The bright colors of the northern lights are dictated by the chemical composition of Earth's atmosphere. "Every type of atom or molecule, whether it's atomic hydrogen or a molecule like carbon dioxide, absorbs and radiates its own unique set of colors, which is analogous to how every human...
Suede is a type of leather, and it can be derived from any type of animal skin that is used in the production of normal leather. The main difference between suede and other types of leather is that suede fabric is derived from the underside of animal ski
Oil is often called “black gold,” yet crude oil has a range of viscosity and can vary in color from black to yellow depending on its hydrocarbon composition.13Distillation, the process by which oil is heated and separated into different components, is the first stage in refining. Crude Oil...
Venus is Earth's closest planetary neighbour and both bodies are of similar size and mass. As a consequence, Venus is often described as Earth's sister planet. But the two worlds have followed very different evolutionary paths, with Earth having benign surface conditions, whereas Venus has a ...

Diamonds are most often found in kimberlite pipes, carrot-shaped, volcanic rock formations. Diamonds started out as carbon that crystallized deep in the earth under great pressure and temperature. Volcanic activity brought the diamonds to the Earth’s surface in kimberlite magma. Erosion of kimberlite...
Once an asteroid is discovered it is tracked for as long as possible to be seen in Earth-based telescopes. Position measurements are fed into orbit determination software that calculates the asteroid's trajectory and projects it into the future. The tracking data spans many days, weeks, months,...
So any star like our own sun (and there are billions of such stars in the universe) is likely to have a planet situated at such a distance that it would receive about the same amount of radiation as the earth. Furthermore, such a planet would probably have the same gen...
