Discover what exist in the universe
Scientists have been working hard to figure out how old the earth is, and now they’re getting closer than ever to an answer – or at least, they think they are. A new study published in the journal Nature reveals that the earth might be as old as 4.3 billion […]
Scientists have been puzzling over dark energy since the 1990s, and they still don’t know exactly what it is. But they have an idea: that there’s some kind of strange energy making up roughly 70% of the universe, which is pushing galaxies away from each other at an accelerated rate […]
Even though we don’t understand it, it may be the key to everything we’ve ever known about our universe. For decades now, scientists have observed that the universe appears to be expanding at an accelerating rate, and in 1998, physicists discovered that something may be causing this phenomenon—a force they […]
How far away are the planets, asteroids, and comets in our solar system? Are there any planets, asteroids, or comets out there that we haven’t found yet? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is set to launch in 2018, and it will have the ability to find and study the mysterious […]
The moon titan is an interesting celestial body located on the outer edge of the solar system that’s not nearly as well-known as other planets and moons in our solar system such as Jupiter or Earth, but there are actually some very interesting facts about this celestial body that you […]
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. However, several companies are in the business of providing space tourism services, and some of them have even unveiled designs for their proposed space hotels. While the idea of spending your vacation in outer space might seem like […]
What is a Kuiper belt? The Kuiper Belt is a large, disc-like area of frozen particles beyond Neptune. It is home to many frozen comets and asteroids, including Pluto. The belt was first hypothesized by Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper in 1951, who observed that the orbits of planets in the […]
