The planets are nine worlds that seem to have little in common, except that they circle around a single sun and are bound together by its gravity. Shortly after World War II the Soviet astronomer Viktor Safronov picks up the 200 year old idea that the planets were formed from a cloud of dust. Gravitational instability first formed big clumps, which through gravity fused to planets. A huge number of such planets then collided and fused until only the four planets of the inner solar system remained. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars bear scars of their creation. The craters on their surfaces are signs of hard collisions with collapsing planets. Outside these four planets are the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, which became so large that they started sucking in the primordial gases from the original dust cloud, thus swelling to 100 times bigger than Earth. The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are still a mystery. The Kuiper belt outside Neptune consists of thousands of gigantic ice chunks. ... Written by Maths Jesperson {maths.jesperson1@comhem.se}

Earth is a living planet. Volcanic eruptions mean that it is geological alive. Astronomers and geologists wondered for a long time if other planets also are alive. When a series of space probes went to Mars and Venus in the 60's and 70's, the researchers were eager to look at the photos of those planets. They saw gigantic volcanoes and canyons, but these were just remnants of geological activities billions of years ago. Earth seemed to be the only living world in universe. But when the space probe Voyager in 1979 passed the moons of Jupiter something unexpected was seen. The moon Io is covered with volcanoes that are still alive. The explanation for this seems to be the huge gravitational force from Jupiter squeezing Io, thus heating the interior of this moon to incredible temperatures. Jupiter's gravitational force also squeezes the moon Europe, so its ice-cap cracks continuously, causing gigantic geysers of water to squirt 5-10 km upwards. A similar phenomenon was found on Neptune's... Written by Maths Jesperson {maths.jesperson1@comhem.se}

To send space probes to the four giant planets in the outer solar system seemed in the mid-60's impossible. Rocket power could carry a spacecraft no further than Jupiter. But the young student Gary Flandro found out that in 1975-76 all four giants should be on the same line, which happens only every 175th year. This would make it possible to reach all four planets with one flight, using the gravity of each planet to catch the space probe and pitch it off in a new direction at a greater speed. After 10 years of preparation the two spacecrafts Voyager 1 and 2 began in 1977 an incredible journey. To reach Neptun, the 4th of the giants, would take 12 years. The space probes transmitted photos not only from the four planets, but also from their moons. What the astronomers and geologists saw was something they never could have imagined. Not only the four planets, but also all their moons, are worlds that are very different from each other. Many of them are also geological alive, some even ...

In 1959 the Soviet probe Lunik 2 becomes the first spacecraft ever to hit the Moon. Within a month it is followed by Lunik 3, which takes the first pictures of the dark side of the Moon. Soviet Union had already impressed the world with the Sputniks, the first satellites, and when in 1961 the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin becomes the first man in space, the Americans are embarrassed. President Kennedy starts a space race by declaring that US is going to land a man on the Moon. They Americans work hard to fulfill this goal, and on July 1969 the astronaut Neil Armstrong becomes the first man ever taking a walk on the Moon. The scientists are eager to research soil and rocks brought back from the Moon. They find out that the Moon is just as old as Earth and is made of the same rock, but has no water. The most accepted theory from now on is that the Moon in the beginning is a part of Earth. When Earth collides violently with another celestial body, a lot of rocks and other stuff are hurled out ...

A spectroscope splits the sun light into different colors, thereby making it possible to analyze which elements the Sun is made of. When the spectroscope is turned to different stars on the firmament, it is proven that they are built by exactly the same elements as the Sun, which means that our Sun is a star just as the others. With new inventions, and new research techniques, the Sun scientists get more knowledge not only of the Sun's surface, but also of what is happening inside the Sun. It shows that the Sun is not a tranquil orb, but on the contrary is extremely turbulent. The Sun, like every other star, has a core. Almost every star generates nuclear energy, which is transmuting elements from one to another, building up the whole building blocks of the Universe. In the beginning the Universe contains just hydrogen and helium. In 12 billion years the stars transform these simple gases into more complex elements. Our Sun is born from a dying supernova 4,5 billion years ago, while ... Written by Maths Jesperson {maths.jesperson1@comhem.se}
