Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun in our Solar System and by far the largest. It is composed mostly of gas and is about 2.5 times as massive as all the other planets combined. Therefore, it’s NOT surprising at all to see it make the category of planets, called the “gas giants”. Jupiter…

A balanced human diet must have a proper combination of all the essential nutrients ranging from Carbohydrates to Vitamins and from Fats to Water. Fitness is an essential part of a healthy life. There are a number of ways to stay fit but one thing that stays important in all instances is your diet. In…
A recent study, published in the journal ‘Nature Astronomy’, announced that a team of researchers has identified a tiny fragment of a comet inside LaPaz Icefield 02342. Science has yet again found something that may hold clues to the origin of our solar system. Researchers from the Carnegie Institution of Science have found a speck…
Scientists found some variations in the D/H and 13C/12C ratios on Phoebe. Despite the fact that none of us were here to observe the birth of our solar system, technological advancements and the desire to know more about the origin of life have enabled us to develop a model as to how all that happened.…
Catalytic Reduction of Carbon Dioxide can help us control the Greenhouse Effect. Greenhouse gases, like Carbon Dioxide, are the most dominant contributor to environmental pollution. These gases are spewed into our atmosphere on a regular basis from heavy industry, motor vehicles, and power plants. Considering the harmful effects of these gases, a lot of efforts…
The future missions to Mars get a massive lead about where to send the rovers to search for signs of life. Mars is the most popular candidate when it comes to finding an alternative habitat for humanity. The idea of making humans a multi-planetary species has grown widely in the recent past and different space…
The conditions for life surviving on planets, entirely covered in water, are more fluid than previously thought, opening up the possibility that water worlds could be habitable. Scientists thought that planets covered in a deep ocean would not support life assuming the absence of cycling of the minerals and gases keeping Earth’s climate stable. A…
A team of researchers reveals that a considerable amount of water is present deep inside the atmosphere of Jupiter. The chemical resemblance between Jupiter and the Sun makes it a key planet for understanding the formation of our solar system. More importantly, it will help humanity to learn more about the development of other solar…
Scientists claim that every glass of water contains almost 100% Jurassic pee. The non-renewable resources are being consumed at a rapid rate. This is an international issue and a lot of emphases is being given these days to shift our energy needs to the renewable forms. Similarly, the problem of clean, drinking water is another…
Can there be life if Earth was a few meters away from its Star? Scientists are looking alternate heavenly bodies which might support human life. There are numerous factors that are essential for declaring a place safe for human existence. Some of them are the presence of water, appropriate temperature, solar radiations, and a balanced…
Keeping our surroundings clean is an integral part of our nature and it keeps us healthy. Similarly, Nature has certain rights which need to be fulfilled in order to keep human life sustainable. We are utilizing the resources in as many ways as we can but we need to understand the importance of maintaining balance.…
Solar will become the biggest energy source by 2031, says Elon Musk. Renewable energy is the one that is extracted from renewable resources. These are replenished naturally on a human timescale. Sunlight, wind and geothermal heat are some common examples. We are heavily reliant on non-renewable sources of energy like coal, natural gas and oil.…
Does dust storms affect the climate change on Mars? Scientists have been trying to explore life on other planets for many years now, Mars being the hottest contender in this regard. Water is an essential component for the existence of life and that was the reason why our neighbour was chosen. The surface of the…
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…
Today we decided to show you an experiment that would distract your kids from ordinary things. So, what follows will show you how to realize a very simple experiment: Floating egg. This is based on principles of density of pure fresh water and salt water. If we put an egg into a glass which contains…
