Enceladus
Enceladus' geysers are the main source of material in Saturn's E ring.
This material also reaches Saturn's atmosphere, where water from the Enceladus eruption can be found.
Graphene
Another potential area of application of graphene is materials engineering.
Very high-quality graphene could be combined with other materials, e.g. rubber or plastics, which wo ...
Titan
The closest Cassini’s flight around Titan took place at an altitude of 880 km on June 21st, 2010.
Its aim was to check if Titan has its own magnetic field. As it turned out, it does not have a clear ...
Aurora
Auroras are not only present on our planet.
They were observed on all the giant planets in the solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Aurora
The particles that make up the solar wind, upon contact with the Earth's magnetic field, spiral along the lines of this field and collide near the magnetic poles with molecules of nitrogen and oxygen, etc.
They arouse them, and these, returning to the ground state, radiate energy in the form of light quanta.
Enceladus
The average density of Enceladus is 1.61 g/cm3.
Brain
The average weight of a brain ranges from about 1,225 to 1,375 grams.
Men's brains are heavier than women's brains, but the weight does not affect the brain’s performance. An infant's brain weighs only 350 grams.
Mushrooms
Mycelium are able to communicate with trees, plants.
This communication involves the multidirectional flow of information (in the form of chemical compou ...
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.
Earth
Depending on the classification, there are five to seven continents on Earth.
According to the most common division, there are Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, ...
