Bennu is one of those asteroids that astronomers must always keep an eye on. Measuring 262.5 meters in its radius, the asteroid is far from being a “global killer” from the Armageddon movie released in 1998. But still, you would ...
It might sound incredible, but there are still a lot of people out there who believe that our world is not a sphere-shaped planet. Those conspiracy theorists firmly believe that NASA and all the other space agencies are lying to ...
Titan stands out as the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite from our Solar System after Ganymede. But that’s not all when it comes to Titan. Saturn’s moon is the only known space object except for Earth ...
Whether we like it or not, our Solar System is a pretty active place. The eight planets and the dwarf planet Pluto are far from representing the only space objects that are present. Asteroid 2021 PH27 is one of those ...
There had always been interesting mysteries revolving around planet Saturn. Why is the space object made almost entirely of gases? Why does it have those iconic and beautiful rings? Why is it so huge in the first place? Why does ...
Look closely at the night sky with the naked eye for a few nights in a row. What do you see? If you didn’t see any meteors, you’ve been unlucky. Relatively small space rocks enter our atmosphere every day. Most ...
When we hear about radio waves and other kinds of signals coming from space, the first thing that pops into the mind is that aliens are trying to “wave” at us. The exciting and funny thing is that we have ...
Not even all the money in the world will save you from death. Everybody dies, and in the end, there will be no trace of human beings on Earth. Our planet will become a total wasteland or even completely shattered, ...
Can anything live on Venus? Of course, the planet has scorching temperatures, a crushing atmospheric pressure, and so on, but it’s still one of the few rocky planets from our Solar System. The presence of the phosphine gas in the ...
The planet Jupiter has always been a conundrum for astronomers, and even today, there are more things to learn about it. Except from being the biggest and fastest spinning planet from our Solar System, as well as a world made ...
Even though astronomers are taking more and more seriously the idea to move to Mars in the next decades, humanity still has a lot more to learn about our neighbouring planet. Back in 2018, scientists discovered another incredible thing about ...
If we take a look at the recent astronomical advancements and what many scientists want, building a little colony on Mars should be a feasible project for the next decades. China now joins the list of countries that are planning ...
Our Solar System’s heliosphere has never looked so great! Thanks to a team of astronomers, we now have the first-ever 3D map of the Solar System’s boundaries. This discovery could help us get a better image of our Solar System’s ...
Space has sent to our planet a rare isotope of iron for the last 33,000 years. This thing is intriguing yet curious, mainly because scientists found radioactive dust underneath the ocean waves. That indicates how Earth is travelling through a ...
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is known for its incredible space shots, and the last one is no exception! Recently, Hubble returned to the Veil Nebula to capture it like never before. The new image highlights the nebula’s intriguing features in ...
Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, is more than meets the eye. Deep buried secrets await now to be discovered, but the challenge is tougher than previously believed. According to a new paper, Enceladus’ ocean currents might be similar to those on our ...
Planet 9 has stirred quite the buzz back in 2016. Astronomers discovered it just at the far edges of our solar system, beyond Neptune. Recently, researchers have found no proof of trans-Neptunian cosmic feature clustering as part of an attempt ...
A team of scientists from the LLNL (the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) decided to reconstruct the original Solar System. As the Solar System was born, one of the most massive planets (Saturn and Jupiter) developed really quickly. And as they ...
So far, astronomers amazed us with many fantastic discoveries, including one of the most intriguing stars and planet systems. Every system is unique and moving, but the star HD 158259 will leave in awe. The star is a bit larger ...
