Milky Way's Black Hole Spewing Out Planet-Size 'Spitballs', Reveals Research

Milky Way's Black Hole Spewing Out Planet-Size 'Spitballs', Reveals Research NEW YORK:  When a star comes close to the black hole only to be ripped apart, the outward gas streamer gathers itself into planet-size objects which are then flung across the galaxy in a game of cosmic 'spitball', new research has revealed. The team from Harvard University noted that the closest of these planet-mass

Moon May Have Formed From Multiple Small Ones: Report

Moon May Have Formed From Multiple Small Ones: Report CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.:  A series of cosmic collisions may have spawned multiple moonlets that morphed into the one big moon we know today. Rather than one giant impact that knocked off part of early Earth and created the moon, a number of smaller collisions may have produced lots of mini-moons, Israeli scientists reported

Researchers design one of the strongest, lightest materials known

Researchers design one of the strongest, lightest materials known A team of researchers at MIT has designed one of the strongest lightweight materials known, by compressing and fusing flakes of graphene, a two-dimensional form of carbon. The new material, a sponge-like configuration with a density of just 5 percent, can have a strength 10 times that of steel. In its two-dimensional form,

Earth like snow patterns found on Pluto, claim researchers

Earth like snow patterns found on Pluto, claim researchers Using a model similar to what meteorologists use to forecast weather and a computer simulation of the physics of evaporating ices, scientists have found evidence of snow and ice features, known as “penitentes”, on Pluto. Until now, these had only been seen on the Earth. Penitentes are snow and ice features formed by erosion that, on
