Astronomers Just Saw the Biggest Boom Since the Big Bang

It was an epic space explosion that made scientists’ hair stand on end when they discovered it in February 2020! Its size and power are enormous even by cosmic standards… It’d take 2.6 billion years to get to where this explosion occurred in space. And here’s the real kicker: this burst lasted 100 million years! That’s from today’s digital world with smartphones and self-driving cars all the way back to dinosaur times! So what set off this space boom of epic proportions? A black hole, what else! This monster swallowed so much substance that it choked and shot out a bunch of plasma beams. They cut through space and formed a cosmic wasteland all around the site! It was thought to be the biggest explosion in the universe. But sooner or later, every record gets broken! So, here's a new portion of the most incredible, awe-inspiring, and unbelievable facts about space. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our Universe Bumped Into A Neighboring One, What Next?

Our home planet is the Earth, it's located in our Solar System together with seven other planets. If we zoom out a bit, you'll see the Milky Way - our home galaxy. If we zoom out even further, we'll see an infinite number of other galaxies. But what if two galaxies collide? Would there be another Big Bang or the end of it all or maybe two galaxies would merge into each other? Scientists claim the collision of parallel worlds has already happened. Here's the proof...

A Giant Wall Was Discovered at the Edge of Our Universe

Would you like to travel to the edge of our Universe? I've always wondered what it looks like: if there's a giant black hole at the border or maybe a portal to another Universe... Here's the answer! Scientists claim they've discovered a giant 'wall' at the end of our Universe. This wall of galaxies is at least 1.4 billion light-years long. And it is situated right behind the Milky Way galaxy, in a place called the Zone of Galactic Obscuration. The galaxy’s brightness must have kept the wall shrouded in plain sight.

Rarest Objects That Visited Our Solar System

Our solar system has had some really rare visitors. Oumuamua was the first known interstellar object to zip through our solar system, and scientists think it might be a weird-shaped asteroid or even a piece of a broken planet. Then there's Comet Borisov, another interstellar traveler that gave us a peek at what comets from other solar systems look like. Asteroid 514107, also known as Kaʻepaokaʻāwela, has an unusual backwards orbit around the sun, probably because it was captured from another star system. Let's dive into their unusual world!

Mars Has a Secret Underground And Scientists Just Unlocked It

You won't believe what scientists just found out about Marsquakes! Turns out, a bunch of them aren’t even from underground—they’re actually caused by meteorite impacts. Using AI and data from NASA’s InSight mission, researchers linked 49 quakes to space rocks slamming into the surface. That means Mars is getting hit 2.5 times more than we thought, with new craters popping up all the time. But here’s the wild part: those impacts send shockwaves deep into the planet through something called a “seismic highway.” It’s showing us that Mars is way more unstable beneath the surface than we ever imagined.

Common Space Myths Debunked by Actual Astronauts

Hey, Myth-busters! Today we’re debunking some classic space myths. Hop on the next space shuttle and let’s get to the bottom of these tales once and for all! Picture this: you’re floating weightlessly in space, sipping on a cup of delicious hot chocolate, when a peculiar thought pops into your head. Can you scream in outer space? And if yes, would anyone hear that scream? If you’ve watched the movie “Alien”, then you know the answer to this one. You can’t hear sounds in outer space. It’s not that sounds don’t exist. It’s just that you can’t hear them. There’s no one better to clarify this myth than Chris Hadfield. He’s been on a couple of spacewalks during his life as an astronaut. And once you’re out there in the darkness of space, you can’t hear anything. All you hear is silence. Complete silence. But hey, just around the corner is a massive ball of explosion, aka, the Sun. We just can’t hear the explosions happening because there’s no medium for sound to travel through. It would be quite uncomfortable for an astronaut, though, if they could hear all the noises going on in outer space. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our Solar System Lost a Planet - Why Is It Gone?

Did you know our solar system might have had an extra planet? Scientists believe a mysterious ninth planet once existed but got kicked out long ago! This "lost" planet could have been tossed into deep space during the early chaotic days of our solar system when massive planets were still shifting around. Jupiter or Saturn may have used their strong gravity to fling it away, sending it drifting into the unknown. If this planet is still out there, it could be wandering somewhere far beyond our reach. So, was our solar system supposed to have one more planet? Looks like the universe had other plans! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What Happens When Stars Kiss

When stars get really close to each other, it's like they're having a cosmic kiss. These star kisses can cause huge explosions called supernovae, lighting up the sky with incredible brightness. Sometimes, the stars can merge together to form an even bigger star. Other times, they might create a super-dense object called a black hole.
