All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend. These mysterious substances are called dark energy and dark matter. Astronomers infer their existence based on their gravitational influence on what little bits of the universe can be seen, but dark matter and energy themselves continue to elude all detection.

Journey of Venus (2018-2020) A marvelous composite image β made of photos acquired over 500 days (1.5 years) showing the waxing and waning of Venus, and the changing size of the planetβs visible disk, as it orbits the sun one step inward from Earth by @prabhuskutti . Follow us to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum . Looking to the immediate right of the sun, Venus is shown in its crescent phase just after its October 26, 2018, inferior conjunction, when it passed between Earth and the sun and entered the morning sky. Looking to the left of the sun in this composite, the first image shows Venus after it emerged from the sunβs glare again, following its August 14, 2019 superior conjunction. Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the third brightest object in Earth's sky after the Sun and Moon. The surface of Venus is hidden by an opaque layer of clouds that are formed from sulphuric acid which makes it looks featureless through telescopic observation. Venus overtakes Earth every 584 days as it orbits the Sun, it changes from the "Evening Star", visible after sunset, to the "Morning Star", visible before sunrise. Capture details: Date: December 15, 2018, until June 23, 2020 Equipment details: 16" newtonian f/4.5 & Celestron HD 11" with ZWO 290MC - ES 3x - IR685nm/ UV-IR cut filter. Daystar quark with Esprit 80ED APO - ZWO1600MM Pro for the sun. Processing details: Stacked all the videos in Autostakkert and sharpened it in Registax then finally created the collage with the hydrogen alpha sun in the middle in photoshop Location: Mleiha, UAE.

Buckle ur seat belt... Here we come July!!! Astronomical Events lined up for next month get ready. Do follow for more interesting content @the_astrophysics_forum . The Lunar Eclipse will take place on the night of 4th and 5th July. In India, it would be morning of July 5th between 8:30 am and 11:30 am. The eclipse will last for 2 hours and 45 mins. The waning, gibbous moon will meet up with the planets Jupiter and Saturn, and you can catch the celestial trio above the southern horizon just before they fade into the daylight. Venus will reach its greatest brightness in its 2020 morning apparition. It will be shining brightly at mag -4.5. The first in a trio of meteor showers that round out the month, the Piscis Austrinid meteor shower will peak on the night of July 28th. As its name implies, this shower can be seen lower in the southeastern sky of the southern hemisphere.

Emotional interview about SpaceX by Elon Musk Follow to explore more with us @the_astrophysics_forum The companyβs first three launches failed which sparked scepticism in many investors. They only had enough money for one more launch; they were almost at the verge of bankruptcy. It was a very stressful time for Musk. The fourth launch was a huge success, and as a consequence SpaceX received a contract from NASA for $1.6 billion. SpaceX was sending rockets to space at one third the cost of any other agencies in the business. Musk had gone all out for the SpaceX launch which, fortunately for him, turned out to be a success.
