Confirmation of loss of contact with Voyager 2, currently approximately 21 billion kilometers from Earth. On July 21, commands sent from Earth to Voyager 2 accidentally caused Voyager’s High Gain Antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. Therefore Voyager cannot currently receive messages from Earth or send messages in the direction of Earth. A…
The Manhattan Project nicknamed the Trinity Test was the most top secret nuclear test conducted by the United States. The movie Oppenheimer was released about it.Only a handful of people knew about it…after the test America dropped the nuclear bomb on Japan. But after this trinity test there was another group in this world who…
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…
Scientists have known about this extremely rare tree for decades, but did not have any genetic material to describe it. In 2005 a couple of botanists collected seeds from a tree in Jamari National Forest, a ancient tropical forest in the Amazon. They took the seeds and planted them and waited for one to flower….
This is Planet WASP 127B! It is a distant gas giant located about 525 light-years from Earth. WASP-127b is like any other giant planet: it is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium. What to do when the gases are hot? They are evolving. Like a hot air balloon, the WASP-127b became the softest known…
The flying giant Peterosaurs, which coexisted with the dinosaurs, does not belong to the category of birds and bats. Can be replaced with flying reptiles. These are the first flying vertebrates. That is, after a long debate, scientists say that peterosaurs, dinosaurs, and crocodiles evolved from another common genus (from Archosaurs). The flying giant Quetzalcoatlus…
Today’s the first launch since Somnath became chairman. Three payloads are currently in orbit, including the EOS-04 Observatory satellite and two satellites, INSPIREsat-1 and INS-2TD.
Another private satellite has detected and sent images of a Chinese spacecraft stalling, capturing another spacecraft and launching it into the deadly orbit of a spacecraft 300 km away. The Chinese spacecraft SJ21 captured another stationary satellite, the Compass G2, and destroyed its orbit. The incident took place on January 22 Elon Musk fills space…
IC 63 — nicknamed the Ghost Nebula — is about 550 light-years from Earth. The nebula is classified as both a reflection nebula — as it is reflecting the light of a nearby star — and as an emission nebula — as it releases hydrogen-alpha radiation. Both effects are caused by the gigantic star Gamma…
Well, here’s a close-up image of the Andromeda Galaxy – each dot is a star This image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, the largest and sharpest image ever taken from the Andromeda Galaxy. The full image contains 1.5 billion pixels and spans over 600 HD television screens. Astronomers estimate that the Andromeda Galaxy…
