In Ufokom, there has been an increasing number of inquiries regarding the identification of peculiar discoveries, many of which are shapeless fragments of melted metal, occasionally of considerable size. The individuals presenting these iron particles frequently speculate about their extraterrestrial source. There is widespread media coverage claiming that meteorites are “more precious than gold,” which…
Every day, as it emerges from the eastern horizon, the Sun traverses the sky and ultimately sets in the west. In the Northern Hemisphere, this movement is from left to right, while in the Southern Hemisphere it goes from right to left. At noon, the Sun reaches its peak altitude, or as astronomers put it,…

He is often depicted as a magnificent giant who possessed the ability to overcome any creature. Despite being the son of a legendary deity, Orion’s relationship with the gods was far from harmonious. As history has shown, even…
This specific chart shows a fascinating periodicity similar to the periodic table devised by Mendeleev. It displays the relationship between the spectral class, age, and mass of a star, revealing patterns and predictability. The Main Sequence, which is the most prevalent regularity, demonstrates that as a star’s mass decreases, so does its temperature and volume….

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, followed by Saturn. Some astronomers speculate that Jupiter, due to its vast size, serves as a protective force for Earth. With its immense mass, the planet exerts a strong gravitational pull, altering the paths of potentially hazardous asteroids and safeguarding our planet from potential impact. Table…
When we see a particularly bright object in the sky, we often find ourselves asking, what is it? Is it a star? Maybe it’s a planet? And if the object is moving across the sky, could it be a satellite? If so, what type? Have you ever observed something incredibly bright in the sky, but…
Craters are a common sight on celestial bodies such as Mercury, Pluto, the Moon, Titan, and various satellites and asteroids in our solar system. These craters are evidence of the numerous meteorite and comet impacts that have occurred over time. However, unlike these other celestial bodies, Earth is fortunate to have an atmosphere that provides…
Video can be rephrased as Visual Content or Moving Images . The Autumn Sky’s Constellations During the autumn season, when the sky is often covered by clouds, stargazing can be challenging.

While contemplating whether or not to resume translations on my main blog (the blog with my translations on IT topics can be found here), I recollected one of the most significant discussions on this blog, which centered around the translation of “The Dream of Interstellar Travel Is Fading” (original). This article sparked a lively conversation,…
The size of our solar system is a topic that may appear straight-forward, however, there exists no universally acknowledged criterion for determining the boundaries of our solar system. There are three prospective definitions for the outer limits of our solar system: the heliopause, the periphery of the Oort Cloud, and the gravitational sphere of influence…
Stellar Objects Sirius (α Canis Majoris, Alpha CMa, α CMa) is the most luminous star in the nocturnal sky. It is a binary star comprising of a primary star of spectral type A0 or A1 known as Sirius A and a dim white dwarf of spectral type DA2 referred to as Sirius B. The separation…
Blog ❘ Serious Astrology ❘ Mathematics of the celestial sphere ❘ Spherical geometry A complete revolution of the celestial sphere around its axis is known as a sidereal day. The current portion of a sidereal day is referred to as sidereal time. The line passing from south to north through the zenith is known as…
When observing the trajectory of the planets over an extended period, it becomes apparent that the planets generally follow a westerly to easterly course, remaining close to the ecliptic and consistently within the zodiacal constellation belt. This planetary movement, akin to the motion of the Sun and Moon amidst the stars, is referred to as…
Our planet, Earth, occupies the third position in terms of proximity to the Sun. Earth’s path around the Sun is situated between the paths of Venus and Mars. Where is the sun located at its zenith? The position of the sun at its zenith is determined by the location of Earth’s axis in relation to…
Perhaps you’ve come across the saying: “When you gaze up at the heavens, you’re actually peering into the past. Many of the stars visible in the nighttime sky have long since faded away.” This deep philosophical notion serves as a way for individuals to come to terms with the reality that all things eventually come…
While the naked eye can unveil a plethora of celestial wonders, using binoculars can unlock even more intriguing sights in the night sky. However, selecting the right binoculars for stargazing can be a daunting task, especially for beginners. One might wonder if it’s more prudent to start saving for a superior telescope instead. In this…
