Engineers from the Voyager team dug up decades-old data to send a message to the intrepid spacecraft 13 BILLION MILES AWAY asking it to repurpose thrusters that have not been fired since November 1980. Astonishingly, even travelling at the speed of light, the signal took more than 17 hours to travel from NASA to Voyager 1 out in interstellar space. Jet propulsion engineer Todd Barber said:
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
Ever wondered what would happen if the Moon was as close to Earth as the International Space Station (ISS)? Well wonder no more, thanks to this video. It was created by the channel yeti dynamics back in 2013, but has been doing the rounds again after being posted on Reddit. It shows what would happen if, rather than being at its current distance of 380,000 kilometers (238,000 miles) on average,
Billions of light years away, there is a huge ball of hot gas that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. It is hard to visualize something so bright. So what is it? Astrophysicists are not really sure, but they have a couple theories. They think it may be a very infrequent type of supernova — called a magnetar — but one so powerful that it pushes the energy limits of physics, or in
What does our Milky Way look like? It might surprise you that we don’t actually know for sure, at least the far portion of it. But a new discovery may finally reveal the exact shape of the galaxy we call home. This astonishing finding, published in the journal Science, is that scientists have measured the distance to a group of stars on the opposite side of the galaxy for the first time. No
Astrophysicists inspecting the skies just got a massive surprise. They discovered a huge galaxy orbiting the Milky Way, haven’t seen before. It just came out of nowhere. So, how did the recently-discovered Crater 2 succeeded in pulling off this feat, like a deer flying out from the interstellar bushes to unexpectedly shock us? Even though the presence may seem sudden, the Crater 2 has always
This weird yet amazing Cosmic Snake galaxy is actually behind a massive galaxy cluster called MACS J1206.2-0847, but thanks to the cluster’s gravity, we can see it directly from Earth. Light from the distant galaxy arrives at Earth, having been distorted by the gigantic gravitational influence of the intervening cluster. Fascinatingly, instead of making it more difficult to perceive cosmolo
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
