Are We Alone?
One thought-provoking question always lingers in my mind, and I believe that I am not the only one. Are we alone? The space as we know it – vast, spacious – seeming to disappear into nothingness as it expands. Reaching far away, way out of my realm of understanding and it scares me. We are … Continue reading Are We Alone? Continue reading
Black Hole’s Opposite Twin?
Black holes are so last year. Wanna hear something more interesting? WHITE HOLES! Black holes, as we know, do not let anything escape from their surface, engulfing anything and everything that dare come near them, deeming themselves powerful. Even light stand no chance against them, as the space time is so curved, they cannot elude. … Continue reading Black Hole’s Opposite Twin? Continue reading
Miraculous Arts in Space
I have a thing for picturesque, unique space landscape and pattern and there are two nebulae that has always been my favorite. Ever since I was in elementary school (that was when I learned about space), I found out that there are MANY beautiful and spectacular shapes of nebulae. Since then, I was hooked. Two … Continue reading Miraculous Arts in Space Continue reading
Earth vs. Theia! First and Last Round!
I have a thing for stuff that is outrageous, different and intriguing. Greek Gods, bizarre happenings in space, and archaic events? Yes, please! So, I just recently learned about how Moon was the result of an ancient collision between old Earth (or some people call it Gaia) and another theoretical planet named Theia 4.5 billion … Continue reading Earth vs. Theia! First and Last Round! Continue reading
Super-Earth(s)?
The idea of discovering new “Earth-like” planets has always intrigue me! I mean, they could be habitable planets that we can ACTUALLY live in? Just like in Terra Nova (I’ll explain more about that series in the end of this post!). Super-Earth, in short, means exoplanets in which their masses are higher than Earth’s, extra … Continue reading Super-Earth(s)? Continue reading
The Explosion That Starts Life
Ever wonder how kingdoms of animals ever started? What causes them? When? And ultimately, HOW? It’s CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION! Cambrian Explosion is a relatively rapid appearance of animal kingdoms or known as phyla – a taxonomic term which means the primary kingdom of animals – which happened around 530 million years ago and lasted about 54 … Continue reading The Explosion That Starts Life Continue reading
Tale of The Noseless Man
It is hard trudging through the development of astronomy throughout the decades without having controversies here and there. The astronomy world has many vivid figures, but nobody quite dramatic like Tycho Brahe. The man known to be genius but eccentric, wealthy but weak mathematics-wise. He was about two when he was taken away from his parents … Continue reading Tale of The Noseless Man Continue reading
The 13th Zodiac
This is a completely new stuff to me. Before this, I only knew 12 zodiacs, the result of early astronomers dividing the celestial sphere into 12 divisions and calling them 12 signs of zodiacs based on the brightest constellations in the sky at that particular time. Nowadays, people always associate zodiacs to astrology, the field of … Continue reading The 13th Zodiac Continue reading
Hello everyone!
My name is Nur Nazlifa Shaiful Annuar and I am a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. This is my first time blogging about astronomy and cosmic notions so let’s hope that it’s going to be fun! The photo above was taken at Crescent Lake, Oregon when I was on a … Continue reading Hello everyone! Continue reading
