Astronomers say that portals are extraordinary openings, in space or time, theoretically connecting travellers to far distant places in both space and time, basically shortcuts or doors leading into unknown territories
Time Travel Maybe Nearer
Many science fiction writers have speculated that it would be portals in space - wormholes, for instance - that might just enable time travel in the future. Well sometime during 2014 NASA will launch the Magneto-spheric Multi-scale Mission - MMS - in order to explore the new discovery of hidden portals in Earth’s magnetic field by Jack Scudder.
Scudder is a NASA funded researcher from the University of Iowa, and the mission will involve 4 separate spacecrafts working in tandem to observe them. Scudder comments that he believes the magnetic field of Earth to be connected to the magnetic field of the Sun - creating an uninterrupted path over 93 million miles of space.
Time Travel II

Scudder made his discovery by learning how to pinpoint both opening and closing such portals using ten year old data from a space probe that once orbited Earth. The Polar spacecraft, sent up by NASA in the 90s, monitored the magnetosphere of Earth for years, encountering many X-points along the way.
Time Travel III
These or x-points, otherwise known as portals, supposedly open and close many times daily - without warning and at unexpected intervals, such magnetic portals known to be unstable, elusive and frustratingly invisible, though their opening and closing can cause not just bright polar auroras but also geomagnetic storms, releasing very radiation poisonous high-energy particles harmful to humanity.
Do not, however, get too excited too soon, because the employment of such portals for the exploration of distant galaxies will not be a reality in the foreseeable future, simply because there are far too many unknowns to contend with, and human knowledge on the subject is distinctly lacking. However, like the discovery of the Higgs-Boson, so-called God particle, the simple fact of having found the portals means they can now be more closely studied.
