Rogue Alien Planet Found With No Star!
Astronomers have discovered a potential "rogue" alien planet wandering alone just 100 light-years from Earth, suggesting that such starless worlds may be extremely common across the galaxy.
The free-floating object, called CFBDSIR2149, is likely a gas giant planet four to seven times more massive than Jupiter, scientists say in a new study unveiled today (Nov. 14). The planet cruises unbound through space relatively close to Earth (in astronomical terms; the Milky Way galaxy is 100,000 light-years wide), perhaps after being booted from its own solar system.
"If this little object is a planet that has been ejected from its native system, it conjures up the striking image of orphaned worlds, drifting in the emptiness of space," study leader Philippe Delorme, of the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble in France, said in a statement.

HIGHLY Strange Fireball Breaks Apart Over Japan - 4 Cameras - Aug 19, 2012
HIGHLY Strange Fireball Breaks Apart Over Japan - 4 Cameras - Aug 19, 2012.
Is this fireball a part of the Perseid meteor shower or is it something unnatural, extraterrestrial, as a meteor enter the atmosphere way faster than that and are a instant streak of light because of immense speed and this one is different!
As always you decide..

Spectacular first color images from Curiosity Mars - Aug 7, 2012
Curiosity Spotted on Parachute by Orbiter.
NASA's Curiosity rover and its parachute were spotted by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter as Curiosity descended to the surface on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6 EDT).
This view is one product from an observation made by HiRISE targeted to the expected location of Curiosity about one minute prior to landing. It was captured in HiRISE CCD RED1.
Curiosity's first color image of Mars has just been beamed back to Earth--and it's a little dusty. This murky view of the landscape to the north of the rover was captured by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on the afternoon of the first day after landing:
The image shows the north wall and rim of Gale Crater. The view is murky because MAHLI's removable dust cover is apparently coated with dust blown onto the camera during the rover's terminal descent. Another camera, the Descent Imager, photographed the roughly circular swirls of dust kicked up from the Martian surface by the rocket motor exhaust.
The MAHLI camera is located on the turret at the end of Curiosity's robotic arm.
The camera's main purpose is to acquire close-up, high-resolution views of rocks and soil at the rover's Gale Crater field site. MAHLI is capable of focusing on any target at distances of about 0.8 inch (2.1 centimeters) to infinity. This means it can take not only close-up pictures of rocks but also big-picture images of the landscape as shown above.
In a week or so, MAHLI's dust cover will come off and the view will improve.
More first images at: NASA Image Gallery
Get a behind the scenes look a the tension, anticipation and exhilaration experienced by scientists and engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. during the Curiosity rover's harrowing descent through the Martian atmosphere, known as "Seven Minutes of Terror."

Huge Asteroid found on Google Sky

According the author:"This object was not in this location a couple months ago".
Though, the image on Google Sky is from 2007. Nevertheless it looks like a huge and real Asteroid.
The images are pretty clear. Coordinates 5h 11m 33.74s -12 50' 30.09"

Amazing close-up shots of the Moon and a UFO? - May 2012
Amazing close-up shots of the Moon and a UFO?
The first video shows a beautiful Moon and an unknown object. According the author of the video it's not a bird or insect because when this object was closer to the camera it would be out of focus.
The second video shows amazing close-up shots with much details of the Moon.

Huge Sunspot Cometh, M-Class Flares - May 6, 2012
A New active Active Region (11476) has rotated the north-eastern limb of the solar corona and is crackling with C-Class and M-Class flares. So far three M-Class flares have been recorded in the last 12 hours. M1.4 at 13:29, M1.3 at 24:04 and an M1.2 at 01:30 this morning.
Three Coronal Mass Ejections (CME's) have been observed May 5th heading towards the earth from the southwest limb, the first CME has a slight Earth-directed component, and is expected to brush the earths magnetic field late May 7th,

Massive Unknown Object In Suns Orbit - April 2012
Massive object recorded by Cor 2 (white-Light) (SECCHI) Stereo 'A' satellite. Recorded 2 April 2012.
This object is at least three times the size of Earth, and seems to be in a fixed orbit around the sun. Able, not only to withstand the tremendous temperature emanating from the suns surface, but also its massive gravitational pull.
At certain points also, you can clearly see the Suns plasma rays bounce over the spherical anomaly, this proves the object is not a glitch but is in fact a real object, only question is what is it.
This is not the first time that this object appears. First observation, last year in June.
We have just been ignoring that object as if it were an anomaly on the lens and some scratch on the telescope filter but look very close and you will see that it IS an object sitting close to our sun and what is up with that one spot were it is pulsating and emitting all types of different objects?
I have never seen it so intense and it seems to be escalating. It is my opinion that the public is being kept in the dark as to what is REALLY going on...

Black Hole devours a Star (video)
A giant black hole has been caught with its hand in the proverbial cookie jar, in the earliest stages of ripping apart and consuming a star.
On 28 March, NASA's Swift telescope detected several bright bursts of X-rays coming from a patch of the sky where no X-rays had been detected before.
Now two teams, one led by David Burrows of Pennsylvania State University in University Park and the other by Ashley Zauderer of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, say the bursts were probably chunks of a star that was dismembered when it wandered too close to a black hole located 4.5 billion light years away.
Since the star was orbiting the black hole before it was ripped apart, its remains continue to swirl around the hole, which weighs a million suns, as they gradually get swallowed up. This "chewing" had been predicted theoretically and has possibly been seen around other black holes in the past.
The new observations now show that some of the star's remains were spewed out in a jet at 99.5 per cent the speed of light. Swift just happened to be lying directly in the jet's path, so it was able to make the first ever measurements of such a jet switching on.
The jet is narrow, says Burrows: "If it happens to be pointed at you, you see it, but if not, you miss it." Tracking how long the jet persists could reveal the stellar victim's mass and its original orbital distance, he adds.
"We think we're still seeing emission from the jet," Burrows says. "It probably takes at least months for the star to finish getting swallowed up in the black hole."
