There’s a buzz in this community about an asteroid that will pass in 2028. The public wants to know if it will be any danger. I’m jake Rosenbloom, and this is the SciPod. Today I will be discussing about the Universe’s creation, and the things inside it. There are many theories suggesting how the Universe was created. The most widely accepted theory is the Big Bang Theory. It says, the universe expanded exponentially from “Time 0”. Another theory is “Steady State Theory” which states the density

Investigation of Dark Matter Introduction Throughout the years, scientists have been looking for the missing mass of the universe; it has yet remained an unsolved mystery. Using different methods, scientists have tried to determine the mass of the universe and surprisingly found a discrepancy suggesting that ninety percent of the mass of the universe is nowhere to be found. Then here comes the term “dark matter”, referring to this unfound matter of the universe

believe that it exist. Experiments and observations have been conducted to build evidence that dark matter exists. The information and explanations gathered present convincing evidence for dark matter. This evidence is found within the speed of galaxy

exist. That, however, is not the case. Current on going research using several different models have proved this part of the REH wrong. Photosynthesis and liquid water are two major habitable zone conditions that were once thought to be rare within galaxies and the universe; yet, new research shows that planets, even the extreme and harsh planets, can be found to contain either liquid water or an atmosphere that could produce organisms which perform photosynthesis, a process that nearly all life depends

impression that the sun was the center of the galaxy, and the universe. Most people couldn’t grasp the idea that there was a bigger world in space beyond our planet, the sun and our moon. While we saw stars in the night sky, the idea that our universe was as vast and complex as it is seemed unreasonable. In 1920, Harlow Shapley showed just how vast the Milky Way was. However Shapley did not believe that there was anything more to our universe than our galaxy. He believed that because it was so big that

For my observing project I chose to do Messier 98 (M98). I chose M98 because I am absolutely fascinated by galaxies, and I think spiral galaxies look the coolest. M98 is located in the constellation Coma Berenices and it is in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A French astronomer, named Pierre Mechain, on March 15th 1781, discovered M98 and then Charles Messier measured its position and catalogued it on April 13, 1781. M98, also known as NGC 4192, is located at a Right Ascension of 12h 13m 48s and at

better understand how the universe, galaxies, stars, and planets came to be. Also, infrared light pierces through layers of dust that can hide objects in space, allowing the Webb, with its cutting-edge technology, to see the objects that are hidden. This proves we can use EMR to see things that can’t be seen because the universe is expanding, and visible light stretches as it travels through space, turning it into infrared light. Which makes distant stars and galaxies seem out of sight. Not to mention

approximately 60 other basic ingredients that make a human, originated in the stars. 2. The Grand Canyon has some of the darkest skies left on the planet. When you are here, you can see the “Milky Way” spanning the night sky, a view of the spiral arms of our galaxy. Light pollution is a big problem that gets bigger by the day. Eighty percent of children born in the U.S. today will spend their entire lives never having seen the

The Big Bang theory. The Big Bang, what is it? What does it tell us? How do we know that The Big Bag is a viable theory? The BIg Bang theory is currently the best theory (astro)physicists and cosmologists have to describe the beginning of the universe in which we live. The theory also has implications on how cosmologists think the universe will end. We call it the big bang as it was originally thought of as a preposterous theory; That the universe didn 't exist at some stage and then it just decided

Have you ever seen a supernova in person, if not not it was probably because Supernovas are difficult to see in our own Milky Way galaxy because of dust blocking our view. Supernovas are 33 light years away. A website called eartsky.org stated “there might be one dangerous supernova event in Earth’s vicinity every 15 million years” . Another says, “that, on average, a supernova explosion occurs within 10 parsecs (33 light-years) of the Earth every 240 million years.” Only three Milky Way naked-eye
