Recently, astronomers at the University of Geneva discovered a somewhat unusual planet with the telescope of the European Southern Observatory in Chile. This is a cloudy world, the atmosphere of which is so rich in iron that it rains from the sky. The exoplanet was named Wasp-76b and, according to an official press release, has […]
Although life in the universe appears to be a rather rare and fragile system, its stability is astonishing: tiny microorganisms can survive in the most extreme places on our planet – from many kilometers of ocean depth, where there is no light or heat, to hot volcanic vents. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute […]
Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic … As soon as scientists are not confused even in the epochs of our planet? In the 4.6 billion years of its existence, the earth has undergone a multitude of changes, of which particles are preserved in the old layers of the earth's surface. To classify the periods in the history of […]
Researchers from the University of New Mexico are certain that the bowels of our satellite hide evidence of an ancient collision that once radically influenced the development of our planet and could even cause the origin of life. About 4.5 billion years ago, something the size of Mars collided with a very young Earth, according […]
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 […]
The theory of how planets are formed in our solar system has been refuted. This was reported by the authors of a study published in the journal Science. When studying the asteroid Arrokot (Arrokoth, 2014 MU69) – the oldest and most distant asteroid in the solar system – scientists did not draw attention to its […]
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet about 30 years ago, scientists have discovered more than 4,000 celestial objects with different sizes and properties. Among the objects found in other solar systems, scientists were able to identify a large number of planets, the size and mass of which are many times larger than those of […]
Millions of years ago, giant dinosaurs ruled our planet. It is possible that they would still be here if there were not an accident – the asteroid Chiksulub, which fell to the surface of our planet 65 million years ago. According to the results of a recent study, it was he who caused the death […]
As you may know, scientists currently have data on the existence of more than 4,000 planets in the visible universe. Some of these objects are characterized by really incredible properties: they are next to their bodies in elliptical orbits or even rotate around several stars at the same time. The fantasy of the universe may […]
Scientists have set a record for the fastest rotating object made by humans. A tiny device can make more than 300 billion revolutions per minute and move 500,000 times faster than a dental drill. According to newsweek.com, a team from Purdue University in France has used a powerful laser to accelerate a microscopic object floating […]
