Most people know that the Moon and the Sun cause the tides, but few understand why we get two high tides each day, or why a tidal bulge forms on the opposite side of the Earth from the Moon.
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars beyond our Sun. Discovering them may answer one of the most asked questions: Are we alone in the universe?
X-ray light does not only enable us to look at our bones, it also helps scientists to analyse tiny molecules that make up all living things.
