Throughout the history of astronomy, the Hubble telescope has been on of the most crucial inventions. The Hubble telescope has enabled astronomers to look farther into the universe than any telescope before. In addition, the Hubble telescope has allowed us to see far away objects more clearly than any other preceding telescope. When it is utilized beyond the earth’s atmosphere, astronomers...

There are lots of short-lived acceleration vectors of mean magnitude that are randomly located in a quantum vacuum. The vectors in alignment with the frame look smaller while the vectors going against the frame look larger when the vacuum is viewed in an accelerated frame. This results in a net polarization within the vacuum. However, the result is linear if the acceleration (g) of the frame is...

Telescopes allow us to view objects in outer space that we would not be able to see with the naked eye, thus, they are often called windows towards the universe. Telescopes allow us to study the solar system and formations of stars. They also enable us to view various planets, galaxies, asteroids, and more beyond our solar system and even the Milky Way. They act as barrier-breaking instruments...

There’s usually one fundamental instance that we can all go back to when it comes to astronomy. This is looking up at the seemingly endless stars and planets on a clear night away from city lights for the first time. For city dwellers, this can be a rare beauty to see. Most of us have no idea the vast panorama of lights that brighten up a clear night sky when you are away from the...

Often times, the first thing that comes to mind when asked about astronomy is a telescope. However, this is a common misconception. For some purposes, a pair of binoculars will work just fine. In fact, binoculars are a great starting point when first getting into astronomy. You can spend hundreds of dollars on a telescope that may possibly not be suitable for your viewing purposes. Many star...

Kosmická sonda Evropské kosmické agentury Huygens úspěšně sestoupila na povrch Titanu, největšího měsíce planety Saturn, 14.ledna 2005. Odhalila nám nová a zcela mimořádný svět. Jedinečná data získaná šesti experimenty umístěnými na palubě sondy jsou nyní archivovaná v ESA Planetary Science Archive (PSA). Kopie archivované skupiny dat je dostupná také v NASA...

Když před dvěma měsíci prezentoval na prof. Ray Jayawardhana (Univerzity of Toronto, Kanada) na konferenci Americké astronomické společnosti v Calgary své objevy prachových disků okolo mnohem menších "příbuzných" tak zvaných hnědých trpaslíků - objektů o planetární hmotnosti, někdy označovaných jako "planemos" (PLANEtary Mass Objects), které neobíhají kolem hvězd a...
