The Earth’s seasonal cycle is a fundamental aspect of our planet’s climate and ecological systems, impacting everything from agriculture to cultural traditions. Seasons are the result of the Earth’s axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun, not simply its distance from the Sun. They dictate the rhythmic patterns of temperature changes, daylight variations, and … Read more
Rocket fuels are the lifeblood of space exploration, serving as the primary means of propelling spacecraft beyond Earth’s atmosphere. The choice of fuel is critical, not just for achieving the necessary thrust to escape Earth’s gravitational pull, but also for ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of space missions. Rocket fuels vary widely in composition, each … Read more
Max Q is an important concept in rocket launches. It refers to the point at which a rocket experiences the maximum dynamic pressure after liftoff. The moment is crucial because the structural integrity of the rocket is most challenged here, due to the combination of increasing velocity and atmospheric resistance. Let us discuss it in … Read more
Moon seems to be more than we think. The dark side of the Moon was not thoroughly researched due to limitations. Recent missions have equipped scientists with sophisticated tools and technologies that enable detailed examination and exploration of the lunar surface. And we have a new finding: a radioactive granite rock. Let us see what … Read more
Solar flares, intense bursts of radiation emanating from the Sun, hold significant importance due to their profound impact on Earth. These occurences can disrupt communication networks, GPS systems, and even power grids, making an understanding of their nature and timing crucial. That is why it is important to follow predictions and how to protect yourself … Read more
The T Coronae Borealis, or the ‘Blaze Star’, is one of the most interesting phenomena in the field of astronomy. This recurrent nova, nestled in the constellation of Corona Borealis, offers a rare spectacle in the night sky. Since we are still waiting for the eruption to happen, I feel it is important to outline … Read more
The Voyager 2 mission, launched by NASA in 1977, stands as a pillar of human achievement in space exploration. Recently, the spacecraft experienced a significant communication blackout due to an antenna misalignment. Let’s see what happened. Incident Overview In early 2023, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft unexpectedly stopped communicating with Earth. The communication loss was traced … Read more
The belief that the Earth is flat is not new; it dates back to ancient times before we had developed methods to explore and understand our world. Yet, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, there remains a small group of people today who adamantly believe in the flat Earth theory. In this blog post, we’ll … Read more
