"We've learned a lot about your solar system, Dr. Smith. What do
you know about other places in the universe?"
"Humans would have known little about space if they didn’t
have the desire to research the unknown. Humans have come a long way from the
mysterious beginning of time. From being sucked into a black hole or creating
another big bang, humans have tried to discover ways of recreating the history of our
universe."
Black Holes have been around since the beginning of time, but humans didn’t
know about them until scientists invented new ways of looking at the universe.
This is because black holes are black, but so is the universe, so we can’t see
them. Black holes are the most mysterious object in the entire universe and are
created by dead stars. They can suck in the whole universe on create the end of
us. They may also be entrances to parallel universes.
Did you know an explosion of atoms created your body? This explosion was
called the Big Bang. The Big Bang was probably responsible for the beginning of
all time, and humans. Scientists cannot explain what there was before the big
bang. They think there was no "before." They say the universe was a
condensed ball of atoms that was so packed together it exploded, causing the
present universe.
Stars live for a very long time. It takes thousands of years, and many
stages, to form. When stars die they blow up into a supernova. After a supernova
has cooled it may form a black hole.
What is an extra solar planet? Here you will learn what it is and where some
extra solar planets are. Are they made of gas or rock? Will they have life on
them? How big are they? All these questions are answered in this section, and
you will find out other interesting facts here, as well as some possibilities of
life on planets in our solar system!
One day, the Earth will no longer be able to support its rapidly growing
population. With energy and resources growing thin, humankind will have to leave
our world and learn how o live in space. From the torus colony to the space
elevator, our technology is growing rapidly. Scientists today are thinking of
more ways to survive and live in space.
Brown dwarfs are one of the mysteries of the universe. They are failed stars
that don’t produce light. When they were first discovered in 1995 nobody knew
what they were for sure. They were bigger than planets, but smaller than stars.
It was also very hard to find brown dwarfs because scientists weren’t looking
in the right places, but now brown dwarfs might even be as common as stars.
