Before the appearance of the moon, our planet had to experience many catastrophes that led to the emergence of unstable and short-lived satellites. Of all the versions of the origin of the moon, the impact hypothesis is the most authoritative

Buzz Aldrin, the second astronaut to land on the moon, said the first colonies could appear on Mars as early as 2040. He said that this planet has a huge potential for colonization, although its atmosphere is toxic

In 26 years, or rather on February 5, 2040, our planet may disappear due to the fall of the 150-meter asteroid 2011 AG5, scientists from NASA made such a sensational statement

Planetologists from France and Mexico have shown that there are bubbling seas on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. A related study published in the journal Nature Astronomy

Earth - a unique cradle of all living things. Protected by its atmosphere and magnetic field, we can not think about radiation threats, except those that we create with our own hands

NASA experts have confirmed the existence of vinyl cyanide in the atmosphere of Titan - a compound that may be a component of cell membranes in microorganisms, possibly living in the methane oceans of Saturn's moon

The most detailed map of Titan's surface has been compiled - she showed that the seas and largest lakes of Saturn's moon are connected by a network hidden below the surface and can maintain a common "sea level"

Conditions on Titan look more and more promising for life to exist. Now a substance has been found in its atmosphere that can serve as a material for the construction of cell membranes

The absence of visible traces of tectonics on the surface of Titan does not allow us to consider this moon of Saturn the closest analogue of the Earth, and brings it closer to Mars, where geological processes faded in the distant past, planetologists say in an article published in Zhu
