Discoveries That Will Increase Your curiosity In Space.

Diamond planet In 2004 astronomers Michael Endl,Fritz Benedict, William Cochran, Barbara Mc Arthur, From Yale University discovered a planet made entirely of Diamond .This planet is named 55 CANCRI E.it an exoplanet that orbit its main star 55 CANCRI A . If we are talking about its size, its size is twice as big as the Earth. Due to the large amount of graphite in high pressure and the increase in temperature that planet has completely turned into a diamond .This planet is 40 light years away from us. It surfaces temperature is always 2700 degrees Celsius .It completes its star orbit in just 18 days. Its radius is about 12000 km where Earth is 6371 km.That is why it is also called Super Earth. Since the planet is a diamond, Scientist say it orbit its main star from a very short distance. So with that the rising temperature ,graphite has turned into a Diamond that is 10 billion trillion trillion carat .If we talk about the price of a diamond for this whole planet , it will come out to b

How Big Our Solar System Is In The Universe ?

 The universe we live in is infinitely infinite and constantly expanding. We can’t even imagine it.If we assumed that our universe was the same as Earth’s then our Solar system would be absorbed in a one grain of the sand. But the truth is that even this grain of sand is too big for us.  If you also think that our solar system is limited to the Pluto(dwarf planet)  then it not. Pluto is only 10% of our Solar system. You will be amazed at the vastness of our solar system. Going beyond Pluto is where it all begins. KUIPER BELT Pluto is followed by the Kuiper belt. This is 30 AU (astronomical unit) from our sun. This Kuiper belt contains countless asteroids and comets. This belt is also home to dwarf planets like HAUMEA and MAKE MAKE. The Kuiper belt is named after Gerard Kuiper. Comets from the Kuiper belt often come to the sun .This is due to the gravity of Neptune planet .Such comets are called short period comets .Many objects in the Kuiper belt also have their own moons .

Is our universe moving inside a black hole ?

  A s we know the Big bang happened 13 billion years ago. Because of Big bang everything came into existence that we know everything and all that remains to be known .The scientists has different theories on whether the big bang happened or not, but now it has been completed proven that there was a big bang .But some scientists believe that their entire universe is moving inside a black hole .There is a reason for them to believe so, which may be true. Because we still don’t know what exactly happens inside a black hole .Or whatever goes inside the black hole, where does it end up. But we know how black hole is formed .scientists believe that their entire universe could be inside one black hole , Because there are many similarities between the big   bang and a black hole . Just like when the big bang happened, the whole universe was contained in one small Atom. Which is also called singularity .Similarly, when a star becomes a black hole, it also collapses in its own gravity until
