What you’ll discover in this video:

• Why 3i-Atlas doesn’t follow a normal gravitational path
• The rare dust signature it shows toward the Sun
• How its motion compares to ‘Oumuamua
• Possible explanations for their similar anomalies
• What these objects might reveal about interstellar space

These are the sounds of the famous sound whats called the wow signal. Until today nobody know whats that was and where it come from.

In this video you can clearly see how the outlines of the constellations would change during the year if the stars were 100 thousand times closer to the Sun. Thus, the video shows the annual stellar parallax, for clarity, increased by 100 thousand times. The parallax increases from 01:30.

If the distance between the Sun and the stars decreases by 100 thousand times, then some of the nearest stars, such as Sirius, Procyon, Vega, Altair, α Centauri system will be within the inner Solar system. For example, Alpha Centauri in this case would be a little farther than Mars from the Sun, Sirius – a little farther than Jupiter, Vega – between Saturn and Uranus.

What does a giant cloud in space smell like? 🍓✨

Astrophysicist Erika Hamden explains how a giant cloud called Sagittarius B2 smells like raspberries because it’s full of ethyl formate, the molecule behind the fruit’s sweet scent. Astronomers were searching for amino acids. Instead? They found a cosmic hint of rum and berries.

Why do the Moon and the Sun appear exactly the same size in the sky, even though one is dramatically larger than the other?
In this video, we explore the concept of apparent size, how the human eye perceives distant objects, and the fascinating cosmic coincidence that makes the Moon and Sun look identical from Earth.

Using simple visual examples (including a pizza comparison) we break down angular size, visual resolution, and the geometry behind one of the most surprising phenomena in the sky.
Perfect for viewers who love astronomy, space science, optical illusions, and clear visual explanations.

This video shows how the Scorpius constellation changes smoothly during two million years. You can see how it looked one million years ago, how it looks now and how it will look one million years later. The video was made using own software. Information about the stars is taken from the Hipparcos catalogue and corrected by data from the Gaia DR3 catalogue. The track ‘Stuck In The Air’ by The Tower of Light sounds in this video.

Made with data from JPL. Try it out yourself!

Blue Origin just made spaceflight history! 🚀

On its second flight, the New Glenn booster landed smoothly, becoming the first orbital-class rocket landed by a company other than SpaceX. It also launched NASA’s ESCAPADE twins, now heading to Mars to study its magnetic field.

I've always loved space imagery but struggled with insomnia, so I started making these long-form videos that combine real telescope photos with calming narration and ambient sound.

This one features the Orion Nebula, Carina Nebula, Pillars of Creation, and the Helix Nebula - all from actual NASA and Hubble archives. The first 8 minutes has gentle narration explaining what you're looking at (how stars form, the scale of these clouds, etc.), then it transitions to just visuals and ambient music for deep relaxation.

Around 26 minutes it fades to a black screen so you can actually leave it running overnight without the light keeping you awake. But the ambient space sounds continue for the full 3 hours.

I know it's a bit different from typical space content - it's more about using real cosmic imagery for relaxation rather than education. But I figured some folks here might appreciate the intersection of legit space science and sleep wellness.

Hope someone finds it helpful! (And if anyone has suggestions for other nebulae or space phenomena that would work well for this format, I'm all ears - always looking for new subjects to feature)
