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 […]
astrophysics
Taming Gravity is all about the possibility through science and technology to harness gravity. If we accomplish this we will then have the means to travel to the stars.
Of course, to do this will involve knowledge of astrophysics.
So, here at Taming Gravity we include inspiring news and breakthroughs happening in the field of astrophysics.
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 […]
Saturn’s weird moon Titan looks a bit like Earth, and scientists might finally know why
Titan is a moon on Saturn that looks a little bit like Earth and scientists have finally gotten a hypothesis as to why. When it comes to Titan, instead of having a majority of water like Earth, they are made of liquid methane. The theory that the scientists came up with is that sintering, wind […]
A Fully Aligned Webb Space Telescope Sees a Field of Stars
The web telescope is almost up and running, and soon it will be seeking out exoplanets that may be habitable for humans. Already, here are some pretty fantastic test images from the telescope to check out. With the mirrors fully aligned, the telescope is ready to start receiving light from the far edges of the […]
Astrophysicists may be on the brink of a massive alien breakthrough
Through the use of technosignatures, such as atmospheric pollution, radio signals, and spacecraft activity, scientists could make connections to an alien civilization far from Earth. Compared to biological clues, technological clues can be considered more common and easier to detect. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have found that the search for intelligent life in other […]
The Mechanics of Launching: A Deep Dive into Space Elevator Technology
Introduction to Space Elevator Technology Definition and Concept A space elevator, also known as a space bridge, star ladder, or orbital lift, is a proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system. The primary component of a space elevator is a cable, or tether, anchored to the Earth’s surface near the equator and extending into space. […]
Blasting out Earth’s location with the hope of reaching aliens is a controversial idea – two teams of scientists are doing it anyway
While it is a controversial idea, there are two teams of scientists that are sending Earth’s location out into space with the goal of getting into contact with aliens. Astronomers and scientists believe that there are potentially up to 300 million different habitable worlds in the Milky Way. They also believe there is a pretty […]
Two teams of scientists are preparing to send a message to aliens
There are two different teams out there that are currently preparing to send a message to aliens who might be out there in space. The messages are going to be sent by the largest radio telescope in the world. The telescope has a diameter of 1,640 feet and sends radio pulses over the sky. The […]
Energy of the Void: Uncovering the Mystery of Dark Energy
Introduction to Dark Energy What is Dark Energy? Dark energy is a mysterious and pervasive form of energy that is believed to constitute approximately 68% of the total energy content of the universe. Unlike ordinary matter and dark matter, dark energy does not clump together in galaxies or clusters but is uniformly distributed throughout […]
