It has been a long research as to what and how does the Earth formed. Billions of years ago, as the planets were being formed into the chaotic universe, there were a lot of collisions which explains the formation of Asteroids between Mars and giant Jupiter. Then now, there has been findings that supports that Earth was formed due to a collision of two Planets. According to new research, what formed the planet that we live on today and also created the moon was a ‘violent, head-on collision’ between Earth and a developing planet called Theia. A ‘planetary embryo’ called Theia, thought to be around the same size as Earth or Mars, collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago with the two being effectively melded together to form a single planet, says the study. Theia is a hypothesized ancient planetary-mass object in the early Solar System. According to the hypothesis, Theia was an Earth trojan about the size of Mars, with diameter approximately 6,000 km (3,700 miles). Theia was n

As curious as it is when we were kids, we always tend to look up in the sky then wonder if there’s a life other than us? Aliens as we call them and we’ve only braced our imagination through the movies, still, questions never answered. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA keeps on looking at every angle in the universe in search for life. Then year 2015, came a great discovery… They are calling it The Exoplanets. NASA's Kepler space telescope celebrated its 1,000th exoplanet discovery earlier this month, an impressive milestone in the search for life on other worlds. Just for a quick glance on what Exoplanet is, according to Wiki, an exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun, a stellar remnant, or a brown dwarf. Nearly 2000 exoplanets have been discovered (1931 planets in 1221 planetary systems including 484 multiple planetary systems as of 6 July 2015). There are also rogue planets, which do not orbit any

Since the time I discovered that I can already think on my own, yes it is not just recently ;-), there is a lot of curiosity about ourselves as human living alone in the universe… We called the other species not from our planet as “Aliens”, well, there were documented events proving that indeed there were other lifeforms besides us!!! According to Wiki, by definition, Alien or Extraterrestrial life is life that does not originate from Earth. It is also called alien life, or, if it is a sentient and/or relatively complex individual, an "extraterrestrial" or "alien" (or, to avoid confusion with the legal sense of "alien", a "space alien"). These as yet hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to beings far more complex than humans. The possibility that viruses might exist extraterrestrially has also been proposed. "Exobiology" or "astrobiology" is the development and testing of hypotheses

Have you ever wondered how accurate our time monitoring is? It has been a millennia since the invention of clocks. According to Wiki, the clock is one of the oldest human inventions, meeting the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than the natural units: the day, the lunar month, and the year. Devices operating on several physical processes have been used thousands of years ago. A sundial shows the time by displaying the position of a shadow on a flat surface. There are a range of duration timers, a well-known example being the hourglass. Water clocks, along with the sundials, are possibly the oldest time-measuring instruments. A major advance occurred in Europe around 1300 with the invention of the escapement, which allowed construction of the first mechanical clocks, which used oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels. During the 15th century, Spring-driven clocks appeared. Then clockmaking flourished during the 15th and 16th centuries. The next development in

Remember the movie The Day After Tomorrow? When the media interviewed the Director/Producer of that movie, he claims that it should be shown immediately as it will become more of a documentary rather than a movie. The Atlanta governor has declared a state of emergency for 89 counties as a wave of “crippling ice” befalls much of The Peach State in a storm the National Weather Service warns, “may be of historic proportions.” This statewide IcePocalypseMageddon occurs a little more than a week after Georgia’s last devastating ice storm, when the National Guard was called in to aid thousands of people stranded in their homes, vehicles, and schools. The polar vortex dropped temperatures from Chicago to Mexico a few weeks prior, breaking more than 50 records and leaving Minneapolis with sub-zero temperatures for 62 straight hours. That U.S. weather patterns seem more at home in the Book of Revelation than February hasn’t made an impact on Senator Ted Cruz, who joked to attendees of

An Arctic vortex drifted into Illinois on January 6 and caused an unusual sight – steam rising from Lake Michigan. This phenomenon is known as a steam devil, and it is due to the cold front of the vortex moving over the warmer water and humidifying, causing the visible steam. According to Wiki, a steam devil is a small, weak whirlwind over water (or sometimes wet land) that has drawn fog into the vortex, thus rendering it visible. They form over large lakes and oceans during cold air outbreaks while the water is still relatively warm, and can be an important mechanism in vertically transporting moisture. Because of the very high water temperatures, smaller steam devils and steam whirls can form over geyser basins even in warm weather. Although steam devils are generally quite a rare phenomenon, hot springs in Yellowstone Park produce them on a daily basis. You could probably remember the Yellowstone Park being featured on the movie 2012. A precondition for the formation
