The mass of a typical small cloud is about 10 tons Although it can be 100-200 tons😱 This is the mass of moisture that makes up the cloud. But heavy thunderstorm clouds, the ones that bring streams of rain, blue-black in color, can weigh up to 1500-2000 tons

Photo of the shadow of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way The Event Horizon telescope has taken the first-ever photo of the shadow of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, the European Southern Observatory reports. Scientists found that the center of the Milky Way coincides with a faint radio noise source called Sagittarius A, 27,000 light-years from the Sun, where the black hole is located. Observations were made in 2017 and took five years to process as the brightness and structure of the gas around Sagittarius A changed rapidly. This discovery finally proved the existence of a black hole in the center of our galaxy.

How many suns can a planet have? Planets with two suns, such as those in Star Wars, are not uncommon, especially on a cosmic scale. Three suns are much rarer, yet there are cases. The approximate distance at which stars stop interacting is tens of thousands of astronomical units. Within these limits, even very distant objects are bound together by invisible forces, which are also constantly distorted by the effects of black holes. Nevertheless, an equilibrium point can theoretically be found. American researchers give the example of our solar system, in which there are many moons, but the 9 satellites of Jupiter have no effect on the Earth. In the same way, the stars, being in the same system, may not have a destructive effect on their planet.

For the first time in 50 years: the U.S. Defense Department will hold hearings on UFOs Previously, U.S. intelligence published a preliminary assessment of 144 reports of "unidentified airborne phenomena" since 2004. On May 17, a closed secret hearing on a Pentagon program, known as the Aerial Object Identification and Control Group, will be held. It was created in 2021 after U.S. intelligence released an estimate of 144 reports of "unidentified airborne phenomena" and could explain only one.

Photos of Mars show "doors to an underground temple," according to NASA. But, as you can imagine, that’s most likely a common illusion.

HD 140283 is a subgiant star 190 light years from Earth. It belongs to the second generation of stars with low metal content. Subgiant HD 140283 belongs to a group of highly ancient stars, born several hundred million years after the Big Bang. It was born in a dwarf galaxy that the Milky Way absorbed more than 12 billion years ago. Below, I’ve attached a comparison of the size of HD 140283 with other stars that can be seen in the starry sky.

Some planets may be more habitable than Earth Earth doesn't have to be the best planet in the universe. Two dozen planets outside our Solar System are already known to have conditions more suited for life. Potential "super habitable" planets could be much older, slightly larger, slightly warmer, and possibly wetter than Earth. All 24 of the top "superhabitable" contenders are more than 100 light-years away. But habitability doesn't mean these planets definitely have life on them, they're just conditions conducive to life.
