Simulacrum in Eagle Nebula

One of the strangest photos that has ever been takenof space is that of the Eagle Nebula. The photo itself issupposed to show the birth of a star from the gaseousclouds.

When the color of the photo was adjusted, a largehuman form seemed to appear within the cloud.

Scientist have not been able to explain thisphenomena



Dark Matter

Albert Einstein’s equation E = MC^2 is perhaps the bestknown equation of the century. However when appliedto space, an anomaly occurs.

When use it to determine how much matter theuniverse should have, we realize that we have only found four percent of the matter in the universe.

Many believe it is in the form of dark matter.

matter



Where is this dark matter?

It’s everywhere, wherever there is no visible

matter. Scientists have yet to show any conclusiveproof that dark matter does in fact exist. The factthat you can’t see it, touch it, and light and radio waves pass right through it undeterred makes it

extremely hard to detect.



Dark Energy

By the law of gravity, large objects, like galaxy clusters,should attract each other, and their gravitational pullshould pull in other objects. This however, is not thecase, and the fact is most galaxy clusters are movingfarther apart. This is due to the fact that the universe isexpanding at an incredible rate



. To answer the question of why this is, scientistsdeveloped the theory of Dark Energy, which has theopposite effect as gravity, pushing things apart.

Mathematical calculations have shown that if it exists,it makes up 74% of our universe, outweighing gravity,and this is why the universe is stretching out. However we still have no conclusive proof, so it remains amystery to us.



Life on moon Mars has always been thought to harbor life by many

conspiracy theorists, saying that NASA is covering itup.

Many photos have also called into question civilizationon Mars, such as the face on Mars, Pyramids on Mars,and photo of what appears to be an ape like figuresitting on a rock on Mars.



Sounds from Outer Space

Sound waves were detected by Cassini’s radio wave andplasma science instrument (RPWS) on December 8,2000, at a distance of about 23 million kilometers (14million miles) from Jupiter.

The eerie sounds that were picked up are likely to havederived from an interaction of the magnetic field thatsurrounds Jupiter and the solar wind of particlesspeeding away from the Sun.



There is speculation that the sounds could bethose of exploding stars but this is highly

unlikely as dark matter is too dense for sound waves to travel through.



The mystery of sailing stones In an area known as the “Racetrack playa” in Death

Valley near the western border of Arizona, there are anamazingly large number of stones, ranging in size frommere pebbles to half ton boulders that regularly travelby themselves and no one has ever been able to explain why!



These huge stones move of their own volition, leavingmiles of zig-zagged, curved and straight tracks.

the two geologists wrote that “the wind is able to pick up the rocks and start them moving. They push asidethe very slippery mud and slide along on the firmsurface.”

According to them surface water would freezeovernight, creating a slippery surface upon which therocks were propelled



The red rains…

It was July of 2001 in the Indian state of Kerala, whenrains came instead of clear and clean water, it was adownpour of blood red water.

Red rain had happened before, not just here but inother surrounding countries as well. Researchers notedsimilar red rainfalls in 1818, 1846, 1872, 1880, 1896, and1950, including one described by Charles Darwin.

Chemical analysis showed that the red rainwatercontained carbon, silicon, calcium and magnesium.This gave scientists a clue, and they looked westward.



A great cloud of dust, kicked up by high winds over theRub' al Khali desert in Saudi Arabia, had been carriedeast across the Arabian Sea. The dust particles seeded

great rainstorms above Kerala's steaming jungles, andthus the rain came down tinted red, and full of desertminerals.



By examining the patterns of the rainfall reports, Louis

and Kumar calculated that their hypothetical comethad left an elliptical debris field 450 km by 150 km,consisting of fine red particles that then drifted downinto the rain clouds.

Panspermia is what we call organic material movingfrom one world to another, usually through comet ormeteor action. In fact, this is one of the theories forhow life may have originated on Earth.



Super Earth Since the turn of the century hundreds of new solar

planets have been discovered orbiting distant stars,much like our own sun. Some of these planets are

described as Earth-like, such as Gliese 581d, a planetbelieved to have liquid water on its surface.

Because of its mass, which is 7 and 14 times that of Earth’s, it has been categorised as a Super Earth. In late April 2009, new observations by the original discovery team concluded that the planet is within the habitablezone and therefore life could exist.



Another theory though says Gliese 581 d is probably too massive to be made only of rocky material, but it isspeculated that it is an icy planet that is migrating

closer to a dying star making it of no benefit tohumans.



White holes One of Albert Einstein’s greatest accomplishments was

the proving, though mathematics, the existence of black holes.

Einstein also proved through his equations; whiteholes also exist. The exact opposite of black holes,

white holes are believed to “spit out” an incredibleamount of matter from seemingly nothing. Such anobject should be easy to find, yet none have been.



Bouncing water drop According to science, this happens because there is a

very thin layer of air between the droplet and thesurface of the water which gets pushed out as the weight of the droplet pushes downward.

When the air between the droplet and the surface getssqueezed away, the water droplet pops and the

resulting wave on the water pushes the droplet upwardscausing it to bounce. This happens several times untilthe water droplet is small enough to be absorbed by the water
