As of my last update in January 2022, over […]
Solar Orbiter and Parker solar probe are two programs by NASA intended to analyze the atmospheric situations at the Sun. What were the objectives of the Parker solar probe? NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe on its quest, along with the ESA solar orbiter, to investigate the Sun within close vicinity. The moniker Parker Solar […]
Astronomers have seen meteor-like streaks, the shooting stars on the sun’s surface that have never been seen before. However, it would help if you didn’t try to catch these falling stars. What was the scientist’s perspective on the discovery of shooting stars? “If humans were aliens who could live on the sun’s surface, we would […]
Looking far into space to analyze early universe timeline means peering back in time. The more distant the object, the earlier we see the Universe’s history. This is a way to see what the Universe was like shortly after the Big Bang. Einstein’s theory of relativity and Time’s slower movement Albert Einstein’s famous theory, […]
TRAPPIST-1 c Atmosphere’s Analysis A team of scientists from around the world used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to calculate the amount of heat energy emitted by TRAPPIST-1 c, a rocky exoplanet. The findings indicate that, if there is indeed an atmosphere, it is remarkably tenuous. TRAPPIST-1 c, with a dayside temperature of approximately 380 […]
