In ancient times, two asteroids fell on the Martian ocean, which led to the appearance of megatsunami. These are the conclusions reached by geophysicists from the EU, USA and China. A study on this issue has been published in Scientific Reports and briefly reported by EurekAlert

A few days ago, on March 14, one of the most prominent physicists of our time, Stephen Hawking, left this world

Relativity changed everything, but it took a corresponding amount of time

Why is life limited to the sizes that we observe on Earth. The sizes of things in our universe range from 10-19 meters (a characteristic of quark interactions) to cosmic horizons at a distance of about 1026 degrees of a meter

The universe is where it always was and always will be. At least that's what we were told and so follows from the very word "Universe". But whatever the true nature of the universe, our ability to gather information about it is fundamentally limited

In 1877, the American astronomer Asaf Hall discovered two satellites of Mars - Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is the only satellite in the solar system whose period of revolution around the planet is less than the period of its revolution around the sun

The idea of black holes dates back to 1783, when Cambridge scientist John Michell realized that a fairly massive object in a small enough space could attract even light without letting it escape. More than a century later, Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution to Einstein's general theory of relativity, which predicted the same result: a black hole. Bot

The Americans sent a spacecraft to the asteroid Bennu, which threatens to destroy the Earth On Friday, the American probe OSIRIS-REx was launched into space

A new study by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Germany) proves that a strong greenhouse effect can be as destructive to life on any planet as a planet too close to a star

The strongest magnetic storm in the last 20 years covers the Earth. The streams of force will rage for two days. A magnetic storm hit our planet due to powerful flares on the Sun

For tens of millions of years, what giants have not inhabited the oceans of the Earth: 2,200-kilogram turtles, sea cows the size of a whale, sharks, the size of a bus. But about 2.6 million years ago, they all began to die out en masse

Less than a century ago, man first flew into space. Today, there are plans for colonies on Mars, settlements on the Moon, and asteroid drilling to extract resources. To what extent is it appropriate and what will it give the planet - in our material

Geologists from St. Petersburg State University discovered in the vicinity of the village of Batagai in Yakutia a mineral from the phosphate group, which has no analogues either in nature or in laboratories, according to an article published in the journal

A mysterious "hump" at the Moon's equator indicated that the Earth was devoid of oceans of liquid water during the first 400-500 million years of its existence, which imposes serious restrictions on the time of the origin of life, the article says

Astronomers first saw what would happen to the Earth as the sun ran out of hydrogen by observing an elderly star in the constellation of Poop, according to an article published in Astronomy & Astrophysics

The Curiosity rover recently discovered methane on Mars, which may indicate the presence of life forms there. Does this mean we are on the verge of discovering life on Mars? Biology and genetics professor Gary Ravkan wants to look for DNA on Mars

In the new Chinese science fiction film, Wandering Earth, recently released by Netflix, humanity is attempting to alter the Earth's orbit to avoid being destroyed by the dying and expanding Sun, and to prevent collision. with Jupiter. Such a scenario of a cosmic apocalypse may one day actually happen

It is generally accepted that there is nothing in space except vacuum, cold and the endless emptiness of distant, distant galaxies. However, this is not quite true. Of course, life is not boiling in space, but there are many interesting processes taking place there

Even children seem to know about Planet X or Nibiru. However, to this day, no one with complete certainty dares to claim that she really is. Even scientists argue today, as they argued yesterday: some say that the world will soon be able to meet the planet, get to know it better, others categorically declare that Nibiru is just a myth, it is not in the Cosmos

The planet Venus was not always a hot hellish world with rains of sulfuric acid - scientists say, noting that once in the past, rivers of liquid water flowed along the surface of Venus.We know that if there is liquid water on the planet, then it may well be the biological life we are used to, so it is very likely that Venus was once habitable.- S

The population of the Earth is rapidly increasing, and soon humanity will become cramped on the planet. Futurists view the colonization of the solar system as the most likely scenario for the future

The Japanese Akatsuki probe discovered giant spiral-like structures in the lower atmosphere of Venus, generated by polar winds and the planet's rapid rotation. Their photos and descriptions were published in the journal Nature Communications

Our space is so unexplored that scientists are still trying to find planets that may look like Earth. They are looking for them in order to be able to colonize such planets in case something happens to our planet. There are a lot of dangers for the Earth and many famous scientists have spoken and are talking about this and we do not want human civilization to disappear without a trace?

In recent years, the media have written a lot about the exploration of the Moon and Mars, bringing more and more unexpected and sometimes frankly sensational news. Another closest neighbor of our planet in the face of Venus somehow found itself in the shadow

Astronomers have discovered the first carbonaceous asteroid in the cold outer regions of the solar system, reported in The Astrophysical Journal Letters

Several years ago, the American automatic interplanetary station discovered this strange vertically sticking object on Phobos, and it is still unknown what it is

It is quite easy to predict the behavior of space objects; they have their own speed and trajectory. Their movement can be calculated and they should not disappear without a trace at all, but this happens

The Chelyabinsk meteorite was only 17-20 meters across, but caused significant damage in situ, knocked out windows and maimed people in an explosion in the Earth's atmosphere in February 2013. To prevent another such collision, Amy Mainzer and her colleagues use a simple but clever way to detect tiny near-Earth objects (NEO) that threaten our planet

Whose Doomsday machine will win: ours or the Universe? The 1998 film "Armageddon" has repeatedly become the object of ridicule for a huge number of scientific errors

Periodic mass extinctions on Earth, reflected in global fossil records, could be linked to a possible ninth planet, according to a study published by a member of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas

The most inhospitable planet in the solar system will be able to explore the most reliable spacecraft. AREE probe - hi-tech without chips and wires. No electronics, just old school and loyal mechanics

This is a mysterious celestial body, comparable in mass to the Earth, which revolves around the Sun in a very distant orbit. 1

"The Ninth Planet" - a mysterious hidden planet that is hiding (or not hiding) at a great distance from our Sun, but in our solar system, continues to lead astronomers by the nose

The mysterious "Planet 9" really exists - this conclusion was made by scientists from the University of Michigan. They spotted an object at the edge of the solar system that may help make a breakthrough in research

Astronomers continue to search for the mysterious "Ninth Planet", which, in their opinion, may exist practically on the outermost border of our solar system

The owner of the Youtube channel Paranormal Crucible, the content of which is devoted to various space anomalies, has dedicated another video to an unknown giant UFO near the Sun

Phaethon planetPhaethon, or Olbers' planet, is the fifth planet in the solar system, the orbit of which was previously between Mars and Jupiter, and then disintegrated and formed the asteroid belt.- Salik.bizAstronomical and climatic characteristics of PhaetonnPhaethon is the fifth planet in the solar system

A giant young star, many times the mass of the Sun, along with a cloud of gas and dust surrounding it, fell into the field of view of the Herschel orbiting telescope.The protostar, which received the astronomical designation RCW 120, is only a few tens of thousands of years old and in which thermonuclear reactions have not yet begun, has a mass 8-10 times the mass of the Sun and is surrounded by a cloud, which contains about 200 times more matter than in Solar system

Watchers.news: In physical reality, the Cosmos is in constant transformation, nothing is permanent, including the solar system in which our planet is located.Reliable and clear observations show that the Earth is not the only planet in the solar system that is undergoing climate change

Not so long ago, many Russian media reported that “amateur astronomers in different parts of our planet do not find two planets of the solar system - Mars and Pluto - in the place of the starry sky where they should be.This "loss" coincided with other oddities. E
