    July 28, 2023 /

Let's take a closer look at what LEO, MEO and GEO satellites are, and why more companies are investing in LEO and MEO satellites to support space exploration.

    A Pulsar With Planets

    June 18, 2023 /

    A pulsar is probably the deadliest object in the Universe. Despite their beauty, you wouldn't want to get close to one of them! They are a type of neutron star that emits a highly focused beam of electromagnetic radiation from both magnetic poles. This radiation, deadly to any form of life, can only be visible when one of the two beams is turned to face towards the observer.

What is celestial navigation, how does it work and when was it relied upon?
