How Close Are We to Nuclear Fusion Reactors?
Harnessing nuclear energy as an energy source has long been an idea surrounded in mystery and fear. Very few people actually know how nuclear power plants work, but many people know how catastrophic nuclear reactor meltdowns can be. However, the kind of nuclear energy we can currently control in nuclear power plants is only one … Continue reading How Close Are We to Nuclear Fusion Reactors? → Continue reading

Voyager; Humanity’s Furthest Trace
The Telegraph As time progresses, the sun will eventual expand, engulfing the rocky worlds of our solar system. With Earth vaporized, evidence of human life on Earth will disappear with the planet. Long after Earth’s demise the Voyager probes will continue to roam the cosmos, caring evidence of human life, waiting to be discovered … Continue reading Voyager; Humanity’s Furthest Trace → Continue reading

Nuclear Fusion
When it comes down to it, nuclear fusion is the basis for all life. Nuclear fusion is the combination of two atoms. This combination produces energy in the form of mass, and new elements with more protons than those that were used to create that element. Fusion happens on the sun due to the high … Continue reading Nuclear Fusion → Continue reading

Shine on, Crazy Diamond
All the light we see and information we receive in our day to day lives is all thanks to the sun- but do we ever really stop to think what allows the sun to produce to light we so rely on? The sun actually relies heavily on quantum physics to even exist- which sounds very […] Continue reading
Extreme Weather Patterns Across the Solar System
With stories about giant hurricanes devastating coastal towns and earthquakes shaking up cities on the fault lines, many people call weather on Earth extreme. When temperatures rise above 85°F or rains last for more than two days, people are quick to complain about Earth’s weather patterns. However, weather here on Earth is very mild compared … Continue reading Extreme Weather Patterns Across the Solar System → Continue reading

Volcanism on Venus
What Volcanism on Venus looks like- Image Source Venus has hardly any wind erosion because of its slow rotation, and no water erosion because there is no liquid water on Venus. Therefore, the biggest changes in the surface of Venus are a result of volcanism. Venus has a vast array of volcanoes covering its’ surface; … Continue reading Volcanism on Venus → Continue reading
