The construction of the world’s largest, most powerful, and most sensitive optical telescope is in progress. Manufacturers are the European Southern Observatory (USO). The Etxremely Large Telescope (ELT), built in collaboration with 15 European countries, is located on top of Mount Zero Armason in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Located at an altitude of 3060…
A space suit is the equivalent of a small spacecraft. The main purpose of the space suit is to protect the astronaut from the heat, pressure and ultraviolet rays of space. It can also block particles traveling at 18,000 miles per hour. It has all the mechanisms to sustain life in space, including oxygen for…
The Large Ultra Violet Optical Intraframed Surveyor (LUVIOR) is the true successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Like the Hubble Space Telescope, this telescope can produce images of the universe in visible light and ultraviolet, infrared and wave bands. The primary mirror of the 15 meter diameter Louvre is six times larger than the mirror…
Mariner was the first spacecraft to be launched to study Mercury on November 3, 1973Launched by NASA, this robotic spacecraft was the first spacecraft to fly over multiple planets. What is a fly-by or gravity assist? This is a technique used to increase the speed of an exploration vehicle when it is sent into space….
This karst spring is named as such due to its strong resemblance to an eye with the various shades of blue and turquoise when seen from above. It is formed by a hole of unknown precise depth, but is said to be apparently more than 300 ft deep. This small body of water is the…
Indian astronomers have developed an innovative method to study the atmosphere of exoplanets more clearly. New research suggests that planets orbiting other stars could be studied by studying the polarization of light from them. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics are behind the new study model. The new model was developed by Aritra Chakraborty,…
The earth is not the center of the universe Only the moon revolves around the earth All the planets orbit the sun The distance from the Earth to the Sun is negligible compared to the distance to the stars The stars seem to move due to the self-rotation of the earth The daily motion of…
NASA’s Artemis program aims to land humans on the moon to help carry out scientific and exploration missions to more places, including Mars. NASA’s project focuses on three key components that enable permanent human presence and research on the lunar surface: A lunar surface area vehicle (LTV) used to orbit the moon. Basically, it’s a…
The food was cooked in space for the first time in history. Tacos, a Mexican food, is made from chili grown at the space center itself. NASA revealed this on Friday. Plant Habitat – 04 The small spacecraft experiment at the International Space Station was named Plant Habitat-04. The U.S. space agency has revealed that…
