A spaceman named Harrison is on the Moon, standing next to the American flag. He took a cool picture where you can see our Earth in the sky and his friend Eugene in his helmet's reflection.

If you compressed the Sun into a sphere just 3 kilometers wide, it would become a black hole. That critical size is called the Schwarzschild radius. But our Sun isn’t massive enough to ever reach that point. When it dies, it’ll become a white dwarf. To form a black hole, a star

People hear “evolution is a theory” and think it’s a guess. It’s not. It’s a conclusion backed by mountains of evidence, fossils in rocks, shared DNA across species, even bacteria evolving in real time. Evolution isn’t something we believe. It’s something we’ve observed.

Imagine a place that tried to gather every piece of human knowledge- 2,000 years ago. That was the Library of Alexandria. Mathematicians like Euclid, astronomers like Eratosthenes, and inventors like Archimedes studied there. And this library laid the foundation of modern

Why does gravity make the Earth round? w/Brian Cox

The application of quantum mechanics has transformed modern technology. Without it, we wouldn’t have semiconductors, lasers, LEDs, or even the devices we’re using right now. It’s the reason why MRI machines work, GPS stays accurate, and solar panels generate electricity. What

Zoom out from Garching to the Universe

At some point, everyone has looked up at the night sky and wondered what it all means, how it all works, and where we fit in the vastness of the universe.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, but in all the time since, it hasn’t even finished one trip around the Sun. Its orbit is so vast that a single year on Pluto lasts 248 Earth years. The first full orbit since its discovery won’t be complete until 2178.

Dale un vuelco a la frustración: saberse equivocado es amargo primero, luego dulce y finalmente ¡tan salado! 🌊

The simplest explanation of relativity did not come from Einstein but from physicist John Wheeler. He explained it in one sentence: matter tells space how to curve and space tells matter how to move.
