The main attraction of comets is their shiny long tail. Most of a comet will be frozen ice. This frozen part, about a kilometer in size, is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains ice, dust, and frozen gases. As the comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice to evaporate directly. At the same…
South Africa has the largest radio telescope in the world. The 64D radio radio telescope was commissioned in 2018 after completing construction on Cornwall, the northern tip of South Africa. The project is called the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). It’s not. The telescope is set up for partial operations. It will have to wait until…
The Greenbank Telescope is one of the largest radio telescopes in the world that can be fully rotated. The telescope is located on the Greenbank in West Virginia. Construction began in 1991 and was completed on August 22, 2000. The diameter of the dish is 100 meters. The collecting area of the telescope is 7854…

The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere around Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. It has been found that vapor is formed as the ice sheets change from…
This is an excellent example of international cooperation in the field of scientific research. The station is maintained by five NASA-led space agencies. In addition to NASA in the United States, JAXA in Japan, Roscosmos in Russia, and CSA in Canada, the European Space Agency (ESA). The space exploration scene, which was once in the…
When the Earth takes 24 hours to rotate once, the white dwarf star LAMOST J0240 + 1952 rotates once in just * 25 seconds *. At a distance of 2,000 light-years, once every 25 seconds, LAMOST J0240 + 1952 became the fastest dwarf star in existence. This speed is due to its attraction to another…
Olympus Mons is the largest known volcano in the Solar System. Its height is 22– 25 km. More than two and a half times our Mount Everest. But beyond the height, the mountain is located over a large area. 3 lakh square kilometers. Scientists disagree that Olympus Mons has been inactive for some time.The image…
With dreams of space exploration in mind and dreams of going to Mars on the other hand, Musk set out in search of a rocket for the launch. The European Space Agency’s rocket price was unaffordable. That’s when the Russians learned that they were selling three intercontinental ballistic missiles (refurbished ICBM), three of which cost…
Anti-matter is an object that is as real as the ordinary matter that has made us all. Do not go to distant planets or galaxies to find the antimatter. It is with us. It is within us It is estimated that each of our bodies produces about 4000 antimatter particles every day. Similarly, PET scan…
