2070: Alone on Earth – Day Three. AI-Generated.
The third day arrives with pale light filtering through cracked blinds. I sit at the edge of my bed longer than usual. My muscles are sore, my mind quieter. It’s the first morning that feels less like an emergency and more like an existence. There’s a strange comfort in the routine—the knowledge that I survived another night. That I can still decide how to shape the day ahead.

Mirror-like Exoplanets: Alien Worlds Reflecting Light Like Giant Cosmic Mirrors
In the infinite depths of space, astronomers are discovering more than just new planets—they’re uncovering worlds that defy expectations. One of the most fascinating recent discoveries is the existence of mirror-like exoplanets: distant planets whose surfaces are so reflective, they shine like cosmic beacons, bouncing their star’s light back into the void like giant interstellar mirrors.

Planets Covered in Liquid Metal: Science Fiction Becoming Reality
Imagine standing on the shore of a planet where oceans shimmer not with water, but with molten iron, zinc, or sodium. The air is thick with metallic vapors. A red, swollen star hangs overhead, casting eerie reflections across a glowing mercury sea. It sounds like a scene from a futuristic movie, but recent scientific discoveries suggest such planets might not only exist—they may already be within our reach.

The Cosmic Vacuum: How It Affects Matter
When we hear the word "vacuum," our minds often picture emptiness, absolute silence, and a complete absence of life. The cosmic vacuum truly fits this image — it’s almost a perfect void, where matter is nearly nonexistent, pressure drops to nearly zero, and temperatures can swing wildly from extreme cold to blistering heat. But what actually happens to matter when it encounters this harsh and alien environment? The answer is fascinating, complex, and full of surprising scientific insights.

Intergalactic Space: What’s Really Out There Beyond the Void?
When we picture outer space, most of us imagine dazzling stars, swirling galaxies, colorful nebulae, and the familiar planets of our solar system. But between those brilliant cosmic landmarks lies an immense stretch of emptiness — the intergalactic space. At first glance, it might seem like a vast, lifeless void, completely devoid of matter or meaning. Yet, this seemingly empty realm is far more intriguing and complex than it appears. So, what exactly exists in that dark gulf between galaxies?

Where Does the Solar System End and Real Space Begin?
When you gaze up at the night sky, it’s natural to think of the Solar System as everything orbiting our Sun — the planets, asteroids, comets, and other space rocks. But have you ever wondered where exactly our cosmic neighborhood ends and the vast, mysterious expanse of “real” space begins? In other words, where does the Solar System stop, and the wider Universe start?
