The sheer magnitude of space is a source of endless fascination. The Milky Way alone is home to a staggering 200 to 400 billion stars, and when we consider the billions of galaxies that exist, the number of stars in space becomes genuinely unfathomable.
The possibility of life on Mars is tantalizing.
COSMIC INFLATION IS BACK AGAIN.
ADDITIONAL SPACE IS BEING BORN WITH EVERY passing second. MASS is always condensed energy.
STARS ARE FORMED FROM CLOUDS OF GASES THAT ARE UNDER PRESSURE.
STARS CLUSTERS FORM SUPER CLUSTERS WHEN THEY CAN. They are kept together by a part of the university’s web.
BLACK HOLES PUT A RIP INTO THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME; EVERY BATHTUB NEEDS A DRAIN.
In the quantum world, you know where an electron is when you see it.

Space is completely silent.
THE UNIVERSE WAS CODED BY GOD.

Halley Comet will not orbit past Earth again until 2061.
A full NASA space suit costs $12,000,000. The hottest planet in our solar system is 450 °C. Neutron stars can spin 600 times per second. There may be a planet made out of diamonds.

One day on Venus is longer than one year. About 1.4 billion years ago, a day on Earth was 18 hours and 41 minutes long.
This packed ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week showcases the galaxy cluster ACO S 295 and a jostling crowd of background galaxies and foreground stars. Galaxies of all shapes and sizes populate this image, ranging from stately spirals to fuzzy ellipticals. As well as a range of sizes, this galactic menagerie boasts a range of orientations, with spiral galaxies like the one at the center of this image appearing almost face-on and some edge-on spiral galaxies visible only as thin slivers of light. The cluster dominates the center of this image, both visually and physically. The huge mass of the galaxy cluster has gravitationally lensed the background galaxies, distorting and smearing their shapes. In addition to providing astronomers with a natural magnifying glass to study distant galaxies, gravitational lensing subtly frames the center of this image, producing a visually striking scene.
