NASA has decided that the MPCV, or Multi-purpose Crew Vehicle, will be America’s next crewed spacecraft following the retirement of the space shuttle. The MPCV program is a refocus of the Orion Crew Vehicle Program, which has been in development since 2005.

Fun Facts About the Space Shuttle
Finding out the length of an orbit is a very tedious task. Unless one have flown aboard the space shuttle or have seen it in person, it can be difficult to mentally visualize the size of the vehicle. Here, we measure the orbiter against a familiar object, a school bus. The weight of Orbiter would weight around 178000 pounds. The heaviest African Elephant weighs 13200 pounds. It would take appro...

Jupiter Explained: Inside and Out
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the most vast planet in the Sun oriented System. It's a gas monster with mass one-thousandth that of the Sun but is more than two times the mass of every last trace of the different planets in our Earth's planetary group joined together. Jupiter is arranged as a gas monster plus Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. As one, these four planets are at times poi...

How Eclipses of the Sun Happen
In its 27 – day Orbit of the Earth, the Moon sometimes passes directly in front of the Sun and we see a solar eclipse. In one of the natural world’s most eerie, beautiful spectacles, the dark circle of the Moon gradually creeps over the Sun. Between two and five solar eclipses are visible from somewhere on the Earth each year. When the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth, it is not ...

Interplanetary Travel
The planets are very far away. A spacecraft traveling at 60 mph a typical speed of a car on a highway – would take about 60 years to reach Mars. Fortunately, rockets travel much faster than this. The Voyager spacecraft sped from the Earth at 32000 MPH. But even at this speed, travel to the planets takes a long time. The Future space colonies will have to be self – sufficient, growing t...

How to Understand Relativity
Spacetime is CONSTANT (always 100%). Both time and space are maileable – they can change within spacetime, but no matter how big or small one part is, THE TOTAL IS ALWAYS 100% - so TIME TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE, in fact, we’re ALL traveling through time right now !!!!!

Driving Force That Drives Galaxies Apart
The universe is expanding at an ever – increasing rate, with something that astronomers call dark energy appearing to push it apart faster than gravity can pull it together. Type la supernovas are stars that explodes with a predictable brightness. Light from distant supernovas locks dimmer and redder than expected, implying that the universe is expanding. The more distant the star, the fast...

Comic Microwave Background and the Big Bang
Electrons unite with protons and neutrons to structure particles, ordinarily hydrogen and helium. Light can at final sparkle. Gravity makes hydrogen and helium gas mixes to shape the goliath fogs that can come to be universe sized frameworks; more unobtrusive packs of gas ruin to structure the first stars.

Craters on the Moon
The Moon’s cratered surface tells a violent story about the Impact of the Skywalkers. Bright areas are ancient crust that makes up the highlands Dark areas are newer regions of lava that formed after asteroid impacts.

Astrology Star Chart Summer
The oldest star chart known may be a carved ivory Mammoth tusk that was discovered in Germany in 1979. This artifact is 32,500 years old and has a carving that resembles the constellation Orion. A drawing on the wall of the Lascaux caves in France has a graphical representation of the Pleiades open cluster of stars.

Myers-Briggs Personality Chart
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. These preferences were extrapolated from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923). Jung theorized that there are four pri...

The Planets' Size Comparison
A planet is a heavenly figure circling a star or stellar remainder that is monstrous enough to be adjusted by its particular gravity, is not colossal enough to create thermonuclear combination, and has cleared its neighboring area of planetesimals. The term planet is antiquated, with ties to history, science, mythology, and religion. The planets were basically viewed by a considerable number of ea...

The Sun is the star at the focal point of the Earth's planetary group. It's just about splendidly round and comprises of blazing plasma entwined with attractive fields. It has a breadth of about 1,392,684 km, in the ballpark of 109 times that of Earth, and its mass (about 2×1030 kilograms, 330,000 times that of Earth) explains about 99.86% of the sum mass of the Sun oriented System.

Boltzmann's Theory
The work of the Austrian physical Ludwig Boltzmann suggested an answer to the question: why does time seem to go only in one direction ? Boltzmann suggested that the amount of disorder, or entropy, in the universe increases over time.

Looking Inside the Sun
The Sun is our nearest star. It is a huge, luminous ball of gas like all the other stars. It consists mostly of hydrogen, and helium with tiny amounts of other elements. The Corona is the outer shell of the Sun’s atmosphere. It is extremely hot with temperatures reaching up to 2 million degrees. In the radiation zone, the energy is transported outwards by radiation. It covers about 70% of the Sun’...

What is it Like Inside a Black Hole
Black holes are prisons of Light, where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape. But they have even more bizarre effects: a block hole’s gravity distorts space and time, and the laws of physics break down at its center. No one can look inside a black hole, but mathematicians can explore them using Einstein’s theory of gravity. Objects that fall into a black hole are ‘spaghettified...
