Discover what exist in the universe
The sky above Earth is very vast. You cannot imagine what matter is present above you once you leave Earth’s atmosphere. Another world starts with no boundaries, measurements, or fields, known as space. Exploring space has been one of the biggest passions of scientists for a long time ago. Many […]
About 70 years ago, scientists discovered that the universe was expanding and galaxies were moving away from each other, meaning the universe was once smaller than it is now. Several decades later, in the 1990s, astronomers discovered that this expansion was accelerating due to a form of energy known as […]
The first stargazers discovered that the bright planets in our sky follow the same path as the Sun and Moon, more or less. The zodiac is the name we give to the sky path. Today, we know that this sky path – this zodiac – is the result of our […]
The solar system comprises of nine planets since the discovery of Pluto in 1930. Most of that changed in the late 1990s, when scientists started disputing whether Pluto was a planet or not. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union made the very contentious decision to label Pluto as a “dwarf […]

Dwarf planets are too small to be classified as full-fledged planets but too huge to be classified as dwarf planets. There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about Pluto losing its status as a planet in the solar system. Pluto is no longer regarded as the ninth planet […]
Is the Sun only one of the hundreds of billions of stars that make up the Milky Way Galaxy, a vast cosmic sphere? The Milky Way is a massive cluster of stars, dust, and gas that stretches across the sky. It’s termed a spiral galaxy because it appears to spin […]
WHAT ARE CONSTELLATIONS, AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? A constellation is a group of stars that form a shape in the night sky. People, animals, and things from mythology are commonly used as names. People throughout the world have shaped the same groupings of dazzling stars. It’s like a dot-to-dot. […]
This article will look at four main space missions that scientists have carried out, including flybys, orbiters, rover missions, and human space excursions. Crewed and uncrewed spacecraft are used in space exploration and inquiry to explore the far reaches of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere. The knowledge collected is utilized […]
