Muscles deteriorate in space, including the heart muscle. Because bones and muscles must be exercised even more in space than on Earth to keep them in tip-top shape, NASA is beginning a comprehensive study called Integrated Cardiovascular that hopes to find out more about how to counteract impaired heart function, both in space and here on Earth.

Hypothesis says we have extra 1.3 billion years on Earth

A Caltech paper has stated that we can live on Earth for another 2.3 billion years, over double the current estimate. Because of this new hypothesis (if proven true) it should also mean that we have over twice the chance of finding intelligent life out there in the universe.

NASA THEMIS satellites change solar storm theory
Written By: William Atkins
Section: Science
Category: Space
2009-04-25 07:52:35
The THEMIS discovery changes how scientists think about charged solar particles (plasma) from the Sun interacting with the magnetic field (magnetosphere) of the Earth. They can now more accurately measure the amount of energy released, which causes magnetic storms and intensifies auroras.

According to French geophysicists, the Moon, during its early formation, may have been rotated 180 degrees, so that the dark side of the Moon faced the Earth. The researchers say this change probably happened when an impact changed the Moon’s rotation. Did this really happen, or was it caused by space aliens?
