Fear of aliens isn’t just sci-fi—it’s rooted in instinct, history, and culture. We project our own behavior: if humans exploit weaker beings, stronger aliens might do the same. In the end, this fear reflects more about us—our values, ethics, and hopes for coexistence.

Its density is just 0.69 g/cm³ (water is 1), so in a cosmic bathtub, Saturn would bob like a giant pool floatie. 🤯
Earth? Too dense—straight to the bottom. 💀

Astronomers have captured a newborn planet, WISPIT 2b, forming around a young star just 5 million years old. Nestled in a multi-ringed disk, it’s the first clear detection of its kind—offering a rare glimpse into the earliest stages of planetary birth.

No one truly knows who named our planet Earth 🌍. Unlike Mars or Venus, Earth wasn’t named after gods—it evolved from Old English and Germanic words for ‘ground’ or ‘soil,’ shaped over centuries instead of by a single person.

On Sept 7, 2025, a stunning Blood Moon (total lunar eclipse) will grace the skies. Visible across India, Asia, Africa & Australia, totality lasts ~83 min (11:00 PM–12:22 AM IST). The Moon, near Saturn, will glow deep red—don’t miss it!

The world’s most powerful solar telescope, DKIST, captured its first massive X-class flare and revealed ultra-thin magnetic loops just 21 km wide in the Sun’s corona. These details help scientists understand solar storms that can impact Earth’s technology and cause auroras.

16 Psyche is a metal-rich asteroid between Mars and Jupiter, possibly the core of a failed planet. Discovered in 1852, it’s 226 km wide and worth trillions in metals. NASA’s Psyche mission launched in 2023 will reach it in 2029 to study its secrets.

Earth emits a mysterious pulse every 26 seconds, first detected in the 1960s near the Gulf of Guinea. Scientists believe it may come from ocean waves hitting the seafloor, but its exact cause remains unknown.

The Moon can change color for many reasons—atmospheric scattering, eclipses, dust, smoke, or even volcanic ash. That’s why it sometimes glows red, orange, or hazy brown instead of its usual silver-white.

NASA’s Perseverance rover captured a video of Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, eclipsing the Sun using its Mastcam-Z camera system. This is the most zoomed-in and highest frame-rate recording of a Phobos solar eclipse ever taken from the Martian surface.

Cosmic Coincidence! 🌞🌙 The Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon, but it's also 400 times farther away making them appear the same size in our sky. This perfect alignment is why we experience stunning solar eclipses!
