ARE WE REALLY ALONE? 5 DISCOVERIES THAT SHOWS WHAT LIES OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSE

Is it possible that there is something beyond this universe? Is there a bigger universe outside of our universe? Is there really an outside to our observable patch of the universe?  According to NASA Administrator, Bill Nelson, “personally I don’t think we are alone. The universe is so big, it’s 13 and a half billion years ago is when the universe started. That’s pretty big”.  What then lies beyond this universe? Obviously, mankind is quite anxious to know, and overtime, scientists have studied the universe and its nature and have come up with 5 theories that tends to explain what lies beyond this universe.  First of all, what exactly is the universe? What are the things that makes up this very universe, in other words, the observable universe? As I pointed earlier, our universe is said to be over 13 billion years old. The simple implication of this is that somethings have been completely unobservable to us since the inception of our universe until they have enough time to travel to us

ASTRONOMERS JUST DISCOVERED A PLANET MADE OF WATER

According to NASA, water could be the key to finding life. There aren’t many qualities that are true of all life on Earth, but the need for water is one of them. Life is possible on Earth because of water. It’s in all living things, whether they live at the bottom of the ocean or the driest desert. As a result of this, scientists who search for life on other planets think our best bet for finding life is to search for water. And recently, astronomers may have identified a potential planet covered in water! So what is this exoplanet? How were astronomers able to discover it? And most importantly, is it possible there is life on this water planet? The name is Planet TOI-1452 b. It was identified by a team of researchers from the University of Montreal using TESS and the Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (OMM) observatory, as a ‘super-Earth’ class of planets. The planet is orbiting a binary system of red dwarfs, the end of the line for one of the smallest classes of stars. The pla
