Space fact: The Moon is moving away from Earth at about 1.49 inches (3.78 centimeters) per year. And as it moves away, its orbital period increases and Earth’s rotation slows down. #SpaceFacts #MoonFacts #AstroTrivia #ScienceFacts #Astronomy #SpaceExploration #DidYouKnow #CosmicDiscoveries

A new study suggests that we may be relatively alone in the universe. The analysis is based on the premise that, given a group of similar Earth-like planets, life should arise on nearly all of them or none of them given the lack of differences that would cause life to arize on some of them. That would mean that intelligent, technological life should also either be very common or very rare. The lack of evidence so far, from decades of SETI projects, to detect signals from other civilizations then led scientists to conclude that such life may therefore be rare, for any number of reasons. https://lnkd.in/eAWnCWXb #SETI #Astronomy #DrakeEquation #Space

Space Fact : Weather, as we experience it on Earth, does not exist in space. looking forward to this informative session.

🌍 Earth is often called the 'Blue Planet,' but did you know there's another fascinating blue world about 60 light-years away? Meet HD 189733b, a giant gaseous planet similar to Jupiter but much hotter, with surface temperatures soaring to 980°C (1800°F). 💨 This extreme exoplanet experiences winds up to 6,400 km/h (4,000 m.p.h.), making it a truly inhospitable place for life as we know it. What's even more astonishing is that it rains molten glass on HD 189733b! These rainstorms of glassy silicate particles give the planet its unique blue hue. ✨ HD 189733b is part of the "hot Jupiter" category, massive planets that orbit very close to their stars. These hot Jupiters are relatively easy to spot because they cause a significant drop in their star's light when they pass in front of it; HD 189733b, for instance, causes a three percent dip in its star's brightness. The wonders of our universe never cease to amaze! 🌌 #Astronomy #Space #Exoplanets #Science #Innovation #Curiosity #BluePlanet #HD189733b #HotJupiter

🌠 The Perseid Meteor Shower: A Celestial Spectacle Awaits! 🌠 As we approach the peak of the 2024 Perseid meteor shower on August 12, prepare to be dazzled by one of the most magnificent displays in the night sky. Under clear, dark skies, you’ll have the chance to witness countless meteors streaking through the atmosphere, a cosmic dance of dust from comet Swift-Tuttle. But have you ever imagined what this meteor shower looks like from above, not below? On August 13, 2011, astronaut Ron Garan captured an extraordinary view of a Perseid meteor from the International Space Station, orbiting 380 kilometers above Earth. This awe-inspiring photograph offers a rare perspective, with the meteor appearing as a brief, radiant streak just below the greenish glow of Earth’s horizon. From the station's vantage point, meteors sweep below as they burn up in the atmosphere, their fiery trails racing through the denser air around 100 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This breathtaking image reminds us of the beauty and wonder that the universe offers, not just from our planet but from the space beyond. ✨ This weekend, don’t miss your chance to look up and experience the magic of the Perseid meteor shower. With a dark sky free of moonlight interference, the conditions are perfect for a night of stargazing and meteor-watching. #PerseidMeteorShower #Astronomy #Space #MeteorShower #ISS #Cosmos
