Mars : The Next Frontier
Recently NASA launched the Perseverance rover to mars which exploring and gathering knowledge about ancient life on Mars. It will also collect samples of Martian soil and leave them on surface of mars for pick up by future mars missions. It is also equipped with a helicopter to test flights in Martian atmosphere. If successful it will be the third rover to be deployed on the red planet. By far it is the most advanced and sophisticated rover ever designed and the total mission cost is whooping 3 billion dollars. UAE also launched its first mars missions and there are upcoming missions by Chinese space agency ISRO and ESA. So, the question arises that why NASA and other space agencies around the world spend billions of dollars on space missions when that money can easily be invested in education healthcare and most importantly at eradicating poverty.

The Sun Always Shines in Space
In 1941, Isaac Asimov was said to be the first ever to describe the process of using solar power in space and transmitting it to earth. The former professor and writer, presented the idea in one of his short stories, “Reason”. As terrestrial solar and wind power plants are limited to the time of day, and dependent on cloud interference, sunlight and wind speeds, space solar power is available 24/7, 365 days a year with no cloud or wind speed interruptions. As the Sun never stops shining in space,…

Why Max Polyakov and Others Have Been Involved In NewSpace Philosophies
Contributions Into Space Exploration The future of the space industry is promising; therefore, different corporate bodies and private companies are putting things in motion to make that possible. The chain of operation would be from a moon travel/colonization to space tourism. A few examples of entrepreneurs who have invested in this industry are Max Polyakov, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. Each of them has a strategy that hopes to be successful when the time comes.

What If Earth Had Rings Like Saturn?
Jupiter has four sets of them made up of dust and particles due to its moons being bombarded by meteors. Uranus has 13, and recent thermal imaging shows they are the same temperature as the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Saturn’s are made up of fragments of asteroids and comets, with pieces ranging in size from small icy specks to looming mountains.
See the Stars
One nightly ritual that should make a comeback is to see the stars. A simple yet effective way to remember our place in the universe and how small we really are when it comes to the cosmos. If you are going through troubles in your life, I believe it can be comforting to see the stars not only to realize that while our problems are serious and need to be dealt with, it is also good to realize the beauty in things and nothing is perhaps more beautiful than a clear, night sky where you can see the constellations, the full moon, and even a shooting star if you are lucky.
Basic Understanding of Astrophysics, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Black Holes
Astrophysics - a branch of astronomy concerned with the physical nature of stars and other celestial bodies. The application of the laws and the ones of physics to the interpretation of astronomical observations
Stars
Stars are classified by their spectra (elements they absorb) & their temperature. There are seven main star types in order of lowering temperatures starting with O, B, A, F, G, K, & M. O & B stars are very bright & uncommon, while M stars are dim but common.
