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 […]

Parallax astronomy is a method of measuring the distance to stars and other celestial objects. This technique can be used only for nearby stars, any farther away than that, and the angle becomes too small for this technique to work. Astronomers use parallax to measure distances up to around 100 […]

What Are Neutrinos? Neutrinos are tiny, almost massless particles. They are reproduced by nuclear reactions in the Sun and other stars, radioactive decay, and high-energy cosmic rays striking the Earth’s atmosphere. Electrically neutral, they can stream through ordinary matter with little or no interaction. Neutrinos are subatomic particles with no […]

Neutrinos are elementary subatomic particles with no charge and little or no mass. They participate in only the weak subatomic force and pass through almost unaffected ordinary matter. Neutrinos have no rest mass and travel at speeds close to the speed of light. Neutrinos oscillate between different flavors (electron, muon, […]

The James Webb Space Telescope, also identified as Hubble’s successor, launched this week. Although it was not scheduled to be placed into operation until 2018, the launch was significant for scientists and space enthusiasts alike. The telescope will cost a total of $8.7 billion and expects to last over ten […]

What does our Human body make up of? We may be aware of our bodies both internally and externally, but chemically, our bodies are made up of around 20 different elements that are found in the environment around us. Living organisms are made up of materials that are simple to […]

SpaceX – What is it and what does it do? In simplest terms, SpaceX is a company that is focused on space exploration and it is founded and funded by well-known billionaire Elon Musk. The main intention of SpaceX is to provide transportation to orbit. This exciting and eventful project […]

Neutrino is an elementary and weightless particle. Neutrinos were named “little neutral ones,” which means they have no charge at all. Regarding ghost particles, they can’t be seen and can’t be felt but exist everywhere and are unaffected by magnetic fields. Neutrinos only interact with two forces among the four […]
