All you need to know about Kilonovas

All you need to know about Kilonovas

Kilonovas have already answered a lot of long-lasting mysteries and there is certainly a lot more to come. Let’s delve deep into what seems something straight out of a sci-fi movie. Gone are the times when a ‘Supernova’, a blast when a star dies, was the only cool thing around. Now we have ‘Kilonovas’, which…

A Collision between Galaxies Produced a Giant Ring of Black Holes

A Collision between Galaxies Produced a Giant Ring of Black Holes

Scientists found a ring galaxy which is 300 million light-years away from Earth. The galaxies whose gravitational fields create a disturbance among each other are called Interacting or Colliding galaxies. They are quite common during galaxy evolution. Some people might confuse intergalactic collisions with the conventional meaning of collision but it happens only at the…

Protons Greatly Influence the Properties of the Neutron Stars

Protons Greatly Influence the Properties of the Neutron Stars

The findings of CLAS Collaboration might alter the understanding of people about neutron stars. It is quite obvious from their name that neutron stars are comprised primarily of the neutral subatomic particles known as the neutrons. Due to this reason, it was assumed that most of the properties of the neutron stars are influenced by…

Einstein’s Theory of Gravity passes yet another Test

Einstein’s Theory of Gravity passes yet another Test

An international team of researchers have shown that Einstein’s insights into gravity hold true, even in extreme scenarios. Albert Einstein came up with a theory in 1905 which said that the laws of Physics are exactly the same for the observers who are either at rest or moving with uniform velocity. Similarly, the speed of…

The merger of Binary Neutron Star produces a burst of Gamma Radiations

The merger of Binary Neutron Star produces a burst of Gamma Radiations

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…

Binaries from Milky Way to be detected

Binaries from Milky Way to be detected

A gravitational wave detector that might emerge to the scene in 16 years will allow humans to detect binaries in the universe. There are infinite numbers of components that exist in the galaxy. All the elements that articulate our galaxy play a vital role. Some of these matters are more common such as stars, planets,…
