Using cameras set to monitor the moon, Daichi Fujii, curator of the Hiratsuka City Museum, recorded an event that occurred on February 23 at 20:14:30.8 Japan Standard Time (7:14 a.m. EST, or 1114 GMT). The event appears to be a meteorite impact, and it was located near Ideler L crater, slightly northwest of Pitiscus crater. Meteors travel on average at around 30,000 mph (48,280 kph), or 8.3 miles per second (13.4 km/s). Their high-velocity impacts generate intense heat and create craters, while also giving out a brilliant flash of visible light. https://youtu.be/VNjycZDCfcU Moon impacts can be seen from Earth, as…

An older universe existed before the Big Bang, and proof for its existence can still be found in black holes, according to a Nobel Prize-winning physicist.Sir Roger Penrose made the assertion after receiving the award for advances in Einstein’s general theory of relativity and proof of black hole existence. Sir Roger contends that inexplicable regions of electromagnetic radiation in the sky, known as ‘Hawking Points,’ represent vestiges of an earlier universe.It is part of the “conformal cyclic cosmology” universe hypothesis, and it is proposed that these spots constitute the final outflow of energy known as “Hawking radiation,” conveyed by black…

Do planets have intelligence? That seems to be the main idea behind a new hypothesis put forth by astrobiologists: that planets are also intelligent beings. This thought experiment is based on the idea that planets like Earth have undergone changes due to the collective activity of life, such as that of microorganisms or plants, which has given them the ability to develop a life of their own. The research, which was published in the International Journal of Astrobiology, establishes a framework for evaluating a planet’s intelligence. To think of intelligence in terms of an intergalactic body rather than sentient creatures…

Juno flew by Jupiter skimming 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) above Jupiter’s cloud tops while traveling about 129,000 mph (208,000 km/h) relative to the planet, NASA officials said. Hold my coffee, I can’t stop staring at the images. Is that even real? NASA’s Juno spacecraft is the first solar-powered space probe sent out to study our solar system’s largest planet—Jupiter. Juno’s mission is to orbit the gas giant in polar orbit and study its structure while mapping its gravity and magnetic field. Studying Jupiter will allow experts to better understand large planets discovered across the cosmos. So far—the US$1 billion spacecraft…

It is the first time that scientists have detected a signal that originates from another galaxy located 9 billion light years away from Earth. The radio signal was captured by the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope located in Pune, India. The giant radio telescope includes a field of 30 dish antennas all pointed skyward with each dish about 150 feet in diameter. Using this sophisticated telescope, scientists detected a unique radio signal with a unique wavelength known as the 21-centimeter line or the hydrogen line. This signal is emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. Unfortunately, this unique signal did not come from…

Blood Diamond star Djimon Hounsou slams Leonardo DiCaprio’s Best Actor nomination for the film, for which Hounsou was nominated in a supporting role.

Co-star DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role in the same year. Reflecting on Blood Diamond, Hounsou calls out the problematic…

Depending on the time of year, we may view various amazing sights out in space when we gaze up into the night sky. Unfortunately, the sky has seemed relatively empty during the last month. But, as it turns out, all you have to do is know WHEN to look. The planets visible to the naked eye are now on the opposite side of the planet (the sun-facing side.) Every evening of the month, you might gaze up at the sky and be greeted with a very barren sky. Worse, Venus and Mars are quite near to one another and visible…

Whether you’re totally shipping the couple or hate that this A-list model might be falling for his infamous womanizer ways, Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid could possibly be giving their spark a second chance. After being spotted together at a pre-Oscars party last week, a new source is revealing where the two allegedly stand after their breakup. “Leo and Gigi are into each other,” a source told Us Weekly. And, though that may be true, Hadid reportedly still has doubts about giving them another shot. “Gigi isn’t looking for a quick fling,” the source said. “[Hadid is] torn because she has a lot of fun with Leo. And while everyone…

The space rock has an estimated diameter of 320 meters. Hindustan Times added that the asteroid is 590 feet wide. The Jerusalem Post added that the mass of gators could weigh around 31, 050 kilograms and the odds of 2023 CM being heavier than that is high. NASA JPL estimates the asteroid will fly around 4 million kilometers away from the Earth. Although the distance is a bit close on a cosmic level, the moon is still much closer, on average 384,000 kilometers away from our planet. Fortunately, it won’t hit our planet. However, if it does, it could ruin a continent,…

A few cranes and a chunk of empty land have generated unprecedented excitement in Trujillo, a small town in western Spain. Nothing will be finished until 2024, but local residents have already been showing up just watch the construction workers. Many simply can’t believe new developments are happening here at all, in Extremadura, the heart of so-called ’empty Spain’. “How many things have we been promised during the past years that have not been fulfilled?” asks José Antonio Redondo, the mayor of Trujillo. “It has created a lot of excitement and will revitalise the town,” he tells Euronews. What today…

