Patterns are everywhere in nature, and we just need to look closer and observe to see them. The unique patterns we see in snowflakes, the branches of trees, the veins on leaves, the growth rings of a tree, the spiral leaf arrangements of succulents, the branching of river systems, and the ripples of sand are […]
An aurora, also known as the polar lights, is a stunning natural light show in the Earth’s sky. With its vibrant patterns of glowing, colorful lights that appear as flickers, rays, spirals, or curtains, it’s definitely one of the most breathtaking displays in the night sky.

For the first time in history, a NASA spacecraft called the Parker Solar Probe successfully entered the corona, or the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere, hence “touching” the Sun. It is one of the monumental developments in solar science because it has always been one of the key goals of the Parker Solar Probe […]
