Every bit of gold on Earth. Your ring, your phone’s parts, the fillings in your teeth. Was not made here. It also wasn’t made in the Sun. Making things heavier than iron needs a lot of energy, since iron sits at the peak of nuclear binding energy. So where did…

Introduction People often think astronauts float because there is no gravity in space. That’s not true. At the height of the International Space Station, 400 kilometres up, gravity is still really strong. The real reason astronauts float is that they are in free fall while also moving at high orbital…

Abstract The expansion of the universe is considered to be one of the greatest and most well-supported facts of observational cosmology. We can observe that the farther away galaxies are from Earth, the greater is their redshift of the emitted light, which means that these galaxies recede from us. This…
