Planets by the Dozen

Filed under: news, space — gianvito @ 6:13 am

You know the planets of our solar system, each a unique world with its own distinctive appearance, size, and chemistry. Mars, with its bitter-cold, rusty red sands; Venus, a fiery world shrouded in thick clouds of sulfuric acid; sideways Uranus and its strange vertical rings. The variety is breathtaking.

Hubble Space Telescope - A look to the UNIVERSE

Filed under: news, space — gianvito @ 1:32 am

Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer. He profoundly changed astronomers’ understanding of the nature of the universe by demonstrating the existence of other galaxies besides the Milky Way. He also discovered that the degree of redshift observed in light coming from a galaxy increased in proportion to the distance of that galaxy from the Milky Way. This became known as Hubble’s law, and would help establish that the universe is expanding.”

Thanks to the Telescope which has his name… we can give a look to things which will never be seen without it.
