Independent, third‑party measurements and physical samples provide the clearest scientific proof that Apollo landed humans on the Moon: Apollo returned about 382 kg (842 lb) of lunar rock and soil tha...
Mars hosts the largest known volcano in the Solar System: Olympus Mons, a shield volcano about 21–22 km high and roughly 370–700 km across, covering some 300,000 km² — far larger than any terrestrial ...
Moon‑landing hoax proponents point mainly to two visual puzzles in Apollo photos and film: the U.S. flag appears to “wave” as it’s planted, and shadows in still images fall non‑parallel or show bright...
NASA’s mission dosimeters and later analyses show Apollo astronauts received small cumulative doses on the order of tenths of a rad (0.18–0.46 rad commonly reported), roughly comparable to a couple of...
There is broad agreement in available reporting that Apollo 11’s flag was planted, briefly appeared to “wave” in TV footage because of handling, and very likely did not remain upright after the lunar ...
There is consistent, though not exhaustive, public documentation from engineers and domain experts saying GPS and satellite systems depend on a spherical Earth and would not work on a flat-Earth model...
The short answer: no — the Moon is not made of cheese; it is a rocky body whose composition has been measured directly by sample-return missions and remotely by spacecraft and telescopes (available so...
Jupiter is not the only gas giant in the Solar System: mainstream sources group Jupiter and Saturn as the Solar System’s gas giants and often place Uranus and Neptune in a related but distinct “ice gi...
Objects with nonzero rest mass cannot be accelerated to light speed because the Lorentz factor γ → ∞ as v → c, which makes kinetic energy diverge and would require infinite energy to reach c . Modern ...
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) began returning images of Apollo sites in July 2009 and has since captured higher-resolution passes that show lunar module descent stages, rover tracks and, i...
Astronomers first recognized Olympus Mons as a bright albedo patch called Nix Olympica in 19th‑century telescopic maps, but its true size and nature — a 600–700 km wide shield volcano rising ~21–22 km...
No credible evidence in the provided reporting shows JWST has detected an object “from another universe”; available sources document JWST discoveries of interstellar visitors (3I/ATLAS), very distant ...
The horizon looks flat to human eyes primarily because of perspective and the enormous scale of Earth: an Earth radius of ~6,400 km compared with a person’s height makes the local tangent line essenti...
Available reporting shows 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet confirmed to be brightening unexpectedly as it passed perihelion on 29 October 2025 and then “speeding away” from the Sun; multiple outlets ...
Extraordinary claims about Earth or space should be checked against authoritative institutions that collect data, publish peer-reviewed science, and provide transparent visualizations; primary officia...
There is no clear, single news report in the provided sources announcing “Aron Cohen” as deceased; the available material mainly references various Cohens and similar names—Aaron Kosminski’s alternati...
Later imagery and missions confirm that most Apollo flags remained standing into the 21st century but are likely degraded and color‑bleached; NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter imagery shows at least...
Lunar laser ranging (LLR) uses laser pulses fired from Earth that return from corner-cube retroreflector arrays left on the Moon by Apollo 11, 14 and 15 (and later robotic missions), enabling round‑tr...
The image of a UFO with a vertical “beam-up” ray is a persistent cultural motif supported by decades of reports, viral videos, stock art and hobbyist tutorials — not a single documented truth — and it...
Images of spherical objects on Mars published by NASA and covered widely in the press are authentic rover photos showing millimeter‑scale spherules embedded in rocks; NASA and mission teams describe t...
