There’s no denying that plastic has been useful and convenient to us, and we’re surrounded by it. It’s in the shopping bags we use for grocery items, the food packaging we discard, and plastic bottles or straws we drink from. However, this innovation came with a massive ecological cost. As a result, the rapid production […]
Saturn is a gas giant or a colossal planet mainly composed of helium (He) and hydrogen (H2). It’s the sixth planet from our Sun and the second-largest planet in the solar system. Among the planets in our solar system, Saturn is considered the most beautiful. This is because of its thousands of unique, glorious rings […]
Scientists have long been searching for any telltale signs of life on other planets or celestial bodies in space. And if you’ve already watched a bunch of movies about aliens, I’m pretty sure this question has crossed your mind multiple times. Is there really extraterrestrial life beyond Earth?

Water is our planet’s most abundant natural resource. It plays an important role, as all living things rely on water to survive. And without water, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. When humans and animals lack the water they need, they get thirsty. And like hunger, thirst is a need that must be satisfied. […]
To all space enthusiasts here, I have amazing news for you! The dawn of a new era of moon exploration begins again, 50 years after the last Apollo mission.

Asteroids often get close to Earth every day but rarely does one touch the ground. But did you know that the last known catastrophic impact event on our planet was about 66 million years ago? It’s not entirely known—the exact number of asteroids or meteorites hitting the Earth daily. However, experts estimate that about 10 […]
Today we are talking about how to write a good post about events. Your first paragraph should immediately tell the reader the time period and should give the topic of the whole post. Unfamiliar terms should be defined for the reader. Example: The main problem was that the Articles of Confederation, the plan of government adopted […]

And after reading it, I’m pretty sure this question might’ve already crossed your mind: How about dinosaurs? Is it possible for scientists to resurrect dinosaurs? Imagine seeing a real dinosaur! Just like in […]
Dreaming is a common phenomenon of sleep, especially for us. But did you know that humans aren’t the only ones that dream? Many other animals like cats, dogs, horses, platypuses, birds, and even reptiles do indeed dream. Awesome, right? But what if I tell you spiders might be dreaming a lot like people too? Would […]
Although it appears small in the sky, the sun is by far the largest object in the solar system. It is also located at an immense distance from the earth- 93 million miles. Can you imagine how long it would take to drive 93 million miles? If you drove at 70 mph and never stopped […]

Hello everyone. This post is about a Stellar Engine. So what is a Stellar Engine? It is something that is capable of moving the entire solar system. I will not go into too much detail because this is still just fiction. Okay. Even though it is still science fiction, I will continue exploring what is […]
“Sixty seconds!” Not 61. No wiggle room. No “just a couple more seconds, we’re almost there>” and no second chances. They had sixty seconds to land on he moon. Absolutely no one expected it to happen. They had painstakingly planned it so it absolutely wouldn’t-couldn’t happen. But here they were, less than five hundred feet […]
NASA once said, “Friendly reminder: We’re just a small speck in a massive universe!” Have you ever stopped for a moment and pondered about this? In the grand scheme of things (of space and time), we’re only specks of dust in this vast universe. It’s such an astonishing yet humbling thought at the same time. […]
On July 12, 2022, NASA released the long-waited first set of full-color images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—the largest and most powerful space telescope ever built and launched into space. It marks a momentous day for science, beginning a new era in astronomy. As a recap, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was […]
An unprecedented botanical discovery happened! Scientists discovered a new giant waterlily species in the Royal Botanic Gardens at the Kew’s Waterlily House in London. The new giant waterlily named Victoria boliviana was already in the Royal Botanic Gardens’ archives and was growing in Kew’s Herbarium for 177 years. However, it was previously mistaken for Victoria […]
Astronauts go to the International Space Station (ISS), living there for months to conduct scientific experiments, gather data for analysis on Earth, and maintain the station. But have you ever wondered about some of the things astronauts experience while living there? When astronauts spend six months or longer in space, they lose decades’ worth of […]
