Sunlight may appear colorless, but its makeup consists of different wavelengths which combine to form what we perceive as white light. White light contains all of the colors from the rainbow including red, orange, yellow, green blue indigo and violet hues.

Spacecrafts or spaceships are vehicles designed for interstellar travel. Spacecraft is often the standard plural, while you could also say spaceships. Spacecraft from Earth may take years before returning to Mars, which now appears cold, dry and potentially lifeless. Memorizing the rules governing plurals of irregular nouns must become second nature; their rules differ significantly…

Since all the planets in our solar system orbit around Earth in elliptical paths, their distance can change over time – on average Mercury is…
Sunlight from Earth passes through Earth’s atmosphere and is scattered by gas molecules, producing many different patterns of illumination. Red, orange and yellow wavelengths pass directly through the atmosphere while blue-tinged wavelengths such as violet get strongly dispersed into other directions. Your eyes see the sky as blue due to certain physical processes; let’s discuss…
The Sky Blue Song can be heard at every Coventry City match and has become synonymous with our club following escapes from relegation, the League Two Play-Off Final and triumphs over Colchester United – but how did it begin?

Coral reefs provide shelter and sustenance to millions of marine organisms, from small organisms like planktonic algae to more complex organisms like human beings. They form in shallow ocean waters near the equator and thrive best when warm waters with clear visibility are available. Corals feed off of tiny algae known as Zooxanthellae living within…
Orion spacecraft that completed 2022’s Artemis I mission has now returned to Ohio where it will undergo additional tests at the Neil Armstrong Test Facility. These tests will enable engineers to stress-test Orion before its first crewed flight is scheduled for 2025 on Artemis II, among other aspects. In particular, test flights will assess its…
Conspiracy theorists claim that Apollo missions were faked as an effort to undermine USSR dominance in space exploration, increase Nasa funding or simply divert attention away from Vietnam War issues.
