10 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT UNIVERESE!

-

1. We See Past In The Sky.

Everyday when we see in the day or night sky we see the past of the objects because they are very far away from our Earth and light takes much time to travel that much distance to our eyes. For example– a bright star Vega which is 25 light years away from the Earth 🌎 and when we see it we are watching the star which was 25 years ago.



2. Millions Of Litres Of Alcohol!!

At the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy a huge cloud of gas and dust is present which is called Sagittarius B and is 26000 light years away from our Solar System and it has 10 Billion Billion Billions litres of Alcohol. 



3. Revolution Of Solar System.

Our Solar System takes 225 million years to orbit one time around the Milky Way Galaxy that means when the Solar System was in this position last time there was the starting of Dinosaurs on our Earth. 

4. Neptune's Discovery

Neptune is only planet which was discovered before it was seen by the telescopes using mathematical predictions. It was first predicted by Urbain Le Verrier and was first observed by Johann Gottfried Galle on the night of 23 Sept 1846 at the Berlin Observatory.

5. We All Are Made Of Stardust.

Every element in the Universe is made of Stardust. It may be a fictitious statement but each and every element on our Earth is made in the core of some Star ✨. Our life originated on Earth by the molecules which came from stars through Meteors and Asteroids.



6. Japan's Earthquake

The Tokohu Earthquake and Tsunami came in Japan on 11 March 1846 at 14:46 JST was so powerful that it affects the rotation of our Earth. It shortens our one Solar Day by 1.8 microseconds.

7. Highest Mountain Peak.

OLYMPUS MONS is the highest mountain in our Solar System which is present on Mars. It is a Volcanic mountain and is approximately 26 km (10 mi) high which is greater than three times the height of Mount Everest. It is also 600 km wide which means it covers the ares of 600 km (372 mi).

8. Voyager 1 Spacecraft.

Voyager 1 is the only is the farthest object from our Earth which is man made and is 14,158,862,144 mi away from Earth and is traveling at a speed of 17 km per second (38000 mph). Image below is the picture of Earth which has taken from Voyager 1 and is the farthest image of Earth 🌎.



9. Pluto's Dimensions.

Diameter of the Dwarf Planet Pluto is smaller even than USA and its Surface Area is smaller than that of Russia's. We are still confused that Pluto is a part of our Solar Planets or not. It is a rocky planet and also contains mountains craters and Volcanoes. 

10. Moon Lepitus

Saturn's moon Lepitus has put our researchers into a confusion. It is the only moon in the Solar System which is of two colours. Its one side is light in colour while the other is darker. Nobody knows the reason of it but the research is going on about its weird feature.

Thank You For Visiting.

LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR!

-
Image
Outlined below are the many steps involved in a stars evolution, from its formation in nebula, to its death as a white dwarf or neutron star. NEBULA A Nebula is a cloud of gas(hydrogen) and dust in space. Nebulae are the birth places of stars. There are different types of nebula. An emission nebula e.g. such as Orion nebula, glows brightly because the gas in it is energized by the stars that have already formed within it. In a Reflection Nebula, starlight reflects on the grains of dust in a nebula. The nebula surrounding the Pleiades Cluster is typical of a reflection nebula. Dark Nebula also exist. These are dense clouds of molecular hydrogen which partially or completely absorb the light from the stars behind them e.g. the Horsehead nebula in Orion. Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.   Shop now at Amazon Pantry at best deals Amazon Pantry STAR A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat a

GRAVITY

GRAVITY What is Space Time Continuum? Time is not completely separate from and independent of space, but is combined with it to form an object called space-time. It is a matter of common experience that one can describe the position of a point in space by three numbers, or coordinates. For instance, one can say that a point in a room is 7 feet from 1 wall, 3 feet from another and 5 feet above the floor. Or one could specify that a point was at a certain latitude and longitude and a certain height above sea level. One would not specify the position of the moon in terms of kilometres north and kilometres west of a building on Earth and some feet above sea level. Instead, one might describe it in terms of distance from the Sun, distance from the plane of the orbits of the planets, and the angle between the line joining the Moon to the Sun and the line joining the Sun to a nearby star such as Alpha Centauri. Even these coordinates would not be of much use in describing the position of the

THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Here are some amazing elements that our SOLAR SYSTEM consists.  1. Sun The Sun is a star present at the centre of the Solar System. It is spherical in shape and is emmiting huge amount of light and infrared radiations with heat due to the nuclear fusion reactions in its core. It is a type of G-Typemain Sequence Star with a life span of approximately 10 billion years.  2. Planets Our Solar System consists of eight planets named Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, ordered in their respective distances from the Sun.  The smallest and the nearest planet to the is Mercury and the largest planet is Jupiter. The hottest planet is Venus and the coldest is Neptune. Listed below is the time taken by every planet to rotate around its Axis and revolve around the Sun.

CRAZY SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS IN SPACE SHUTTLE

-
Image
Outlined below are some of the coolest Space Shuttle Science Experiments: 1. Microbes Get More Virulent In Microgravity. Experiments aboard the space shuttle have shown that salmonella bacteria, a   common and sometimes deadly source of food poisoning, get more virulent in space. Scientist believe that the bacteria get ramped up because space flight tricks them into behaving as if they're inside the human gut. The shuttle missions also identified dozens of genes that seem to be involved in the hyper-virulence, as well as "master switch" protein that regulates many of these genes.  2. Space Roses Smell Different. It sounds like some sort of symbolic or ceremonial gesture: The Shuttle Discovery carried a single rose to orbit on its STS-95 mission in 1998. But there was science, and business, behind the move. The company International Flavours and Fragrances (IFF) wanted to see how microgravity altered the sweet and familiar scent of a Rose — and if a new perfume component m

NASA FOUND SALT TRACES ON MARS...

-
Image
Recently, after the testing of the samples brought from the Red Planet (Mars), NASA said that there are some possibilities of organic salt present on Mars. After this research of NASA our understanding of Mars's surface will improve. Also this will help in finding life forms in Mars as well as on different Planets. In an interview NASA said that organic compound and salt traces on Mars could be a mark of geographical processes or bacterias, like that of found by the Curiosity Rover. Salts Could Be Made from Geological Processes..... According to one research, the iron, calcium and magnesium oxalate and acetate affected by radiation and oxidation together can combine to mix up with the organic salts. These salts could be made from Geological Processes or these are the remains of micro organisms. Possibilities Of Life On Red Planet Increases.... According to NASA traces of salt could increase the possibility of organic matter present on Mars. On Earth as well such type of life forms
