All About Space issue 5 free preview!
Feast your eyes on some of the explosive content in the fifth issue of All About Space magazine, on sale 18 October.
Imagine you could simultaneously harness the power of all the Earth’s petrol reserves. There’s no doubt you’d have yourself quite a handy amount of energy, on the order of 1,000 zetta-joules. Now, multiply that energy by ten billion, then do it again, and you’ll have the energy released in a supernova.
Yes, there’s no doubt that when a star explodes as a supernova it releases an absolutely tremendous amount of energy. But what exactly is going on inside these explosions? We take a look at them in the cover feature of issue 5. Inside you’ll also find articles on hazardous asteroids, Robonaut 2, space ice, the first moonwalk, supersonic parachutes, the Cassini mission and much, much more. You’ll be able to grab a copy at all good newsagents and supermarkets when it goes on sale, or at the Imagine Shop and Great Digital Mags.
