How Large Is Our Universe
The following video demonstrates distances between galaxies and stars in practice. We all know that these distances are huge and are measured in light years, but to gain a perspective on how enormous are...

The following video explores the possibilities of interstellar travel through the black holes. The key for this is the existence of the wormhole that has the black hole on one end and the white...
The following video lists the most important events and highlights for December 2014. The month starts with Mars as a morning star, and Venus will join him later in the month.
The following video serves as a tutorial for anyone interested in creating motion time-lapse of the Milky Way. The tutorial contains all necessary phases of this process.
This video explains the term “mass” in our Universe. We can easily grasp how massive are the objects in our Solar System only by comparison. If we take Jupiter, as the biggest and most...
Scientists considered volcanoes on the Moon as an old phenomenon that had finished their activity a billion years ago. However, according to a new research, it has been found about 70 new features called...
New Hubble observations discover a new mystery around globular clusters. The previous theory worked well in terms of formation of globular clusters and their ability to eject stars in nearby galaxies, as in case...
Far away from our Sun, Kuiper belt stretches out beyond Neptune, containing a lot of dwarf planets with peculiar orbits. According to new evidence, scientists start to speculate that there can be a real...
The following video contains the shortlist in images captured by astronomy photographers that take part in a competition for Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2014. It begins with a composition of several images called...
According to many studies, scientists believe that there is an ocean in our Solar System, ten times deeper than the Earth’s oceans, with two to three times the Earth’s water volume. They assume that...
Astronomers are planning to visit asteroid Bennu in 2018, by starting Osiris-Rex mission. They hope to collect the original material from the asteroid, because unlike the Earth, Bennu has a lot of rock and...
The smallest planet in our Solar System, Mercury, is at the same time the closest one to the Sun. Its dayside surface is exposed to the Sun in a very long period of time,...
Jupiter, the most massive planet in our Solar System, has very delicate rings, consisting of particles that are the size of the fine dust. These faint rings spread around Jupiter within 3.000 miles in...
This video shows us top 10 weirdest things in the Universe. The list begins with diamond planets and ends up with dark matter.
Kuiper Belt objects are the coldest places in our Solar System. Among them, there are Pluto’s frozen world with very little sunlight and Sedna as the furthest object that orbits the Sun. Its orbit...
In the center of our galaxy, the super massive black hole with its brightest feature called Sagittarius A star, as seen at radio wavelengths, is located. It is 4 million times the masses of...
