  Psyche Mission Hi everyone, today I am going to talk about an important opportunity and mission to everyone. So let's talk over it, today! Only an Illustration  Introduction This mission explores a class of objects that we haven’t explored  in astronomy, which is asteroids. This object is in the Asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter). Scientists and astronomers studied this asteroid in different forms (infrared, visible wavelengths, and also radar) Well, this potato-shaped rich metal asteroid is a lot to learn about!  An Important Opportunity  This mission is very important  because it leads to an important opportunity, studying the core. Well, if we learned Earth’s core it would be too deep, too hot, and the instruments would melt, but Psyche could do the job. 16 Psyche is actually an asteroid, but also a cooled, iron core. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn a core we can relate to another core.  The Mission In August 2022 NASA will launch a p...

  My Visit Hi everyone, today I am sharing my exciting experience of visiting SpaceX Launch Pad Facility at Brownsville, TX/Boca Chica. Let's talk through it!  Many weeks ago, me , my family and friends we on a trip to South Padre Island, but with my passion and curosity I wanted to visit this place, and wish was fullfilled. I felt happy, and I noticed that it was most special rocket in front of me. The rocket  was the special Starship. I felt so amazed,  because this rocket is very special, and it is the first rocket I saw physically.   On June 13th, 2022 there was a flight test to see, but sadly I wasn't there at the time it was about to launch to test, but it's ok. Now, let's learn about this special rocket. About Starship   This space vehicle is completely reusable and can hold up to 100 people per launch. It has 35,000 cubic feet of the volume of the payload in this rocket. Amazingly, it can carry more than 100 tons of cargo.  The fuel of thi...

  Black Holes Black holes, black holes, black holes are amazing things, I guess today we'll talk about that! Well, let's begin!! Intro Ok, Ahem! A black hole is an extremely powerful object in space/astronomy, that there are tons of mass. And have astounding gravitational fields, but first, this might pop you with a lot of questions. Like, how do black holes form? How many types of Black holes are there? Is it dangerous? Who found black holes? Who found black holes? Roger  Penrose and Albert Einstein proved that black holes existed. Albert Einstein knew that there is a black hole by using his general theory of relativity. Roger Penrose discovered and revealed that black holes exist by spectating quantum physics and relativity.  A Dangerous Phenomenon Is a black hole dangerous? Indeed, it is a very treacherous thing in space. In fact, we can't escape from it, not even the speedy light! Wowsers! There was an astrophysics theory called "spaghettification". This theor...
