Formation of Pangea Ultima In about 250 million years, Earth is expected to witness another grand tectonic reunion, leading to the birth of Pangea Ultima. This new supercontinent will likely be as challenging for life as it is intriguing to geologists. The perpetual movement of Earth's tectonic plates drives this […]
Solar Corona Observation Techniques Observing the solar corona presents unique challenges due to the sun's intense brightness. Researchers employ various methods to study this outermost layer of the sun, each with its own advantages and limitations. Total solar eclipses offer rare opportunities to view the corona in detail when the […]
Parker Solar Probe's Mission The Parker Solar Probe, launched by NASA in 2018, ventures closer to the sun than any previous human-made object. Its mission is to unravel solar mysteries, particularly the dynamics of solar flares. Encased in a cutting-edge heat shield, the spacecraft can withstand temperatures nearing 2,500 degrees […]
Thermal Protection System The Parker Solar Probe's Thermal Protection System (TPS) is an engineering marvel crafted from carbon-carbon composite. Sandwiched between two carbon sheets, this material shields against temperatures reaching nearly 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite its protective capabilities, the TPS remains relatively lightweight at 160 pounds. The sun-facing side features […]
NASA's Artemis II: Reigniting Lunar Exploration NASA's Artemis II mission aims to reignite humanity's fascination with the Moon.
