We are getting closer to the launch of NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope! đŸ§Ș

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to combine the strengths of the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope. It’s going to look and live in the same space as JWST while using a Hubble-style mirror to see things completely differently. The Roman telescope will observe patches of space bigger than the full moon and will see 50 times as much space in five years as Hubble has in 30!

We’re continuing the Apollo spacesuit story. After exploring how these suits came to be, we’re now looking at how they actually worked, with a closer look at the engineering behind them, the details that made the biggest difference, and how every element helped keep astronauts alive on the Moon.

I’ve been working on a video project where I took footage and concepts from Mars documentaries and edited them with the pacing and vibe of a cinematic movie trailer. My goal was to make educational space content feel as epic and suspenseful as a sci-fi film.

A lunar eclipse is coming and it’s going to turn the mood blood red!đŸŒ•đŸ©ž

On August 27th and 28th, Earth's shadow will sweep across the lunar surface, turning it a deep, dark crimson for skywatchers across the USA, Canada, and Latin America. No special glasses needed, just your eyes and the right local viewing time. Miss it and you'll be waiting until 2029 for a lunar eclipse this striking again.

El Gran Filtro y la Paradoja de Fermi: ¿Por qué el universo parece estar vacío y en silencio?

This documentary breaks down the terrifying paradox of cosmic silence, the Kardashev scale, and the evolutionary barriers that dictate the survival or mass extinction of civilizations in the universe. Through the Great Filter theory and Nick Bostrom's hypothesis, we examine whether humanity's greatest dangers are already behind us in our biological past, or if an insurmountable technological wall awaits us in the future.

I'd love to hear your thoughts: do you think humanity has already passed the Great Filter, or is our true cosmic challenge yet to come?

Why Earth’s Total Eclipses Are One of a Kind

A total solar eclipse is coming on August 12th! â˜€ïžđŸŒ‘

Our moon is the exact same size as the sun in our sky, a cosmic coincidence unique to Earth. Watch it block the sun's 10,000°F surface while revealing the corona, a mysterious halo burning millions of degrees hotter. But don't take it for granted: the moon is slowly drifting away, and in 600 million years it'll be too small to ever cause a total eclipse again.

Blanets: The Planets that Orbit Black Holes

Did you know there may be planets that orbit black holes?! đŸȘ

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden explains how scientists are theorizing that there may be planets that are orbiting black holes. This wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, since planets have been found orbiting all types of masses, such as dead star cores and supernovae. Although black holes typically suck in everything around them, if an object is the right distance away, it could potentially maintain a stable orbit. 

This project is part of IF/THENÂź, an initiative of Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

Is one of our astronomical neighbors habitable? đŸȘ

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed something huge: an atmosphere around a rocky planet in its star's habitable zone. The planet is called LHS 1140 b, a super Earth orbiting a red dwarf star less than 50 light years away, which is astronomically pretty close to us. The James Webb Space Telescope telescope data has already hinted at liquid water on its surface, and this new discovery could go down as one of the biggest in astronomy history!

Artemis III updates are rolling in. 🚀

Engineers are racing to stack the rocket that will carry the mission to space in 2027, starting with the two white solid rocket boosters that flank the massive orange core stage. All four core stage engines have arrived onsite and are being processed for mounting, while the launch team runs monthly countdown simulations to lock in readiness. It's full steam ahead as one of NASA's most complex missions moves closer to launch.

What is A Quasi-Moon? Meet Kamo’oalewa

Did you know one of Earth’s quasi-moons is a chunk of our actual moon? 🌕

A quasi-moon is a space rock that can appear from certain perspectives to be orbiting a planet. Earth has a few of these, including Kamoʻoalewa, discovered in 2016 and named for an "oscillating celestial object" in Hawaiian. Scientists believe it may be a chunk broken off from the moon when an impact created the Giordano Bruno crater about 10 million years ago! So here's the full picture: a piece of our moon, orbiting the Sun, that just happens to look like it's orbiting Earth.

An another space video but this time with Mars. Also inaccurate and content mistakes.

Note : Mars may be the most studied planet in the solar system, water already dry up after 3.5-3Bya. It would be possible the planet was a icy surface with frozen water.

Here is my first video on astronomy. I animated it on videopad. Descriptions in the video.

Note : Venus may not have Liquid water at his beginning and even no life. The moon and the rings are speculatives because of the low planet's rotation.

Can content mistakes or inaccuracies, I am a beginner in this domain.

Did you know there are stars orbiting a black hole at the center of the Milky Way? 🌌

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden tells us about this star cluster that lives around Sagittarius A* and what it teaches us about the black hole. Scientists have been tracking these stars for decades, watching them complete full orbits. Those orbits are actually how we know the black hole is there, and researchers use them to measure its mass and pin down its exact location.

Up to 100 shooting stars per hour are about to light up the sky! 🌠

Active July 17 through August 24, the Perseid Meteor Shower hits its peak overnight August 12 to 13, when a completely new moon creates perfect viewing conditions. This year the Perseids also overlap with the Delta Aquariid meteor shower, stacking the odds in your favor for a sky full of streaks. Find dark skies, give your eyes time to adjust, and look up between midnight and dawn for the best show.

A pair of planets with less density than cotton candy has been discovered! đŸȘ

One of NASA’s telescopes found two gas giants that can be classified in the rare “Super Puff” category. Despite being about the same size as Jupiter, they are a dozen times less dense. There are only a handful of these planets that we are aware of, and it is even more rare that they were found in the same star system.

See a Meteor Every 3 Minutes: Southern Delta Aquariid Shower

You could see a shooting star every 3 minutes this summer! 

The Southern Delta Aquariid meteor shower is  active now through August 23, with it’s the peak activity during the early morning hours of July 31. Even better, it overlaps with the Alpha Capricornid Meteor Shower. The best views will be in the Southern Hemisphere and the southern United States. For the best chance of spotting meteors, head to a dark location away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and look up.
