On 5 February 1971, the lunar module Antares, of the Apollo 14 spacecraft, crewed by Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell, successfully landed on the surface of the Moon near the Fra Mauro Highlands 🌑

How a solar eclipse looks from space

The shadow consists of two concentric cones called the shadow and penumbra 🌓

Smallest stars ⭐️

Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars with a strong magnetic field. They are a source of radio emissions pulsating at a constant frequency.

The term is derived from the English abbreviation pulsar, which stands for Pulsating Source of Radio emission.

These are spherical compact objects, the size of which can be compared to a small city. It's amazing how, at this size, their mass exceeds that of the sun.

This is what the Ingenuity helicopter's final landing site on Mars looks like. Now it will stand there until it is found by people from the future. By the way, they named this valley - "Immortal Lands".

The Sun has experienced the largest flare in seven years. NASA published a photo of the star.The new flare is the third in less than 24 hours.

Earth's daily rotation 🌍 Clearly.

Black holes

Astronomers estimate the number of black holes in our Galaxy to be between 100 million and 1 billion, drifting peacefully and unnoticed across the galaxy.

This is what the solar eclipse looks like from the ISS. Huge moon shadow from over Turkey😲

Observations are getting clearer every year 😄

Moths flying into the light? No, they're stars near a giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way💫.

Of course, this is not happening in real time. This is a timelapse taken by the Telescope in Chile over a period of 20 years🔭

It is from this movement of stars that scientists were able to confirm the theory that there is a supermassive black hole at the centre of our Galaxy.

Solar prominences and Earth to scale ☀️

Astronomers have discovered a planet whose existence was previously thought impossible🤯

The discovery of the exoplanet LHS 3154b was announced in the journal Science.
The mass of LHS 3154b is 13 times greater than Earth's, and its star - a cold dwarf LHS 3154 - is nine times smaller than the Sun. According to current theory, the star would have to be at least 10 times larger to give birth to such a large planet.

A couple of times a year, the ISS orbit passes along the line separating day and night. At such times, the station is not in the Earth's shadow and the day on the station lasts longer than usual, while the Sun makes these circular movements over the Earth's surface.

1 hour of movement of all artificial satellites of the Earth

This is what a vertical landing looks like

On Monday, 8 April, it will be possible to observe a total solar eclipse on Earth. The eclipse will begin over the South Pacific and reach the Pacific coast of Mexico at about 11:07 a.m. local time. It will then be visible in the United States. The Moon's shadow will gradually move northwards until it reaches Canada.
