Neutron Stars

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Neutron stars are one of the most violent things in the Universe. They are very dense and have a very small diameter (probably about 20-30 kilometres). They are formed by the death of a star that is more massive than our Sun. 

       Stars mainly consist of Hydrogen atoms. Due to immense pressure, the atoms are fused into Helium and further heavier elements. If the star is massive enough, it goes under a Supernova explosion and a Neutron Star is formed which is highly dense(mass of millions of Earths), very small (smaller than our moon) and extremely hot( hotter than our Sun). This comparison must have given you an idea of the Neutron Stars. Neutron Stars and Black Holes are very closely related. You would learn more about Black holes in the next post.

The Unimaginable Universe

    The Unimaginable Universe “Without imperfection, you or I would not exist.”                                                   – Stephen Hawking      "The Universe" is just like its name, its unique and "maybe" one of its kind. It's filled with stellar systems, star clusters, nebulae, planets, asteroids, comets, galaxies and what not..! There are some jaw-dropping facts about the Universe. For instance, when you are looking at the Sirius star, you are technically looking into the past because Sirius is a star which is 8.6 light-years away from Earth, it means that it takes 8.6 years for the light to travel from Sirius to Earth. So when you see the Sirius tonight you will be looking at the light which started its journey 8.6 years ago. Also, it takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for the sunlight to reach on Earth! Isn't that interesti...

Black Holes

                                         BLACK HOLES            The True Laboratory is the mind, where behind illusions we uncover the laws of truth                                                                                -J. C. Bose Black holes are one of the most interesting things in the universe. They have a very strong gravitational pull, so strong that even light cannot escape from it! This made it harder for scientists to capture the image. The "First image of a black hole" you see is a combined data from 8 different telescopes across the world!  How are the Black Holes formed? Stars are mostly made up of hydrogen atoms. In the core,...
