It is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O’Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. O’Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids The Island Three design, better known as the O’Neill cylinder, consists…
Long march 5 can send 8.8 to 9.4 tons on a trans lunar injection. China already as a lunar capability that we haven’t even considered.
It’s not about anything else, it’s about an asteroid named ‘2003 SD220’ (2003 SD220). The asteroid was found 18 million miles away from Earth. This distance is seven times the distance between the earth and the moon. NASA compares the shape of the rock to a hippopotamus moving along a river. In 2018, the asteroid…
The scientific community is looking for a way to divert the asteroids that are targeting the Earth. As part of this, a defense system developed by NASA is preparing for its first test. The defense system is designed to crash into a spacecraft and change its direction. The test, scheduled for the 23rd of this…
All we see today is the atoms / molecules that formed during and after the Big Bang; What has happened to all of us, including the body, In short, we are the dust particles of some form of star. Isn’t that the beginning of all of us? Only total hydrogen and helium were created during…
The universe that we can see or react to is called the visible universe, or more strictly baryonic matter. It’s only about five percent of the universe. The branch of science that deals with its structure is called particle physics. In the early days, the earth was the center of the universe. Although we have…
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….
