The Moon Landing from 1969 is by far one of humanity’s greatest expeditions and achievements. Millions of people watched live as the astronauts got themselves ready for the trip of their lifetime, and despite the fact that we didn’t actually discover life, that day we still came across as quite an achievement, to say the least. This might be why NASA took so long to actually get a second trip over there in the first place, as it simply put wasn’t worth the funding. But there are мคหy people that believe that the rabbit hole is a lot deeper than…

NASA just recorded what looks to be yet another encounter with the strange Martian cloud, thus this latest revelation comes from the Red Planet itself. As the title suggests, this massive cloud arose from Mars, precisely over the Aria Mons volcano. Many people assumed the cloud was generated by the volcano exploding, but scientists quickly disproved this theory when they discovered that the volcano hadn’t erupted in well over 50 million years. The volcano is ruled out as a probable source of this cloud since it is also made up of water ice. The Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud was named…

The Canvey Island Monster is the name given to an unusual creature whose carcass washed up on the shores of Canvey Island, Britain in November 1953. A second, more intact, carcass was discovered in August, 1954. The 1953 specimen was described as being 76cm long with thick reddish brown skin, bulging eyes and gills.

Its remains were cremated after a cursory inspection by zoologists who said that it posed no danger to the…

Ever wondered what the most special-looking shark species could be? Well, the tasseled wobbegong shark is definitely a good candidate. Sometimes referred to as carpet sharks, these animals have an extraordinary, flattened appearance, due to their characteristic, branched lobes that extend from their heads. Although these sharks were first described in 1867, they remain mysterious as we still really don’t know them. Image A tasselled wobbegong. You definitely shouldn’t step on it! SourceUPDATE: Apparently, this isn’t a wobbegong but a type of anglerfish in the Lophiidae family. You still shouldn’t step on it though!

Some 800 years ago, a young adult was buried on Peru’s central coast. Caretakers mummified the individual, wrapping their remains in cloth, placing their hands over their face and tying their limbs together with rope in accordance with funerary practices popular in the mountainous Andean region. The mummy rested underground until earlier this year, when archaeologists stumbled onto their tomb during an excavation, reports Marco Aquino for Reuters. Yomira Silvia Huamán Santillán and Pieter Van Dalen Luna, both archaeologists at the National University of San Marcos, led the dig, according to a statement. As Huamán tells CNN’s Jeevan Ravindran, the find came as a shock. “The whole…

Image credit: globallookpress The Notebook could be a very different movie with Tom Cruise in the lead and Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair.

Keanu Reeves recently revealed that “John Wick” is heavily influenced by Japanese culture, cinema, anime and Bushido, the samurai’s code. Speaking in the 334th issue of Total Film, Reeves, 58, opened up about the fourth installment of the “John Wick” franchise and the inspiration behind the strict code that assassins of that world have to follow to heart. Japanese anime and Japanese filmmaking have definitely been something I’ve loved and have been influenced by.

By Russ For those looking forward to the sequel to 2005’s Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves, Warner Bros. (WB) might have some bad news. WB shocked fans around the world when it announced in September 2022 that Reeves’ DC Comics movie would be getting a sequel after nearly 20 years. Since then, there’s been no further word on the project. However, the future of the DCU is bright. It includes a new Superman film from James Gunn, a fresh take on Batman and Robin in The Brave and the Bold, a Booster Gold series, and more. Yet, it seems that Constantine may not be a part of DC Studios’ new…

A black hole is located around one billion light-years from Earth in the galaxy RAD12. Advertisements Galaxies may be split into two primary types based on their morphology: spiral galaxies and elliptical galaxies. There is an abundance of cold gas and dust in spiral arms that seem optically blue.…

Just over 300 light-years away is a star that’s a lot like a very young version of our Sun, with multiple exoplanets orbiting it. That’s an interesting find in itself. But what makes the system truly dazzling is that it just became the first of its kind to be directly imaged, planets and all. On the night of 16 February 2020, astronomers using the Very Large Telescope in Chile were able to obtain direct observations of two enormous exoplanets on extremely large orbits around the star named TYC 8998-760-1. Directly imaging exoplanets is challenging, to say the least. They are…
