How Long Would It Take to Reach the Moon in a Straight Line?

This is how corn grows...

This single-celled protozoan passing though another one under a microscope

Watching the Moon actually rotate puts into perspective just how beat up that far side really is. It looks like a completely different planet from the back. 🪐🤯

This is the proof that the Moon landings were NOT faked...

Just found out this is a dark morph Eurasian Red Squirrel and I’m obsessed. He looks like a literal Pokémon. 🐿️✨

You think contrails from airplanes are just tiny streaks from below… until you see how absolutely enormous they really are. 🤯✈️

THIS IS NOT CGI.🤯🚨 You are looking at actual footage of the Martian moon, Phobos, drifting over a giant volcano while a massive dust storm rages below. This is Mars. This is real life.🔴✨

I can just keep watching it without getting tired:

My brain glitches every time I remember this movie was made in 1968

Insane video of stars orbiting the supermassive black hole that lies at the heart of the Milky Way over a period of nearly 20 years. This time-lapse video is from the NACO instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile.

How gravity bends space-time fabric 🕸️ This is the best visualization of Einstein’s General Relativity I've ever seen.

🚨: You are looking at NOBLE PRIZE WINNING work. This is timelapse of stars orbiting the supermassive black hole that lies at the heart of the Milky Way over a period of nearly 20 years.

NEWS🚨: NASA releases a rare footage of helicopter flying on Mars. That's a freaking helicopter flying on another planet.

Earth’s Curve seen from the ISS 🛰️

This is an actual view of the surface of another planet. You are looking at a landscape that is 140 million miles away. The "dust" you see on the ground is actually volcanic rock and toxic perchlorates that would kill a human easily. This is Mars!

🚨: Explorers found a massive stone formation in Kazakhstan that looks like an ancient doorway

Earth and Sun's movement in Space

NASA released this insane video showing how huge known black holes are.

Just a polar bear relaxing in the Arctic waters.

Feeling lonely? Voyager 1 is 25.4 billion km from Earth, drifting through interstellar space since 1977. Its radio signals take over 23 hours to reach us. And the nearest star on its path? It won't get close for another 40,000 years. Somehow that's comforting.

How Crude oil is turned into fuel

Stop. Breathe. This is Mars. Not a render. Not a dream. A nuclear-powered machine we built is standing there right now, in that silence, sending light from another world straight into your eyes. This is 140 million miles away from us!
