There are many objects flying around in the Solar System, some large, some small. Vesta earns the title of largest asteroid in our solar system: It has a diameter of 530 km at its widest, which is roughly to the distance from Berlin to Vienna. And before you ask: Ceres used to have this title, but since then has been promoted to dwarf planet status. Travel tens of thousands of kilometers with a tip of your finger - with the new app Redshift Sky for Android and iOS no distance is too far for you!

How do you feel today? Well rested? Or did you wake up feeling like a zombie, in desperate need of brains?

In space, you might not wake up feeling like a zombie, but you sleep like one. As gravity even in Earth’s orbit is considerably lower than on Earth, your arms tend to float up, leaving astronauts in the zombie sleeping position. To avoid that you would have to strap your arms to your sleeping bag, which is probably too uncomfortable for a good night’s sleep.
How about space discovery from your own bed? Our app Redshift Sky works great 😉

Have you ever seen a solar eclipse? For most people, it is a once in a lifetime event.
Except that this is not the whole truth:
Every year, about three to five solar eclipses occur.
However, most of them are either partial eclipses, i.e. the Moon only covers parts of the Sun, or annular eclipses, i.e. the moon is directly in front of the Sun, but the Moon seems too small so that a ring of the Sun is still visible. In many of these cases the Sun is too bright to recognize more than a slight dimming 👀.

The special solar eclipses are, of course, the total ones. These are indeed very rare. Statistically speaking, there is a total solar eclipse about every 18 months somewhere on Earth. But not every place on Earth has the same chance of experiencing a total eclipse: mathematicians calculated that some places might see one only every 400 years 🙄!
To get a good view of our Sun without damaging your eyes check out our app Redshift Sky Pro.

A grain of sand can hide 10,000 galaxies!

We all know that space is, well, spacious. But let’s look at an example to demonstrate the vastness of our universe:
if you hold a grain of sand in the night sky, the surface that this grain covers will hide about 10,000 galaxies 🌌.
Galaxies that are as big or even bigger than our own, the Milky Way.

With the new app Redshift Sky for Android and iOS, nothing remains hidden from you. Start your expedition into space now and discover the universe anew! 🔭

We already talked about the astronaut’s love for shrimp cocktail. Luckily the menu for space travel has gotten much better over the years and offers some variety. Astronauts can choose from up to 200 different food items and actively choose what they want to eat while on their mission.
That can range from tacos 🌮 , scrambled eggs 🍳 and pizza 🍕to nuts 🥜 , strawberry shortcake 🍰 , but also fresh fruit 🍎🍌🍊, at least at the beginning of a mission 😅.
Whatever your favorite food is: you can still explore space from the comfort of your own home with Redshift Sky.

Astronauts love shrimp cocktail
When it comes to food in space, science has made huge progress: astronauts don’t rely on freeze-dried meals or nutritious pastes out of tubes anymore like they used to. One dish, however, has remained an all-time favorite: shrimp cocktail Due to the low gravity on space stations, flavors are not as potent as they are down on Earth. Shrimp cocktail is so beloved by astronauts because it still tastes great at zero gravity – it contains cocktail sauce, which makes it taste tangy and spicy. Whatever your favorite dish is - with the new app Redshift Sky for Android and iOS you can discover space without changing your eating habits!

The Milky Way– a beautiful name for our galaxy, befitting of how it looks at night. But as with many things, that’s only one way to look at it. Through history and languages, different people saw different objects in our Milky Way, all of them quite poetic.

Milky Way is how the ancient Romans called it and what many languages adopted, but in Faroese and Swedish, it’s called “Winter Way” ❄️; in Japanese, it’s called “River of Heaven”. We like the older Hungarian name, “the Road of the Warriors” ⚔️ , in classic Arabic it was known as “Haymakers’ Way”, and in Akkadian it was “the snake of the skies” 🐍 ...
How ever you may call it, you can explore the Milky Way or The Way of the White Elephant 🐘 (that’s Thai!) on our app for iOS and Android.

