Earth’s been hiding a little secret from its partner, the moon. Turns out the Earth has had a “mini-moon” on the side for over a century, and even though the relationship has been exposed, the partnership is likely to continue for centuries to come. This newly discovered moon is smaller than our moon and goes around the Earth astonishingly irregularly, but still, two is quite better than one
Today is a historic day—one that will bring joy to the hundreds of millions of Pluto lovers around the globe. The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the body that is responsible for naming and classifying objects in the cosmos, has just announced that Pluto has been reclassified as a major planet. That’s right, the little dwarf will be rejoining the ranks of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
There is some serious anticipation for tonight’s super blue blood moon and luna eclipse. A ‘super blue blood moon’ sounds pretty cool, and it is, and to break it down – the ‘super’ bit means the moon is closer to Earth than usual, ‘blue’ means it’s the second full moon of the month, and the ‘blood’ part is down to the moon’s reddish hue. But there’s one extra thin
There are many things in life we take for granted; things that will always be there. For instance, consider the moon. It’s there, in the sky, and whether we choose to notice it or not, we know that its presence doesn’t change. But, if we take the time to notice the moon, we will see that it goes through many changes, other than the normal phases. Year to year, there are special “moons
“The Ganymede ocean is believed to contain more water than Europa’s,” says Olivier Witasse, a project scientist working on ESA’s future Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE). “Six times more water in Ganymede’s ocean than in Earth’s ocean, and three times more than Europa.” In March of 2016, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope revealed the best evidence yet for an underground saltwate
Not only have researchers discovered a massive stone sphere in Europe, it is said that the oldest and largest Pyramids are also in Europe. Furthermore, linguistic and cultural scientists indicate that the oldest written language does not come from Mesopotamia but from the ancient Danube Valley Civilization (Europe) which was among the first civilizations to develop copper tools, advanced architect
On July 23, 2015, NASA announced the discovery of the first truly Earth-like planet. This find comes thanks to the Kepler Space Telescope, which was launched in March of 2009 and has been planet hunting for the last 5 years. “It is the first terrestrial planet in the habitable zone around a star very similar to the Sun,” said Douglas Caldwell, an astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mounta
STEPHEN Hawking is leading an investigation into whether the first object ever to arrive from OUTSIDE our solar system is a spaceship from an alien civilisation. The first mysterious object to reach our solar system was originally thought to be a comet or an asteroid from within the system. But, scientists realised it was neither and had travelled unimaginable disatances through interstellar space
Like part of a cosmic Russian doll, our universe may be nested inside a black hole that is itself part of a larger universe. In turn, all the black holes found so far in our universe—from the microscopic to the supermassive—may be doorways into alternate realities. According to a mind-bending new theory, a black hole is actually a tunnel between universes—a type of wormhole. The matter the b
