The Hubble Space Telescope has been exploring the universe for over 30 years! Launched in 1990, Hubble orbits Earth at 5 miles per second, fast enough to cross the U.S. in just 10 minutes! It captures images of stars, galaxies trillions of miles away, and even comets crashing into Jupiter.

What happens when you mix red (hot) and blue (cold) water? You’d expect purple… but not this time! Because hot water is less dense than cold water, the layers stay separate instead of mixing. This reel (@mrs.b.tv) shows the same principle explains how warm and cold fronts form in Earth’s atmosphere.

Because of "relative velocity time dilation", the high-speeds that astronauts aboard the ISS are traveling mean that time slows down for them relative to people on the surface of the Earth. (3/4)

It’s not a failsafe anti-aging trick though: after 6 months on the ISS, astronauts are only 0.005 seconds younger than the rest of us. Very interesting! (4/4)

Did you know astronauts age slower in space? Thanks to time dilation, their high speeds aboard the ISS make time tick a little slower than on Earth! But don’t pack your bags yet. After 6 months, they’re only about 0.005 seconds younger. Still, pretty mind-blowing! www.youtube.com/shorts/ESXvd...
