Trans Neptunian Object (TNO) is a minor planet or dwarf planet in the Solar System.These are objects that orbit beyond the Sun’s orbit, Neptune.Their semimajor axis is located at an average distance of 30.1 Astronomincal Unit (AU) from the Sun. ● Located as the Classical, Resonant objects, and Scattered Disc of the Kuiper Belt.TNOs have…
On August 24, 2006, the IAU (International Astronomical Union) reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet. Pluto is a TRANS-NEPTUNIAN Object.Pluto is the second largest Trans-Neptunian object.
Is it enough for a planet to be in a habitable zone for life to exist? Any planet standing there would have to receive strong radiation from its parent star. It will eventually melt the planet’s atmosphere. (But the thick clouds on Venus reflect solar radiation, which is why they shine). The movement of molten…
Galaxies can be classified into three main types: elliptical, spiral, and irregular. Hubble’s morphological classification is a more detailed taxonomic method. Since the Hubble method classifies galaxies only on the basis of shape, it ignores the rate of star formation in Starburst galaxies and the number of active galaxies. Elliptical. (Elliptical galaxy) The Hubble taxonomy…
Astronomers studying celestial objects such as planets have revealed eight classifications based on mass systems. Billions of objects have been discovered in space, and astronomers make such discoveries every year. Planets are some of the most common celestial objects, and the most studied. Astronomers have come up with various classifications used to classify the planets….
For centuries, people have looked up at the night sky and wondered about what they see and beyond. Over time, with the development of the study of space and astronomy, scientists slowly began to answer these questions, naming different objects in space and predicting certain astronomical events. For those unfamiliar with the study of astronomy,…
We’re talking about an experiment with a cat by a scientist named Erwin Schrdinger. Geiger places a cat in a steel box with a counter, a container of poison, a hammer, and a radioactive object. The cat ends up on the spot. Radioactive tuberculosis is a random process and there is no way to predict…
Satellites are launched into space to perform a specific mission, and are specially designed to perform the required function. A satellite is a man-made object that is placed in orbit to fulfill a specific mission. Also known as man-made artificial satellites, they are different from natural moons, such as the moon. Different moons are classified…
Two years ago, on April 20, 2019, scientists received a unique radio signal from Alpha Centauri, 4 light years away from us. After much study, scientists arrived on December 20, 2020, concluding that it was more likely to be an alien signal. There are many valid reasons to come to such a conclusion. One of…
It is a galaxy held in place by the gravitational pull of many celestial objects and bodies, including stars, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids. The universe is made up of billions of galaxies. Earth is a small planet in a galaxy known as the Milky Way galaxy, and is just one of billions of galaxies…
