Sun spots appear black presumably just because of the intensity contract with its surrounds.
Has anyone imaged a sunspot....is it possible?

I have heard that in the early 1900 solar flares interfered with telegraph operation, in one case where the telegraph would operate when the power was disconnected. This seems to me to be an apocalyptic omen. To what extent could these coronal mass ejections blow out electronics and power on earth? ...

Why is it that Falcon 9 is already ascending before the atdio countdowns has completed?

If there was a crater impact right on one of the lines of the plate you could see what sort of displacement is made to the circular crater. From a distance there looks l...

The caption is mainly focussed on the shadow of the robot whereas the landscape appears to be a lanscape of frozen ice. Is that really ice or is it just an artifact of the photograph?
