The moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, from material ejected into orbit after the collision of the Earth with a massive celestial body. At first, the satellite was molten and had its own magnetic shield, traces of which can be found today in local minerals.
Astronomers have recorded the shortest gamma-ray burst ever produced by the collapse of a massive star. The discovery may question the generally accepted classification of gamma-ray bursts based on their duration.
Can you tell where our planet is in the universe? Of course, planet Earth is in the Solar System, which in turn is in the Orion Arm, the small galactic arm of the Milky Way. Well, our own galaxy then? Did you know that it is part of the Laniakeа Supercluster along with tens of thousands of other galaxies?
Although humankind has still not developed the necessary technology to travel to the outermost parts of our solar system, we…
The American company Masten Space Systems will develop a lunar navigation system based on surface radio beacons. The device in lunar orbit will drop beacons to the surface that will be adapted for a hard landing and will be able to provide positioning for other satellites and spacecraft in lunar orbit, without the use of terrestrial navigation systems.
