It has been a long research as to what and how does the Earth formed. Billions of years ago, as the planets were being formed into the chaotic universe, there were a lot of collisions which explains the formation of Asteroids between Mars and giant Jupiter. Then now, there has been findings that supports that Earth was formed due to a collision of two Planets. According to new research, what formed the planet that we live on today and also created the moon was a ‘violent, head-on collision’ between Earth and a developing planet called Theia. A ‘planetary embryo’ called Theia, thought to be around the same size as Earth or Mars, collided with Earth 4.5 billion years ago with the two being effectively melded together to form a single planet, says the study. Theia is a hypothesized ancient planetary-mass object in the early Solar System. According to the hypothesis, Theia was an Earth trojan about the size of Mars, with diameter approximately 6,000 km (3,700 miles). Theia was n

Since the time I discovered that I can already think on my own, yes it is not just recently ;-), there is a lot of curiosity about ourselves as human living alone in the universe… We called the other species not from our planet as “Aliens”, well, there were documented events proving that indeed there were other lifeforms besides us!!! According to Wiki, by definition, Alien or Extraterrestrial life is life that does not originate from Earth. It is also called alien life, or, if it is a sentient and/or relatively complex individual, an "extraterrestrial" or "alien" (or, to avoid confusion with the legal sense of "alien", a "space alien"). These as yet hypothetical forms of life range from simple bacteria-like organisms to beings far more complex than humans. The possibility that viruses might exist extraterrestrially has also been proposed. "Exobiology" or "astrobiology" is the development and testing of hypotheses

I was always fascinated by what’s on our solar system. May it be asteroids, heavenly planets, stars or anything that made up our universe is quite a spectacle for me! Once in a while, I try to look up in the sky hoping to see something spectacular like an eclipse or a meteor shower. We may be in good luck just before the 2013 will end, a comet will probably appear right before our very eyes! Introducing the Comet ISON. Comet ISON, also known as C/2012 S1 or Comet Nevski–Novichonok, is a sungrazing comet discovered by Vitali Nevski and Artyom Novichonok on 21 September 2012. Thanks to Wiki, we can indulge ourselves to know more about this comet. Using the 0.4-meter (16 in) reflector of the International Scientific Optical Network (ISON), the discovery was made near Kislovodsk, Russia. Data processing was carried out by automated asteroid-discovery program CoLiTec. Precovery images by the Mount Lemmon Survey from 28 December 2011 and by Pan-STARRS from 28 January 2012 were quic

There were a lot of explorations done to search for other heavenly bodies on the universe where man could possibly live! Mars is the nearest feasible to explore. Did NASA found something there worth to prove that we could live there? Well, they did more than that. NASA has found out that Mars have once a habitual environment! As a matter of fact, NASA’s curiosity rover has collected compelling evidence that ancient Mars was a very wet place. They were looking for water on Mars? Yes, some of it fit to drink, there’s water, there’s water everywhere. Thanks to discoveries by NASA's Curiosity rover, shown on the right is the picture of ancient Mars that has emerged during the past few months, which has been exploring the Red Planet since touching down inside Gale Crater in August 2012. Presented together recently here at the European Planetary Science Congress, though the announcements have come in dribs and drabs, they provide compelling evidence that Mars was quit
