Galaxies are large collections of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas, dust, and dark matter bound together by gravity. They range in size from dwarf galaxies with a few million stars to supergiants with one hundred trillion stars. The Solar System orbits around the Sun in our Milky Way galaxy. It contains planets, moons, and asteroids….
Space based solar power is an innovative concept that uses solar panels in space to generate renewable energy. This technology is environmentally friendly and can provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. It can also produce more electricity than a typical solar panel on a roof would, making it an efficient alternative to traditional fossil…
The International Space Station needs a lot of power to keep running. It requires the equivalent of powering 40 houses on Earth, which is why astronauts on the ISS use solar energy. NASA and Boeing have developed new solar panels that can perform better in outer space. They can generate 38% more electricity than standard…
The Solar System is a collection of planets, moons, comets and asteroids all traveling around a central star, the Sun. Our sun is 4.6 billion years old and its gravity holds all the objects in orbit. This solar system is diverse and complex. What is a planet? A planet is a body that orbits a…
The solar system space contains the Sun and a vast array of orbiting objects including planets, moons, asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and interplanetary dust. These are bound to the Sun by gravity, which pulls them together in a circle around the star. The process begins with an enormous cloud of gas and dust called a solar…

Since the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth, humans have been venturing into space. NASA is leading the way, but private companies, such as SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, are also developing capabilities that were once solely the domain of government agencies. Americans are largely supportive of NASA and…
If you want to be protected from the sun or rain while camping, you’ll need a tent that’s durable and waterproof. One of the best options is a solar system space canopy tent. The tent has a canopy that adjusts to three different heights. It’s also fire-resistant and protects you from UV rays. Easy to…
Our solar system is just a small part of the billions of galaxies that make up the universe. Every galaxy has its own set of stars, planets, and other celestial objects that orbit it. These things all orbit around the center of the galaxy, which is where the gravity forces them to move in a…
