Secrets of space 2024, April
It seems to some that the Moon does not in any way affect the processes that occur on Earth, but has a purely aesthetic property of illuminating the planet in the dark, and some mystical stories and rituals are also associated with it. But if someone does not know, the Moon affects many processes on our planet and is an important part of our ecosystem
The energy of the Sun is one of the factors that determine the existence of living organisms
Although the telescope was not invented by Galileo, but it was he who seriously improved this instrument and, most importantly, guessed to direct it into the sky, laying the foundation for a new astronomy. Among the first celestial bodies he considered was Venus, the regularities of the appearance of which above the horizon were known even by the Sumerians, Egyptians and Greeks
On January 25, NASA reported that a potentially dangerous asteroid with a destructive power of "50 million Hiroshima" was flying towards Earth at great speed. There are only a few weeks left until the hot meeting. It's time to raise the long-sore, but more urgent than ever, question: what, in fact, are the chances of humanity to survive in opposition to an impartial space block?
We are only grains of sand in an endless universe. In the endless stream of daily affairs, few people think about the size of space objects. However, 3D animator Alvaro Gracia Montoya from MetaBallStudios is ready to show us how huge the solar system's asteroids are
All educated people from childhood, even from school textbooks, are familiar with a picture showing the comparative scales of the planets of the solar system:- Salik.bizThe picture does not perfectly represent the mass ratios, since the surfaces of the Sun and Jupiter are assumed to be gaseous
On the evening of June 22, 2020, at approximately 19:00 UTC, a gigantic coronal mass ejection occurred on the Sun:- Salik.bizJudging by the footage provided by the STEREO satellites, the explosion on the Sun was somehow unexpectedly large, so a number of enthusiasts began to investigate these images
On planet Earth, orbiting the Sun, we are the only intelligent life. Somewhere else in the solar system, microbial life could well exist, but intelligent, complex, diverse and multicellular life is - unlikely
Thanks to the Sun, life exists on Earth. But in addition to the obvious reasons for the influence of the Sun on our life, scientists are constantly discovering more and more new interconnections between the phenomena occurring on the Sun and what happens in the life of every person. 1
In trying to understand the universe, we become obsessed with - we are attracted by the thirst for observation. Satellites transmit hundreds of terabytes of data information every year, and just one telescope in Chile will produce 15 terabytes of space images every night
Scientists at Oxford University may have solved one of the biggest questions in modern physics: their new work combines dark matter and dark energy into a single phenomenon: a liquid with "negative mass"
Astrophysicists have revised the SETI search model for extraterrestrial intelligence and developed a new one, with which they re-evaluated the available data. Why have we still not found evidence of life anywhere but on Earth?
According to scientists from Oxford University, dark energy and dark matter - the same substance exhibiting negative mass effects
Physicists from the USA and South Korea described a possible scenario for the evolution of the Universe after the Big Bang, which differs from the one generally accepted by science
Astronomers have carefully calculated the average distance between the Earth and other planets in the solar system based on well-known data. To do this, they abandoned the standard comparison of the radius of the orbits, the distance from the planet to the Sun
Scientists suggest that planet X is moving towards Earth, which is capable of destroying all life. Apparently, this is Nibiru, which experts have been looking for for so long
A form of life based on previously unknown biochemical principles may exist on a neighboring planet, scientists from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the GK Boreskov Institute of Catalysis of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences suggest
"Angel hair" is a conventionally called some unusual cobweb-like gelatinous substance with veins inside, it falls to the ground after a UFO appears in this area
Many space explorers believe that it would be strange if the Earth was the only habitable planet
The emergence of life on Earth remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of modern science. And the question "Is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe?" so far remains unanswered for both scientists and ordinary earthlings.- Salik
Our Earth is surrounded by a huge bubble of space debris. If you look at the map with the image of all man-made objects that are now in orbit, it becomes clear that not two or three fragments of rockets or satellites are flying over our heads
Theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson published the idea of a hypothetical megastructure, later named after him, back in 1959, but recently the Dyson sphere has been exciting the minds of scientists especially intensively - it's all about detecting a number of strange
American astrophysicist Brian Luckey highly appreciated the chances that advanced extraterrestrial civilizations could inhabit the foreseeable part of the Universe
On March 26, at a meeting of the National Space Council, US Vice President Michael Pence announced the new space program of the United States of America. Its main point is the landing of astronauts on the moon no later than 2024
When it comes to space technology, it may seem like nothing significant has happened since the moon landing four decades ago. But if you want to imagine how space exploration will develop in the coming decades, then you just need to pay attention to NASA's little-known program of innovative advanced concepts (NIAC)
A top scientist accused NASA of hiding evidence of alien life on Mars, and he plans to prove it with a landmark report
July 8, 2011 The space shuttle Atlantis made its last flight under the Space Shuttle program. The program was closed as it had exhausted its possibilities. What is meant by this - we will not be told 100%. Has NASA funding ceased, space shuttles are morally and physically obsolete, are launches too expensive?
