The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина СГ-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989. [1]
A map of the Boötes Void. The Boötes Void (/ b oʊ ˈ oʊ t iː z / boh-OH-teez) (colloquially referred to as the Great Nothing) [1] is an approximately spherical region of space found in the vicinity of the constellation Boötes, containing only 60 galaxies instead of the 2,000 that should be expected from an area this large, hence its name.
The Xiaozhai Tiankeng is 626 meters (2,054 feet) long, 537 meters (1,762 feet) wide, and between 511 and 662 meters (1,677 and 2,172 ft) deep, with vertical walls. Its volume is 119,349,000 m³ and the area of its opening is 274,000 m 2. This material has been dissolved and carried away by the river.
As the race in space was winding down, soviet scientists turned inwards. You'd never guess that this is the site of one of their great achievements. This hard-to-find rusty cap in the ruins of a ...
A hole in the distribution of galaxies separating Sculptor and Microscopium voids the size of (redshift) 1250 km/s appears to exist. This is roughly 1/2 of Microscopium's diameter. [11] Ophiuchus Void: near 17 h −25° < 5000 km/s (the outer limit) perhaps 0–5000 km/s 25% of average universe density is the void density of matter.
In 2012, scientists exploring blue holes in the Bahamas discovered bacteria deep in the caves where no other life existed, potentially filling the knowledge “gap” on what types of lifeforms ...
Drilling holes does not provide direct evidence against the hypothesis. The deepest hole drilled to date is the Kola Superdeep Borehole, [60] with a true vertical drill-depth of around 12 km (7.5 mi). However, the distance to the center of the Earth is nearly 6,400 km (4,000 mi). [61]
Webb's First Deep Field is the first full false-color image from the JWST, [12] and the highest-resolution infrared view of the universe yet captured. [11] The image reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of the universe, with Webb's sharp near-infrared view bringing out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most ...
