Our universe

Our current models of physics aren't consistent with what we observe. So what are we missing? Loop Quantum Cosmology may be the answer - and could suggest that our Universe rose from the ashes of a previous universe.

The planets are likely the right size and right temperature to support complex life. The Kepler planet-searching telescope has detected nearly 50 such planets in one small part of the observable universe.

01. A region near a black hole is called a photon sphere where the gravitational pull is so strong that light photons orbit it, meaning if you were at that point and turned to the side, you could see the back of your own head.

You probably know that feeling when you‘re trying to understand how big the universe really is, but you end up with your head about to explode. It gets slightly easier when there‘s some kind of context available, so we can make comparisons and get an idea of scale. A while ago, a guy behind the Youtube channel named Yeti Dynamics created a video showing how big the planets in our solar system actually are, by placing them in a context we are familiar with: sky.

Global Data created a celestial 3D animation comparing the scale size of astronomical objects in our known universe.
