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.
Earth seems like a big planet, but the truth is that it is just a drop in the ocean when we put it next to the whole universe. This is still a big unknown, although we have managed to compile a map and are already feeling the terrain far from our home. But if we still don't know if there is life on other planets, we do know that the home of humanity is actually a relatively small space compared to other bodies in the universe.
If you hate flying, then this tech news is music to your ears. British Reaction Engines invented the Skylon, a plane that will take us anywhere in four hours. Yes, anywhere in the world. But that's not all. They set themselves a higher goal: space flight.
Maybe it's because we were inspired by the recently released film Interstellar, or maybe it's just because we want to escape to other planets these cold days - we've put together a selection of ten science fiction movies that every real man should know. Are you among them?
Albert Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, but I'm not quite sure about the universe." little one. Even our planet, Earth, is only a fragment in this magnificent mosaic, the image of which allows us to see on an ever-increasing scale through satellites, telescopes and probes.
