What would happen to the Moon if Earth was shaped like a donut? The good news is, we'd still have it. Most likely, it would be pulled towards the hole, and bob up and down in the middle of the planet. Or, it could be affected by the gravity of the donut's outer edges, and create a figure eight orbit around Earth.

On the evening of May 10 into the morning of May 11 an extremely strong geomagnetic storm effected Earth causing the Northern Lights to appear across much of the world. Due to the extreme intensity of the storm, the lights appeared much further south than normal and in this case were directly overhead in much of New England. This once in a lifetime experience was had by millions including myself as I documented the show in southern Maine.

Space Shuttle secret mission STS-27, just seconds from disaster. Get the story from astronaut Hoot Gibson. STS-27 was the 27th NASA Space Shuttle mission and the third flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Launching on December 2, 1988, on a four-day mission, it was the second shuttle flight after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of January 1986. STS-27 carried a classified payload for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), ultimately determined to be a Lacrosse surveillance satellite. The vessel's heat shielding was substantially damaged during lift-off, and crew members thought that they would die during re-entry.

Uranus from my 16” inches telescope! #uranus #space #telescope #shorts

The largest star ever discovered, Stephenson 2-18, is absolutely massive. It's difficult to even wrap your mind around it. But when you compare it to the largest theoretical black hole in the universe, Phoenix-A, even the star looks tiny.

Does Jupiter really sometimes move backward in the sky? Discover the science behind this cosmic phenomenon.

In one of the least explored regions of our solar system, there is an ice giant that scientists believe can help us unlock some of the remaining mysteries of our universe. This video takes us on a journey there to explore planet Uranus, as well as its rings and moons, highlighting many fascinating features. We also look back on what was discovered by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, as well as subsequent findings by ground-based telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The ongoing search for ocean worlds and life beyond Earth makes Uranus an exciting target for the James Webb Space Telescope and for future up-close exploration.

A once-in-a-lifetime celestial event may be nearing — and Canadians will be able to see when it does. The binary star T Corona Borealis is set to go nova — which it does every 80 years — before September. The star is normally too faint to see with the naked eye but the explosion, when it occurs, will be nearly as bright as the North Star, according to NASA. “This is a real, live stellar laboratory where we can look at… all sorts of astrophysical interesting processes,” York University professor emeritus of physics and astronomy Paul Delaney told Global News.

NGC 5468, a galaxy located about 130 million light-years from Earth face-on spiral galaxy with four spiral arms that curve outward in a counterclockwise direction. The spiral arms are filled with young, blue stars and peppered with purplish star-forming regions that appear as small blobs. The middle of the galaxy is much brighter and more yellowish, and has a distinct narrow linear bar angled from 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock

In 2018, Marshall Space Flight Center uploaded a ton of really cool old "Saturn V Quarterly Updates". Watching these videos really helped me understand the scale of the Apollo program. What our ancestors did was absolutely amazing

What if Earth was the size of Jupiter?

The Andromeda Galaxy, also known as M31, is a neighboring spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way. It's a popular target for astronomers and astrophotography's due to its relative proximity and striking appearance in the night sky. Capturing images of Andromeda at very high resolutions can reveal incredible details of its structure, stars, and nebulae. When people refer to "Andromeda's gigapixels," they're often talking about high-resolution images of the galaxy that contain billions (or even trillions) of pixels. These images are typically created by stitching together multiple exposures taken with powerful telescopes equipped with high-resolution cameras. For instance, the Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of Andromeda over the years, including a massive mosaic image known as the "Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury" (PHAT). This mosaic comprises thousands of individual exposures taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), covering a vast area of the galaxy in unprecedented detail. The PHAT survey provides an immense dataset for astronomers to study the stellar populations, star formation, and structure of Andromeda. It's an example of how modern telescopes and imaging techniques allow us to explore distant galaxies with incredible precision and resolution. These gigapixel images of Andromeda not only showcase the beauty of the galaxy but also serve as valuable resources for scientific research and public outreach, inspiring awe and wonder about the cosmos.

You start your day hearing wild news. Jupiter has just swallowed Saturn. And it doesn't stop there. Jupiter is on its way to swallow every planet in the Solar System.
