Did you hear the news about the Sun's poles doing a little dance? Yeah, turns out they're shifting, which sounds pretty wild, right? So, what's the deal – are we in for some cosmic chaos? Well, scientists say it's totally normal, but it could mess with things like our satellites and navigation systems. Guess even the Sun likes to keep us on our toes! 🌞🔄 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Breaking news: human technology has touched the Sun! Wow! How's that for a breakthrough? Parker Solar Probe was launched in 2018 to explore the Sun and travelled closer to the scorching-hot giant than any spacecraft before. NASA spacecraft entered the solar atmosphere, making it the first time a piece of human technology touched the Sun. What else did the spacecraft find out? Did it uncover any mysteries of the Sun? By the way, researchers are expecting another approaches in 2022. There're even plans for the probe to make a fly-by around Venus. It'll gain more speed and approach the Sun at a record close distance. I'll make sure to tell you all about it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is there an alien civilization next door? It’s quite possible. Proxima Centauri b is in the habitable zone and is pretty similar in mass to the Earth. NASA's telescope might have detected proof of artificial lights coming from that planet. What is it? An alien city or maybe lights from their vehicles? Or some sort of signal they might be sending us? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our planet rotates once every 24 hours in respect to the Sun - this time is know as the solar day. The current speed of rotation is about 1,000 miles per hour. That's a lot, but we don't really feel this speed and it doesn't affect us. But what if this speed got much faster - let's say... the speed of light. If the Earth was rotating at the speed of light, how would it affect our planet and our lives? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's going on outside of our Solar System? Well, a lot! An exoplanet is any planet that's located beyond the borders of our Solar System. What are they like?

It takes the Earth a little more than 365 days to make a complete trip around the Sun. It happens because of the Sun's gravitational pull. But what if it was the other way round? What if the Sun rotated around our planet? Would it lead to catastrophic results or we wouldn't even notice the difference? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The sun has a regular heartbeat, and we call it the solar cycle. But it's been a bit of a drama queen lately because it's experiencing a "solar minimum." Translation: fewer sunspots and less solar activity. Solar flares and sunspots usually spice things up, but they've been pretty scarce lately. Scientists have noticed that the Sun's magnetic field is getting all tangled up. This could mean some interesting magnetic storms on Earth, so keep an eye out for crazy auroras! Some folks are even suggesting this could be the start of a "Grand Solar Minimum" where the Sun chills out and we see cooler temperatures on Earth. So, keep those shades handy because the Sun's unpredictable behavior is making the space news headlines! 😎🌌🔭 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Astronauts can survive on the International Space Station (ISS) for quite a while. On average, they stay up there for about six months. The ISS is like a high-tech home, complete with exercise equipment and scientific experiments. But living in microgravity can weaken muscles and bones, so astronauts have to work out every day to stay in shape. Eventually, they would need to return to Earth. If they stayed up there too long, their muscles and bones could weaken to the point where they'd struggle to walk when they got back. Plus, they'd run out of supplies sent from our planet.

Phobos is gradually getting closer to Mars due to tidal forces. In a few tens of millions of years, it's expected that Phobos will get so close to Mars that the planet's gravity will tear it apart, creating a ring of debris. This process is entirely natural and has happened to other moons in our solar system, like Saturn's moon, Phoebe. So, no need to worry about any Martian evil plans – it's just the ongoing celestial dance of our neighboring planet and its moon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On February 18, 2021, NASA made history by successfully landing the Perseverance rover on Mars. The whole world celebrated the news! ? But that left some of us wondering, "What's next?"

Did you hear about that Indian spacecraft that landed on the Moon? It was a big deal 'cause it hit the south pole, which had never been done before. The rover and lander found some cool stuff, like clues about the Moon's makeup and history, which is gonna be super helpful for future missions. But get this: they didn't find any water up there, even though that was the main goal. They thought the polar regions might have some 'cause they're super cold and shady. But hey, here's a twist - turns out, the best bet for finding water might be beneath the surface, not on top! That's some next-level discovery right there. Learn more about your ad choices.

So, Mars used to be this cool planet with an ocean, believe it or not. But that ocean is now kind of stuck, nowhere to go. Scientists think it turned into ice and got trapped under the planet's surface. Imagine having an ocean but being unable to take a dip! They reckon the Red Planet's climate change played a part in this aquatic lockdown. So, long story short, Mars' ocean is still hanging out, just in a frozen, underground state.

Our Solar System includes 8 beautiful different planets... Or does it? There have long been heard theories about the mysterious Planet Nine. And right now we're closer than ever to finding that mysterious extra Planet than ever before. Scientists have found a dark giant at the edge of our Solar System and claim it could be it... IRAS, which is the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, collected interesting data back in 1983 that proves Planet Nine could be out there. According to the data gathered, it might be 5 to 10 times the mass of our own planet and up to 20 times further away than Neptune. How could it be hiding out there for so long?

Picture this: you're an astronaut, floating around in the vastness of space, and oops, you drop a tool. Now, that innocent wrench or screwdriver becomes a high-speed projectile with no chill. In the vacuum of space, there's no air resistance to slow it down, so it turns into a mini missile capable of damaging spacecraft or, heaven forbid, another astronaut. It's like playing cosmic dodgeball, but with serious consequences. So, rule number one for spacewalks: hold on to your tools tighter than you'd hold your morning coffee.
