Every cosmologist and astronomer agrees: our Universe is 13.7 billion years old. Using cutting-edge technology, scientists are now able to take a snapshot of the Universe a mere heartbeat after its birth.
Comparing the sizes of the planets and galaxies. It just shows how really insignificant we are!
A by product of life, methane, has not been found in large quantities in the Martian atmosphere by Curiosity. This means that the chances of finding living ‘life’ on Mars has greatly diminished.
More than 100,000 people are eager to make themselves at home on another planet. They’ve applied for a one-way trip to Mars, hoping to be chosen to spend the rest of their lives on...
New breakthroughs in science and technology are rapidly broadening our horizons.These discoveries are revolutionizing the way we think. Here are some of Stephen Hawking’s thoughts on the Universe.
The Harvest Moon is the full Moon closest to the northern autumnal equinox and is coming this week. Probably got its name from farmers who needed the moonlight to help them complete the harvest.
The Hubble telescope has enabled us to look at snapshots of our past. Light travels at a finite speed that means that in principle everything we see is a thing of the past. At...
Well, the title says it all! Are claims for outer space real estate legitimate?
The Very Large Telescope on Mt Paranal, Chile, will distinguish the polarized light of planet atmospheres from the light of their parent stars thereby offering a new planetary detection system. The new system will...
