Exploration Missions The first…
Exploring Beyond Our Solar System Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars other than our own sun. These have been discovered through various methods, including observing the faint dip in a star’s light as a orbiting planet passes in front, or by observing the wobble of the star due to the gravitational pull of a orbiting…
What is Space Tourism? Space tourism is a relatively new industry with companies like Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, and Blue Origin leading the charge. The goal is to provide paying customers with the opportunity to experience the thrill of space travel by launching them on suborbital flights, or in some cases, even orbiting the Earth. The…
What are Exoplanets? Exoplanets, also known as extrasolar planets, are planets that orbit stars other than our own sun. These planets are extremely difficult to detect because of their small size and the distance between them and Earth. However, the recent advancements in technology have made it possible to detect these exoplanets using several techniques,…
The Importance of Space Exploration Space exploration has long been a fascination of mankind, with early dreams of reaching the stars dating back centuries. But it wasn’t until the mid-20th century that we made significant strides in actually exploring the final frontier. With technological advancements and government funding, we’ve been able to send humans and…
The Basics of Space Energy Space energy, also known as zero-point energy or vacuum energy, is the energy that exists in the vacuum of space. It is the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have. This energy is believed to be a fundamental aspect of the fabric of the universe, and…
Space Tourism: A Dream Soon to be a Reality Space tourism has been a long-standing dream for many people around the world. It is an industry that is still in its infancy but one that promises to take off in the coming years. As technology advances and space exploration becomes more accessible, the potential for…