Hours, days, weeks, months, years: The units of time are very much depending on your point of reference. Or rather, the planet you’re currently standing on. While an Earth day, i.e. the rotation of Earth around its own axis, takes 24 hours, and a year, i.e. the rotation around the Sun, takes 365.25 days, things are a bit different on Venus. The planet takes 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun, but 243 earth days to rotate once around its own axis.
Discover something new about the universe every day with the new app Redshift Sky. When does your expedition begin?

Do you believe in horoscopes and constellations ♉♊♓?
We don’t. Since our expertise and interest lie more in the scientific discovery of our galaxy rather than astrology, we are debunking an idea – planetary alignment of the Solar System and its catastrophic consequences.

☀️⚪⚫🌍🌕🔴🔵

When viewed from the Sun, all planets would have to be lined up in a row. However mathematically possible, it is quite improbable. For one, the planets in our Solar System don’t travel at the same exact plane. And: it’s already quite rare that all planets are on the same side of the Sun.
But if several planets (and moons) ever align, it’s a lucky day for astronomers, because that’s an excellent time to send a space probe – so you can take pictures of several objects along the journey like the Voyager did back in the Seventies. You can see the result of this resourceful space exploration in our app Redshift Sky, available for iOS and Android.

Some things change very quickly (like the rules of #socialdistancing), others seem to last forever (also #socialdistancing). One thing that clearly belongs in the second category are the footprints on the moon that were left by astronauts on various missions. Since there is no erosion by wind or water, the traces and footprints left by the moon landings will most likely be visible for eternity or until our universe ends. Discover the moon and much more with the new app Redshift Sky. Have fun exploring!

A spacesuit costs $12million 💰💰💰.

We don’t know about you, but many of us at Redshift Sky wanted to become astronauts when we were younger 🚀🌕.

However, going to space is no walk in the park –in more senses than one. Not only is the preparation for space missions grueling work. The suit alone for working in space costs a fortune as well.
At $12 million, it is a bit too pricey for most of us 😅.
Luckily, you don’t need an expensive space suit to explore space –our Redshift Sky app will do the trick for you 😎.

As beautiful and fascinating space is, it is also frightening and dangerous and quite deadly. Without any protection of a proper space suit and/or a space shuttle around a human body, we could survive in space for about two minutes. After that you would die from suffocating. But don’t worry, you would probably be unconscious by then. Therefore we suggest that you stay safe and stay inside.
With our new app Redshift Sky for Android and iOS you can explore space from the safety of your home, and you will have more than two minutes to see the far reaches of the universe!

Is it a bird 🐦 Is it a plane ✈️ ?
No, it’s Supermoon! 🌝
If you’re lucky with the weather this Thursday, you might be in for a treat: this month’s full moon is going to be a supermoon and the last supermoon of 2020. 🎑

Although “supermoon” is not a scientific term, it describes the phenomenon when the full moon comes very close to Earth. Depending on how closely the full moon coincides with the Moon’s perigee, the supermoon can appear 7 to 15 percent larger and brighter than usual. But even if the skies were not acting in your favor on Thursday, you can always rely on our app to see our Moon in all its beauty.

We already talked about Enceladus in a past post. When there are organic molecules, liquid water can’t be too far away Scientists have confirmed that this moon of Saturn has an abundance of water. In 2010, the Cassini mission found evidence that Enceladus probably has a liquid water ocean beneath its frozen surface. Explore Enceladus and the other moons of Saturn with the app Redshift Sky!

Olympus Mons is a colossus

When humans want to enjoy a good view of their surroundings, they hike up a mountain 🏔️. The highest point you could reach on our home planet is of course Mount Everest with its 8848 meters.

But the Himalayan peak is nothing next to the highest known mountain in our solar system: Olympus Mons on Mars. With its peak reaching a staggering height of 26 km, it would provide a great platform to enjoy the vastness of the Red Planet 🔭👀.
Explore the colossus with the new app Redshift Sky.
