Science and technology, explained simply
Approximately 66 million years ago, a giant asteroid fell to Earth, forming the Chicxulub crater. The dinosaurs were not warned about the approach of this terrible threat. This is reported by the ScienceAlert portal. If such an event were to occur today, a shock wave 2 million times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb would […]
Physicists from the University of Rochester set themselves the task of developing a practical method of creating a space in space in which people could live peacefully without the costly launch of the necessary materials from Earth. A paper in the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, which the researchers called “wildly theoretical,” explores […]
NASA’s $324.5 million DART mission, which launched last year, is nearing its dramatic climax — on the night of September 27, one of the automated probes is expected to collide with the asteroid satellite Dimorphos at a speed of 6,258.56 m/s. This is the first attempt by mankind to deflect an astronomical object in this […]
