Secrets of space 2024, November

Until now, we ourselves are the only example of the existence of intelligent life in the Universe. We have already launched a bunch of different probes, sent many powerful telescopes into the deepest depths of space - - but it's all useless

Recently, earthlings have been constantly frightened by the end of the world, and everyone who can, from clairvoyants to orthodox scientists

The anticipation of the Apocalypse is now becoming a common state of people living on planet Earth. Everyone sighs with relief when the next forecast of the coming Apocalypse is not justified. This happened in 2000, when everyone was waiting with bated breath for the fulfillment of the biblical prophecy about the end of the world

Astronomers have been suspecting, or at least suggesting, the existence of one, and possibly several, distant planets orbiting the Sun for years

The mysterious gamma radiation emanating from the center of the Galaxy is generated not by decaying dark matter, but by extragalactic cosmic rays, which are slowed down by a giant electromagnetic "trap" of a still unknown nature, reports NASA

You've probably seen the mysterious images from Mars, which show an unusual pyramid, prompting thoughts of alien intervention. It turns out that it really exists. Former NASA employees share impressive facts about this

While Elon Musk, the organizers of the Mars One mission and NASA are making plans for the first settlements on Mars, others are proposing to master what is closer. ESA considers the moon as a second home for humanity

Astronomers examined the structure of a distant white dwarf: the dead star turned out to be much larger than modern theories of the evolution of luminaries allow. "Stellar seismography" made it possible to study the internal structure of the white dwarf KIC08626021

Ghosts exist not only in abandoned castles, anomalous zones and in the place of old cemeteries, but also in deep space

In a distant galaxy called MACS1149-JD1, located 13.28 billion light years away, astronomers have found oxygen, which, in their opinion, could appear there just 500 million years after the Big Bang

In a speech to the US military at Marine Corps Base Miramar on Tuesday March 13, US President Donald Trump said his new national security strategy views outer space as t

If a giant asteroid falls to Earth one day, then all of humanity will end

The ispace company announced that its first devices will go to the moon in 2020 and 2021, industrial exploitation of satellite resources will begin by 2030, and a whole town will be built on it by 2040

A powerful solar storm could disrupt communications systems on Earth and cause huge economic damage, scientists warn. Why are solar storms so dangerous?

Life on Earth entirely depends on the processes occurring on the Sun, therefore scientists constantly observe the star

You've probably heard of magnetic storms or solar storms. Giant eruptions appear on the surface of the sun that send charged particles into space

Scientists assure: in order to save human civilization, hundreds of billions of dollars will have to be spent on the construction of a space shield. In September 2017, the Sun did not calm down for more than a week, blazing outbursts of the most powerful - x-ray

The sunspot, which at the beginning of September "spattered" the Earth with flares, returns the Sunspot, it is the active region AR 2673 - the area on the disk of the star, which recently became the source of several powerful flares - the strongest

The sun is a star that gives life to all life on Earth. However, its rays can be not only beneficial, but also harmful. Scientists are seriously concerned about what is happening on our Sun in the last days

New spy satellite, commissioned by the US military, will be able to broadcast video in real time from an area of tens of square kilometers

Last year, famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced an ambitious plan to launch a tiny spacecraft to the Alpha Centauri system

An ufologist registered on YouTube under the name Streetcap1, who is carefully studying all the photos and videos of NASA, has posted a stunning video from the landing site of the rover "Opportunity"

Scientists have come to the conclusion that one of Saturn's moons contains life in its ocean. Such statements were put forward by experts after studying the balance of water jets emitted by geysers on the sixth satellite called Enceladus

“Do not assume that life is widespread in the Universe”, - said Charles Cockell, Director of the Astrobiology Center of the United Kingdom at the meeting of the Royal Society on March 11 this year

In the thinking organs of people who have been in zero gravity for a long time, dangerous physiological changes occur. The absence of gravity, as scientists have found, compresses the brain and narrows its convolutions

Mars is a practically unexplored planet and all the knowledge of people about this planet is based on numerous images from satellites and data from Mars rovers, but is that enough? Humanity is actively developing the idea of colonizing the Red Planet, but so far there are no suitable technologies for this.How

CERN physicists working with the LHCb detector have found the first possible differences between matter and antimatter, explaining why there is almost no antimatter in the modern universe, according to an article published in the journal Nature Physics

Russian and foreign astronomers have discovered an extremely unusual "carbon" star in the constellation Cassiopeia, which arose several tens of thousands of years ago as a result of the merger of large white dwarfs. In the near future, it will explode and turn into a pulsar, according to an article in the journal Nature Astronomy

There is a version that in fact, people have been colonizing not only the Moon, but also Mars for several decades. The governments of the superpowers are doing this in secret from their own peoples. This version is one of the varieties of conspiracy theory

It would seem that a lot is known about the solar system to everyone who at least sometimes opened an astronomy textbook at school

Scientists have found minerals in one of the lunar meteorites that form only in the presence of liquid water, which suggests that it existed in the past on the surface of the Earth's satellite

In 2012, at the Large Hadron Collider, the mass of the "God particle" - the Higgs boson was determined. Its value turned out to be such that it is capable of overturning all the well-established ideas about the "strength" of our world - the end of the Universe can come at any moment, and the source of the death of the Universe can appear at any point

It would seem that so much has been written about the life of cosmonauts that nothing new can be learned about it. But the most stupid and awkward questions - those that are not accepted to be discussed in a decent society or during meals - few people know the exact answers
