Why do meteors glow in different colors?

When a meteor flies into the Earth's atmosphere at breakneck speed, it begins to glow — and for a reason! The color of its glow depends on its chemical composition.

How about fireworks:

— Sodium — gives yellow light;
— Magnesium is white;
— Calcium — purple;
— Iron — yellow-white;
— Copper — green, etc..

The first blooming in space is the orange zinnia.

In 2016, a real beauty grew up on the ISS as part of the Veggie experiment. The astronauts had to fight weightlessness, moisture and mold, but it was worth it.

This is a mini-victory in the race for autonomous life in space.

NASA has stopped emitting black holes into music. This sonification describes the potential birth of an object from the massive star WR 124 — it sheds its outer layers, and at the end of its life may leave behind a black hole.

35 years ago, the launch that changed our view of the universe.

It was on this day, April 25, 1990, that the Hubble telescope was launched into orbit by the crew of the shuttle Discovery.

🟠 The night sky of Mars

On Mars, the night sky is dark, clear and simply mesmerizing. Without light pollution, the stars shine smoothly, and the Milky Way stretches like a bright ribbon.

The moon doesn't just look beautiful at night.

The moon's gravity not only creates tides, it stabilizes the climate of the entire planet. The moon smooths out the axial "shakiness" and thus keeps the climate within a more or less predictable framework.

Without it, we'd be either fried or frozen, like on a shuttle without stabilizers. So the next time you see the full moon, you can mentally thank her for not living in a climate hell.

A UFO? A dementor? Or is it still a cloud?

This strange phenomenon in the sky over Sydney caused a storm in the comments. The dark mass seemed to hover in the air above the water — it doesn't look like any of the usual clouds. Some saw her as a "liquid metal", others as a classic dementor.

In fact, it is most likely a lean type of cloud that appears at low altitude and has a chaotic, detached shape.

But let's face it, it looked like a shot from fiction.…

A prehistoric visitor from outer space.

The Murchison meteorite is one of the oldest rocks in the entire known universe. It is 4.6 BILLION years old (!), which means it is older than the Earth itself. And do you know what the most interesting thing is? Amino acids were found in it — the very building blocks from which human DNA is built.
