The night is dark and stormy at the beach. A crowd prays to the thunder in the skies. All hail the god of chaos, who sleeps no more. Cthulhu, the great, green, bringer of madness rises! A colossal shadow emerges from the ocean. Wielding tentacles, wings and eyes that reach deep into your soul and your mind. If Cthulhu, the terrifying demi-god from classic literature, was here, who would it attack first? What would happen when you looked at it? And why would you bring out the big guns?

You’d need 1.3 million Earths to fill up the volume of the Sun. Our Sun is so big it makes up over 99% of the mass of our Solar System.

From 150 million km (93 million mi) away on Earth, the Sun looks small, but it’s really our Solar System’s current powerhouse.

What if we shrunk the Sun down so Earth became the biggest celestial body in our Universe?

Is alien life really out there? Humanity has wondered about it for decades, and according to scientists, this might finally be a reality. Astronomers have discovered there could be life on Venus. Does this mean we’ll finally meet aliens? Could this help us discover other aliens? And what does this discovery mean for us?

Ever feel like the Earth is just too small for the Solar System? Well, let’s make it bigger! Welcome to a new Earth that is just as big as Jupiter. Would the Earth get its own Great Red Spot? How would it interact with other celestial bodies, including Jupiter itself? Would Earth’s growth change the composition of space?

On an Earth of cosmic proportions the size of Jupiter, your body would get heavier with the higher surface gravity. How would you get out of bed if you weighed 11 times your weight? Would Earth attract the planets orbiting the Sun? Take a magical journey through space with us to find out!

635 light-years from where you are sitting, way out in outer space, lies a planet. The first planet to be discovered inside the habitable zone of a Sun-like star. Its name is Kepler 22-b. When a planet is located within a star’s habitable zone, it means that there is a chance that liquid water exists on its surface. And where there’s water, there’s also the possibility of life. Human life. What would the weather be like over there?

In a matter of days, a nearby volcano will erupt, spewing debris and lava, and decimating your city. You know that fighting fire with fire usually makes things worse, but maybe you could fight fire with ice. What happens when lava suddenly cools down? How much ice would you need? Does adding ice to a volcanic eruption make it better or worse? Would an iceberg stop the volcanic eruption? What is sublimation? How does tephra form? Would Mount Michael be the ideal place to put an iceberg into a volcano?

Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have a positive relationship for now. But as Russia goes to war with Ukraine, what would happen if the Chinese invaded Russia?

The Chinese army has over 2 million troops, double Russia’s military force. But Russia has more nukes. And neither of these turbulent countries have seen war in years. What would happen if China invaded Russia?

What could turn China against Russia? How would it impact Russia’s already- low resources from the war in Ukraine? And what would happen if this war went nuclear?
