Discover what exist in the universe
In early August 2017, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has been flying through space for over 30 years, made a shocking discovery that sent ripples through the scientific community and captured the attention of the entire world. Here’s what Voyager just detected in space that shocked the whole world. It’s […]
The world’s most powerful telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, will be launched in October of 2018. In addition to searching the skies for new planets and perhaps other forms of life, it will also be studying some of the oldest objects in the universe, helping us better understand how […]
NASA announced this week that it found evidence of a supermassive black hole that’s devouring galaxies. The discovery, which was made by the Hubble Space Telescope, will help scientists understand how galaxies develop and evolve over time. To learn more about the discovery, check out our article on the subject […]
When it comes to planets, there are few better places to visit than Venus, even if you’re not planning to stay there long-term. At an average temperature of over 755 degrees Fahrenheit and an atmospheric pressure more than 90 times that of Earth’s, Venus certainly isn’t the most hospitable place […]
Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has always been something of an oddball. With its many moons, unusual ring system and magnetic field unlike anything else we’ve ever seen, it’s no surprise that researchers are baffled by what they’re witnessing right now in Jupiter’s atmosphere. In fact, it […]
The James Webb Telescope, the successor to Hubble, has recently made an astonishing discovery that could change everything we know about the universe and life on Earth. After being launched into space via NASA’s Apollo rocket, the telescope was able to detect organic molecules on the exoplanet known as Proxima […]
On January 31, 2018, the moon will enter the Earth’s shadow for a total lunar eclipse. This rare astronomical event will last about 2 hours and 12 minutes, with most of the action occurring over the first hour and a half. A Brief History A lunar eclipse happens when the […]
With an estimated diameter of 1,392,684 km (865,374 miles), the Sun is more than 100 times larger than Earth and contains 99.8% of all the mass in our solar system (well, almost—the combined mass of the planets adds up to around 3%). It’s so big that if it were hollow, […]
Phobos and Deimos are the two moons of Mars—the first discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877. Unlike any other moons in the solar system, Phobos and Deimos are unique in that they are much larger than they are wide, with an unusual elongated shape resulting from intense tidal forces during […]
On July 21, 1969, Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the moon’s surface and history was made. This famous astronaut has been in the spotlight since then, but he hasn’t given many interviews about his life as an astronaut and more about what went on behind the scenes of the lunar landing. […]
