During the ancient times, people believed that the Earth is the center of the universe and everything else revolves around us. With the use of modern astronomical tools, we discovered that it is not actually the case. In the cosmological sense, our planet does not enjoy a special vantage point in the universe, which means that there is nothing special about our location.

Since the late 1950s, NASA has proposed various concepts of moon bases to achieve humans' permanent presence on the Moon. In the coming years, NASA's Artemis campaign will explore the Moon and build a base to serve as a hub for crewed moon landings.

Not all magnets exhibit the same properties. People usually think of magnets as a material that sticks to a refrigerator door. Such types of magnets exhibit electronic interactions, which give rise to magnetism. Humans have understood this property for almost a century since the early days of quantum mechanics.

Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei is known as the inventor of the telescope, although the credit goes to Dutch lens maker Hans Lippershey, who applied for a telescope patent in 1608. Since the invention of this device, humans have learned a lot about heavenly bodies and our place in the universe.
