Every new human comes from the planet itself. Find out why population growth doesn’t add a pound to Earth’s weight, as it functions as a closed system

Debunking the “space skydive” myth. Why do astronauts float weightlessly on the International Space Station, whereas airplane passengers walk as if they are on solid ground? Understanding the difference between aerodynamic lift and orbital motion

Satellites don’t float; they fall. But they fall so perfectly sideways that they never hit the ground. The delicate balance between gravity and velocity allows them to circle Earth endlessly.

Before the advent of space toilets, astronauts would dispose of urine into space, setting off an oddly beautiful phenomenon: frozen urine droplets sparkling like stars in the night sky

Designed by the US-based Clouds Architecture Office, this futuristic project is bound to blow your mind. It proposes a new way of living...

The International Space Station (ISS) ( Fig. 1 ) is a laboratory the size of a mansion, orbiting Earth at an altitude of 250 miles (400 km). It was assembled in space using modules sent into orbit in separate launches, because no rocket is powerful enough to launch such a large structure in one piece. The station features habitable areas with breathable air for astronauts, as well as airless sections housing machinery operated by robotic arms, which are accessible only via sp

Science memes have become extremely popular among the general public and scientists. Some achieved such wide recognition that they became iconic, blending science and humor into an irresistible mix of intellectual enjoyment. Perhaps the most notable is the one where a car changes its color from blue to red as it drives past a pedestrian. The meme uses a well-known example from sound to illustrate the Doppler effect in light, playing out the analogies in a humorous yet informa

Observing the scenery from the top of a skyscraper can be an uplifting experience. Many skyscrapers offer stunning panoramic views that...
