Deep Space // Exploration
For decades we research about deep space structures. Nebulas, stars, exoplanets are our primary focus, when we talk about space exploration. However, recently, we started to research about atmospheric conditions on planets in Solar System. We are particularly interested for gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, etc.).
Astronomy
Astronomy, science that encompasses the study of all extraterrestrial objects and phenomena. Until the invention of the telescope and the discovery of the laws of motion and gravity in the 17th century, astronomy was primarily concerned with noting and predicting the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, originally for calendrical and astrological purposes and later for navigational uses and scientific interest.

MISSION
To Make a Breakthrough in Astronomical Research
Exoplanets
We work hard on research about exoplanets scattered around the universe. Our lab “Exoplanet Corridor” is all about trying to find life support conditions on these strange and distant worlds.
Sun
We work hard on research about solar corona and plasma. Our lab “Solar Corridor” is all about to find how our star is changing and evolving over time, within our Solar System.
Galaxies
We work hard on research about the structure of the galaxies. Our lab “Galaxy Corridor” is all about trying to find out more about galactical changes through time and space.
Comets
We work hard on research about comets in our Solar System. Our lab “Comets Corridor” is all about to find and research more about Ort Cloud, which is very far from the sun.
RESEARCH
We Enjoy in New Research Projects
We work on many research projects around the world. Our partners are some of the biggest space agencies, but also great world observatories. Every day, we are trying to reach new borders in astronomical science.
JUPITER
Jupiter is more than twice as massive than the other planets of our solar system combined. The giant planet's Great Red Spot is a centuries-old storm bigger than Earth.

OVERVIEW
Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter's stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a giant storm bigger than Earth that has raged for hundreds of years. Jupiter is surrounded by dozens of moons. Jupiter also has several rings, but unlike the famous rings of Saturn, Jupiter’s rings are very faint and made of dust, not ice.

Great Red Spot
The largest and most powerful hurricanes ever recorded on Earth spanned over 1,000 miles across with winds gusting up to around 200 mph. That’s wide enough to stretch across nearly all U.S. states east of Texas. But even that kind of storm is dwarfed by the Great Red Spot, a gigantic storm in Jupiter. There, gigantic means twice as wide as Earth.
Jupiter's Massive Storm
Jupiter's Clouds
Jupiter's clouds are made mostly of ammonia crystals and appear in bands across the planet. These bands are created by strong jet streams that blow in opposite directions. The colors of the clouds range from white and yellow to brown and red, depending on their chemical composition. Scientists study these clouds to learn more about the planet’s atmosphere.

New Research on Saturn’s Polar Hexagon
One of the most curious and captivating features on Saturn – an enormous spinning hexagon in the clouds at its north pole – has fascinated scientists and the public alike since our first glimpse of it in the 1980s. Scientists first observed the six-sided jet stream when the two Voyager spacecraft passed by Saturn in 1980 and 1981. But their trajectories prevented the Voyagers from capturing the entire monstrous hexagon – twice as wide as Earth – in a single image from above. As they flew past, their viewing angle offered only tantalizing glimpses of its edge.
Olympus Mons is a Gigantic Volcano Structure
The largest of the volcanoes in the Tharsis Montes region, as well as all known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is a shield volcano 624 km (374 mi) in diameter (approximately the same size as the state of Arizona), 25 km (16 mi) high, and is rimmed by a 6 km (4 mi) high scarp. To compare, the largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano 10 km (6.3 mi) high and 120 km (75 mi) across. The volume of Olympus Mons is about 100 times larger than that of Mauna Loa.
What We Know About Jupiter's Atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and water. Although water is thought to reside deep in the atmosphere, its directly measured concentration is very low. The nitrogen, sulfur, and noble gas abundances in Jupiter's atmosphere exceed solar values by a factor of about three.
Research on Distant Worlds
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System. The first possible evidence of an exoplanet was noted in 1917 but was not recognized as such. The first confirmation of the detection occurred in 1992. A different planet, initially detected in 1988, was confirmed in 2003. As of 1 December 2023, there are 5,550 confirmed exoplanets in 4,089 planetary systems, with 887 systems having more than one planet. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to discover more exoplanets, and also much more about exoplanets, including composition, environmental conditions and potential for life.
