Space discoveries that will blow your mind S ince NASA's inception in 1958, astronauts have landed on the moon, parked a robot-controlled over on Mars, and discovered thousands of exoplanets-planets that orbit stars outside of this solar system. Scientists can even explore the 95% of invisible space comprised of dark energy, dark matter, and dark radiation. The size of the universe is hard to fathom, and it's expanding even faster than scientists originally thought. While humans will never map out the entirety of space, that doesn't stop them from exploring it. In honor of National Space Day on May 6, Stacker compiled a list of 30 mind- blowing space discoveries after searching news archives and reports from NASA. Keep reading to see what they've uncovered-from a super-Earth and sun twins to the first photograph of a black hole. You may also like: History of famous firsts in space
Super-Earth An expolanet with a mass almost three times that of Earth was discovered in 2017 by A. Suárez Mascareño and her team with the HARPS-N spectrograph on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo off the coast of Spain. This "super-Earth" is located 21 light-years away and orbits its M dwarf star in only two weeks. Scientists have their eyes set on these common planet types as a possibility for life.
Potentially habitable planet In 2017, an exoplanet about the size of Earth, Ross 128b, was discovered by Xavier Bonfils of the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble and the University of Grenoble Alpes in France. This could be the closest planet to our solar system that is potentially habitable.
Liquid-filled canyons on Titan In 2013, NASA's Cassini spacecraft found deep canyons about a half-mile wide on Saturn's moon Titan. These Grand Canyon-like formations are filled with liquid hydrocarbon. This was the first time researchers found evidence of both liquid-filled channels and canyons on Titan.
