Tswaing Crater is an impact crater in South Africa accompanied by a museum. It is located 40 km northwest of Pretoria. The diameter of the crater is 0.70 miles (1.13 km) and 100 meters (330 feet) deep. Tswaing Crater’s estimated age is approximately 220,000 years old during the Pleistocene period. The meteorite … Read more
The strange phenomena of different types of celestial objects and bodies have always excited us! There are many of them out there that have such unique aspects that scientists have not been able to figure out despite years of research. For example, some comets are extremely bright and pass by close to … Read more
Comets are one of the most studied celestial objects by astronomers. Over the years, there has been increased study and research on many of them as they appear close to Earth and provide indications about space. These comets are sometimes traveling for hundreds of years in their orbit. One such comet is … Read more
Comet discoveries are always unexpected and astonishing. Finding a new celestial object in our solar system indicates that there is a possibility of various new aspects that we can find out about our solar system. However, comet discoveries are neither frequent nor easy to spot despite the better technology. One of the … Read more
The Pingualuit Crater is formerly known as Chubb Crater and New Quebec Crater. It is relatively a younger impact crater located on the Ungava Peninsula in the administrative region of Nord-du-Quebec, in Quebec, Canada. The diameter of the Pingualuit Crater is 2.14 miles (3.44 km). It is estimated to be 1.4 million … Read more
The Halley’s Comet has always fascinated scientists for its periodic arrival on Earth. However, few studies have been conducted on it because the orbital period is so long at about 75 to 76 years. For this reason, scientists have focused on other comets such as the Tempel-Tuttle Comet which has a short … Read more
Kaali Crater Field is not one but a group of nine meteorite craters. It is located in the town of Kaali on the Estonian Island of Saaremaa which is 11 miles away from the island capital. The impact crater site consists of one large crater along with 8 smaller craters. The formation … Read more
Comets in our solar system have always been an interesting phenomenon. The unique characteristics, chemical properties, and the search for life outside Earth are all explored through comets as well as other celestial objects. However, some of these comets have collided and exploded very close to our planet. While this does present … Read more
The most basic level of the study of matter and energy is called quantum physics. It tries to learn more about the characteristics and actions of nature’s fundamental building blocks. It also studies extremely microscopic objects to examine how matter behaves and what goes on inside of atoms. While many quantum studies … Read more
The fundamental background energy that permeates all of the space in the universe is known as vacuum energy. It is the zero-point energy that is related to the quantum vacuum and whose effects are believed to have an impact on the behavior of the universe on cosmological scales and have been empirically … Read more
