We live on Earth, the third planet of our solar system. Our solar system is located in the Milky Way Galaxy, a collection of 200 billion stars (together with their planetary systems). The Milky Way Galaxy is located in a group of 30+ galaxies we call the Local Group. The Local Group...

Others feel that the galaxies, solar systems and planets might someday be torn apart. Whatever happens to the universe, don’t worry – it might take billions of years to happen! A. One of those is the Sun. B. The Sun and the Earth are also in the solar system. C. Some people...
In evaluating the Fermi Paradox, it is important to think about the vast distances of space in the Milky Way. The time for light to travel to the nearest star is more than four years. If a rocket ship travels 20,000 miles per hour, then it would take more than 33,000 years to get...
Others feel that the galaxies, solar systems and planets might someday be torn apart. Whatever happens to the universe, don’t worry-it’s not going to happen for billions of years!(有些人认为宇宙会永远膨胀下去。另一些人则认为,星系、太阳系和行星有一天可能会被撕裂。不管宇宙发生了什么,不要...
While the dense, compact inner regions of today’smost massive ellipticalshave already formed around 600 million years after the Big Bang, given that theUniverse looks roughly the same in any direction,if we stood on the other side of the Universe looking back at the Milky Way and its smalle...
The book is about the futuristic setting wherein humans became the victor in conquering the solar system and the milky way by creating a hegemony of humanity that resides and controls the different planets and stars. Humanity in this era is divided into two, the hegemony who are allied with ...
This came to be the basis ofFermi's Paradox, which remains unresolved to this day. Interest in Fermi's question has been piqued in recent years thanks to the sheer number of "potentially habitable" exoplanets discovered in distant star systems. Despite that, all attempts to fi...
Are there planets in the Oort cloud? What is between the Oort cloud and Alpha Centauri? Does the Oort cloud surround the whole solar system? Does the Oort cloud contain dwarf planets? Do other solar systems have an Oort cloud? Is the Oort cloud considered the edge of the solar system?
Astronomers have speculated about the origins of binary and multiple star systems for hundreds of years, and in recent years have created computer simulations of collapsing masses of gas to understand how they condense under gravity into stars. They have also simulated the interaction of many young...
