Secrets of space 2024, May

Space tourism - the idea is not new

Head of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University Abraham Loeb and his colleague Manasvi Lingam (USA) estimated the time when a superflare, destructive for human civilization, would break out on the Sun

American scientists have calculated when a superflare, destructive for human civilization, will break out on the Sun. They used geological and astronomical data on similar events that took place on the Sun and other stars

"Just a few months after the launch of ELF, we will know if there is life on the nearest exoplanet!" - said in a statement by the authors of the project

On board the International Space Station, which orbits our planet, astronauts and astronauts conduct various scientific studies and experiments to understand how the long-term effects of zero gravity, as well as space radiation, affect living organisms

Now childbirth in space is incredible, but after the first flight to Mars in 2033 and the beginning of colonization of exoplanets, procreation in space will become real

Let's say the future has come and humanity has managed to populate Mars and settle down there. What would a Martian colonist look like thousands of years later? Would his appearance be different from that of an earthling?Scientists say that prolonged residence on the Red Planet, where gravity and sunlight are weaker than on Earth, and radiation is much stronger, will lead to rapid evolutionary changes

One of the most famous theories of Stephen Hawking about dark matter has been shaken after the publication of the results of a Japanese team of astrophysicists led by Masahiro Takada of the Physics and Mathematics Institute of the Universe in Kavli, Live Science reports

The satellites launched by the Starlink project to provide global high-speed Internet access could complicate astronomical observations with ground-based radio telescopes. In such conditions, scientists can only hope for the construction of radio telescopes on the far side of the moon

There are enough paradoxes in the structure of the solar system. The main ones are the angles of inclination of the planets to the ecliptic plane and the direction of rotation of the planets:- Salik.bizAnother oddity is the distribution of the types of planets in our system: dense stone planets, then giant planets, followed by small Uranus and Neptune with a dense gas envelope, and then many dwarf planetoids

The universe is full of mysteries, and explanations are sometimes crazier than observations. And if at times it seems that decisions are literally taken out of the hat, hypotheses and theories always rely on cold, hard science

The scale of space does not fit into the head. He's great. Very large. Why is there - just incredibly huge

The big bang, the formation of the universe, singularity and contraction are an unceasing topic of scientific controversy. And that's great. Because in this way they seek not only the truth, but also implement numerous theories.Now we have yet another theory of the point in time before the Big Bang, coming from a team of respected researchers in Canada and Egypt

Before the outstanding physicist of our time Stephen Hawking left this world, he managed to leave his last scientific work - his latest theory of the nature of the universe, which he co-authored with his Belgian colleague Thomas Herto

We explain in simple language what Stephen Hawking is cool and what his discoveries mean for the world. The theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who died at the age of 77, was by far the most famous and popular scientist of our time

At the end of February, the Chandra, MWA and GMRT radio telescopes, as well as one of the ESA radio telescopes, registered a powerful explosion in a supermassive black hole in the Ophiuchus cluster, located 390 million light years from Earth

A laboratory-created analogue of a black hole has provided new circumstantial evidence that these mysterious cosmic objects do emit gas streams of charged particles, Science Alert reports, citing a new scientific study published in the journal Nature

The famous scientist who proved the theory of black holes and left many works on the origin and evolution of the Universe, radically changing the ideas that existed before him about our world in science, gave a complete denial of paradise in his posthumous work

A group of Japanese scientists have refuted Stephen Hawking's theory of the nature of dark matter. Research reported by Science Alert

What did Stephen Hawking want to tell us in his latest book? I would like to speculate a little about the development of life in the Universe and, in particular, about the development of intelligent life

Researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot (Israel) reported that they were able to create stimulated Hawking radiation in the laboratory

I love space. I am very glad that people are exploring space, and I am even satisfied that the Americans want to return to the moon. Space is a vast frontier of scientific discoveries that are waiting in the wings; we have a chance to explore the mysteries of the universe and learn more about ourselves

A space accident is predicted by experts monitoring the movement of near-earth debris.It is highly likely that on January 30, 2020 at 2:39 pm Moscow time (January 29, at 23:39:35 UTC) one American satellite will crash into another. At an altitude of about 900 kilometers, the failed IRAS space telescope, launched back in 1983, and the very ancient spy satellite GGSE-4 - aka 1967-053G or Poppy 5, which was launched into orbit in 1967 to track Soviet radar installations

What is a quantum computer and what does it consist of? Not all computers are entitled to such a name. Why this is so and why such installations are needed, explains Christopher Monroe, professor at the University of Maryland and one of the leading players in the global "quantum race"

The reality is not at all as simple as it may seem to us at times. Things that we take for granted and are completely sure of the truth can be completely opposite

The fact that we live in some kind of virtual reality, artificially created by someone, is thought by many scientists and even ordinary people with heightened awareness

Last fall, one of the brightest stars in the sky, Betelgeuse, began to fade dramatically. This gave rise to talk about its imminent explosion and danger to the Earth. However, in February, the shine began to return. Now the star shines as before

How sure can we be that the universe is real and not a simulation of life? Is what we see and feel around us real life, or do we exist within some kind of computer simulation?How can we know, let alone be sure that we are not "bots" in a software product run by players?

Perhaps we live in a hologram? Perhaps the holographic level of the world is the next step of endless evolution? Is there a "shadow universe" in which our bodies exist in a compressed two-dimensional form?The main provisions of the holographic principle were formulated in the middle of the 20th century by David Bohm, a student of Albert Einstein

There is a hypothesis that our Universe is a matrix and, in simple terms, we live in a fake world, but in a simulated reality.A similar version of the universe was suggested by Michelle Thaller Thaler, who is a NASA employee and assistant director of scientific communications

If we turn to the anomalous zones of the Earth, of which there are a lot on the planet, and take into account that there is practically no mysterious phenomenon occurring in them (disappearance of people, the appearance of mystical creatures, violation of physical laws, and so on)

For technically advanced and intelligent beings to inhabit a single celestial body is like “keeping all eggs in one basket” or all savings in the securities of one corporation. Any large-scale accident can quickly devalue stocks or make the planet uninhabitable, extinguishing the fragile light of meaningful life - perhaps the only one in the entire universe.It

Prolonged life in space en route to Mars will make the ship's crew more prone to panic attacks and amnesia due to how cosmic rays will affect the transmission of signals in their brains. Scientists who have published the results of experiments on mice in the journal eNeuro write about this

Our celestial companion Moon is considered the closest space object to Earth, but it has not yet been studied. It is this fact that scientists consider a big omission

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, recently opened a virtual discussion on Reddit

Throughout the history of the existence of astronautics, 6,000 spacecraft were sent to near-earth orbits of different heights

All life forms on our planet came from distant stars through meteors, comets and cosmic dust containing extraterrestrial bacteria and viruses

A new explanation for the Fermi paradox links the absence of traces of other civilizations with the difficulties of moving from star to star and long waiting for a suitable trajectory.The Milky Way may be the home of many highly developed civilizations of intelligent beings, they just visit us too rarely

The unimaginable size of the Universe has long made scientists believe in an almost endless abundance of worlds inhabited in it. If so, where is everything?

Billions and billions of planets, but we have not yet come into contact with any aliens
