An unemployed game designer, Christopher Albeluhn has launched a very useful and interesting app called Explore Your Backyard. The new app allows users to learn more and more about the Solar system with different angles and aspects. They can explore Solar system and constellations in 3D with Explore Your Backyard. The aim behind the development of Explore Your Backyard is to make space exploration... 

On 12 April 1961, first ever spacecraft called Vostok 3KA-3 spacecraft was launched for first human space mission and Yuri Gagarin was the first human to travel into space. Today I came up with some very rare and unseen pictures about this first mission. Vostok 3KA-3 spacecraft was designed by Sergei Korolev. He is on the right along with Yuri Gagarin (The first ever human to travel into space).... 

HarperCollins has launched a new app for iPad called “Wonders of the Universe”. The new app allows users to explore the universe on their iPads in high-resolution. Wonders of the Universe features 3D exploration on iPads. Text embedded photos and videos make the exploration distinguished. The new iPad application includes 210 full-color articles along with dozens of photos. The app incorporates... 

Today, I decided to take you in space. If you aren’t an astronaut and want to enjoy space environment like stars breaking around you, flying in space etc, then don’t worry Don Pettit, an astronaut at International Space Station and photographer Alex Rivest captured an amazing space environment video.The time-lapse video shows how star trails propagate. The video takes you in a feeling... 

Magellan Telescope is a giant ground-based space watching telescope project. With its completion in 2018 it will become one of the biggest and largest telescope of the times. There are seven primary segments with 8.4 m diameter each. The size of the primary mirror is 24.5 m along with 21.4 m collecting area. The Giant Magellan Telescope will consist of 6 circular mirrors. The telescope will... 

Space explorations are very much of great interests. Every now and then space agencies send new missions to explore more and more. Similarly SpaceX is preparing to launch a new space vehicle that will land on  International Space Station. But unlike other spacecrafts, its a manned Dragon spacecraft and its capsule will have the space to accommodate 7 astronauts on the same flight. NASA is also... 

You know The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) is World largest and most sensitive radio telescope ever. It is designed to detect threats from the outer space. It will keep an eye on the universe and will identify any alien  threat to our earth. The location for Square Kilometer Array isn’t confirmed yet however, Australia is considered as a best place. The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) consists... 

Electrical systems, satellite navigation and other technology are in danger of failure as a huge blast of plasma took place on the surface of Sun. The blast caused the ejection of Coronal Mass which leads worst and the biggest solar storm speeding over 4 million miles per hour. The effects of the vast solar storm can hit our Earth  at approximately 7 a.m. ET on Thursday morning causing some serious... 

Astronomer Zachory Berta and his team has discovered a new unlike planet called GJ 1214b outside our Solar system and Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the new discovery. Its a unique planet discovery because our System system is not known for the existence of such water-based planets. There are 3 types of planets: Rocky and Terrestrial Gas Giants Ice Giants But unlike these planet types GJ 1214b... 

Black hole maybe invisible but surely not absent. Every now and then celestial objects feel the strong gravity unveiling the presence of black hole. Sometimes this gravity force unusually catches up gases from the neighboring stars which start spinning around the black hole. As a consequence, a strong and fast wind is generated in the outer space. Currently and interestingly our universe is having...
