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

After traveling 9 years and covering 3 billion miles, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got this shot. Behold! The icy mountains of Pluto.

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. 🪐🤯

What Night Sky on Mars may look like.

NASA's Curiosity Rover spots strange rock on Mars. What do you think it look like?

Tree rings reveal how short a human life Is compared to nature’s endless timeline ⏳🌴

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

If you drop an ice block into a 137m deep hole dug in Antarctica... A sound is heard, as if something living deep in the Antarctic was shooting down the ice.

This is Mars captured recently. 140 million miles away from us.

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. 🤯✈️

A nuclear powered rover on an alien planet, 140 million miles away captured this. This is Sol 3070 on Mars.

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.🔴✨

This is Mars! 🪐🤯 It’s honestly terrifying how much this looks like a random desert on Earth. Just a casual 225 million miles away. The clarity is unreal.

This is Mars! 140 million miles away from us!

How long could you survive Crucifixion?

This is what the sky from Earth might look like if TON 618, the second largest known black hole in the universe, were as close as Alpha Centauri, the closest stellar system to our Solar System. That's 25 trillion miles away from us.

This is Mars! 140 million miles away from us!

Nothing prepares you for how insane this is: In 1984, astronaut Dale Gardner used a jetpack to fly completely untethered in space and capture a falling satellite with his hands.

You’ve never actually touched anything in your life. 🤯 At the atomic level, nothing ever truly touches. That feeling you get is just your brain interpreting electromagnetic repulsion between electron clouds. The object is real, but the contact is a constructed illusion.

After traveling 9 years and covering 3 billion miles, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft got this shot. Behold! The icy mountains of Pluto.

No CGI, no movie magic—just the surface of Mars in high definition. It is absolutely wild that we have eyes here. 140 million miles away from everyone you know!

Meet Daphnis, a tiny moon of Saturn. A rock barely the size of a city is violently carving a 26-mile-wide trench through millions of tons of planetary debris. Pure gravitational dominance suspended in absolute silence. [SpaceEngine sim]

How deep does the ocean actually go? Not "deep." Not "really deep." The number at the end genuinely doesn't feel real.

Farmer uses a plastic bag to slow down the water flow, allowing the soil to absorb it more efficiently.
