Spin planet was a spinning superheated disk of vaporized rock, called a synestia. Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds. Eventually, the planet’s gravitational field will cause the ball’s original position.…

Sonnett has her fingers crossed that the NEO Surveyor Mission will do well in an upcoming review. The situation was fictional, part of a week – long exercise that simulated an incoming asteroid were spotted with that little warning, there’s…

According To The Standard Model Of Particle Physics
by George Cronk May 20, 2020So then, why is our universe filled with matter and virtually no antimatter – and why is there a matter universe at all, since it should have annihilated itself immediately as both matter and antimatter emerged simultaneously from the ‘quantum…

Our Solar System Contains Two Major Classes Of Planets
by George Cronk December 21, 2019Here’s how NASA plans to track down alien life-in our solar system and beyond. Many astrophysicists and astronomers are convinced that it’s not a matter of if we ‘ll find life – it’s when. This puts TRAPPIST-1g in the cards…

Earth’s Magnetic Field Is Illustrated Above | World Magnetic Model Update
by George Cronk December 18, 2019In the recent past, the magnetic North Pole has moved 34 miles a year toward Russia. The magnetic field reverses its polarity every several hundred thousand years, where the magnetic north pole resides at the geographic South Pole. New work…

Astrophysical Journal Letters | Cross Section Of Neutron Star
by George Cronk December 15, 2019This particular neutron star is thought to have one of the strongest magnetic fields among the population of known pulsars: a few trillion times stronger than the magnetic field of the sun. The international research team’s results have been published…
