In these days of the conflict in Ukraine, economic instability, market crisis and high inflation, it is easy to forget that international scientific teams are continuing to work together on space research and exploration. Two cosmonauts from Russia will be going on a lengthy spacewalk today. Thanks to the technological advancements, we can watch the […]
Milky Way vs M87: EHT photos show 2 very different supermassive black holes
About three years ago, scientists were able to produce the first ever image of a black hole by using a telescope that is the size of the Earth. They’ve figured out a way to do it again, but this one is even closer to Earth. There are hundreds of scientists involved in this project and […]
Time travel could be possible, but only with parallel timelines
The possibility of travelling through different time periods has been something that humans found fascinating since the ancient eras. The question is looked at from different aspects, from physics and science to philosophy and religion. If such endeavor was possible, then there would have to be timelines that are parallel. The whole idea would also […]
Hubble Find Provides Key to Early Supermassive Black Holes
Hubble is one of the greatest sources of our cosmic knowledge. This powerful telescope is enabling us to spot different object and landscape on distant celestial bodies, giving us better understanding of mechanisms that govern the space. One of the newest pieces of information could potentially shed some new light of the creation of black […]
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope: The ultimate guide
The James Webb Telescope is the most powerful and largest space science telescope in the world and cost $10 billion. The purpose of the telescope is to help uncover the history of the universe whether it be the start of the Big Bang to planets that have been potentially formed by aliens. The Telescope took […]
Strange Mars rock type points to extremely violent volcanic eruptions
Spacecraft missions that we are sending to Mars provide great insight in the conditions that reign on this planet, and the way it was created. Recently, a rock that was identified on the planet points out that the landscape on Mars was significantly affected by volcanoes. Series of violent eruptions resulted in ashy material, one […]
Our Efforts to Find Alien Life Have Gone Nowhere. This New Strategy Could Change That.
The human race has failed in its quest to find alien life, however, a new study has revealed that new technology could help us. This new technology could help direct our attention to where alien life exists outside of Earth. The technology is called S.E.T.I. and it could be the key to helping us find […]
