Until now, though, there has been no solid evidence to suggest the great flood of the Yellow River basin ever happened. But an international team of scientists has just had a paper published ..

Discovered by Tabetha Boyajian of Yale University, Tabby’s Star has been baffling astronomers thanks to its almost constant flickering. First believed to be a giant ‘alien megastructure’, the theory was then revised to it being caused by a vast swarm of comets. JPL-Caltech/NASA A new look at the solar system however has ruled even that ..
