Perhaps for some, these facts will not become news, but, I hope, at least something can interest everyone. And I also hope that many, like me, and contrary to the precepts of Sherlock Holmes, drag into their brain attic not only the necessary, but also simply interesting. I would be glad if this collection forces someone to delve deeper into the sources and double-check my statements

We understand what the space dumps are made of, where they are located and whether "heavenly" debris can fall on our heads
In 2017, astronomers were able to conduct a detailed study of the night side of one of the most dangerous and inhospitable planets in the solar system - Venus. It turned out that the darkness of the night hides mysteries and anomalies that modern science is unable to explain
The earth is a unique cradle of all living things. Protected by its atmosphere and magnetic field, we can not think about radiation threats, except those that we create with our own hands. However, all projects of space exploration - near and far - invariably run up against the problem of radiation safety. Space is hostile to life. We are not expected there
A group of scientists have hypothesized the concept of a "lunar ark" hidden inside the moon's ancient lava channels. This colossal repository can store the sperm, eggs and seeds of millions of species on Earth, thus creating a unique reserve for the rainy day
Nature is ruthless, bringing down thunderstorms, hurricanes and storms on a person. At such moments, it seems that the Earth is not the friendliest place, but in fact we are still lucky. On other planets, the weather is much worse
What could be more beautiful than the starry sky? Only the starry sky, on which you can find the brightest star and distinguish the constellation from asterism. So, 10 nice and useful facts about constellations
Did you know that the mass of the International Space Station is about 418 tons?
In addition to classical cosmological models, general relativity allows you to create very, very, very exotic imaginary worlds
In the lists of the main goals of all space programs, there is necessarily an item about the Moon, followed by an item about Mars. More than 60 years have passed since the first spacecraft went to the moon, and we have not gone too far in its study. And yet, in recent years, interest in the only satellite of the Earth has increased many times over
On April 10, 2019, a group of astrophysicists from the international project "Event Horizon Telescope", which is a planetary network of radio telescopes, released the first ever picture of a black hole
Many highly developed civilizations of the universe have technologies for interstellar movement and the creation of engineering structures on a planetary scale
In the comments under one of the previous videos, you asked me to talk about SpaceX. Well, let's figure it out. Let's start with the official legend
Some astronauts admitted that very strange and unusual things are happening to them in orbit - they feel themselves in the "skin" of animals from previous eras, another personality and even an alien being - a humanoid. Observed vision pictures - unusually bright, colored

A few years ago, on a very ordinary day, something very unusual happened to me
In space, there is a Universal law of the preservation and development of Life: every subsequent action takes place from the memory of previous actions, while a new memory structure is formed, where the first is a constituent part and does not change due to the continuous reproduction of itself in an exact copy under conditions of a rhythmic change in the polarity of the external magnetic field
As direct participants in the milestone events in the history of mankind, we all together and each separately will have to voluntarily or forcibly make our own existential
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb is convinced that the search for aliens is not a waste of money. In addition to an unusual asteroid, a sober calculation in the spirit of Blaise Pascal speaks in favor of spending on the search for alien intelligence. What have we got to lose if this search turns out to be fruitless? Some money that would otherwise have gone to something stupid, say a war
The author of the article tells in detail about four promising technologies that give people the opportunity to reach any place in the Universe during one human life. For comparison: using modern technology, the path to another star system will take about 100 thousand years
Where do the planets come from, and where do the stars themselves come from? And what are these "black holes" in Space, into which the stars fly away for billions of years? The author is trying to understand these difficult issues, attracting new, unconventional scientific data
In 2024, NASA will send humans to the moon for the first time in 48 years. This will be done within the framework of the Artemis program, which is divided into three parts

One of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena is fast radio bursts. These are short, several millisecond duration radio signals of an unknown nature, resulting from the release of an enormous amount of energy. More than a decade has passed since their discovery, but astrophysicists are still trying to figure out the mechanisms of their occurrence. The researchers cite neutron stars, black holes, and even transmitters of alien civilizations as possible sources
