What Makes Vega Star Special ? Earth's North Star In The Future.

Image
  Vega Lyra is the brightest star in the Constellation Lyra . It has the title of the alpha Lyra in the Constellation Lyra. It exists 25 light years away from us. Vega has always been a topic of discussion in astronomers. Today we will discuss it. If we talk about its name then it comes from, Arabic word. In Arabic, it is called “ waqi ” it means falling. Vega is presently the Fifth brightest star in the night. Vega is associated with the name Abhijit in Hindu culture .it is the brightest star in the north celestial hemisphere . You can easily see the Lyra constellation in the night sky. Today Polaris is our North Star it does not change its position when its sees the earth. This is because the earth rotation axis is completely tilted towards the Polaris. At the moment Polaris is our northern star, the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor . But in 3000 B.C. The earth’s North Star was Vega and after 13000 years Vega will become our North Star again. There are seve...

Can There Be Life In The Depths Of Titan Moon ?

Image
  There are more than 250 moons in our solar system . All planets except mercury and Venus have their own moons. Jupiter and Saturn have the largest number of moon on any other planets in our solar system. Jupiter   has about 79 moons and Saturn has 82 moons. Of   Saturn ’s 82 moons, Titan has been the subject of much discussion since its discovery. Titan is the second largest moon in our solar system after  Ganymede .  Image source-google| image by Kelvinsong Titan is the largest moon of Saturn moon. On Saturn and it is the most special natural satellite in the solar system . What makes it so special is its dense atmosphere and finding solid evidence of the existence of vast oceans and rivers on it. Hence, it also called planet like moon. Titan is larger than our Earth’s moon and is about 78% more massive than our moon. WHO DISCOVER TITAN FIRST On March 25, 1655 Dutch astronomers Christian Huygens first discovered Saturn’s largest moon Titan. Christian Huygens...

10 Unique Fun Facts About Light Particles.

Image
1.  Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. Which the humans eye can easily see. Light, particles and wave can be occur simultaneously in nature. Whatever natural light we see that makes us see everything we get from our sun. There are many types of light for example: Infrared Light, x-rays light, Gamma rays, Ultraviolet light. 2.  The speed of light in highest in space or vacuum. Because these light particles are completely massless. Unlike all other particles, these particles do not interact with the Higgs Field at all. So they travel in space at the speed of 2.99792 km/PS. Because massless particles can travel in space at the same speed. 3.  Infrared Light was discovered by William Herschel. In infrared light infra means ‘below’ in Latin. Because it is below red spectrum of light. This light is invisible, we cannot see it with our naked eyes. We just feel the heat of it.  The difference in light is due to the wavelength. With difference light we can...

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 ...

How Big Our Solar System Is In The Universe ?

Image
 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...

Is our universe moving inside a black hole ?

Image
  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 grav...
