Hubble telescope snapped very rare image of Saturn. NASA reveled those pictures & a video a few days ago. Sorry guys, I am late for this news. The Hubble space…
Water is a valuable resource and its availability is crucial to our existence. No other compound is more important to us than water. Both our planet – Earth, and the brightest star of the solar system – the Sun, consist of water. The very interesting thing is a recent study claims that Earth’s water is older than the Sun.
Europa is the icy moon of the largest planet Jupiter. NASA wants to send a mission to Europa and now the space agency is accepting ideas from people for that mission.
Scientists believe that there are many planets in space that contain huge amounts of water hidden beneath their surface. And lately, scientists have found a dwarf planet called Ceres that may contain more fresh water than Earth.
This year, many historic events have been happened in space – from Mars to Moon to entire solar system. Lets see some of the historic events of this year happened in space at a glance.
Although we have been taught that there are 8 planets in the space, astronomers still try to discover new planets. Lately, a group of researchers from the University of Arizona has discovered a giant alien planet dubbed as HD 106906 b which is believed to be 11 times bigger than the size of Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system.
Scientists as well as researchers have been busy for long time to find an alternate world of Earth that could be inhabitable for human beings. Although space agency NASA has found ‘drinkable’ water on Mars which lighted a hope of having a habitable planet, but the search for more habitable planet kept going. However, lately some British astronomers have found an evidence of a rocky exoplanet that contains 26% water.
One of the important instruments that helps astronomers to discover the space more accurately from Earth is telescope. Although there are many powerful telescopes on Earth that help astronomers to look into the space more deeply, but Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA), the world’s biggest radio telescope located in Chile allows astronomers to peer into some of the darkest and furthest parts of the universe.
