The Joint European Torus, or JET, is a reactor that beat the world record for the amount of energy released by nuclear fusion on Earth, with the plasma in the reactor clocking in at 59 megajoules’ worth of energy. Scientists are studying nuclear fusion, which is the nuclear reaction that takes place in stars, and […]

The Dark Side of the Cosmos: What is Dark Matter?
Introduction to Dark Matter What is Dark Matter? Dark matter is a mysterious and invisible form of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it undetectable by conventional telescopic means. Despite its elusive nature, dark matter is believed to constitute approximately 27% of the universe’s total mass and energy content. Unlike […]
UFOs Explained – The Dilemma
With approximately 200 to 300 billion stars in our galaxy, the odds of intelligent life out there are very high. But the galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter and it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. It’s possible to imagine really advanced civilizations could possess the technology to traverse these […]
From Dust to Galaxies: The Life Cycle of Cosmic Structures
Introduction to Cosmic Structures The Vastness of the Universe The universe is an almost incomprehensibly vast expanse, stretching over 93 billion light-years in diameter. It contains billions of galaxies, each with millions or even billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects. This immense scale challenges our understanding and imagination, making the study of […]
Predicting the Cosmos: AI Algorithms for Advanced Astronomical Research
Introduction to AI in Astronomy The Intersection of AI and Astronomy Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an indispensable tool in the field of astronomy, revolutionizing the way researchers analyze and interpret vast amounts of data. The integration of AI into astronomical research allows scientists to sift through enormous datasets generated by sky surveys and […]
The Expanding Universe: Insights into Cosmic Acceleration
Introduction to Cosmic Acceleration Understanding the Expanding Universe The concept of an expanding universe is fundamental to modern cosmology. It posits that the universe has been growing ever since the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This expansion is not like an explosion from a central point but rather a stretching of space […]
Breakthrough in the nonlinear generation of primordial gravitational waves
It has always been hard to measure gravitational waves especially in the beginning of the universe. We have just recently discovered a way to do it. This new breakthrough from China and Japan have discovered old gravitational waves in high energy physics when the universe was born. It was found by a phenomenon and then […]
The Warp and Weft of the Universe: Space-Time Explained
Introduction to the Fabric of the Universe Understanding Space-Time The concept of space-time is fundamental to our understanding of the universe. Introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of General Relativity, space-time merges the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single, four-dimensional continuum. This framework allows us to […]
Awaiting the Unknown: Societal Implications of Promised Extraterrestrial Contact
Introduction Setting the Stage: The Promise of Extraterrestrial Contact The concept of extraterrestrial contact has long fascinated humanity, capturing the imagination of scientists, philosophers, and the general public alike. From ancient myths and legends to modern science fiction, the idea that we are not alone in the universe has been a persistent theme. The […]
This ‘UFO’ rover could hover on the moon and asteroids one day
A new levitating rover is in the works. MIT is currently looking for ways to engineer a new hovercraft that can move without air. Many planets do not have an atmosphere meaning that there is no air on the planet. The team currently working on the concept have it shaped like an circular UFO. After […]
