Astronomy

Most people imagine space as a vastless void of blackness with stars everywhere. But what most people don’t know is that, like Easth, space has weather. And it seems that it has been proven that the weather that occurs in space affects us here on Earth.

According to the National Academy of Science, “Space weather describes the conditions in space that affect Earth and its technological systems. Our space weather is a consequence of the behavior of the sun, the nature of Earth’s magnetic field, and our location in the solar system.”

One of the most important things that we need to learn about the planet that we live on is how we can acctually survive on it and breathe all of the air we can breathe without dying. Many people are not quite sure how earth can sustain oxygen when other planets are unable to do this. Or how the sun can shine down without burning us to a crisp. The thing that protects this planet and keep us alive is the atmosphere that surrounds us.

The study and research of space is never a dull job and never one that is completed because there are always new things to discover. A new study show us the best estimate of the diameter and heft of Pluto’s moon Charon and suggests that this planet likely has no atmosphere.