Tests are underway on a rocket technology that could vastly shorten the time it takes for humans to get to Mars, greatly reducing the risk of mechanical failures and other deadly space hazards on future Mars-bound astronauts. Costa Rica and U.S.-based Ad Astra Rocket Company announced over the summer that it had completed a record 88-hour high-power endurance test of its Vasimr VX-200SS plasma rocket at 80 kW. The test, conducted at the company’s Texas laboratory near Houston, constituted a new high-power world endurance record in electric propulsion. ‘Years of trial-and-error testing’ for Vasimr rocket “The test is a major…

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the leading figures on the Hollywood scene, delivering huge performances for 30 years. Among many mega-hit films, he was the star actor of Titanic (directed by James Cameron), where he formed a couple of protagonists with Kate Winslet.

We are beginning to realize how little we know about the universe as we continue to explore it. For example, the number of galaxies in the universe is still unknown, even though the consensus is that there are roughly 200,000 billion galaxies in the known universe. However, given we’ve only seen a small portion of the universe, this number might grow tremendously. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, includes at least 400 billion stars, and the number of planets orbiting those stars is unfathomable. Furthermore, the Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of 105,000 light-years and a diameter of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometres…

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid are fueling romance rumors once again. The pair, who called off their brief romance earlier this year, were spotted at Darren Dzienciol and Richie Akiva’s pre-Oscars bash Friday night, and spent most of the evening together, according to multiple reports. “There was no PDA, but they were together nearly the entire night and barely moved from their spot,” a source told People following the lavish soirée in Los Angeles. Enlarge Image Another eyewitness told Us Weekly, “Leo and Gigi were hanging out together all night. There was no PDA, but they never left each other’s side.” However, an insider tells…

According to a new study, a “anti-universe” where time goes backwards could exist alongside ours. The idea is based on the fact that nature includes fundamental symmetries, which experts believe could apply to the entire cosmos. The hypothesis was discussed in the Annals of Physics publication. It goes over a common physics concept known as Charge, Parity, and Time (CPT) symmetry. CPT symmetry is recognized as one of the laws of physics and means things like charge and time can be inverted after a transformative process. Scientists think the Big Bang, which created the universe, was definitely transformational, and so…

Let’s take a look at how many Oscars Leo DiCaprio won and how many times he was nominated for Hollywood’s biggest award Talking about Leonardo DiCaprio is talking about cinema. One of the best actors of the 21st century. A person committed to the environment and constantly fighting against climate change.

The beginnings of DiCaprio’s career DiCaprio made his first appearances in the early 1990s,…

NASA has discovered a water planet 100 million light years away from Earth that completes an orbit of its star every 11 days. A group of astronomers at the Université de Montréal came across the ocean planet through NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite or TESS, according to a study published in The Astronomical Journal. CNET reports that the planet covered by a blanket of water, named TOI-1452 b by scientists, is thought to live 100 million light years from Earth and orbits within a binary star system among the Draco constellation. Université de Montréal Professor René Doyon said in a press release: “I’m…

This past year has been the butt of many taunts and jokes but one of the most contentious and confusing ones has been about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating choices. Ranging from being associated with high-profile celebrity figures like Gigi Hadid to more subtly famous supermodels, the Titanic actor has been a raging topic on the internet for the netizens who have been anything but merciful while trolling DiCaprio. Allegedly, as the rule goes, the Shutter Island actor doesn’t date anyone above the age of 25. As can be expected, the Emmys then became a playground for a much-awaited taunt delivered directly from Kenan Thompson, the…

The Kepler mission discovered a planet orbiting the star KOI-3010 using the transit method. Researchers are drawn to this world because it has traits that are similar to those found on Earth. The red dwarf KOI-3010 is located in the constellation Lyra and is 1213 light-years away from us. This is an ancient star, with a possible age of 13.9 billion years. The planet KOI-3010.01 (or KOI-3010 b) is classified as a warm super earth (it is more than Earth on a mass, but it is much inferior to gas giants). One orbit around the star lasts around 60 Earth…

Hulu has decided not to make The Devil in the White City, a project with Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producers that has been in the works for more than a decade. Keanu Reeves was linked to the drama, but departed last October, as well as director Todd Field. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter Tuesday that actors Jude Law and Jeremy Allen White and director Matt Ross have been in discussion with ABC Signature to do the project, which the production company is prepared to shop around. It was not immediately clear if the talks with Law, White and Ross would fall through given the most…

Despite several high profile missions to find an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star, astronomers have failed to find one. Now the Chinese are launching their own space telescope to hunt for Earth 2.0. The Kepler Space Telescope made some of the most exciting discoveries in astronomy. Launched in 2009, the telescope observed 13 million stars until 2018, when it was deactivated. During that time, Kepler discovered over 2600 planets orbiting other stars. Some were entirely unlike anything in our Solar System, forcing astronomers to invent two new classes of planet. One or two of Kepler’s discoveries even orbit in…
