If you look at the fascinating popular science series "Cosmos: Space and Time", you know what a "ship of the imagination" is – a spaceship that travels through the universe with the help of the imagination. The presenter of the series, astrophysicist Neil Degrass Tyson, is at the helm of this ship and shows a […]
A large and potentially dangerous asteroid is ready to fly past Earth next month. Despite the associated fears, the space guest poses no threat to the inhabitants of our planet, but can even help modern science to replenish new information about the structure of such objects. At the moment the asteroid flying on us is […]
A supernova outbreak is a phenomenon that marks the end of a massive star's life cycle. However, it was thanks to the supernovae that all life appeared on earth, including us and you. So the atoms in your right hand came from the bowels of the long-dead star and the atoms in your left hand […]
If you read the news about how the oceans became "garbage cans" for plastic waste, you would think that humanity has damaged every corner of the planet. However, recently National Geographic Society employees found a place where human hands have not yet reached. We are talking about an underwater forest from brown algae on the […]
The bright star Betelgeuse, which began to fade sharply in 2019, won't die and won't turn into a supernova, as some scientists originally thought. It turned out that she was covered in dust all the time. This is confirmed by the results of a new study that was published on the Arxiv preprint server. We […]
What do scientists know about the formation of the solar system and especially our planet? It is believed that the solar system was formed by gravitationally compressing a gas dust cloud about 4.57 billion years ago, and that the formation of the earth took 10 to 20 billion years. However, researchers at the StarPlan Center […]
Ocean planets are not uncommon in our galaxy. Because these distant celestial objects are completely covered by water, they can be a real warehouse of life. Did you know, however, that the Earth was also covered by a huge ocean 3.2 billion years ago and had no continents at all? According to an article published […]
Michelle Kunimoto, a student at the University of British Columbia School of Astronomy, discovered 17 new exoplanets, including a potentially inhabited planet the size of Earth, phys.org reported. After examining the data the NASA-Kepler mission collected during its first four-year program, the researcher discovered traces of previously unnoticed objects in locations in the so-called "Goldilocks […]
About three years ago, an object called Astronomer 2020 CD3 was a common asteroid that wandered through the vastness of the vast universe. After the stone made of carbon rock had conquered the earth's gravity network, it turned into an earth satellite, which due to its size is now considered to be our "Miniloon". The […]
Like its closest neighbors, the solar system is literally filled with asteroids. Most of these objects will never intersect with us, but some of them will actually or will pose a threat to our planet in the future. The asteroid Chiksulub, for example, experienced a real “doomsday” on Earth 65 million years ago and destroyed […]
