Oct 18, 2023 · Named for 19th-century astronomer Heinrich Olbers (though the question had been asked for centuries prior), the idea is this: If the universe is infinite and full of stars, then no matter where we...
The Black Knight satellite conspiracy theory claims that a spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin is in near-polar orbit of the Earth, and that NASA is covering up its existence and origin. This conspiracy theory combines several unrelated stories into one narrative.

A lot of the earliest discoveries that have been linked to the Black Knight satellite theory relate to radio signals. But a series of images from 1998 really threw the celestial cat among the pigeons. They were taken during STS-88, the first space shuttle mission to the International Space Station(ISS). There, for all to see, were images released b...
Conspiracists absorbed the STS-88 images into a growing body of "evidence," claiming they were proof that the Black Knight alien satellite really is out there. Reaching that conclusion, however, has required greats leaps of faith, and has also needed past observations to be forced into the overall story. Firm believers have had no problems going al...
People continued to use Tesla's findings to bolster claims for the Black Knight. They also took on board the work of a Norwegian engineer called Jørgen Hals, who in the 1920s found that radio signals he transmitted were being echoed back to him a few seconds later. We now know these as long delayed echoes, and Hals was the first person to observe t...
The Black Knight conspiracy theory may be with us for a while yet, for there is growing public interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) — or, as the US military has recently rebranded them, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). This interest really began to surge in December 2017, when The New York Times published three videos captured by came...

Mar 22, 1999 · Despite the fact that blazing stars and galaxies shine throughout the universe, space is pitch black, rather than being brightly lit. This seeming contradiction is known as Olbers' Paradox.
Nobody knows the exact reason why the night sky is black, so as of yet, we can’t definitively answer Olbers’s paradox. But there are plenty of explanations that have been offered over the years. Take a look and see which one you find most plausible.

Jun 28, 2023 · Have you ever pondered why space is black? This profound question lies at the heart of a centuries-old enigma known as Olber’s Paradox. Olber wondered, if the universe is infinite and full of stars, why we don’t see a uniformly bright night sky. Olber’s question led to investigations into the nature of the Universe that resolved his paradox.
