Astronomers recently detected an enormous but short-lived increase in radiation from the nearby star Proxima Centauri.1,2 This radiation burst, known as a flare, caused the star to become a thousand times brighter for ten seconds. Our sun also has flares, but those flares are much smaller. At the time of its peak brightness, the Proxima Centauri flare was ten times brighter (in the measured wavelengths) than even the largest flares emi… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Dr. Danny R. Faulkner Many recent creationists appear to oppose the Hubble relation, the expansion of the universe, and/or cosmological redshifts of quasars. The rejection of these topics by many creationists appears to be motivated by fear of possible evolutionary implications. …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Ken Ham It seems that every other month there’s another article about a new moon-formation hypothesis. This month it’s that “the moon may have formed in a vaporised, doughnut-shaped Earth.” This new model suggests that 4.5 billion years ago something collided with earth, causing it to mushroom out into a “seething, spinning cloud of vaporised rock that resembled a squished jelly doughnut.” Then, within earth’s “puffy edges,” our moon formed. This new model comes from computer simulations of the supposed early earth. These simulations showed a post-collision, shape-shifting early earth, which was a “previously unrecognised planetary structure.” The researcher

Big Bang scientists are wrestling with “serious” contradictory estimates for the size of the Hubble constant—one of the most important numbers in cosmology.1,2 The Hubble constant, indicated by the symbol H0, is important because it’s thought to give the current expansion rate of the universe. It indicates the speed at which galaxies are apparently receding from one another. This apparent … More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Jeanette Littleton The $3.26 billion Cassini-Huygens mission, launched in 1997, was a resounding success. It vastly improved our understanding of Saturn. The space probe Cassini’s most amazing discovery didn’t make the headlines: the clear testimony to Saturn’s young age and the fact that it had a Creator. …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Dr. Stefan Parfitt A novel satellite is scheduled to investigate the feasibility of using “solar wind” as a source of propulsion for spacecraft and satellites by using solar sails. If successful, solar sails may eventually prove suitable for propelling long, unmanned space exploration and possibly manned, interplanetary operations. …read more Source: AIG Daily

Does astronomy disprove the Bible like many scoffers claim? Actually, history confirms that the Bible is always right when it touches on any subject—including astronomy. Learn how the Bible got astronomy right when it addresses the roundness of Earth, its suspension in space, the expansion of the heavens, and more!

Data obtained by an instrument aboard the Cassini space probe have convinced planetary scientists that Saturn’s rings can be no more than a few hundred million years old.1 These new data confirmed some researchers’ previous suspicions. For instance, a previous ICR news article described how numerous planetary features within our solar system—including Saturn’s brilliant rings—look “young,” even to secular scientists.2 One of these features is the cleanness of Saturn’s rings. Secular scientists claim that the solar system is around 4.5 billion years old, so if Saturn’s rings were indeed that old, then they should have experienced billions of years’

Most evolutionary astronomers talk about the Oort cloud like it’s a fact. Yet they admit no direct observational evidence exists. Shop Now When I was growing up, the definition of science was simple: “the study of the natural world using the five senses.” This definition placed some limits upon science. For instance, science was restricted to the study of the natural world, so anything supernatural was out of bounds to science. Supernatural things include miracles, angels, souls, and God. Even if something is part of the natural world, it wasn’t considered scientific unless we could detect it with our

On October 16, 2017, two press conferences generated much interest when they announced the detection of two neutron stars merging. What particularly caught the public’s attention was the claim that this event produced perhaps 10 times the earth’s mass in gold. How much of this story is established fact and what parts are conjectures? And what does this mean? Let me sort through this. Read More: Spinning Stardust into Gold | Answers in Genesis
