Have We Already Been Visited by Aliens? On October 19, 2017, a Canadian astronomer named Robert Weryk was reviewing images captured by a telescope known as Pan-starrs1 when he noticed something strange, an aliens. The telescope is situated atop Haleakalā, a ten-thousand-foot volcanic peak on the island of Maui. It scans the sky each night,…
At a fundamental level, nobody knows whether gravity is truly quantum in nature. A novel experiment strongly hints that it is. Three of our fundamental forces of nature — the electromagnetic and strong and weak nuclear forces — known to be quantum in nature. However, the oldest known fundamental force, gravity, has only been shown…
China builds ‘artificial moon’ for gravity experiment The artificial moon is housed in a vacuum chamber, despite the fact that it is only 60 centimetres in diameter compared to the actual moon’s 3,474.8 kilometres. China has established an artificial moon research centre that simulates low-gravity conditions to aid in the exploration of the satellite. According to…
There is so much about space, our solar system, and the galaxy that we still don’t know! Space is vast. With billions of galaxies and stars, and planets in our own solar system yet to be fully explored or understood, scientists’ knowledge of space is always evolving. There are, however, some really cool things we…
China has moon’s south pole in its sights with 3 missions launching this decade China has formally accredited three missions concentrating on the south pole of the moon. The primary to launch round 2024. The missions dubbed Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8 will launch throughout the 2020s. Every with completely different targets and…
Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is often referred to as Earths twin because both worlds share a similar size. Surface composition and have an atmosphere with a complex weather system to name a few. Many such interesting facts about earths neighboring planets, their satellites. The American space agency often posts amazing pictures and…
There is so much about space, our solar system, and the galaxy that we still don’t know! Space is vast. With billions of galaxies and stars, and planets in our own solar system yet to be fully explored or understood, scientists’ knowledge of space is always evolving. 1. SPACE IS COMPLETELY SILENT In space, no…
The Crew Dragon Endurance, which launched SpaceX’s four crewed flight for NASA on Wednesday (Nov. 10), linked up with the station’s U.S.-built Harmony module at 6:32 p.m. EST (2332 GMT) as both spacecraft sailed 263 miles (423 kilometers) above Eastern Caribbean. The spacecraft launched from pad 39A here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida less than…
Rain is precious at the best of times, but this is something else entirely. Scientists believe that on Jupiter and Saturn, it rains diamonds. New atmospheric data for the gas giants indicates that carbon is abundant in its dazzling crystal form, the BBC reports. Lightning storms turn methane into soot which hardens into chunks of graphite…
In September this year, the Chandrayaan-2 mission made for an international spectacle for its technological leap — before losing its Vikram lander. But its success came on the back of India’s first moon mission, Chandrayaan-1, which entered the lunar orbit exactly 11 years ago. For most of the 20th century, scientists thought the Moon’s surface was bone-dry. The…
