Introduction Overview of Interplanetary Missions Interplanetary missions have long been a cornerstone of humanity’s quest to understand the cosmos. These missions involve sending spacecraft to other planets, moons, and celestial bodies within our solar system to gather data, conduct experiments, and explore unknown terrains. From the early flybys of the 1960s to the sophisticated orbiters, […]
Scientists discover ‘superionic ice,’ a new form of water may lurk inside alien planets
Scientific research dealing with phenomena on celestial bodies and distant planets is almost guaranteed to yield interesting results. The newest experiment exposed a droplet of water squeezed between diamonds to an extremely powerful laser, which brought the temperature of water to the levels found on some stars. The result was a new water phase, very […]
8 Native American Scientists You Should Know
The contributions of indigenous people to the American society are not widely published and very few people are familiar with individual accomplishments.

Introduction to Black Holes and Event Horizons What is a Black Hole? A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape from it. This phenomenon occurs when a massive star collapses under its own gravity, compressing its mass into an infinitely small […]
“Alien” invasions and the need for planetary biosecurity
When we explore space, we expose ourselves and our planet to the risk of an invasion. However, when we talk about this risk, we are not really thinking about some alien life form attacking humans. We are considering contamination on a microbiological level that can threaten our species, both animal and plants. The danger is […]
Wormholes could serve as stable conduits through space after all
At the basic level, the concept of a wormhole sounds simple enough. You need to connect a couple of black holes and the connection between them is a tunnel which can serve as a passageway for travelers through space. The idea itself is not new at all, and even Einstein considered its theoretical foundation. Recently, […]
