Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of the universe, but it has never been directly detected. Now scientists think they have found evidence for dark matter in our solar system. The idea behind the dark matter is simple: It’s invisible and so can’t be seen by telescopes. But even if …
Here, we are going to talk about black holes – we will investigate what exactly they are and what properties they have, and whether or not they are capable of releasing any kind of radiation. What Is A Black Hole? So, a black hole is a part of space where gravity will pull a lot …
Gravity is one of the strangest forces out there. While scientists can prove gravity has an effect on things, there is no actual proof for what the facets that make and effect gravity are. For similar reasons we don’t always understand the nature of gravity and where it exists. The question we are posing today …
In many ways, the Earth can seem pretty unique. But take a glance at the stars, and you’re actually looking at trillions of Earth-like planets and alien worlds. It’s suspected that most stars have orbiting planets, and some will have solar systems much like our own. Finding these exoplanets can be difficult, but scientists are …
Europa is a distant and icy moon of Jupiter, with a smooth surface made of rock-hard ice. But lurking beneath that cold outer layer, there might be a liquid water ocean. And this could potentially contain all the ingredients needed for life. What’s going on in that hidden ocean is still something of a mystery, …
Are you curious about the history of space exploration? Maybe you want to know more about the space race between the US and Russia but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you just want to boost your space knowledge? Whatever your reason might be, we have the answer for you! We know how tricky …
Time travel is possible, right? Yes, and it’s happening right now. You’re hurtling into the future at an impressive rate of one second per second. Every time you watch paint dry or wish you had more hours to visit with a friend from out of town, time moves at the same speed. In franchises like …
Today we’re going to be discussing the difference between dark and vacuum energy, but before we dive in, we first need to establish what energy means in scientific terms. What Is Energy? In physics, energy is defined as the capacity for doing work, and by “work”, we mean the working against a force. Energy can …

What would happen if humans left Earth? Would we become extinct or thrive elsewhere? What would life be like on other planets? These questions are at the heart of space exploration. Space exploration has always fascinated humans. From the earliest days of human history, we’ve dreamed of exploring new worlds and discovering new civilizations. The …
Rockets have been used by humans for hundreds of years to launch things into space. They have been used to fire off fireworks, signal flares, weapons of war, and now they’ve become a tool for sending spaceships into orbit. But how exactly do they work? The science behind it can seem tricky, and leaves many …
