The idea of a flat Earth, while it has gained some attention in recent years, is a notion that contradicts centuries of scientific evidence and observation. From the way we navigate our world to the very principles of physics that govern celestial bodies, there are compelling reasons why Earth must be a sphere rather than…
“A comet last visible during the Stone Age has appeared for the first time over Stonehenge” When Halley comet arrived in 1066, people thought the world was doomed. Little did they know about the wonders of the sky, and they thought it was a bad omen. Just like Hailey’s comet, which turns up every 76…

New Horizons came within 3,500 kilometers of 2014 MU69 on New Year Day. The New Horizons Spacecraft of NASA had a closer look at the Ultima Thule on 1st January 2019. This was a historic moment for humanity as it is now the most distant object ever explored by us. The official name of this…
Voyager 2 has become the second probe to break through the Heliopause. One of the most popular explorers of our age, Voyager 2, was launched on 20th August 1977 with the intentions of studying the outer planets. However, it exceeded all the expectations (just like its twin Voyager 1) and entered the interstellar space on…
For the first time ever since its discovery in the 1960s, researchers have been able to describe an Aurora, physically. Aurora is a natural light that can, predominantly, be seen in the skies of the high-latitude regions of the Earth. They are produced when charged particles (protons and electrons) from the solar wind and Magnetospheric…
A new video by Absolute Knowledge is now on! It’s been a long journey until here. Mankind is the result of 13.8 billion years of evolution. This video shows the process of creating, from the big bang, to the future. When we think of 13.8 billion years it may seem an eternity, but in the…
The Dawn Mission revolutionized the field of Planetary Science through its breathtaking imagery and engineering feats. Dawn was launched by NASA in September 2007 with the intentions of studying 2 of the 3 known protoplanets (Ceres and Vesta) of the asteroid belt. The launch was executed from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station as a…
The rotation theory of the universe suggests that if the sun shall rise tomorrow, it may just be a fraction late. Since the Earth came into being some 4.6 billion years ago, every day it spins once around its axis just like the rising and setting of the Sun. This will continue to happen till…
A rock formation process known as the Medusae Fossae Formation is the source of all the dust we get at the red planet. Our solar system comprises of eight planets but none of them has the same quality as the other. If one planet has the ability to retain life, other has such an extreme…
The combination of SPHERE and the Very Large Telescope discovered a forming planet in its youth. Space has been surprising us ever since we started exploring it. Entities like Nebulas, Black Holes, and Exoplanets have a nag of amazing us with their mysteries and secrets. Scientists are always trying to unveil more and more information…
New Horizons is up and ready for making some more revelations as it flies towards the Ultima Thule. NASA launched an interplanetary space probe, called New Horizons, as a part of the New Frontiers Program. As it was assigned the task of exploring the Pluto System, a lot of complications were attached to it. Alan…
An asteroid is found in the outskirts of our solar system that is believed to be formed billions of years ago. Our solar system was much different in its early days. An international team of scientists investigated the solar system of that time by making use of ESO telescopes and different theoretical models. They concluded…
Exoplanets are heavenly bodies beyond our solar system where life could be possible. The search for signs of life in the outside world took humans beyond our solar system and a lot of planets, orbiting different stars, were found there. They are called Exoplanets as they are located outside our solar system. They come in…
Is Earth the only Place where Aurora Borealis can take place? Earth has recently experienced quite a lot of interesting events. Northern lights is right up there in the list as it raised many questions straightway after its first sight. They are also known as Aurora Borealis. The first question to answer here is, what…
Does the firmament really exist? The belief that Earth is round is about 2500 years old when ancient Greeks developed this point of view. They had no technology at that time to fly in the space and observe the shape of the planet. They based this claim on a vague yet simple argument that as…
Jupiter has Great Red Spot. Did you know that Neptune has also one? It is black! Neptune has had a series of dark spots and the first one that was discovered by the scientists came along in 1989. This dark spot is famously known as Great Dark Spot and was formed in Southern Hemisphere of…
If you are passionate about astronomy and the universe, you should know these things. Surely you have not learned all details about our Solar System. Today we will review, with a clip made by the National Geographic team, the most important details about our solar system, which every human should know about. From the center…
Does it ever happened that when you drink a glass of water, to think it may be older than our planet? Well, a new study suggests that 50% of the Earth’s water might be older not only than the planet, but the Solar System itself. An experiment led by Ilse Cleeves, at the University of…
Vice President Mike Pence Says NASA’s Going Back to the Moon. “We will return American astronauts to the moon, not only to leave behind footprints and flags, but [also] to build the foundation we need to send Americans to Mars and beyond,” Pence said on October 5 at the first meeting of the newly reinstated National Space…
An unexpected Massive Solar Storm hit Mars. A solar storm was hitting Mars on September 11, being one of the most unexpected storms recorded until now. It is known that Sun’s magnetic poles flip every 11 years, and the period between these events is known as the solar cycle. On this period the Sun…
“We are prepared to send humans on Mars” Elon Musk’s plan is to build a giant rocket that could send humans to Mars and possibly to the Moon just by 2024. “This will enable the creation of a lunar base. It’s 2017. We should have a lunar base by now. What the hell’s going…
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…
Spacecraft called New Horizonts, launched on January 19, 2006 on the way to Pluto, reached the orbit of the dwarf planet in July of 2015 after a very long journey for about 9 years and five billion kilometers. This spacecraft traveled with an astonishing speed of 16.21 kilometers per second, which is unimaginable for a body…
The human planet, as you know it… shrouded with blue color, full of life, maybe the only place that sustain life in the universe… We are here and the future of our planet is in big danger. Maybe you didn’t know that. Because media doesn’t always want to share with you the truth in its…
