Delve into the wonders of space science, exploring the cosmos from distant galaxies to our own solar system. This section covers astronomy, astrophysics,...
A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form from the remnants of massive stars collapsing under their own gravity.
Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star outside our solar system. Thousands have been discovered, some within potentially habitable zones, fueling the search for extraterrestrial life.
Current scientific estimates place the age of the universe at approximately 13.8 billion years, determined by measuring its expansion rate and analyzing cosmic background radiation.
The JWST's mission is to observe the first galaxies, study star and planetary system formation, and analyze exoplanet atmospheres to understand their potential for supporting life.
