Saturn’s Beautiful Aurora Pictures

We can aurora on our planet Earth because auroras are nothing but simple natural display of lights that occurs because of collision of energetic charged particles that try to get into the Earth’s atmosphere from high altitude atmosphere. However, many space experts have now found auroras occurring on the poles of planet Saturn and which are very much identical with the auroras that happen on Earth. Andy Ingersoll, Team Member of Cassini Imaging have confirmed that they have seen ultraviolet auroras on the poles of Saturn and which look very …

How to Measure Our Big Universe?

There is no doubt that the universe is a pretty big place and to measure it is almost impossible for anybody because you cannot really define and start and end points on it. If you try to move out from the Earth towards the universe you will find that there are multiple artificial satellites that revolve around our planet and it certainly takes them days and months together to make one full circle. Watch this video to get some ideas on how to measure the size of our big universe.…

The Mysterious Saturn Hexagon

Saturn has always remained one of the most mysterious planets in our solar system. This is probably why space scientists and experts have done a lot of research work on it. However, the mystery hexagon on Saturn still remains a mystery that none of the space experts have been able to explain so far. In 2007, modern imaging technology revealed that Saturn is much more complicated and mysterious than imagined because it has a hexagon on its pole that has been there for more than 20 years now.…

What Does Earth, Jupiter and the Moons Look Like When Viewed from Mars?

What does Earth look like when viewed from Mars? At 13:00 GMT on 8 May 2003, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) had an opportunity to find out. In addition, a fortuitous alignment of Earth and Jupiter—the first planetary conjunction viewed from another planet—permitted the MOC to acquire an image of both of these bodies and their larger satellites. At the time, Mars and the orbiting camera were 139 million kilometers (86 million miles) from Earth and almost 1 billion kilometers (nearly 600 million miles) from …

First Amateur Picture of Saturn

A team of GLP curious lads tested their 14″ telescope with the computer control software and the live camera. Here is a quick image of Saturn to give you an idea of what their scope can do. The image could be better focused but you get the idea. According to them, “was a cool night of testing the scope software and cam”.…

Ice and Dust at the Mars North Pole

These rare Mars North Pole images, which is an additional set of Giant Ice Lake found on Mars, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on ESA Mars Express spacecraft, were released as one of a set for a European Space Agency (ESA) conference about water, ice, glaciers and volcanism on Mars. I like to quote an interesting comment by my fellow stumbleupon friend, Jeffrey (JSDavis82), “Where there’s ice, there’s water. Where there’s water, there’s life“. I think it is about a time we will …

Giant Ice Lake Found on Mars

This is a giant patch of frozen water inside an unnamed impact crater on Mars. The existence of this water-ice patch on Mars makes life a more likely possibility and raises the prospect that past or present life will one day be detected. At a glance, the Mars’ lake looks like a blueish fried chicken egg. Don’t you agree with that? …

Mars Sunset [PIC]

NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit captured this stunning view of the Sun sinking below the rim of Gusev crater on Mars. This Panoramic Camera (Pancam) mosaic was taken around 6:07 in the evening of the rover’s 489th Martian day, or sol. Because Mars is farther from the Sun than the Earth is, the Sun appears only about two-thirds the size that it appears in a sunset seen from the Earth. The floor of Gusev crater is visible in the distance, and the Sun is setting behind.
