Gargantuan 'superflare' from distant star may have launched one of the strongest solar storms ever seen
Scientists studying a star system in Orion witnessed one of the most powerful stellar eruptions ever seen — and it could be devastating to nearby planets.

Scientists scoping out a star system in the constellation Orion have witnessed one of the most gargantuan and powerful stellar flares ever seen.
Dubbed a "superflare," the enormous blast of stellar radiation is 10 times more massive than anything ever witnessed erupting from the sun, according to new research published in The Astrophysical Journal(opens in new tab).

Earthshine tonight: How to see May's spectacular Moon event
Lifting the veil on the Moon’s eery glow: here’s when and how to see lunar Earthlight this May.
Earthshine tonight: How to see May's spectacular Moon event
When can I see Earthshine?
Weather permitting, you can see Earthshine this evening, 23 May, after sunset (8:56pm BST in London, 8:13pm EDT in New York City).
Earthshine is visible in the mornings a few days before the new Moon, and in the evenings a few days after the new Moon. You might have already glimpsed it before sunrise on 17 May during the waning crescent phase, but if you didn’t fancy dragging yourself out of bed at that hour, we have another chance during the waxing crescent Moon phase.

'Crashed Las Vegas UFO' witness 'terrified' by 8-foot creatures in his backyard: '100% not human'
A witness to the possible crashed UFO in Las Vegas said he saw a "tall, skinny alien creature with greenish color" that was about eight to 10 feet tall.

Giant 'Gravity Hole' in the Ocean May Be the Ghost of an Ancient Sea
A vast expanse of the Indian Ocean is a staggering 100 meters lower than the global average sea level because of a major dip in Earth’s gravity. Scientists now think they know the cause

There’s a massive “hole” in the Indian Ocean, researchers say—but it’s not the kind that could drain away all that water. Instead it’s a term geologists use to describe a spot where Earth’s gravity is lower than average. And a new study may have finally revealed its origins: it appears to be caused by plumes of molten rock rising from deep beneath Africa at the edges of the sinking remnants of an ancient ocean bed

Massive ocean discovered beneath the Earth's crust
It feels like there have been staggering science stories emerging every other day recently, all of which have blown our tiny little minds.First, there was the discovery of a terrifying black hole pointing right at us, then there was a huge hole found in the sun and a missing continent found...

Did aliens prevent nuclear war? Former NASA astronaut claims they did
Story by By WALLA! TECH • Yesterday 3:52 PM
POV of an alien abduction experience.© (photo credit: Wikimedia Commons)
Are aliens the one who prevented humanity from descending into a nuclear war? That's what a former NASA astronaut claims.
Edgar Mitchell, who was part of the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, gained notoriety with the dissemination of various conspiracy theories since his return from the moon in 1971.
Mitchell, the sixth man to set foot on the moon, was interviewed back in 2016, where he admitted to being convinced of the existence of aliens and extensively spoke about claims that aliens have visited Earth.
In that conversation with the Daily Mirror, he raised the astonishing claim that aliens were responsible for preventing a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union during the peak tension of the Cold War.
Watch him talk about how aliens monitor us

During that conversation, Mitchell also discussed the White Sands missile testing facility in New Mexico.
He said, "White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons and that's what the extraterrestrials were interested in. They wanted to know about our military capabilities. My conversations with people in the military and intelligence community showed that the extraterrestrials were attempting to keep us from going to war and help us achieve peace on Earth."
White Sands Missile Range is where the first atomic bomb was detonated in 1945 and Mitchell claimed that the officers there told him that aliens were disabling missiles that flew above the site.
As you can expect, these claims did not pass unnoticed. Nigel Watson, a UFO expert, said at the time to IFL Science, "In my view, it's just another case of UFO fantasies and speculations. Trying to get at the facts is like herding cats."
Nick Pope, a former senior official in the British Defense Ministry who investigated UFOs, also addressed Mitchell's claims.
"Edgar is a very respected individual and it was an honor to meet him. However, most of the information he has is second-hand and not experienced firsthand. While he had access to government and military documents, he doesn't reveal his sources, so we can't be entirely sure about what he says."
Why are they doing this? The Canadian Defense Minister has answers
This is not the first time allegations have been made that aliens neutralize nuclear weapons and show an interest in military bases.
Bob Jacobs, a former US Air Force lieutenant, spoke to Larry King in 2008, where he claimed that during nuclear missile tests in the 1960s, a large object appeared in the sky, causing great confusion in the US military, which then instructed "never to speak of this incident again."
This claim was also echoed by Stephen Bassett, the founder of Paradigm Research Group, who has been trying for years to persuade the US government to investigate the disclosure of the "truth" about extraterrestrials and UFOs.
Watch Stephen Bassett talk about alien involvement in nuclear experiments
Bassett claimed that aliens neutralized human nuclear weapons to demonstrate how "useless" they are against their advanced technology.
When asked what motivates aliens to silence our nuclear weapons, Bassett argued that several eyewitnesses have observed aliens easily controlling our nuclear arsenal and added that it is not intended to threaten us, but merely to convey a message that these things are futile.
He stated in an interview with the Daily Star, "They keep turning off our nuclear weapons time and time again, but it doesn't mean they are evil. The eyewitnesses who have witnessed this believe that it's not an act of hostility, but rather to convey that these things are useless against them, and it only contributes to humanity killing each other. So why not get rid of it? That's their interpretation."

A recently released image from NASA's James Webb Telescope shows a question mark-shaped space object just beneath the star pair known as Herbig-Haro 46-47.
NASA, ESA, CSA
Humans may have a lot of questions about space, but does space have a lot of questions, too? NASA's recent discovery of a punctuation mark burning among the stars suggests it might. On Wednesday, a high-resolution near infrared image captured by the space agency's James Webb Space Telescope was released, providing a detailed look at a pair of actively forming stars dubbed Herbig-Haro 46-47 located 1,470 light-years form Earth in the Vela Constellation.
I tried to insert the cool picture. It wouldn’t let me.
