Terrific!

Earth is the only planet with liquid water on the surface — and life (so far).

Extraordinary "monster galaxy" COSMOS-AzTEC-1 in the artist's view So-called "monster galaxies" are those forming stars at an incredible speed, up to 1,000 times faster than the Milky Way. They are the ancestors of the huge elliptical galaxies in the modern Universe. By studying them scientists are paving the way to better understand the formation and evolution of giant stellar structures.

The smallest black hole Scientists have discovered the smallest black hole known to date in the constellation Monoceros. According to calculations, the mass of the black hole is 3.04±0.06 of the mass of the Sun, and its diameter is 18.6 km. The Monoceros black hole is located at a distance of 1,500 light years from Earth, which makes it one of the closest known black holes. Most likely, black holes with a smaller mass will be discovered later. The only problem is that small black holes are very difficult to detect. A black hole of stellar mass can only be detected due to a slight oscillation in the position of a neighboring star, with which it rotates around a common center of gravity. @join_AllAboutSpace...

History of Physics - The Mind-Blowing Story of Physics You Never Learned in School The history of physics is the story of how humans have tried to understand the natural world, how things move, why they move, and what invisible forces shape the universe. 1. Ancient Physics (Before 500 AD) Early Observations: Long before physics had a name, ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Babylonians tracked stars and seasons to build calendars and temples. They didn’t have scientific theories, but they were brilliant observers. Greek Thinkers: Then came the Greeks. Aristotle (384–322 BC) believed heavy objects fall faster than light ones, and the Earth was the center of the universe. His ideas dominated for over a thousand years, even though many were wrong. But others like Archimedes (famous for shouting “Eureka!”) began using math to explain things like levers and water displacement. This was the birth of physics as a science. 2. Islamic and Medieval Contributions (500–1500) While Europe fell into the Dark Ages, scholars in the Islamic world preserved Greek knowledge and added their own insights. Ibn al-Haytham, for instance, studied optics and wrote about how light reflects and refracts, paving the way for modern physics. 3. The Scientific Revolution (1500–1700) This was a game-changer. People started questioning old ideas and using experiments to test theories. • Nicolaus Copernicus said the Earth orbits the Sun, not the other way around. • Galileo Galilei used telescopes and dropped balls from towers, proving Aristotle wrong about falling objects. • Johannes Kepler figured out that planets move in ellipses, not circles. Then came the giant… • Isaac Newton (1643–1727): He tied everything together with his laws of motion and universal gravitation. Suddenly, the universe looked like a giant clock, a machine that followed clear, mathematical rules. 4. The Age of Energy and Electricity (1700–1900) Physicists started studying heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. • Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell revealed how electricity and magnetism are connected. • Thermodynamics was born, explaining engines, heat, and the flow of energy. • The laws of conservation (like energy can’t be created or destroyed) became cornerstones of physics. 5. Modern Physics (1900–Present) Just when scientists thought they had everything figured out, things got weird. • Albert Einstein (1905): In his theory of relativity, time and space became stretchy, and mass could turn into energy (E=mc²). This explained why GPS satellites need to account for time differences in orbit! • Quantum Physics: Tiny particles like electrons don’t behave like billiard balls, they act like waves and particles at the same time. Planck, Bohr, Heisenberg, and others explored this strange world. • Nuclear Physics gave us both power and weapons. • Particle Physics discovered smaller building blocks of matter, like quarks and leptons. 6. Physics Today Today, physics gives us room to discover everything from black holes to quantum computers. We’re trying to unify all forces into one grand theory (like string theory), and experiments like those at CERN are pushing boundaries daily. Physics began as philosophy, evolved into experiments, and now powers our technology and shapes our future. From falling apples to bending spacetime, it’s been a thrilling ride, and it’s far from over. What do you think about Physics?

Jupiter is so big, it could fit all the other planets inside it and still have room!

Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system: Olympus Mons — 3x taller than Mount Everest.

Did You Know ?? The Coldest Planet in our Solar System is Neptune

What are the Quasars? Quasar is an astronomical object of very high luminosity found in the centres of some galaxies and powered by gas spiraling at high velocity into an extremely large black hole.🕳️ And the nearest quasar is only 13.03 billion light years, so we don't need to be nervous, but the chance is never 0%.😵 @astronomic

Yesterday, HU IOT Astronomy and Space Science Club and Ethiopian Space Science Society ESSS in collaboration with Russian Embassy to Ethiopia, pays tribute to Gagarin in honour of Cosmonautics Day On this International Day of Human Spaceflight, we celebrate the first flight of mankind into space, which was made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, as well as the first launch of the space shuttle (an American reusable transport spacecraft. — Ed.) in 1981. The Russian crew of the International Space Station (ISS), consisting of Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin, Ivan Wagner and Kirill Peskov, congratulated Russian citizens on Cosmonautics Day on April 12.

How did we learn what stars are made of? Almost everything we actually know about stars is a credit to spectral analysis. Size, distance, composition... Even the age. All of this comes from observing their light! Atoms of each element emit light characterized by color, wavelength, allowing us to determine the chemical elements in the composition of stars.

Scientists received a signal from space similar to a heartbeat The radio burst surprised astronomers because it lasted about three seconds - about 1000 times longer than usual signals. It had a distinct rhythm, similar to a heartbeat. 😱
