Juno took amazing shots of Jupiter The Spacecraft will gather science data and take close-up images every 53 days. During this flyby, Juno swooped to within 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) of the cloud tops of the planet. It is using these passes to study the planet in detail, with scientists hoping to figure out what…
We just were part of the biggest astronomical event of the year and here comes another one! A 4.4-kilometers sized asteroid will pass the Earth on the first days of September. “Florence” is the largest asteroid ever tracked by Jet Propulsion Laboratory. As it approaches in late August and early September, it is expected to…
A new target is set for New Horizons On 1st of January, 2019 New Horizons Spacraft is going to collect more details about 2014 MU69, a rock situated at the edge of our Solar System. 2014 MU69 has a diameter of 38km, orbiting the Sun at a distance 40 times greater than that between the…
Get out of the city and prepare yourself for what is coming this week-end We will experience, like every year, perseid meteor shower. Perseids can be observed every year on their maximum potential in a short period between 9 and 13 august. Usually we can see about 80 meteors per hour, but last year the…
Two years after New Horizons spacecraft crossed Pluto, NASA releases astonishing images. New Horizons went over the dwarf planet in 2015 and managed to capture some stunning photos. NASA made a clip based on these images, in the form of an impressive animation. Arrived at the edge of the solar system, we can see how…
Intense magnetism, intricate clouds and a potentially eroding core. These are the words for describing Jupiter Results from the Juno mission, published in Science and Geophysical Research Letters show us that the planet doesn’t work the way scientists thought it would. NASA’s Juno spacecraft got us closer to the giant planet than ever before when it entered…
10 new Earth-like planets have been discovered, out of 219 new cosmic objects. These 10 planets have the potential to support alien life. At a press conference and on the official website, NASA presented new discoveries of possible life-saving planets in our galaxy. They are the Kepler’s telescope work, within the K2 mission, the most…
Have you ever wonder how the nightsky will look like if instead our moon there will be another planet? Ron Miller questions what the night sky would look like if the moon was replaced by one of our solar system’s planets. He made a collection in which planets from our solar system replace Earth’s moon.…
What has made this mission impossible until now? The incredible temperature of the Sun. We know that the surface of the Sun has a temperature of 5,500 degrees Celsius, but the outside atmosphere reaches 1.9 million degrees Celsius. NASA announced on May 31 that for the first time in history, they will name a space…
Since 1918 we haven’t seen this cosmic spectacle Unfortunately the show is only over the U.S, when a total solar eclipse will race over the entire country. Actually it is the first time since 1918. Moon will completely cover the Sun and the day will become night for a few minutes. The path of the…
It looks very much like Jupiter and is hotter than many stars Located at a distance of 650 light years, the mysterious planet orbits around its Sun (KELT-9) leaving behind a ghostly tail similar to a comet. The planet lacks the revolution movement. This means one part of the planet is facing extreme radiation, and…
The China National Space Administration publicly released thousands of the mission’s stunning color photos. These photos didn’t had so much succes in Western media until now. On December 14, 2013, the lander and Yutu, its piggybacking rover, touched down on the moon’s northern Mare Imbrium—making China just the third country ever to perform a soft landing on…
What NASA has discovered has changed everything we knew about Jupiter The Juno spacecraft, which has a leading role in Jupiter’s investigation, presents the strange phenomenon that occur on Jupiter. If in August 2016 it showed us giant cyclones, a magnetic field and strange auroras of the planet, it now recorded strange sounds as he…
Ron Baalke announces that five meteorites will approach Earth 5 in the next period Baalke, working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (NASA), has posted on his Twitter account a list of the 5 cosmic objects that will come close to our planet in the nearly future. The first asteroid is called Object 2017…
Scientists say the solar system is only 10 light years away from us and it has an asteroid belt. Astronomers have noticed the new solar system using NASA’s SOFIA aircraft, a Boeing 747 equipped with a high-tech telescope, Science Daily said. It has plenty of resemblances to our solar system and, in addition, has one…
NASA just discovered today, thanks to Cassini Spacecraft, that the space between Saturn and its rings is actually empty. These good news will allow Cassini to travel its next 21 ‘immersions’ between Saturn and its rings without any problem. Until now the spacecraft was using it’s round antenna to protect itself from the dust. At…
The action took place today and it is part of the ‘Big Final’ mission of the Cassini spacecraft. NASA Spacecraft have successfully passed by the rings of Saturn and it sent us the first unprocessed images of what Saturn’s atmosphere looks like. The gap between the rings and the top of Saturn’s atmosphere is about…
Baby planet will be destroyed by its star At Rice University, a team of astronomers, in their search for universe’s youngest planets in the universe, finally found one, but that poor thing is formed in the wrong Solar System. This young planet is being slowly destroyed by its star. It has no way to escape…
Astronomers discovered a new planetary object at the edge of our Solar System and they named it Dee Dee (Distant Dwarf). The Mystrious object was discovered on 2016 but then we didn’t knew nothing about it’s physical structure. But now, Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) brought new data about this object which is much bigger…
NASA researchers claim on a press conference that they have discovered an essential element for life on Enceladus, Saturn’s moon: Hydrogen. This would mean a possible existence of extraterrestrial life. The Cassini evidence, which we discuss about in this article, detected hydrogen in Enceladus’s hydrothermal holes. “We are getting closer to discover a place that contains…
On April 19th, we’ll be witnessing a unprecedented phenomenon in the last 400 years. Asteroid ‘2014 JO25’ will come closer to Earth. Having a diameter of over a kilometer, it is the largest asteroid approaching our planet in the last 400 years. ‘2014 JO25‘ will reach the closest point to earth tomorrow and will pass at…
Eternety is a long time, especially towards the end. – Woodie Allen Since ancient times people have been curious to know how it could be the end of humanity. Although we assume that this happened several times, some are still wondering how could mankind find its final days? We went ahead and we wondered how…
Launched on October 15, 1997, after 20 years in space, Cassini Spacecraft is running out of fuel and it is ready for its grand finale. The spacecraft arrived on the Saturn’s orbit on June 30, 2004 (after a 7-years journey) and since then it amazed us with incredible photos of an unknown world, including Saturn…
The theory says that there have been a collision between two galaxies and the black holes of these galaxies began to gravitee around each other. The collision of two galaxies is resulting in the formation of a new one This phenomenon was observed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, and the mass of the black hole…
Since ancient times man tried to discover new things about his origin. Because it was not enough just to explore our planet, mankind has tried, using new technologies, to identify new clues and other locations except those located on our planet. Arsia Mons, the giant Martian shield volcano produced one new lava flow at its summit every…
Also called the red planet because we see it like that from Earth, Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and it’s named after the Roman god of war. 70,000 years ago, we started to conquer Eurasia from Africa. 50,000 years ago we arrived in Australia; 14,000 years ago – North America; 4,000 years…
On February 22, NASA has made a very important announcement in a press conference held in Washington: 3 planets with the size of the Earth have been discovered using Trappist telescope. The new discovered solar system named Trappist-1 (transiting planets and planetesimals small telescope), after the telescope that discovered these three planets, has a dwarf star located 40…
