China Makes History Again: Chang'e-6 Returns with Groundbreaking Moon Samples

In a remarkable achievement, China has successfully collected samples from the far side of the moon, marking a significant milestone in space exploration. The Chang'e-6 mission, launched on May 3, touched down in the Apollo crater within the vast South Pole-Aitken basin on June 1. During its brief but productive stay, the spacecraft gathered approximately 2 kilograms of lunar material using a scoop and drill. The samples, now stored in an ascent vehicle, are expected to return to Earth on June 25, landing in Inner Mongolia. This historic achievement not only demonstrates China's space program prowess but also provides scientists with a unique opportunity to unravel the mysteries of the moon's formation and evolution.   Achievements: - *First-ever samples from the far side*: Chang'e-6 successfully collects lunar material from the moon's less-explored hemisphere. - *Second successful farside landing*: China builds on its 2019 achievement with...

Stephen Hawking's Perspective on the Existence of God: A Scientific Exploration

Stephen Hawking, a brilliant theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author, captivated the world with his groundbreaking scientific contributions and profound insights into the mysteries of the universe. While Hawking was best known for his work on black holes, the nature of space and time, and the origins of the cosmos, he also expressed his thoughts on the existence of God. In this article, we delve into Stephen Hawking's views on the matter, examining how his scientific perspective shaped his understanding of God and the universe. Exploring the Universe  Stephen Hawking believed that the universe could be understood through the lens of rational scientific inquiry rather than religious doctrine. His scientific endeavors focused on explaining the origins and workings of the universe using the laws of physics, mathematics, and cosmology. According to Hawking, the laws of physics allowed for the spontaneous creation of the universe without the need for a divine creator. Hawki...

When was the Big Bang?

The Big Bang was 13.8 billion years ago. "We get that number by the fact that the universe is expanding so when we look at galaxies, they’re all moving away from us and that’s true of every point in the universe. So, if you imagine the surface of a balloon with galaxies drawn on and you inflate it, they’re all moving apart from each other. But if you wind that back to when they were all together it was about 13.8 billion years ago. "So, there is something called a cosmic calendar where the entire history of the universe is squeezed into one year. So, if you have the Big Bang at one new year then all of human civilisation appears at 30 seconds to midnight on the 31 st  of December. So, compared to us that’s a very, very long time. "People often ask what came before the Big Bang and no one knows, and it’s possible there was nothing, which is very hard to explain because both time and space were created with the Big Bang and so now you are getting very metaphysical.

Jupiter Like Planet Discovered By NASA's Citizen Scientist

The signature for the newly discovered planet was hiding in data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS. Using TESS data, scientists look for changes in brightness of nearby stars, which could indicate the presence of orbiting planets. Jacobs is part of a group of citizen scientists who look at plots of TESS data, showing the change in a star’s brightness over time, in search of new planets. While professional astronomers use algorithms to scan tens of thousands of data points from stars automatically, these citizen scientists use a program called LcTools, created by Alan R. Schmitt, to inspect telescope data by eye. That’s why Jacobs’ group, which includes several citizen scientists and two veteran astronomers, calls themselves the Visual Survey Group. Many of them met while working on Planet Hunters, a NASA-funded citizen science project through Zooniverse that focused on data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft. On February 1, 2020, Jacobs happened to notice a plot ...
