🔵 Neptune, classified as a gas giant, remains one of the least studied objects in our solar system.

Visualisation of our solar system 💫

🪐 Mathematical, astronomical and biological patterns.

☀️ Approximately 1.5 million tonnes of solar material leave the Sun per second, hurtling into space. Although the Earth's magnetosphere provides protection, solar wind can penetrate close to the poles, interfering with satellite, radio and GPS communications.

🟠 Liquid water has been found on Mars in large quantities for the first time.

The water is 10-20 kilometres below the planet's surface. Scientists used the same methods that find underground water on Earth and found signs that there is water in the Martian interior too.

Frozen water exists at the planet's poles and there are traces of vapour in its atmosphere, but this find is the first known instance of liquid water.

🧑‍🚀 We offer to watch the process of undocking the spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS).

Oleg Artemyev is in charge of the operation.

According to new research by astrophysicists, a collision between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Nebula, previously thought to be inevitable, may not happen 💫

The Sturgeon Blue Supermoon 2024 (19 Aug. 2024) will be visible in the sky.

The so-called "Sturgeon Moon" is a combination of a super moon and a "Blue Moon" that happens about once every 15 years.

The moon will be large, bright and will emit a blue hue.

The constellations that we see from Earth are not flat formations, but only projections of stars on the celestial sphere 🌌

The visualisation shown does not show the stars to scale and only approximates their relative positions.

🪐 How does the solar system move through the universe? If you've been wondering that, this is the video for you!

The supernova remnants of SH2-240 represent the result of a star explosion that occurred about 40,000 years ago 💥

The explosion left behind a vast region filled with gas filaments, shock waves and the neutron pulsar star PSR J0538 + 2817. This region is 3,000 light years away from Earth.

ESA has unveiled a video compiled from thousands of Mars Express images that allows you to take a virtual walk through the Mawrth Vallis Canyon, which was likely the bed of an ancient river on Mars 🟠

At a distance of 300 million light years from Earth, two galaxies are colliding, known as Arp 273 💫

An astronomical unit (a.u.) is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun 💫

This unit of measurement is widely used in astronomy to determine distances within the solar system.
