A surprising pattern of galactic evolution emerged in recent study by NASA astronomers. Contrary to their opinion that nearby galaxies had achieved their present state 8 billion years ago, observations suggest galaxies were changing steadily during this time period.
In this introductory lecture, Dr. Gerda Horneck of the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne describes Astrobiology as a newly emerging field of science.Astrobiology comprises the study of the overall pattern of chemical evolution of potential precursors of
Most researchers agree that the Moon formed five billion years ago from debris blasted off Earth in a giant impact. Scientists presented some new evidence supporting the theory that Moon was, indeed, born of a cataclysmic collision between worlds 4.5 billions of years
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center’s visualization studio made an amazing video of Sun using a gradient filter which highlighted the details of the sun’s complex magnetic fields. Gradient filter helps researchers in better understanding how solar activity affects
