Discover what exist in the universe
Climate change, caused by global warming, has been an emerging topic of discussion over the past several years as new scientific studies confirm its existence and offer more information about its effects on our planet. However, many people still don’t understand what it is or how it can affect them […]
Jupiter’s Introduction Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest planet in the solar system. It is a gas giant with a diameter of 88,000 miles, which is 11 times that of Earth. Jupiter was first spotted by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and named after the Roman […]
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, is one of the most likely places in our solar system to harbor alien life. The icy moon is thought to have a subsurface ocean, and scientists say that it has all the necessary ingredients for life. A mission to Europa is currently in the […]
There is no definitive answer to whether space hotels exist or not.

What is the Spitzer space telescope? The Spitzer Space Telescope is an infrared space telescope launched by NASA on August 25, 2003. It is the fourth and final of the Earth-orbiting instruments in NASA’s huge Observation program, after Hubble, Compton, and Chandra. Named after astronomer Lyman Spitzer, who proposed the […]
Introduction The Kepler telescope was introduced in 2009 with the primary mission of finding Earth-like planets. After nine years of scanning space, it had found 218 such planets. These discoveries helped to confirm that other planets in our universe are very much like Earth, and many of them could support […]
Jupiter is a big ball of the gas giants in our solar system. It’s fifth from the sun and has a diameter of 88,846 miles. That’s 11 times Earth’s diameter! If Jupiter were hollow, it could hold more than 1,300 Earth inside it. Jupiter is composed of hydrogen and helium. […]
Earthquakes are some of the destructive and feared natural disasters. But why do they happen? Earthquakes are caused when blocks of the Earth’s crust suddenly slip past each other. The force of this motion creates an earthquake. Buildings, roads, and homes can all be destroyed by these earthquakes. Scientists are […]
A little more than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, and it is a necessity for all known forms of life. But where does water come from? And why is there so much of it here? The Earth was born about 4.5 billion years ago, and the […]
