Astronomers have long observed that Saturn’s rings appear to be raining down onto its planet in large quantities. This phenomenon occurs due to space rocks colliding with them or solar radiation slightly disturbing ring particles and electrifying them, creating the “rain.” Dust particles inevitably get pulled into Saturn’s upper atmosphere, where they burn up before…
Spacecraft are vehicles designed for travel in outer space, usually piloted or unpiloted and carrying scientific instruments for study and observation. China’s Tianwen 1 probe successfully reached Mars on May 14 and unloaded its six-wheeled rover Zhurong, named after the Chinese god of fire. To successfully land, retro rockets and landing legs were utilized. Mariner…

Kepler has generated an abundance of data since its launch ten years ago. Although originally designed to observe 160,000 stars across one patch of sky, the photometer has since been used to uncover thousands of planets. Discovering extrasolar planets was done through measuring their slight drop in brightness when they passed in front of their…
Human eyes are truly remarkable; anyone who has taken a visual acuity test knows that 20/20 vision is considered standard. Light enters our eyes through the cornea, which then focuses it. Next, our pupil — that central round opening in your iris’ colored part — changes size to allow in more or less light. The…
Hippos are large herbivores with powerful jaws. Their massive teeth help them eat grasses, ferns and aquatic plants which grow nearby; plus their mouths serve a useful purpose by scaring off predators! Though sea turtles can walk on land, they spend the majority of their time in water where it is safer for mating and…
It has vexed many scientists – even some of the greatest minds of 19th-century science – for many decades. He correctly surmised that white light is dispersed into its component colors by gas molecules in the atmosphere and that blue wavelengths tend to be scattered less intensely than other wavelengths. John Tyndall John Tyndall was…
