By classical rules, stars shouldn’t exist — yet quantum tunnelling lets particles slip through barriers and spark the fusion that powers the universe. You can read my latest blog for Mission Astro to find out how this impossible-sounding physics keeps the Sun shining. read here: missionastro.org/blog/

Deep Space isn't just about technology—it's about keeping the mind and body in peak condition for years. Astronauts face isolation, weightlessness, and radiation, all while staying mentally sharp and physically fit. From artificial gravity to gaming and exercise, how do they adapt?

Do you thing you would you survive the mental and physical demands of deep space travel? For me, not a chance 😬!

Antimatter sounds like science fiction, but it’s real! When antimatter meets matter, they annihilate each other, releasing enormous energy. Just a tiny amount of antimatter—about a teaspoon—could create an explosion equal to a nuclear bomb!

Light is the fastest thing in the universe! It travels at nearly 300,000 km/s, which means it can circle Earth 7 times in just one second! At that speed, a beam of light from the Moon reaches us in just over a second! 🌙✨

Machines work hard, but how efficient are they? Efficiency tells us how well a machine converts energy into useful work, while power tells us how fast that work gets done. Think about this next time you use an appliance.

Think you could survive years in deep space with no real-time communication to Earth? 🛰️💫

Mars astronauts will face:
🚀 20-min delay in messages
🚀 Extreme isolation & stress
🚀 Muscle loss & bone weakening
🚀 AI-driven autonomy & emergency training

Training is tougher than ever—read how astronauts are adapting for Mars! 🏋️‍♂️👨‍🚀

What colour do you think bends the most through a prism? The answer is violet! Violet light has a shorter wavelength, meaning it refracts more than red light, which bends the least. That’s why rainbows appear the way they do!

At lower pressure (like on a mountain), water boils at a lower temperature because there is less air pressing down on it. This means water starts boiling more quickly since it doesn’t need as much heat to reach its boiling point.
However, since the boiling temperature is lower, the water isn’t as hot as it would be at sea level. So, even though it’s bubbling away, the food inside is cooking at a lower temperature. This makes cooking take longer because the heat energy available is less than what it would be at a higher pressure.
That’s why at high altitudes, people sometimes use pressure cookers—they trap steam inside, increasing the pressure and raising the boiling point so food cooks faster

Think light always moves at the speed of light? Not in water! Light slows down to about 225,000,000 m/s when passing through water, creating refraction. Can you think of other substances where light slows down?
