Discover what exist in the universe
The earth and the moon are both bodies of mass, but the moon is much smaller than the earth. So why does the moon have any effect on the rotation of our planet? The answer lies in something called angular momentum, or simply, the speed with which an object rotates […]
The James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s newest observatory, has captured images of the aftermath of a massive supernova at the edge of the spiral galaxy NGC 6946. Just how powerful will this new telescope be? NASA is slated to launch their new telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), sometime […]
Earth, the planet that we all call home, is just one of many planets in our solar system, and our solar system is just one of millions of solar systems in the Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy, as well as its neighboring galaxies make up what we know […]
Scientists have long wondered whether white holes—the opposite of black holes—actually exist. Now, the James Webb Telescope has not only proven that they do exist, but also that they’re more common than we thought! Here’s everything you need to know about this amazing discovery and what it could mean for […]
The Moon and the Earth are both fascinating celestial bodies, but they couldn’t be more different in size, with the Moon being about one-quarter of the size of Earth. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like if the two were of equal size, wonder no more! We’ve created […]
It may seem strange to consider, but life on Earth could cease to exist if the sun ceased to rise every morning. In this thought experiment, we’ll take a look at what would happen if the sun never rose again. Scenario 1: The Military The military would be in complete […]
You may have heard that it’s possible to see an image of the sun with the naked eye, but you should never try to do so unless you’re ready to face some serious consequences. Of course, there are plenty of people who end up looking at the sun anyway because […]
As big as Jupiter may be, it’s still just one of over 150 confirmed planets in our solar system, and it seems that more are being discovered every year. Just how big would our solar system be if Jupiter decided to swallow all of these planets whole? How much would […]
The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our solar system resides, and it’s one of the most interesting objects in the night sky. In fact, it might just be one of the most fascinating celestial bodies in existence! Here are 10 fascinating facts about the Milky Way that you […]
One of the first things we learn in school about the solar system is that Earth and the other planets are in just the right spot—a region called the habitable zone—to support life as we know it. But where exactly do you find this magic habitable zone? And how did […]