Experts are trying to figure out for what purpose space agencies paint the photographs they receive in fake colors and show them to us only after that.Photo experts have more than once noticed that photographs provided by space agencies, such as NASA and ESA, firstly, are not provided to the general public immediately after they are received, and secondly, they are often in fake colors
Our Universe is just a "mirror image" of another parallel world. According to the supporters of this hypothesis, both universes have one point of reference, that is, they arose as a result of the Big Bang. The news that NASA has finally managed to discover a parallel universe has excited the public
Beginning with the famous novel by HG Wells, The War of the Worlds, for over 100 years mankind has considered the consequences and conflicts that can arise from the first contact with a potentially hostile alien species. Around the same time, we began looking for evidence to refute our apparent galactic loneliness
I really like the idea of parallel universes. Due to the recent events in the world related to the CoVID-19 pandemic, I especially often think about how events would develop in a parallel universe without a pandemic, or in a universe in which this pandemic is the fifth in a row, and so on. But
Astronomers recorded signals that came from the farthest corners of the universe. These signals demonstrate anomalies and destruction of the space-time continuum of outer space
Researchers from the United States have discovered another universe in space. According to experts, the strange object is located only 200 light years from Earth, but has a structure resembling a massive cluster of galaxies
Wormholes or tunnels in the fabric of spacetime are terribly unstable. As soon as at least one photon hits them, the wormhole closes instantly. New research suggests that the secret to a stable wormhole is in their form.Wormholes, if they exist, will allow us to travel from point A to some extremely distant point B without worrying about travel time
For several years, scientists have been working on creating a kind of model called the "theory of integrated information" (TII), which in the future will allow to measure consciousness.TII is still considered bizarre, since it applies not only to humans, but also to such inanimate things as machines, subatomic particles, and even the universe itself
What if the time part in the space-time continuum equation was literally eliminated? One of the latest studies, perhaps, indicates that time is slowly and gradually disappearing from our universe and one day it will evaporate completely. A radical new theory could explain the cosmological puzzle that has been fooling scientists for years
In the evening, on April 10, 2020, the volcano Anak-Krakatau began to erupt, which was solemnly reported by all the media and not only lazy wrote. We, of course, also noticed a couple of words, but we kept waiting - when will the academicians say something clever?
Our Universe is almost ideally adapted for the emergence of man and other intelligent beings. What is behind this - higher powers or some random factors?
For decades, astrophysicists have studied various aspects of the universe. From black holes to the origin of the universe itself. But some went even further to learn the unknown or incomprehensible
At the beginning of the year, the New Horizons interplanetary station photographed an asteroid in the Kuiper belt, an area where small celestial bodies are clustered very far from Earth, beyond Pluto's orbit. It is believed that the Kuiper belt formed from what was left after the formation of the planets of the solar system
