The space telescope Kepler has found more than 500 million planets in our galaxy suitable for life. In this connection, astronomers and mathematicians suggest that only in our galaxy, there might be thousands, if not tens of thousands of advanced alien civilizations. And as in the rest of the universe,…
Today's article is focused on the questions that ask, 'What would happen if...' Let's start! What if… 1 …the Earth was twice as big? If the diameter of the planet was 16,000 km, its mass would be 8 times as big, and the force of gravity would increase twice. All…
There are some pretty interesting facts about space and the universe out there. If you thought you knew quite a bit about planets and space, then think again! You haven't seen anything yet! The universe is vast, including dust, light, planets, and unidentified objects. Over the years, we've learned some…
The Milky Way and the nearby Andromeda galaxy are on a course of a frontal collision that will take place in four billion years, according to U.S. scientists who made this announcement after the systematic research using the Hubble telescope. How and when will the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxy…
Perhaps, the intelligent life is in its very young stage in the Universe scale. 200 billion galaxies show a potential to continue their existence for hundreds of billions of years or even more. Since the planets and the life are so new in our Universe, says Dimitar Sasselov from Harvard…
What if we could look into the depths of the ancient universe? It could be that there is more reality to this statement than it sounds. After seven years of research, scientists from the University of California (UCLA) have managed to construct an instrument called ‘time machine’ which allows them…
What we see in the Universe is only 4% of the total existing mass and energy. Two new studies attempt to shed light on the dark side of the universe, i.e. the remaining 96%, which consists of the mysterious dark matter and even more mysterious dark energy. The first study…
The question of the existence of extraterrestrial life has intrigued millions of people for many ages. Eventually, are we alone in this world, or is there life on other planets? A new study comes to strengthen the second scenario. Not only could there be life somewhere out there, but potentially,…
