Secrets of space 2024, November
The northerners, who managed to make a wish on the night of April 18-19, 2014, while a bright blue-and-white ball flew across the sky, can be sure that it will come true. The heavenly body, which cut through the darkness with light in 2
This mysterious object suddenly appeared in the sea of Ligeia on Titan (satellite of Saturn) and was named by astronomers "The Magic Island"
By the end of this century, says astrophysicist Martin Rees, we should have an answer to the question of whether we live in a multiverse or not, and how different the laws of physics are in the universes that make it up
As part of the Who Nose project, dedicated to the study of adaptations of the human nose to the Martian climate, Polish designer Marta Flisykowska presented models of three "ideal variants" of the olfactory organ, printed on a 3D printer
It would seem that so much has already been written about the Moon, but as it was mysteriously incomprehensible, it remained so. The question is - why
Researchers still do not know what the planet Nibiru is. It may indeed be a planet, but it is also likely a wandering comet from ancient legends. Since the discovery of ancient texts, the object has been the cause of numerous theories. For many, the appearance of Nibiru in our home system means the onset of a planetary apocalypse
Scientists of the Radioastron project have completed collecting data to test the gravitational time dilation, Roscosmos reported on Tuesday
Before the birth of the Moon, our planet rotated on its side, like Uranus, and only a collision with the "grandmother" of the Moon Theia and the formation of a companion of the Earth forced her to change her habits and begin to rotate in a "normal" way, planetologists say in an article published
Scientists from the University of California have uncovered the mystery of the birth of the moon. Earth's satellite was formed as a result of a nuclear explosion
Data from the Hubble and the MAVEN probe helped Russian and foreign scientists find out where the water from the Mars atmosphere disappears and how the Sun is involved in its disappearance. Their findings were published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters
For decades, astronomers have tried to understand what impact the huge Jupiter has on the Earth? Who is he for our planet - friend and protector or enemy?
More than three million people around the world have watched a video that Youtube user siniXster has edited from recent NASA images. Ufologists are delighted: they looked at a spaceship, as if "parked" next to Mercury
Information and we know that this is the closest star to the Earth, that it is one and a half million times larger than our planet in volume, that thanks to the heat and light emitted by the Sun, life on Earth is possible. But, despite these well-known facts, our main luminary is surrounded by certain oddities
Probably, some of you have already watched a video on the Internet with the eloquent title "The Earth does not revolve around the Sun". If you haven't had time to get acquainted, then here they are at the beginning of the post and under the cut the less informative first part
One thing is clear - all the inhabitants of the Earth will have hard times due to the complete attenuation of our star. It's hard to imagine what would have happened to the Earth if the Sun had disappeared even for a day: we are so dependent on the star that life seems impossible without it
According to astronomers, a second Sun may flare up over the planet Earth. The star Betelgeuse will become such a Sun for us, ready to be reborn into a supernova. Its explosion will make our entire Galaxy shudder - the Milky Way
Scientists from NASA believe that life on Earth may be affected by the strongest storm that will occur soon on the Sun. They came to this conclusion after analyzing the processes that occur on our star
One day in the future, Earth's oceans will boil, destroying all life on the planet's surface and render it completely uninhabitable
In June 2019, renowned Taiwan-based ufologist Scott C. Waring drew attention to a strange anomaly that appeared on the Helioviewer service and resembled a huge, planet-sized (based on the official size of the Sun) black triangular object:- Salik
In the minds of an ordinary modern person, there is a number of unshakable truths that stand in his way like monoliths and never give in to doubt. One of them is knowledge about the sun, our only star, the source of light and heat, thanks to which life exists on Earth
At the end of winter 2019, strange events took place with our star. At the end of February 2019, the recorded radiation by satellites in the X-ray range decreased to the threshold of their sensitivity:- Salik.bizAnd then it fell altogether almost to a level for which the radiation detection ranges were not calculated:Tesis
The sun is important for our planet and humanity, and for this reason, scientists are closely watching everything that happens to our star. There is a version that when the Sun goes out, then our entire galaxy will be destroyed, but we have several billion years ahead of us
As we reported earlier, the spot AR2738, which appeared on the Sun more than a week ago, is now directed directly towards the Earth and shows signs of splitting into two spots, which is usually accompanied by a solar flare. And it looks like it's already starting
How far scientists are right will become clear in the next two years.The main secret of the Sun is its temperature. More precisely, in the temperature difference. For some mysterious reason, the outer regions of the atmosphere of our luminary - the so-called corona - are much hotter than itself
Since ancient times, there has been a dispute between people about the internal structure of the Earth. In past centuries, our ancestors considered the Earth to be an unknown living creature, which was reflected in fairy tales. The earth was called mother, and the sun was called father
In March 1989, 6 million people were left without heat, electricity and radio communications in Quebec for almost a day. In the summer of 2000, a Japanese communications satellite unexpectedly went out of order
Scientists have concluded that white dwarfs, the remnants of stars similar to our Sun, begin to crystallize at some point in their life cycle, and many of them already have a core of solid oxygen and carbon
The earth and other planets of the solar system will literally be "covered" with huge heaps of sand, nano-diamonds and corundum, which the star will generate in the last moments of its life, astronomers say in an article published in the journal MNRAS
NASA said that a joint US-British group of researchers working with the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) spacecraft managed for the first time to remove large-scale eddy-like formations inside the solar corona
Now the solar core is fusing helium from hydrogen, with the result that with each nuclear reaction, a small amount of mass is converted into pure energy, according to Einstein's E = mc squared
In September 1859, a coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred. Astronomers have observed a huge pillar of fire appearing on the sun, and auroras were visible even in Cuba and Jamaica
Scientists recently announced the discovery of Kepler-186f, a planet 492 light years away in the constellation Cygnus
This Carinae, the largest and most restless star in the galaxy, constantly generates a huge amount of cosmic rays, accelerating particles of matter to near-light speeds, according to an article published in the journal Nature Astronomy
Astrophysicists have modeled the temperature on the surface of an Earth-like planet that orbits in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star in differently shaped orbits and with different inclination of the axis of rotation
Scientists have received a new estimate of the age of one of the most intriguing planetary systems discovered to date - the TRAPPIST-1 system, which includes seven Earth-sized planets orbiting an ultracold dwarf star located at a distance
For a very long time, scientists believed that stars were composed primarily of iron - until 25-year-old Harvard Observatory student Cecilia Payne proved completely different in her Ph.D
American scientists came to the conclusion that 3 billion years ago the climate on Venus was not as harsh as it is now, and it could become the first inhabited planet in the solar system
Computer simulations have shown that clumps of superdense matter in the depths of neutron stars are incredibly strong for ordinary materials
The cosmos is still unknown, and the more we immerse ourselves in its secrets, the more questions we get. Let's note the 7 main mysteries of space that science has faced
Recently discovered geological features of Mars indicate that conditions suitable for the formation of life may have existed on the Red Planet in the past. An article detailing the study was published in Astrobiology
