NASA's Dawn mission finished in 2017. What did it discover while in orbit around Ceres?

What new findings have we discovered about our favourite little world, Pluto?

Almost everything you could want to know about the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. Real HD photos and videos taken by the MESSENGER probe. We discuss the orbit, climate, geographical features, and general physical characteristics or...

The Mystery of the Gruithuisen Domes on the Moon.

In 2017, Cassini ended its mission by disintegrating in Saturn's atmosphere. What were the final images it ever took?

Hubble doesn't just look at distant nebula and galaxies, but has also observed celestial bodies and events in our own solar system. So what has it seen? Images from Hubble / NASA / ESA.

A look at the recent collab between NASA and Boston Dynamics, with Spot.

Saturn's moon, Titan, is the only other body in the solar system that can support liquid on its surface. But not liquid water, liquid methane. What did NASA's Cassini discover about the methane lakes of Saturn's moon, Titan?

NASA's InSight has run into a few difficulties since it landed. Can scientists overcome them?

NASA's OSIRIS-REx has now been orbiting the asteroid Bennu for a year already, but what has it discovered so far?

Supralateral arcs, ice pillars and sun pillars.

How do scientists plan to get astronauts to Mars when space radiation is so strong? What can be done about it? Astrum Answers!

NASA's Dawn spacecraft was the first spacecraft to orbit two extraterrestial bodies, Vesta and Ceres. But what did it do and discover while it was there?

Have you ever said or done something you later regretted? Or felt like your emotions run the show? Our minds use hidden strategies called defense mechanisms to protect us from uncomfortable feelings. In this video, I explain what they...

With the basic principles of homogeneous catalysis understood, let's move on to heterogeneous catalysis. This is where the catalyst and reagents are in different phases. Typically, the reagents are in the liquid or gas phase, flowing...

Tempered glass is stronger than regular glass and can withstand higher temperatures. It is also manufactured in a way that causes it to break into smaller pieces, which is safer than regular glass shattering into large shards. Unlike...

Water kills people with its density. In fact, it is 1300 times denser than air! If you rose to a height of 150 meters, which is around half of the Eiffel Tower, the change in air pressure would hardly be discernible to you. However, if...

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the sun, just like the rest of the planets and celestial bodies in our solar system. Although asteroids are present throughout the solar system, most of them live in the asteroid belt—a...

Photoelectric effect occurs when electromagnetic radiation above the threshold frequency of the given metallic surface, strikes the surface and releases electrons from it. This happens because light is made of massless particles called...

Without a spacesuit, there is no chance of surviving in the scary cosmic void. In science fiction movies, we often see peoples heads exploding or being frozen by the apparent pressure differential or lack of heat, respectively. As long...

A submarine needs to come to the surface once every few days (or even more frequently than that), not only to obtain a fresh supply of atmospheric oxygen from above the waters surface but also to dispose of the waste gases it produces...

Neurons send signals through a mechanism called action potential. Action potentials are electrical signals that pass through the neuron’s axon. This causes the neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. Action potentials are the...

Fishes survive underwater pressure as they do not breathe through their lungs. Therefore, they do not have air pockets that can be compressed due to the high pressures. However, fish arent the only creatures found at such incredible...

Yes, water expands when it freezes. Note that the word expands here indicates an increase in volume. So, a technically sound way to put it would bewaters volume increases when it freezes. This statement is accurate, and you can test its...
