The first exoplanet we discovered in transit was OGLE-56-b, discovered in 2002. Located 5,000 light-years away from its parent star, this hot Jupiter (because it is a gas giant like Jupiter) is larger than our own Jupiter. Iron precipitation is thought to occur here at a temperature of 1726 degrees Celsius that creates affinity for…
Enceladus is Saturn’s sixth largest moon, only one-seventh the diameter of our Moon. Perhaps the mysterious sphere in the solar system where extraterrestrial life is most likely! In 1789, British astronomer William Herschel was the first to discover Enceladus, one of Saturn’s inner moons. This discovery was made with the 47 inch telescope he built….
Yes, James Webb has copied these rings pretty cleanly.
If you line up about 108 moons from Earth, the average distance to the moon is. Similarly, if 108 suns are placed in a row from the earth, then the average distance from the earth to the sun is. The diameter of the sun is equal to 108 earths.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. About 1325 Earths can fit on Jupiter very easily. Suppose you decided to land on Jupiter to learn more about the mysterious planet Jupiter. What will happen? Jupiter is a gas giant with no ‘soil’ to trample on. Will you go straight down there? What do…
where he would be destroyed by the force that surrounds the huge planet, photographing the planet for the last time in the month of September 2017, being attracted by its incredible force. The following year of the month of September, commemoration of an artist with an illustration, timed until the end of the mission, with…
Space agencies are now discovering alien worlds at an astonishing rate. In fact, NASA’s planetary mission discovered 5,000 alien worlds in four years. The US Space Agency’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Exoplanet Hunter is making significant progress in this regard. Currently, thousands of exoplanets or aliens are being studied based on the signals that…
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…
Discovery of a ‘glass (silicate) rain’ planet 63 light years away from Earth. As a result of the rain, the planet appears dark blue. The distant planet known as HD 189733b has been identified as blue. The blue color of the planet is due to the scattering of light by silicate rain in the planet’s…
