The asteroid between Mars and Jupiter was discovered in 1852 by the Italian astronomer Anibal de Gaspiris. He also named it Psyche, after the ancient Greek goddess. But recently, NASA came up with a mission to study this. Early studies showed that iron and nickel were the main metals found in psychics. Subsequent studies have…
A piece of rock with a diameter of only 370 meters is in a light collision probability course with our Earth. It will reach its closest orbit to Earth in 2029. This time the probability of a fall is low but again it will return to 2068. The Subaru (Japanese) Telescope made a worrying discovery….
Images taken by NASA’s Juno Orbiter from 8000 km above clearly show the shadow of Io, a satellite above Jupiter. The shadow of IO, about the same size as our moon, is only a small shadow above the globular giant Jupiter. This is an event similar to our solar eclipse. The eclipse is a small…
The “flash” of the impact was large enough to be seen through the telescope from Earth.The size of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is 16,350 km (April 2017). This spot is 1.3 times the size of Earth’s.There are other spots on Jupiter that are thousands of kilometers in diameter. Perhaps this “object” that might fall to…
A giant asteroid the size of a 32-story building passed close to Earth last week. None of the world’s leading astronomical, astronomical, and astronomical observatories, including NASA, have been able to detect it. It could not be detected by intense sunlight. The asteroid passed half the distance between the Earth and the Moon above ground…
The Buran Project was introduced by the Soviet Union in 1980 in response to the US space program. The Soviet Union spent about 20 billion rubles (275 million) on it. Construction of the Buran spacecraft began in 1980, and by 1984 the first full scale orbiter had been released. The Buran spacecraft was launched in…
On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 1990, Voyager 1 took a selfie with his camera back to Earth. This selfie should be remembered from the endless loneliness, 600 crore kilometers away from the earth. Our earth is smaller than a pixel in the image. When viewed from such a distance, the Earth appears as a tiny…
The meteorite is named Leonid because it appears to be a meteorite rising from the constellation Leo. . It is one of the most famous meteorites in the world. This meteorite appears in the vast sky at 100 to 200 meteors each year, with 15 to 20 meteors falling on Earth every hour. The Leonid…
The Rosetta was launched by the European Space Agency on March 2, 2004. Philey was the lander in it.Rosetta’s target is “67P / Churyumov – Gerasimenko”, a comet located 405 million kilometers from Earth. 67P / Churyumov – Gerasimenko, located in the Kuiper Belt, is a comet about 4 km in diameter. Between 1978 and…
