    The Hubble Space Telescope found a gigantic hydrogen cloud, which scientists named The Behemoth, on a planet orbiting a nearby star. The hydrogen cloud surrounds the planet, and the hydrogen cloud is about 50 times the size of the star the planet orbits. The cloud is evaporating due to the extreme radiation from the star. This is the first time something like this has happened around an exoplanet. This exoplanet and its hydrogen cloud may offer clues how super-hot versions of Earth are

In his early age, he was attracted to both theology and science but was soon interrupted

    Hubble Space Telescope The Hubble Space Telescope is the first major telescope that was placed in space. It has been in operation for over twenty-five years, and has greatly changed our knowledge of the universe. It can observe galaxies and stars that are very far away since it is not blocked at all by light pollution and smog that obstructs the views of the telescopes on Earth. Hubble is fascinating because it was and still is the most revolutionary telescope since Galileo first looked through

In his work, Ptolemy made all of his assumptions were purely based on observations. In

Lemaître was the first to realize that a continuously expanding universe implies that at some point in the past the universe must have been much denser and smaller, even atom-sized.” - Micheal Anissimov.
