A galaxy with the designation MoM-z14 has recently been confirmed as the most distant galaxy ever detected.1,2 By Big Bang reckoning, we are seeing this galaxy as it was just 280 million years after the supposed Big Bang. This shocked conventional scientists, because slow, gradual, evolutionary processes should not have been able to form such a “remarkably luminous”2 galaxy in such a short time.

A team of researchers led by University of North Dakota planetary scientist Dr. Caleb Strom concluded that the two Uranian moons Ariel and Miranda (directly left and right of pale blue Uranus in the above image, respectively) once had water oceans within their interiors.1,2 They obtained their conclusions, published in the journals Icarus and The Planetary Science Journal, by studying cracks, or stress fractures, on...

Astronomers have discovered an earth-sized exoplanet, designated TOI-2431 b, that is so close to its host star that it completes a full orbit in just 5 hours and 22 minutes.1,2 Or, to put it another way, this planet’s year is less than six hours long! Astronomers designate exoplanets having orbital periods less than one Earth day long as ultra-short period (USP) exoplanets. Out of the approximately 6,000 known exoplanets, a... More...
When the New Horizons space probe captured images of Pluto and its large moon Charon as it flew by in 2015, conventional scientists were surprised by the small number of craters in Charon’s southern hemisphere.1 This suggested a relatively young surface, despite Charon’s presumed age of over four billion years. How could they account for this?
Theorists proposed that a subsurface ocean developed on... More...
Recently, a team of scientists released data collected from 800,000 galaxies at different distances from Earth, all lying within the same narrow slice of the sky. Conventional scientists believe the data from this COSMOS-Web survey, obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will enable them to see how galaxies evolved over time. Yet these data from the COSMOS-Web survey are “challenging” to naturalistic theorie... More...
