The Plasma Shield that Guards Us It Snows on Mars Mars is probably the only planet fully inhabited by robots so far. Despite that, there’s still a whole lot we don’t know about the Red Planet. According to the simulations, the summertime snow on Mars happens in bursts that can last for several hours. These…
The long-term habitability of Earth is a massive debate these days. More often than not, these discussions are somehow linked to the progress of different space agencies, who are in the quest of sending humans to Mars. Scientists are trying to find other habitable planets (besides Earth) in the universe so that our species should…
V404 Cygni is one of the most peculiar black holes known to humanity because the change in direction of its wobbling relativistic jets can be observed in a matter of minutes. V404 Cygni is actually a binary microquasar system comprising of a black hole, which is about 9 times the mass of our sun. This…
Astronomers have taken the first image of a black hole, in the core of Messier 87 (M-87) galaxy, by using a virtual telescope of the size of the Earth. Scientists collected the data from a network of 8 radio telescopes (Event Horizon Telescope) around the world to create a picture which shows the violent neighborhood…
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) of NASA allowed the researchers to study a new stellar-mass black hole called J1820. NICER found this massive black hole (10 times the mass of the Sun) by detecting the X-rays emitting from it as it consumed material from a companion star. The name given to this newly-discovered…
The electromagnetic radiation and light from wormholes might help in determining the shape of this exotic object. Any mathematical model which merges three dimensions of space with the one dimension of time to produce a single 4-dimensional continuum is called Space-time. This phenomenon is closely associated with Wormholes, a speculative structure that could create shortcuts…
Researchers discover 2MASS J18082002-5104378 B, a member from the 1st generation of stars. Do you get amazed by all the stars that you see in the night sky? A recent study published in the journal ‘The Astrophysical Journal’ shows that scientists have now found something even more exciting, a 13.5-billion-year-old star which is almost entirely…
We have a lot of mysterious things going around us. The galaxy that contains our Solar System is called the Milky Way. It is full of mysteries and scientists are trying incredibly hard to unveil them but it seems as if all their efforts are proving insufficient, at least for now. Despite the technological advancements,…
Scientists make some progress about the mysterious light flashes discovered in deep space last year. Fast Radio Burst (FRB) is an astrophysical phenomenon whose origin is still unknown to humanity. It is manifested as a high-energy radio pulse which, on average, lasts for a few milliseconds. The first occurrence of discovering an FRB was reported…
The most complex experimental facility of the world has made some awesome discoveries in the first 10 years of its operation. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle collider and the largest machine in the world which has a circumference of 27 kilometers. It lies at a depth of 175 meters beneath…
The rotation theory of the universe suggests that if the sun shall rise tomorrow, it may just be a fraction late. Since the Earth came into being some 4.6 billion years ago, every day it spins once around its axis just like the rising and setting of the Sun. This will continue to happen till…
Physicists used the theory of Hawking radiations to spot the ghosts of a black hole from a pre-Big Bang universe. The idea that there are other universes around us is quite common in today’s technological world and researchers are using all the possible means to find something substantial in this regard. It has always been…
Supermassive black holes provide the necessary material to the newly formed black holes to grow and expand. Black holes have always been an intriguing phenomenon since its discovery. Researchers from different parts of the world make considerable investments of time and money to understand these amazing marvels of nature. This led to a lot of…
Researchers are quite happy about a discovery as they are hopeful that it will help the Astrophysicists to understand the links between Gravitational Waves, Neutron Stars Merger, and Short Gamma-ray Bursts. The gravitationally collapsed core of a large star is called a ‘Neutron Star’. They are the smallest as well as the densest stars that…
Radio and Infrared telescopes were used to see what happens as a black hole rips apart a passing star. The phrase ‘Humanity fears what it does not know’ fits best to Black Holes as we are unaware of their origin. Scientists are trying very hard to figure out the building block of this cosmic structure…
Sean Raymond, an Astrophysicist at the Observatory of Bordeaux, suggests that nearly a million planets supporting life could orbit a black hole. Black Holes are one of the most amazing concepts and scientists are quite keen to explore more and more about them. We do know that the gravitational pull in these regions of space…
An improved version of Large Hadron Collider called Future Circular Collider is under-development which could produce enough energy to create Black Holes. In Particle Physics, a Hadron is a composite particle of quarks held together by a strong force in the same way as molecules are comprised of atoms bonded by electromagnetic forces. A Hadron…
The Equation of Universe becomes more and more doubtful as we lost the legendary Stephen Hawking. The universe is full of secrets and humans are striving hard to know as much of them as possible. Astronomy has helped us the most in this regard as we now have the knowledge of far-off areas of space.…
Scientists claim that a strange wind blew past a Black Hole. Black holes are those places in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot get through it. The presence of too much mass in small space is the reason why the gravitational strength is so strong there. As light cannot…
Are Black Holes the most powerful thing in the universe? Supermassive black holes are considered the central point of almost every galaxy out there. They are extremely dangerous as they have the potential to wipe out the very galaxy it resides in. The reason for this frightening threat is, the blazing energy these holes have,…
The highest resolution instrument in the history of astronomy is about to prove if black holes are real or not. Even though Albert Einstein’s theories showed potential black holes, neither the physician himself was sure of them. Until now, no one had a concrete proof that the theory of general relativity is real, but this…
NASA’s astronomers discovered an unique phenomenon with Markarian 335 Black Hole. Two telescopes for astronomical observation, Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array and NASA’s Explorer missions Swift, have managed to caught a supermassive black hole in the midst of a giant eruption of X-ray light. “This is the first time we have been able to link the…
The black hole allows researchers to analyze its retail behavior. Finally, the researchers succeeded in creating a “miniature” of a black hole. When X-ray energy is directed towards a molecule, it removes all of its electrons, so it creates a hole that attracts the electrons of the atoms around. This effect is produced only on…
The theory says that there have been a collision between two galaxies and the black holes of these galaxies began to gravitee around each other. The collision of two galaxies is resulting in the formation of a new one This phenomenon was observed by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, and the mass of the black hole…
