The Sun is losing mass. And once featured Saturn-like rings?
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: evolution, space
These features could have a special significance for the Earth’s evolution.
When it comes to the universe and all of its mysteries, there are many things we know we don’t know. Some are minor and mostly inconsequential, but there are other cosmological unknowns that leave huge blanks in our understanding of how things work on large and small scales. How our planet was created is one such mystery. Let’s go all the way back to the beginning when the Sun was just a clump of gas and dust to understand how our solar system may have formed.
## How stars form.

Team Films the Speed of Light at 10 Trillion Frames Per Second And It’s Incredible
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: futurism
The Slow Mo Guys are known for their slow-motion videos, but this time they went to Caltech to utilize the world’s fastest camera. What exactly did they want to shoot? 10 trillion frames per second is the speed of light.
To put things in perspective, the cameras they routinely use, while excellent, are still 20 million times slower than this one from Caltech. They collaborated to try to capture the speed of light. The speeds are measured in picoseconds and femtoseconds. We can see why the Slow Mo Guys are ecstatic about their new initiative.
