NASA’s flying observatory, t he Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA , lately finished a comprehensive study of a neighboring planetary system. The studies confirmed that this close planetary system has a design strangely similar to…
Everybody knows that Earth is old, but it’s quite hard to put into perception just how old it is. In the end, what does 4.5 billion years *actually* mean? How do you even grasp that amount of time with our short-term human brains? Well, Business Insid…
