They used a software program called Glue and data from Gaia, a space observatory, they created a map of exactly where the stars lie. From there, the team determined the bubble’s origin stems from a series of supernova explosions that took place 14 million years ago. Gaia was critical, a...
Above, you'll find links to pages where you can obtain high-quality texture maps of the planets for the purpose of 3D rendering. You'll find notes on the creation or source of each map, and a small sample rendering of the map to show you how it will look in your artwork. Intersperse...
By observing systems where the planet and star periodically eclipse each other, several groups have been able to estimate the temperatures of the daysides of these planets. A key question is whether the atmosphere is able to transport the energy incident upon the dayside to the nightside, which...

Using color in a mind map not only makes it more visually stimulating, but can also effectively distinguish subtopics from one another. In a mind map of planets in the solar system, for example, each subtopic can be written out in a different color. This is particularly effective when presen...
Improvements in technology have allowed us to map Earth’s surface in ever-increasing detail. These advances are now being used on other planets in our solar system, allowing scientists to see them like never before. This interactive map of Mars sets a new standard for planetary mapping. Create...
Earth's crust, averaging 40 km, is only one third as thick as Mars’ crust, relative to the sizes of the two planets. During the Solar System's formation, Mars was created out of the protoplanetary disk that orbited the Sun as the result of a stochastic process of run-away accretion....
