On September 13, 2021, the bright impact flash was spotted on the Jupiter by Brazilian astronomer José Luis Pereira. Not a lot of info on the impacting object yet but its likely to be large and/or fast!

Thanks Jupiter for taking the hit.

When you look at a crescent moon shortly after sunset or before sunrise, you can sometimes see not only the bright crescent of the moon but also the rest of the moon as a dark disk. That pale glow on the unlit part of a crescent moon is sunlight reflected by the earth. It's called earthshine. In simple, Earthshine is when sunlight reflected by the earth that illuminates the dark part of the moon.

A nebula has a density generally from 100 to 10,000 particles per cm³. The Earth's atmosphere, by comparison, contains 2.5×10¹⁹ particles per cm³. Although nebulae are denser than the space surrounding them, most of them are far less dense than any vacuum created on Earth. Just one portion of a nebula the size of Earth would weigh only a few kilograms.

Pluto's icy mountains, frozen plains and layers of atmospheric haze, illuminated by the distant Sun, through the eyes of the New Horizons spacecraft. By the way, did you know? Pluto is very, very cold. It is much colder than Antarctica. It is so cold that Earth’s air would freeze into a kind of snow there.

In the year 2019, Google confirmed it was able to compute Pi to 31.4 trillion decimal places, setting a new Guinness World Record. But, did you know? NASA only uses around 15 digits of pi to send rockets into space, and measuring the Observable Universe's circumference to the precision of a single atom would take just 40 decimal places of pi. So computing trillions of digits of pi is mostly about showing off computer power.

💥 Did You Know?

Light may seem instantaneous to us, but over astronomical distances, it’s really quite slow. RS Puppis is a variable star tucked into a nebula, and being a variable star means it pulsates in brightness over time, in this case, 41 days. And incredibly, because light is so slow over these vast distances, you can watch the light move through the surrounding nebula in what is called a light echo. Every time the star peaks and dips in brightness, you’ll see a new crest of light move away from the star through the nebula. This is a real Hubble time lapse taken between over a period of five weeks in 2010.

This processed image provides the best view yet of the massive 290-kilometer high column of the Tvashtar volcano. By the way, did you know? With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System.

💥 Did You Know?

One sidereal day (one rotation of the planet on its axis) on Venus is longer than a year. It takes Venus longer to rotate once on its axis than to complete one orbit of the Sun. That's 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis and only 224.7 Earth days to complete one orbit of the Sun. At the equator, Venus is only rotating at 1.81 m/s. Because Venus rotates incredibly slowly, you could be able to watch the sunset on Venus forever just by walking towards it. This slow rotation of Venus makes it the second most spherical object in the solar system after the sun.

750 light-years away from the solar system, TrES-2b is the darkest planet ever found. It is even darker than coal. It has an albedo of 0.0136, which means that it reflects less than 1% of the light that falls on it. It is a gas giant exoplanet that orbits a G-type star. It is 0.03563 AU from its star. The star's intense light heats TrES-2b to a temperature of more than 980 °C. Reasons for TrES-2b's darkness remain unknown and are an active topic of research.

Since Pluto is so far away from the Sun (at a average distance of 39 AU), the Sun would look much dimmer and smaller that it does from here on Earth. From Pluto, the Sun would look like a very bright star. The Sun on Pluto looks about 1,520 times fainter than it does on Earth or 264 times brighter than the full Moon. Even on Pluto, looking directly at the Sun would probably be painful.

The speed of gravity is same as the speed of light, this means that if the Sun suddenly disappeared, we would continue to orbit an empty space for more than eight minutes. And you might know that the Sun - in fact, our whole solar system - orbits around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at an average velocity of 230 km/s. This means that Earth and all planets are not actually orbiting the sun, but rather where the Sun was 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago.

💥 Earth and Moon as Seen from Mars

This is an image of Earth and the moon, acquired on October 3, 2007, by the HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. At the time the image was taken, Earth was 142 million km from Mars. By the way, did you know? HiRISE is a 50 cm reflector telescope. It is the largest telescope outside the Earth's orbit. It has a resolution of 30.48 cm per pixel at an altitude of 300 km. That’s even higher than most satellite images of Earth.

💥 Fact

Titan's atmosphere extends about 600 km high, which makes it a lot higher than Earth's atmosphere. Titan was discovered after the Ganymede. Because titan's atmosphere is so high, it was thought to be the largest moon in the solar system for a long time. It wasn't until 1980 that Voyager was close enough to discover it was actually smaller than Ganymede. By the way, did you know? Titan is moving away from Saturn at a rate of 4.3 inches (11 cm) every year. And Earth's moon is drifting away from Earth at a rate of 3.8 cm every year.

Scientists have found largest galaxy ever. It is 16.3 Million Light Years long! The galaxy, named Alcyoneus is discovered about 3 billion light-years away from Earth. Alcyoneus is radio galaxy, means is has a supermassive black hole at its center. This galaxy is four times bigger than previous title holder, IC 1101.

What are the two orange lobes in the first image?

Those lobes are the pair of plasma plumes ejected from Alcyoneus' black hole. It is the largest structure made by a galaxy known thus far. Read more

Asteroid Elektra has a third satellite! This discovery makes Electra the first ever quadruple asteroid system!

Elektra was first discovered in 1873, orbiting in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Oblong-shaped and 260 km across on its longest side, it is a relatively large asteroid and completes an orbit of the sun every five years. In 2003, the first moon was discovered orbiting Elektra, and in 2014 a second — their orbits are shown in orange and green. The discoveries were interesting, but not unusual — more than 150 asteroids are known to have one or two moons, in the same way planets can have moons. But now a team of astronomers led by Anthony Birdo of Thailand's National Institute of Astronomical Research has found third moon around the asteroid, whose orbit is marked in blue. Read more

💥 New exoplanet - Proxima d

A third planet has been detected orbiting the closest star to our solar system, Proxima Centauri. It is estimated to be just 25% as massive as Earth, or around twice the mass of Mars, the planet – known as Proxima d – is one of the lightest exoplanets ever found. Using the Very Large Telescope in Chile, the team looked at how the star wobbled under the gravitational pull from orbiting planets. This is what is known as the radial velocity method. From the star’s wobbles, the team deduced the highly likely presence of a third planet in the system. Orbiting its host star at 0.029 times the distance between Earth and the sun, Proxima d sits within Proxima Centauri’s habitable zone, the region around the star in which water can remain liquid.
