Astronomers Saw a Signal of Life on Venus in Its Clouds

Space Isn’t As Dark As We Know It

Space isn't the pitch-black void we always thought. In fact, it's like a cosmic disco party up there because of zillions of stars twinkling like disco balls, lighting up the space dance floor. There are these sneaky little things called cosmic rays zipping around like intergalactic party crashers, adding some neon glow to the mix! Oh, and let's not forget about galaxies, those giant glow sticks of the universe, creating psychedelic swirls of color! So, next time you look up at the night sky, just remember – space is the biggest, baddest, and most colorful party in town! Learn more about your ad choices.

Astronomers Saw a Signal of Life on Venus in Its Clouds

Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the Solar System - more than 1,600! An extreme greenhouse effect warms the planet's surface up to 870˚F - hot enough to melt lead. Winds there reach the speed of 450 miles per hour in the middle cloud layer -- faster than the speediest tornadoes on our planet. The pressure on Venus’s surface is 90 times higher than that at sea level on Earth. And recently, this incredible place has become even more intriguing. In the toxic Venusian atmosphere, there's something that might mean the existence of life! In 2017, a group of scientists from Cardiff University started to use the James Clerk Maxwell radio telescope in Hawaii. The main idea was to search for phosphine gas - it would be a sign of life on Venus. When the data came back, and the researchers analyzed it, they were shocked and even checked the results several times! So if you've always wondered if there's life on other planets, check this out.

What If the Dino-Killing Asteroid Hit Earth Somewhere Else

The asteroid roughly 10 km across hit Earth over 60 million years ago. One of the most devastating consequences was the mass extinction that wiped out 80% of all animal species. Its crater is now hidden below the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. But what if it landed in some other spot? Learn more about your ad choices.
