Universal time is the measure of time based on the rotation of earth on its axis. Basically, it is measured from the time after midnight in the Greenwich Time zone in England. It is the time when the sun is at 180 degrees longitude. Photo by: Fonadier Creative Commons The UT is the basis of […]
If you take a look at some photos of the galaxy, like our very own Milky Way, you may see that there is a region where most of the stars lie mostly and bulge. It is known as a galactic disc. It is flat and it is where stars from the ordinary to the biggest
The National Solar Observatory or NSO is an astronomy organization that focuses on studying the Sun and whose main mission is to advance our knowledge about the Sun, both as an object of astronomy and as a very dominant external factor that influences the Earth. It aims to provide tools, resources, and forefront observational opportunities

An astronomical interferometer is a means used by most astronomers to detect radio, sound or light waves in space or also in earth as well. It is usually an array or cluster or a group of radio antennas or satellite dishes located and placed in a specific area of land to detect and intercept any
Hypergalaxy is a system that consists of a dominant spiral galaxy that is surrounded by a cloud of smaller satellite galaxies which are often elliptical. The Milky Way in which Earth is located and the Andromeda Galaxy are examples of hypergalaxies.
In physics and chemistry, superfluid refers to a special phase of matter which has been cooled to temperatures that are near absolute zero, its molecules exhibit unusual quantum properties. We know of superfluids being prepared in large laboratories to perform experiments. However through more recent space explorations and observations, it has been determined that superfluids
Although planets are known as celestial bodies that are of greater magnitude in comparison with other forms such as asteroids and comets, there are more specific categories that depict each planet according to size. There are interstellar planets, those which are not bound to any star but orbit the galaxy; extra-solar planets, or planets outside
If you are looking for a particular star and are having a hard time finding it, you can utilize the method known as star hopping. Star hopping involves the use of known stars and constellations in order to find ones that may not be visible to the naked eye or are difficult to spot.
You have probably heard about inferior and superior planets and you might have wondered what these differences are. Being a superior planet doesn’t necessarily mean that a planet is huge compared to an inferior planet. The inferiority or the superiority of a planet refers to how near the planets’ orbits are in relation to Earth.
Although the public is familiar with microwaves as a tool to heating food, generally microwaves are minute wavelengths of electromagnetic energy that can be measured using centimeters, and are used in a broader sense. It is even believed in theory that microwaves are the cooled and calmed form of gamma radiation.
