The story of Apollo 13, showcasing the remarkable human resilience and determination to survive against overwhelming odds. The mission began in Florida, USA, as three astronauts embarked on an audacious journey to the moon, driven by the success of previous lunar missions. However, their aspirations of moonwalking were abruptly shattered just two days later when a sudden and powerful explosion rocked their spacecraft 210,000 miles away from Earth. The ship's alarms blared, lights flashed, and the astronauts found themselves in a dire situation. Stranded far from home with limited oxygen, they were faced with an unprecedented crisis that demanded their utmost courage and resourcefulness. Did they manage to get back to earth? What was their fate?

Only four spacecraft have ever returned photographs from the surface of Venus. Our neighbouring planet doesn’t make it easy, below the clouds blistering heat and crushing pressures quickly destroy most landers. But, in 1975 and 1982, 4 of the Soviet Union’s Venera probes captured our only photos of Venus’ surface. The Venera landers scanned the surface back and forth to create panoramic images of their surroundings. They revealed yellow skies and cracked, desolate landscapes that were both alien and familiar, views of a world that may have once been like Earth before experiencing catastrophic climate change. Here are the only photos we have of the surface of Venus.

Proximity to the Sun: Mercury is extremely close to the Sun, which makes it difficult for spacecraft to approach. The Sun's gravitational pull is much stronger at that proximity, which requires more energy and precise maneuvers to get into orbit around Mercury. Extreme Temperatures: Mercury has extreme temperature variations. During the day, its surface can reach temperatures

So today I will tell you about the most active and unusual metal on earth – cesium. Cesium is an alkali metal which is located near the bottom of the periodic table of chemical elements. Only francium can be more active than cesium, but that metal is radioactive and only an insignificant Because of its high activity, metallic cesium is being stored in special ampoules under inert atmosphere of either argon or hydrogen. Appearance wise, cesium has a yellowish tint, like gold, but the price for cesium is still higher than gold. Due to the extremely small sales market and its highest activity, price of cesium can reach over 100 euros per gram! The vial, which you see on the screen, is 50 grams of cesium. Just imagine it’s cost. Cesium is unusual in that it has a very low melting point - only 29 degrees Celsius. If you take the vial of cesium in hand, you can see how quickly the metal begins to melt.

Does the Earth make a sound? Yes! and it's very eerie! The European Space Agency (ESA) recently released 5 minutes of haunting, crackling audio. Revealing what Earth's magnetic field sounds like. Called the Magnetosphere, it is generated deep within the Earth's interior, at its core. It extends out into space, creating a strong protective shield against things such as charged particles zipping out of the Sun, called the solar wind. And Without this powerful magnetic field, Earth would likely be a barren, cold, dry world. The audio clip you are about to experience might sound like the stuff of nightmares, but sit back, relax and listen to the strange creaking, crackling and rumbling of our planet's protective shield. This is the sound of the Earth's magnetic field.

Gravity is what keeps your feet firmly planted on the ground. That’s why the average person can only jump as high as 1.5 feet straight up. But what if we had to live on another planet — say, Venus or Saturn? Let’s find out what difficulties we’d have to endure there. How high could you jump on other planets? The gravity on Mercury, for example, is less than half that on Earth, so you’ll be able to jump about 4 ft high. But if you were to jump being on Venus, you’d make it just shy of 1.7 ft high because the mass and size of Earth and Venus are almost similar with Venus being a little smaller. Bu the way, guys, did you know that Venus is a really inhospitable place? You’d be able to see Earth from here if not for the whirling mass of clouds above. They create a monstrous greenhouse effect, as well as immense atmospheric pressure. And despite the constant temperature of a blazing furnace, rain here wouldn’t bring relief: the clouds up there are made of sulfuric acid! Let's learn more about these amazing objects that orbit the same sun as Earth! Here are some surprising facts about the planets of the Solar System.

NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov launched aboard the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft on Aug. 26 on a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four crew members are scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station on Aug. 27 where they will conduct a six-month mission living and working aboard the microgravity laboratory to advance scientific knowledge and demonstrate new technologies for future human and robotic exploration missions. Such research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.
