    Mysterious dark energy is spread evenly across the cosmos

    So we need to get out there and take more observations. Maybe the Klingons can fill us in.

    Earthquakes seem more intense after cosmic ray strikes. Scientists say this is why.

    Intense magnetic interference from solar storms messes with our planetary magnetic field and 'disturbs' our magnetic core. Who woulda thought ?

    Astronomers urged to fight 'tooth and nail' to protect dark skies

    If we turn off the street lights, look at all the energy we will conserve and all the C0-2 from the fossil fuel needed to generate it. We need to stop putting all those thousands of internet satellites in orbit as they are playing Hob with telescope observations. On a dark night, watching the...

    NASA Needs To Think Bigger

    Politics killed the NASA Vision. Pres. Kennedy said we will send men to the Moon, because we Can. The political Fire and Funding was cut shortly after. I worked for NASA and sub-contractors all the way up through the Space Shuttle. Now we are Politically competing with the Chinese to see who...

    GPS: Everything you need to know about the space-based technology keeping us on track

    As soon as the military realized the bandwidth was much greater than they needed, they began leasing side channels to surveyors. Their accuracy was +/- one Centimeter. Then they began leasing channels to boaters that were accurate to +/- 20 feet. If the boaters had a problem and had to call for...

    GPS: Everything you need to know about the space-based technology keeping us on track

    I built the first 4 'resonant Cavity tuning devices for the GPS as a part of a government project . It was originally called the Fleet Satellite Communications (Fle-Sat-Com) and was designed to be a targeting system for submarine launched nuclear missiles. The submarine would pop up its GPS...

    Artificial intelligence could help hunt for life on Mars and other alien worlds

    Assuming ancient Mars had oceans and an atmosphere, life could have started there only to be wiped out when a large asteroid impact striped away the atmosphere and flung chunks bearing DNA snippets and Building Blocks on an intercept course with Earth. Are We From MARS ? There is a Possibility.

    Meteorites could have brought all 5 genetic 'letters' of DNA to early Earth

    It came from another older planet that had been turned into asteroids in the early solar system. From Mars? Possibly. Where did Theia come from?

    The mystery of how Mars meteorites reach Earth may finally be solved

    That large canyon on Mars appears to be gouged out from a glancing blow from a large asteroid. An impact of that size could have easily stripped the atmosphere from the planet and thrown untold tons of surface material into space.

    Meteorites and volcanoes may have helped jump-start life on Earth

    Intense gamma radiation from Earth's Natural Uranium and its Decay products would have supplied enough energy to cause ionic bonding and molecule fusion billions of years ago.

    Meteorites and volcanoes may have helped jump-start life on Earth

    Cosmic radiation before the atmosphere got very thick, Naturally occurring radiation from the Uranium and the decay daughter products, on this Highly Radioactive Planet. Or it was just a left over bit of food from an aliens picnic basket.
