Moon 2.0 – The New Technology Revolution Beyond Earth
Moon 2.0 – The New Technology Revolution Beyond Earth For centuries, the Moon was a distant symbol of mystery, poetry, and dreams. It guided sailors, inspired lovers, and lit up our night skies. But in the 21st century, the Moon is no longer just something to gaze at; it is a destination.

When Galaxies Collide: The Future Cosmic Dance of the Milky Way and Andromeda
A Slow-Motion Collision in the Night Far beyond the reach of our telescopes’ finest details, an extraordinary cosmic event is already underway. The Milky Way—our home galaxy—and its massive neighbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, are locked in a slow, gravitational embrace. Although they are separated by about 2.5 million light-years, the two galaxies are inching toward each other at a staggering 110 kilometers per second.

The Coolest Star in the Universe: WISE 1828+2650, the “Room-Temperature” Star
When we think of a star, we imagine something blazing hot — a roaring sphere of plasma like our Sun, burning at thousands of degrees and flooding space with light. But the cosmos loves to challenge our assumptions. Somewhere out there, about 40 light-years away, floats a celestial oddball that defies everything we expect from a “star.”

New Discoveries in the TRAPPIST-1 and LHS 1140 Systems: Rethinking What “Habitable” Really Means
For decades, the dream of discovering a second Earth has driven astronomers to peer deep into the cosmos, searching for rocky planets orbiting distant stars. Two of the most intriguing targets in that quest—TRAPPIST-1 and LHS 1140—have recently revealed surprising new details thanks to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These discoveries are changing how scientists think about habitability, atmosphere loss, and what a truly “Earth-like” world might be.

Before they disappear, scientists are racing to name ocean creatures.
Our oceans are home to millions of species, many of which are still unidentified. Tragically, too, a great number of species are disappearing before we even realise they exist. Some vanish forever without being studied, photographed, or comprehended for their part in the complex web of life on Earth.

Parker Solar Probe: Unveiling the Fiery Secrets of the Sun’s Corona
When NASA’s Parker Solar Probe launched in August 2018, it set out on one of the most daring missions in space exploration: to “touch” the Sun. For the first time in human history, a spacecraft would fly directly through the Sun’s outer atmosphere—the corona—collecting data from a region that had always been seen, but never experienced.

New Frontiers in Space: How Microsatellites and CubeSats Are Revolutionizing Space Technology
In the past, sending something into space was a privilege reserved for national space agencies and billion-dollar aerospace companies. But in the last decade, a quiet revolution has been unfolding — one driven by tiny, affordable, and surprisingly powerful satellites known as microsatellites and CubeSats. These small wonders are reshaping everything we know about space exploration, communication, and even climate research.

The Agreements For Unity
I have been born into a world without peace. A place where everything dies, mainly from greed. Religions have focused a lot of violence too. And it never made any sense except people remembering their immediate ancestors that were still following millennia old traditions. But to me we should all be open to all interpretations of gods because obviously even your god wants to see this diversity. I think if we can all follow these agreements the world could be a better place for everyone everywhere on Earth.

Dark matter may eventually be revealed via radio waves in the early universe.
The Universe was quiet long before the first stars formed. No galaxies. No illumination. Only huge expanses of hydrogen gas and dark matter, an enigmatic substance that shapes everything we see today.
