Astronomy 🔭
The moon landing was a real event on July 20, 1969 that was achieved through thousands of people's hard work, dedication, and expertise.
Astronomy 🔭
While we have not found life on TOI-1452b, TOI-1452b is a great candidate for alien life due to the possibility of the planet being covered in an ocean of liquid water.
Astronomy 🔭
While we have not found life on Kepler-186f, Kepler-186f is a candidate for alien life due to many terrestrial planet similarities to Earth and possible surface liquid water.
Exoplanets
No, life as we know it would not be able to survive on Mercury due to extreme temperature fluctuations, proximity to the Sun, and being void of an atmosphere.
Planetary Science
It is highly unlikely that life as we know it could survive on Io due to extreme atmospheric and surface activities.
Planetary Science
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is an anticyclonic storm in a persistent high-pressure region the size of Earth.
Planetary Science
Jupiter has many moons due to its strong gravitational pull, proximity to the asteroid belt, and large size.
Planetary Science
Terrestrial planets formed through multiple stages of planetary accretion from planetesimal gas and dust throughout billions of years.
Planetary Science
No, humans can not live on Mercury due to extreme temperature fluctuations, solar radiation, and a thin atmosphere.
Astronomy 🔭
Black holes die through a gradual process called Hawking Radiation, which sheds its mass as energy. This process can take over a quadrillion years for the largest black holes to die.
