...

While the surmised wobble is by far the most likely explanation for the varying signal, it occurs to me that using such an emanation as a carrier upon which to modulate a signal would be an excellent way for ET to broadcast a message.

No doubt some numb nut is going to seize upon these photos and claim they're proof of that idiotic conspiracy theory about "chemtrails". Just wait.

Sounds like a serious case of victim blaming in my opinion. And I think you missed my point completely, which was that the cavorting of a handful of idle rich captivates our society while the horrible loss of hundreds of innocents goes largely ignored.

It seems obscene that these five idle rich who had the time and money to indulge themselves in such a fashion are mourned so greatly, yet hundreds of desperate migrants seeking a better life perish and there is barely a mention. What is even more unforgivable is all the time, money and effort...
