How much do you know about the dangers of a trip to Mars?
Astronauts to Mars journey is not like tourists to Switzerland so easy, relaxed, and comfortable, but a journey full of uncertainties and unknown risks of adventure. Astronauts on Mars exploration missions will have to fight for a long time against the stresses of deep space radiation, microgravity, claustrophobic space, and isolation.

The ice of the Arctic gone to the sky?
In recent years, many jaw-dropping things have happened in the Arctic, for example, the temperature in some parts of the Arctic reached 38°C in 2020! The cold Arctic is surprisingly experiencing thunderstorms (the appearance of thunderstorms requires air to produce thermal convection), and the number is on the rise. Some seas are surprisingly almost free of sea ice coverage in summer. Recently, scientists have discovered a strange phenomenon - while the Arctic sea ice is rapidly decreasing, there is more ice over the Arctic! What's going on?

More than 20 types of amino acids found, extraterrestrial life really exists?
Recently, Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology said scientists detected more than 20 amino acids in samples collected by the asteroid probe "Hayabusa 2". These samples were taken from the asteroid "Ryugu" by "Hayabusa 2" in 2020. According to Professor Emeritus of Astrobiology Kenshasa Kobayashi of Yokohama National University, the discovery of multiple amino acids on celestial bodies beyond Earth is "unprecedented" and may even suggest the existence of life beyond Earth.

Life inside a star?
When we imagine other possible forms of life, we may sometimes be a bit carbon chauvinistic. This is understandable because carbon-based chemistry allows for the most complex structures we know of in this universe. But is there some other mechanism that would allow for the chemical diversity required for life? We don't know, but that hasn't stopped some scientists from searching.

The Earth is carrying mankind through the universe?
Modern science believes that our Earth was born 13.8 billion years ago, there was a singularity explosion, the singularity is an infinite mass, infinite energy, infinite heat, infinite density, and infinitely small volume of the point, after the explosion of this point, the rapid expansion of the universe around, after 13.8 billion years, the universe has expanded into what we see now, now we know In the universe, there are many celestial bodies, like stars, planets, comets, asteroids, neutron stars, etc. These are produced after the Big Bang, and our Earth is a planet in the solar system, there are a total of eight planets in the solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Mysterious ghostly circles found in Earth's night sky
It's a shocking discovery! A group of researchers at the University of Western Sydney in Australia have discovered mysterious smoke ring-like strange circles invisible in visible light in the night sky, appearing like ghosts in space, unmeasured distance, unknown size and distance, unexplained by any currently known physical phenomenon, and two Russian scientists even believe that it could be the throat of the legendary wormhole.

Is the Earth a "prison"?
With cold air in summer and heating in winter, the changes that technology has brought over the centuries are there for all to see. However, advanced technology has not only brought about an improvement in the quality of life and lifestyle change but has also given humans the ability and qualification to explore certain issues, such as the origin of mankind.
