Cosmos
The largest crater in the Solar System is located on the surface of Ganymede, Jupiter’s largest moon.
The crater has a diameter of 15.600 kilometers and was discovered on 7th August 2020. So far it has not been named.
Aurora
Auroras take many shapes. They can appear in the form of colored rays, streaks, ribbons, curtains, crowns, arcs, and others.
Moon
There are many theories about the formation of the Moon, but the most probable is that in the early days of the Solar System, the proto-Earth collided with a celestial body the size of Mars, and this impact generated enough energy to throw enough material into Earth's orbit to form the Moon.
Large Magellanic Cloud
It is located approximately 163.000 light-years from the Milky Way.
The measurement error from 2013 is 2.2 percent.
Earth
The Earth formed from a proto-planetary disk around the Sun about 4.54 billion years ago.
For its first billion years, it was a hostile, harsh, rocky place where life did not exist. According to research, the first living organisms appeared in Earth's oceans about 3.5 billion years ago.
Liver
It converts glucose to glycogen, which is released between meals.
Snow
Snow is formed from the finest droplets of over-cooled water in clouds.
These droplets attach themselves to nuclei of crystallization, which can be, for example, dust parti ...
Moon
The density of the Moon is on average 3346,4 kg/m3.
It is therefore the second densest moon in the Solar System, second only to the moon Io.
Earth
The Earth, like all planets in space, is doomed to destruction.
Life on the surface of our planet has been wiped out many times by great cataclysms called great ext ...
Mushrooms
All fungi are foreign organisms, they can only occur in habitats containing organic compounds.
Many species for their lives require a small amount of them. They can be saprophytes feeding on dead organic matter, or parasites developing at the expense of other, living organisms.
