The dark spots on the #moon were first mistaken as oceans that dried up, explaining their name “maria," which means “seas” in Latin. When in reality, they are scars from molten #lava and violent #impacts from #asteroids and #meteorites!

About 13.8 billion years ago the #universe expanded faster than the speed of #light for a fraction of a second in a period called #cosmic inflation.

The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope #JWST is all about solving the mysteries of #NGC346, which is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby #galaxies. However, the new findings by Webb have made NGC346 a bit less mysterious.

The James Webb Space Telescope #JWST has captured a pair of #galaxies distorting each other as they merge in a great galactic get-together.
The ongoing cosmic collision imaged by Webb is known as II ZW 96. It is roughly 500 million light-years from #Earth and located in the #constellation #Delphinus, according to a Nov. 30 #NASA statement.

This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth. Without it earth would most likely be uninhabitable for humans. Mad respect for Jupiter.

Magnetic field lines detected by the airborne SOFIA observatory are overlaid on a Hubble image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). Surprisingly, the magnetic field lines in the outer arms do not follow the galaxy's spiral shape. Intense star formation in these outer regions may be causing magnetic chaos, and the gravitational tug of neighboring galaxy NGC 5195 probably also plays a role.

One of the new high-resolution simulations of the dark matter enveloping the Milky Way and its neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. The new study shows that earlier, failed attempts to find counterparts of the plane of satellites that surrounds the Milky Way in dark matter simulations was due to a lack of resolution.

Jupiter’s largest moon has a salty ocean that contains more water than on Earth
Forget holidays in the Mediterranean. If you want vast ocean views, Jupiter’s biggest moon Ganymede is the place to be. The moon is larger than Mercury and would be classed as a planet if it were orbiting the Sun rather than Jupiter.

💢 You can't stand on Uranus
If we ever manage to travel to the gas planets, you might be in for a bit of a shock when you step off the spaceship. That’s because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune don’t have solid surfaces - they have a rocky core, but are mainly big balls of hydrogen and helium.

Saturn's rings are 90% water
Saturn is home to the Solar System’s most epic ice rink. Being so far from the Sun, the water in its rings is frozen into ice. It is one of four planets that have rings around them - the other gas planets do too. However, the rest were undiscovered until the 1970s when probes went to explore them. Saturn’s were the first rings seen through telescopes from Earth.

As the air then descends, it becomes warmer and drier and therefore more stable. It blankets the region below and stabilizes the air contained within, causing people within that region to notice a calm before the storm.
