2023-06-09 12:01:41 The magic of the number 108 in the Solar system:

Sun diameter ~ 108 Earth diameters

108 Sun diameters between the Sun and Earth

Radius of the Moon = 1080 miles

Diameter of the Moon = 1080 x 2 miles (2160)

10080 miles = diameter of the Earth + Diameter of the Moon

Distance from Sun to Venus = 108 million km

Diameter of Mars = 1080 x 4 miles (4320)

Orbit of Jupiter = 1080 x 4 days (4320)

Diameter of Saturn = 108000 km

Saturn’s orbit = 10800 days

Isn't that a miracle?

2023-06-05 11:15:25 Some facts of the space, that maybe you didn't know.

Sputnik-1 is the world's first artificial Earth satellite, a Soviet spacecraft launched into orbit on October 4, 1957.

On April 12, 1961, the first human flight into space took place – it was performed by Yuri Gagarin. This historic event opened the way for the exploration of outer space.

Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. The flight took place on July 16-24, 1969. The crew consisted of three people: Neil Armstrong (commander), Edwin Aldrin (lunar module pilot) and Michael Collins (command module pilot). On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin landed in the Sea of Tranquility. They stayed on the moon for more than 21 hours, making one exit to its surface.

2023-06-01 11:15:08 Why the colours of aurora are different?

The color of the aurora depends on the wavelength of the light emitted. This is determined by the specific atmospheric gas and its electrical state, and the energy of the particle that hits the atmospheric gas.

2023-05-25 11:15:14 What is Aurora?

Aurora borealis, northern lights, southern lights, atmospheric optical phenomenon, the glow of the upper layers of planetary atmospheres resulting from the interaction of the planet's magnetosphere with charged particles of the solar wind.

And where can you see it?
They're usually in north Norway, Iceland, Finland, many parts of Russia, North Sweden, Canada and parts of Greenland. Buka / Bagaimana

2023-05-19 13:01:10 What is the most similar planet to earth?

Kepler-452b sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-7016.01 is a super Earth exoplanet.
It is orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler 452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by Kepler.

It is located about 1.800 light years from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus. And sometimes anyone have question like, is there a life on it in this exoplanet? And my answer is, astronomers say that the planet is in the “Goldilocks zone”, meaning that the distance of the planet from its star is just right, making it not too hot and not too cold for life to exist.

An extremely rare comet, which last visited us when humanity still lived in caves, is going to pay us a visit. The Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) takes around 50,000 years to orbit the Sun and this might be the last opportunity for anyone to take a look at this comet as astronomers believe it may never come back again.
