Secrets of space 2024, November

The hypothetical "planet X", existing, as some scientists suggest, somewhere beyond Pluto's orbit, is fraught not with a threat, but with the hope of salvation

The Russian scientific orbiter "Mikhailo Lomonosov", created to study transient light phenomena in the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere, has registered something very strange

For millions of years, the starry sky attracted a person with its mystery. Our distant ancestors were sure that everything that happens on Earth was sent from above. Over time, people learned to read the starry sky like a book

Last year, two astronomers were studying the most distant objects orbiting the sun that we have found in all the time, when suddenly they saw something interesting

On Thursday, March 7, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded a solar eclipse visible only from Earth's orbit. During the eclipse, which lasted just over four hours, 82% of the Sun was covered

In July 2011, the last independent dispatch by the American space agency NASA of astronauts to Earth orbit took place

What will happen to the brain of an astronaut during a mission to Mars? Nothing good

Astronomers made a monumental discovery in February this year

In mid-July, the MIDAS lunar event detection and analysis system deployed in Spain recorded two large flares on our satellite, which occurred on July 17 and July 18, within 24 hours: According to the official explanation of ESA (Euro

French and American scientists attempted to explain the unusual results of observations that were made in the atmosphere of the planet Venus by the mission of Soviet astronauts (station "Vega-2")

David Buckley, an astronomer from South Africa, told RIA Novosti about the rediscovery of the most amazing star of the Milky Way, discovered by Soviet scientists back in the 1970s and turned out to be a battleground for two "space dwarfs", one of which is

Since then, as a person began to penetrate further and further into the immense distances of the Cosmos, the mystery of the structure and creation of the Universe is overgrown with new assumptions and guesses

Powerful lasers, already built on Earth, can be used to "illuminate" our planet and establish early contact with highly evolved aliens. This is the conclusion reached by scientists from MIT, who published an article in the Astrophysical Journal

You have already met similar analogies: atoms resemble solar systems, large-scale structures of the universe are similar to neurons in the human brain, and there are also curious coincidences: the number of stars in a galaxy, galaxies in the universe, atoms

What is needed for a detailed study of another planet, asteroid or comet? First, launch a spacecraft closer

For a long time, scientists assumed that the Universe was not the only one and theoretically several of them could arise during the Big Bang. And perhaps our universe could be part of an ever-expanding much larger entity

The "Death Star", into which the Sun will turn in a few billion years, most likely, will first destroy the Moon, and then - The earth

Holograms are perhaps among the most interesting "Flat" objects humans can create

Martian Olympus is three times taller than Earth's Everest, and its volume is 50 times that of any Earth's counterpart. Its caldera (depression at the top of the volcano) is 90 km. It is the largest young volcano on Mars. Olympus is visible even from Earth

Station Voyager 2 may have come close to the borders of the solar system, reports NASA. Scientists came to such conclusions after analyzing data from the scientific instrument CRS (Cosmic Ray Subsystem) of the spacecraft

Astrophysicist Frank Drake, who proposed the equation of the same name, which makes it possible to estimate the number of highly developed civilizations in the Universe, considers maps at Voyager stations, which indicate the location of the solar system, as a potential threat to humanity

NASA posted on its website a couple of visual animations showing the flight paths of the Voyager spacecraft. Here is a video dedicated to Voyager 1. Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 - two weeks after Voyager 2

NASA confirmed: the second spacecraft went into interstellar space.Interstellar - traveling in interstellar space - so now you can call the Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched from Earth 42 years ago. He left not only the solar system, but the heliosphere - a kind of bubble formed by particles of solar matter scattering in different directions

Universe - this is an amazing place, and thanks to science, we are learning more and more incredible things about its structure. When one of the following theories about our existence appears, many of us perceive them with a certain amount of skepticism

The second earth apparatus leaves the solar system. On the border of two worlds NASA reported a sharp change in the environment surrounding the Voyager 2 probe (Voyager 2), which, in their opinion, indicates that it is leaving the solar system

In order to find aliens as early as possible, in the last century, a number of scientific specialists launched messages with the coordinates of the Earth, installed on various spacecraft

Like the reflection in the water of a mountain on the shore of a lake, our universe could one day have a perfect mirror image. This conclusion was made by scientists from Canada, extrapolating the laws of the universe for periods of time both after and before the Big Bang

The Big Bang theory was called into question after scientists discovered a star that seems older than the universe itself - and this could lead to a "scientific crisis."The universe is believed to have originated about 13.8 billion years ago, when the infinitesimal point expanded in a fraction of a second

It is difficult to imagine a time, about 13.7 billion years ago, when the entire universe existed as a singularity.When you think about it, an even more complex question arises: what existed shortly before the big bang occurred?- Salik.bizThe question itself predates modern cosmology by at least 1600 years

The mind clings to the familiar. For example, we are used to all bodies falling down

There are many mysteries in the world, over which the brightest heads of mankind are still struggling. However, people have not yet been given an unequivocal answer to some things. One of these dilemmas is the famous Big Bang theory

In the beginning there was a question mark. And then everything else. The end. We've all heard about the Big Bang theory (I'm talking about the cosmological model now, not about the TV series), but it's important to understand what this theory is and what it isn't

Saturn - the sixth planet from the Sun and the farthest of the planets, which we can see from the Earth with the naked eye - famous for its beautiful rings

Of all the concepts and topics discussed, the Big Bang - the most controversial concept. Of course, this is a fairly old scientific theory, present since the 1940s, and since the 1960s, there has been a myriad of evidence to support it

How did our Universe appear and how does it actually work? Of course, there is an official scientific theory related to the Big Bang on this score, but who can guarantee that it is true

Jeff Hoffman hovered in the void of space, looked at our planet from above, with one glance scanned huge vortices and large cities. For five flights - including the first on the Hubble Telescope - Hoffman spent 1,211 hours of his life in space

I.N. NASA calculated the time of passage of Nibiru near the Earth - in early November 2017. Currently, the planet Nibiru is visible in many parts of the Planet. It reaches the size of the sun itself

An international team of astronomers has proven that the sun is likely to turn into a planetary nebula in the final stages of its existence

Planetologists calculated the possible chemical compositions of the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system and came to the conclusion that all of them, with the exception of one exoworld, are very similar to our planet in terms of the structure of their interior and atmosphere, according to an article directed to the public

No matter how smart and active the 20th century is, no matter how far out in space we fly, there is still no consensus of scientists on the question of how life originated. Life-giving material - carbon - the only base on which scientists rely
