Wanderers is a vision of human penetration into space based on scientific ideas and concepts of the future. And in a short sci-fi film, Erik Wernquist shows what our future in space would look like if it ever comes to fruition. The locations are digitally recreated real places in the solar system, based on real photos and maps available. Are you interested in what the human conquest of space will look like somewhere far in the future? Then don't look into the glass ball, but watch this amazing film on the screen.

Space. So boundless, so mysterious, so inscrutable. Are you interested in its secrets? We advise you to watch the following five YouTube documentaries that will absolutely amaze you and expand your knowledge to limitless widths, widths known only to the universe.
50 years ago, on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first NASA astronaut to perform a spacewalk. It lasted 23 minutes. For the Americans, the Gemini 4 mission several hundred kilometers above the Earth was a major turning point in space exploration, and White successfully tested the propulsion mechanism and space suit. And if you think you read about the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first spacewalk months ago, your memory is correct. The first spacewalker was the Russian Alexei Leonov, who succeeded in his feat on March 18 of the same year.
When we ever look up at the sky at night, we are usually only aware that we are part of the universe and that we are in the universe. But far more astonishing is the fact that the universe is within us. Therefore, when you look at the sky and feel small - because we humans are small, and the universe is infinitely large - we should really feel big, because our atoms came from the stars. From the stars that, when they disintegrated like a dandelion that we "blow", scattered their core across the galaxy. The core is rich in oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and other ingredients important for life.
For the second year in a row, the international architectural workshop or summer school AA Visiting School Slovenia (AAVSS) will be held in Vitanja, which is held as part of the Visiting School program of the renowned London architectural school Architectural Association. This year, too, the central theme will be nanotourism, and one of the attractions will be the concept of 3D sleep, which is made possible by weightless space. Instead of pajamas, you will be able to put on a special dress that is hung by a rope in the main room of KSEVT.
The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates 25 years. Since it was put into Earth's orbit a quarter of a century ago, it has greatly changed our view of space. The venerable jubilee, which will be celebrated in 60 places in Europe alone, is an opportunity to take a look at what the famous telescope has contributed. He certainly had a hand in many astronomical discoveries, including helping to figure out the size and age of the universe, which is why it originally came into being.
Are you wondering what life is like for astronauts up there on the International Space Station (ISS) where there is zero gravity. How they deal with everyday things, such as washing their hair and teeth, eating, how they sleep, etc. We have collected a bunch of entertaining and at the same time educational videos, which were sent to us 402 kilometers below the Earth by the astronauts themselves.
It is true that we walked into space for the first time "only" in 1961, but a walk through the history of spacesuits takes us back as much as 80 years. And before they became orange and white spacesuits, reminiscent of a rubber man from Michelin and an elite soldier for disarming bombs, they were closer to diving suits. Otherwise, since the 1960s, space fashion has not undergone drastic changes, but it has drastically advanced in technology.
You won't get the most accurate map of the universe at a gas station or tourist office, and you won't be able to unfold it on the dashboard of your car either. But the screen will be big enough for you to be able to see the result of a study for the scientific journal Nature, where scientists, while mapping the galaxies close to us, discovered that the Milky Way is part of a huge celestial structure of 100 thousand galaxies called Laniakea or "the vast sky". .
Among the 200,000 candidates for the first trip to the planet Mars, three potential finalists have been revealed who have met the criteria and are included in the program for the first human flight to the red planet. It is necessary to know that it is a one-way ticket and that the mission is considered suicidal. Meet the three candidates who decided to die on the planet Mars today.
On January 5, NASA took the world's largest photo with a whopping 1.5 billion pixels (69,536 x 22,230). It is an image of the Andromeda Galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (NASA/ESA).
Every year we are treated to interesting astronomical phenomena, and 2015 will be no exception. Unfortunately, we won't be able to see everyone from Slovenia, so we have prepared for you a selection of all those celestial activities that we will be able to admire even here - if, of course, the weather doesn't spoil it for us. What is "written in the stars" for Slovenia in 2015 and what no one should miss, read below.
