It is thought by some physicists that both the beginning and end of the universe might be the same thing. A cyclical universe model called “conformal cyclic cosmology” has been proposed by Roger Penrose, the 2020 Nobel Prize-winning physicist. According to this view, the Big Bang came about from nearly nothing at all. The conformal […]

The Echoes of Creation: What the Cosmic Microwave Background Tells Us
Introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) What is the CMB? The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the residual thermal radiation from the Big Bang, the event that marked the beginning of the universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago. This radiation is a faint glow that fills the universe and can be detected in […]
Top 15 Stories of 2021 (The Galaxy Report)
There have been many stories involving space as of late due to the ever growing technology in the field. Some of the best stories to happen happened in 2021. One of the articles was asking if the universe is actually fractal. We see many patterns repeat themselves from quantum scale all the way to the […]
The Quest for FTL: How Close Are We to Faster-Than-Light Travel?
Introduction to Faster-Than-Light (FTL) Travel Defining FTL Travel Faster-Than-Light (FTL) travel refers to the theoretical concept of moving or transmitting information at speeds exceeding that of light in a vacuum, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, as an object approaches the speed of […]
Living Among the Stars: The Science Behind Space Colonization
Introduction to Space Colonization Definition and Scope Space colonization refers to the establishment of permanent human habitats outside Earth. This concept encompasses a wide range of activities, including the construction of space stations, lunar bases, and settlements on other planets and celestial bodies. The scope of space colonization extends beyond mere exploration; it involves […]
This exoplanet has metal rain and 2,400C temperatures
Exoplanets are the term used to describe planets that orbit bodies other than our own sun. These celestial entities have temperatures that range to such phenomenal heights that the intense heat quite literally rips apart some of the molecules in their atmospheres. These uber-hot exoplanets are also sometimes called ultra-hot Jupiters, because they resemble the […]
Cosmic Inflation: Exploring the Rapid Expansion of the Early Universe
Introduction to Cosmic Inflation Definition and Concept Cosmic inflation refers to a theory in physical cosmology that proposes a period of extremely rapid exponential expansion of the universe during its very early moments, specifically within the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang. This theory was introduced to address several unresolved issues […]
Life on Mars search could be misled by false fossils
Searching for signs of life, whether current, or fossilized, has been a NASA mission for sometime now. Recently, data culled by expeditions to the planet Mars has proven problematic vis a vis this goal. The problem is that certain seemingly useful specimens found on the red planet may in fact not be fossils at all. […]
Astronomer: We Can’t Just Assume Countless Earths Out There
The question of existence of planets similar to ours is something that is becoming more and more significant as we explore possibilities of inhabiting a planet that could sustain our life. For many scientists, the existence of our planets is not significant. Others point out that this question is highly philosophical, as it is impossible […]
Fusion Propulsion: Harnessing the Power of the Stars for Space Exploration
Introduction to Fusion Propulsion What is Fusion Propulsion? Fusion propulsion is a cutting-edge technology that aims to harness the immense energy produced by nuclear fusion reactions for space travel. Nuclear fusion is the process of combining atomic nuclei to release vast amounts of energy, a phenomenon that powers the sun and other stars. By […]
