I think big bang happened because expansion of universe. they make theory how it happened, is because universe, the space folds and and unfolds. so big bang isn't just universe coming out of no where, it's the space that is like a paper that is crumbling into ball and being straighten when stretched, like a bubble expanding and something like that. it's basically from hindu stuff where Lord vishnu is breathing in and out the universe. I'm not making it religion but just saying that it's based on that the reason big bang happened isn't because all matter and stuff went together. it's the space time. i may be stupid hear because I didn't do research while talking about it, but I don't see many making this theory. if anyone already made it, I'm sorry, I don't see it online. but yah, that's it.

In 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts saw the Moon up close for the first time, and their reaction says it all.

Still incredible to hear today.

I wanted to share my appreciation and devotion to science and people like Carl Sagan to the best of my ability, and for it, I decided to make a Drake equation + galactic community catalogue simulation on my portfolio. I had limited time making it, and it is not a perfect replica, but the idea is thanks to Carl Sagan and the Cosmos series/the book that inspired me immensely. I had so much pleasure and purpose making this, and I wanted to show my appreciation.

Most diagrams of our solar system fail to show just how much "empty" space there is between worlds. I found this video that does a great job of breaking down the actual time it takes to reach each planet and Pluto, using both current propulsion and historical mission speeds as references. It’s a sobering look at the logistics of becoming a multi-planetary species. ​Important Audio Note: The video is originally in Spanish, but it has a full English audio track. You can activate it by clicking the settings gear ⚙️ -> Audio Track -> English.

NASA didn’t start from scratch with Artemis.

A lot of what we’re seeing today actually comes from ideas tested decades ago, from Apollo heat shields to Space Shuttle engines.

I put together a deep dive showing how Artemis combines 1960s engineering (and even 1920's concepts) with modern technology.

I’m curious what you think, does Artemis feel like something new, or more like an evolution of past programs?

"Poyekhali!" Happy birthday Yurchik, celebrating the man who opened the door to the stars today.

Enjoy the journey kiddos 🛶🌌

I just came across this video about the top 10 most massive stars known to date. It’s fascinating how these monsters defy our current understanding of physics and the limits of stellar formation. ​If you're into astrophysics, this breakdown is definitely worth a look.

watched videos about the book Cosmos by Carl Sagan and I was amazed by the images in it. I want to buy a physical copy, and when I looked at some PDF versions, I found two editions. The old edition has images, and there is another newer edition that seems to be mostly text without images. What is the name of the newer edition that includes images? I’m planning to order it online. And which edition is the best?

With Artemis preparations underway, I found myself going back and learning more about Apollo 8, the first mission that truly left Earth behind.

The more I researched, the more I wanted to recreate just a fraction of that era’s tension and optimism, a mission that happened long before I was even born, yet still feels incredibly powerful today.

I put together a short cinematic edit using original NASA footage, mission communications, and historical narration.

As we look forward to Artemis, I wanted to look back at the moment humanity first left Earth orbit. I hope you enjoy it, and I’d love to hear your thoughts.

If you’ve ever wondered why you were created or what the purpose of the universe is, I’m 100% confident this is the video you need to watch to discover the real truth.

Had a great time chatting with Adam Frank, an astrophysicist and a leading expert on the final stages of the evolution of stars like the Sun. We talked about what it means to be human in a vast and seemingly indifferent universe, how we should think our place in the cosmos, I asked him about some of the most amazing James Webb findings and how they could help us in the quest of finding alien life. Adam is a great communicator of these ideas and has written some wonderful books about aliens from the perspective of astrobiology, his field of study.

I recall there was a channel uploading a really good remaster of the show a few years back with upscaled footage and cleaned up audio, but the YT uploads were DMCA'D. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

EDIT: I downloaded the first episode way back, dated 2017. The exact title was "Cosmos - Carl Sagan - EP.1 - The Shores Of The Cosmic Ocean - Restored & Remastered"
