Secrets of space 2024, November
An object of unknown origin flew near a natural satellite of the Earth and got into the lens of NASA cameras
The universe may be eating itself up on the inside, but don't worry: physicists studying this phenomenon, called "spacetime decay," think it's unlikely.The idea that in some development scenarios the universe would be completely destroyed by an expanding bubble of nothing has not been recalled since 1982, when theoretical physicist Witten presented the possibility of self-criticism of the universe in the journal Nuclear Physics
He suggested looking for it under the frozen ground Planet scientist Alfred McEwen, an employee of the University of Arizona and the American aerospace agency NASA, said that primitive life forms may well live on Mars
Decades of searches have finally been crowned with success: scientists are close to unraveling where carbon appeared in the soil and atmosphere of the red planet
According to scientists, over the past 1000 years, the planet has noticeably decreased in size, in addition, the orbit of its motion has shifted even more to the Sun
Former NASA employee claims to have seen evidence of one of the most monumental mysteries in the history of space exploration in 1979
Mercury (= mercury) is a planet approximately equal to the Moon - satellite of planet Earth. A planet named after the deity of merchants and thieves, but also travelers
The sensational event that took place back in 2010 remained underestimated at its true worth. The discovery that the Spirit rover made then did not fit in my head so much that it was simply ignored
The planet Mercury, closest to the Sun, still surprises astronomers with its extremes. Her day lasts longer than a year. The side facing the luminary is red-hot, and the opposite side is immersed in incredible cold, according to Universe Today
Observations of the displacement of the orbit of Mercury have helped scientists calculate the exact rate at which the Sun is "losing weight" due to thermonuclear reactions and solar wind, astronomers say in an article published in the journal Nature Communications
We are very familiar with the solar system - after all, in fact, this is our home. The names of the planets included in its composition, the order of their arrangement (and maybe even the distance from the Sun) are known to many of us since school
Have you ever seriously thought about what life on Mars would be like and how it is - wandering the moons of Saturn or hosting guests on Mercury? Images from Hollywood films instantly pop up in my memory
One of the culprits of the apocalypse on Earth may be Mercury: if its placement in outer space changes, it will destroy the globe
When re-analyzing images and data from the Messenger probe, quite significant ice reserves were revealed not only in large, but also in small craters at the poles of Mercury, according to an article published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters
The BepiColombo probe has passed vibration tests and is preparing for launch, and ESA has revealed details of its mission to Mercury
Geologists Kelsey Crane and Christian Klimkzak from the University of Georgia (USA) estimated the rate of cooling of Mercury and the time during which the smallest and closest planet to the Sun in the solar system acquired its present size
An unusual building was discovered in a NASA photo in one of the craters on the planet Mercury (see video below)
Recent studies indicate that habitable planets lurk in the trail of planets like Jupiter, orbiting distant stars
In the coming day, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will make another flyby around Saturn's satellite Enceladus
The closest to the luminary and the smallest planet in the solar system is still a mystery. Like the Earth and the four gas giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, Mercury has its own magnetosphere
Phobos and Deimos - two exclusive satellites of the planet Mars, translated as "fear" and "horror". This name echoes the mystery and uncertainty surrounding them, despite many years of careful study
Ice-cold exoplanets like Enceladus or Europa are unlikely to support life, as the rise in surface temperature will turn them not into an ocean world, but a giant greenhouse, according to an article published in the journal Nature Geoscience
Researchers argue about the nature of the object visible in the NASA image: whether it is a "monolith" rises or, conversely, a "door" is visible, leading into the planet
Scientists from the English, American and two Australian universities say they will not develop any new laws, but will collect all the existing rules and regulations related to space
At the end of the 19th century, it seemed that, on the whole, everything was already clear both with the structure of nature and with its laws. It remained to deal with small details and annoying problems such as an open electron for some reason and small discrepancies between the real and calculated orbits of Mercury
The NASA space agency recorded some strange emissions of light that were directed towards planet Earth.It is curious that the live broadcast, which was carried out by the agency's specialists from the International Space Station, was immediately cut off, which gives new food for thought regarding the fact that cosmologists do not want to share their knowledge and observations about what is really happening in space and what contacts they have with extraterrestrial civilization
Astronomers in the process of studying cosmic bodies and observing them sometimes give out rather strange hypotheses. Of course, many of them have scientific justification and are useful for society in general and science, in particular
25 years ago, the Russian Federation and the United States signed an agreement on cooperation in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes
The endless search for extraterrestrial intelligent life for some smoothly and imperceptibly flows into a real obsession
NASA continues to hide the truth about what is happening in space
The stars scattered across the dark sky only seem to be countless: with the naked eye only about 6,000 distant stars can be seen. But it's not easy to navigate in them
What could be more beautiful than the starry sky? Only the starry sky, on which you can find the brightest star and distinguish the constellation from asterism. So, 10 nice and useful facts about constellations
Observing the stars, it seems that they are all chaotically scattered across the sky and do not correspond to their names at all. What were the guides of astronomers, highlighting them in the constellations and giving them names? We'll figure out
The theory that the universe is a consequence of the Big Bang is possibly a myth. Below is an unusual take on the Big Bang theory.The Big Bang theory says that 13 - 18 billion years ago, all matter was concentrated in an infinitely small and very hot spot - a singularity
Black holes are objects with so much matter concentrated in one point that nothing - even light - can't get out of a certain area around them
The data was obtained from the Curiosity rover. The images, as well as the results of the analysis of minerals from the surface of the Red Planet, helped scientists learn more about Mars. Humanity has entered a qualitatively new stage in the study of the planet
Most of the experts do not agree with this statement. Russian researcher of extraterrestrial civilizations and UFOs Dmitry Shakhov, as well as futurologist Denis Komov, said that spots on the Sun disappear and in the future this will lead to the cooling of the star and disappear
If you want the most virgin, cleanest pictures of our universe, the best thing to do is to leave Earth. Here on our planet, you can find a whole bunch of all kinds of effects that interfere with our rendering capabilities
The inhabitants of planet Earth take gravity as a matter of course. It is known that Isaac Newton developed the theory of universal gravitation due to the fact that an apple fell on his head from a tree
