As far as we know, the universe is made up of fundamental particles like electrons and quarks. Everything we see in the universe, including ourselves, is the result of interactions between these particles. Fundamental forces mean interactions of elementary particles. Four fundamental forces have been identified. They are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force…
Although we often see our sun as yellow, orange and red, we almost always think that the sun is yellow. Visible light is a very small narrow part of the electromagnetic waveguide. It contains all of these colors that our brain recognizes. The sun emits everything from this visible light to radio to gamma. Many…

Habex is a space telescope designed to detect terrestrial orbits around bright stars. (Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission-HabEx). Habex is looking for stars as bright as the sun. Planets in their habitable zone and the presence of water and methane on such planets will be examined. Water and methane are signs of life. Water is the…
