Earth Will Dead in 2.8 Billion Years





The biological and geological future of the Earth can be extrapolated based upon the estimated effects of several long-term influences. These include the chemistry at the Earth's surface, the rate of cooling of the planet's interior, the gravitational interactions with other objects in the Solar System, and a steady increase in the Sun's luminosity.

Cassini space probe will see Saturn eclipse the sun on July 19



It discus about NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, now orbiting Saturn and weaving in and among its moons, will be aligned in such a way that Saturn will eclipse the sun as seen from the spacecraft. This simulated view from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft shows the expected positions of Saturn and Earth on July 19, 2013, around the time Cassini will take Earth’s picture. Cassini will be about 898 million miles (1.44 billion kilometers) away from Earth at the time. That distance is nearly 10 times the distance from the sun to Earth. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

X-Ray in Astronomy



Astronomers study light from all across the electromagnetic spectrum to piece together the story of the universe.  X-ray astronomy looks at high energy, short wavelength light – over 40 times smaller than the shortest wavelength our eyes can detect.  This light, emitted by gas heated to millions of degrees, provides a glimpse into extreme environments like black holes, neutron stars, and colliding galaxies.

Closest Moon in 2013



Do you know what is Supermoon? Ya, I think you all know about this one. Supermoon is a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90% of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. Earth, moon and sun are all in a line, with moon in its nearest approach to Earth. In 22-23 June 2013 is the closest moon with Earth for all of 2013. If you saw this supermoon last week, you would be amazed for what you see. The moon was so beautiful and looked so close.

NASA TELESCOPE



This is the new telescope in the universe. The large, new astronomical telescope, Atacama Large Millimeter Array, ALMA consists of 66 radio telescopes and is the largest and most ambitious ground-based telescope to date. It has just been completed in Chile and is now beginning observations. Although they are called radio telescopes it does not mean that they listen for sound – they observe radio waves, which are long wavelength electromagnetic radiation. That is to say light which is outside the visible spectrum. Long wavelength radiation is important in order to observe particular phenomena in the universe.

Unknown Facts about Mars



Do you know Mars? Ya, It’s a planet, one of planet in our solar system. Everyone knows about this planet generally. For the example, everyone knows Mars as Red Planet, right? Or they know that Mars is the fourth closest planet to the sun. They don’t know more specific about Mars. In this article, I will talk about some facts about mars that you don’t know before. You will get new information. Check this out guys.

Quasars



Quasars is a very energetic and distant active galactic nucleus. These mysterious starlike objects shine from the outermost limits of the universe, helping scientists learn about the earliest stages of existence. We’ve since learned that a quasar is actually a black hole at the center of a huge, distant galaxy. Perhaps more interesting, quasars give off 1,000 times more energy than the entire Milky Way galaxy.

Black Hole



Do you know what is Black Hole Exactly ? Black Hole a region of space time from which gravity prevents anything, including light, from escaping. The hole is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics. Considering the exotic nature of black holes, it may be natural to question if such bizarre objects could exist in nature or to suggest that they are merely pathological solutions to Einstein's equations.

A New Planet Looks Like Our Earth



In October 2012, European astronomers found new planet that look like our Earth. It is the type of planet they've been searching for across the Milky Way galaxy and they found it circling a star right next door – 25 trillion miles away. This planet has no name yet. The astronomers said that you can see this planet in the night sky without telescope.

Tyche Planet

Here I'll talk about the new planet called Tyche by scientists.
like of my mind, I'm sure you also want to know about Tyche. Is there Tyche in the universe?
First proposed in 1999 by astrophysicists John Matese, Patrick Whitman and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette about Tyche. The main reason the scientists who hypothesized Tyche think it may exist is because of a slight bias in the origin of comets from a region of the outer solar system. They hypothesize that this potential gas giant planet is perturbing a portion of the Oort cloud, causing this bias in the population of comets.

After 162 Years Inactivity, Alert Level Raise



This is a bad new come from Garut. Do you know Mount Guntur ? this is one of volcano in Indonesia, exactly this mount located in Garut. After 162 years there is no activity from this mountain, Garut Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) chief Zat Zat Munazat alert level was raised to waspada (caution) or level 2 from normal or level 1.

Biggest Planet in Milky Way Galaxy



Do you know what is Jupiter ? Ya, Jupiter is a planet too in our solar system. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the center of our solar system, Sun. The size of this planet is the biggest one in our solar system, two times mass of the other planet. Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen with a quarter of its mass being helium, although helium only comprises about a tenth of the number of molecules.

Shooting Star




I think you all know about this one. Do you believe with “FALLING STAR” ? I will talk about this one. Falling stars are small, solid bodies that enter the Earth’s atmosphere as they travel through space.  These stars are commonly called meteors. Meteors can enter the our atmosphere with a velocity that ranges from ten to seventy km/sec.  Consequently, the friction that is created is great enough to cause the meteor to begin burning up which produces the light that we refer to as a falling star.

Milky Way Galaxy Neighbor



In this case, I will talk about our neighbors in the universe. In fact, not only Milky Way Galaxy in this universe. There are Andromeda Galaxy, Triangulum Galxy and etc. The Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, is the most distant object in the sky that you can see with your unaided eye — but only on a clear night from a location with a very dark sky. 

The Jewel of the Solar System



Do you know what is “The Jewel of the Solar System” ? Yes, The Jewel of the Solar System is one of planet in Galaxy Milky Way. Everyone know this planet as known as “SATURN”. I believe you all know this planet yet. Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system after JUPITER. Saturn has some interesting thing about itself. For the example, Saturn has seven rings, there are over 60 known moons on Saturn as Saturn satellite, etc.

MOON PHASES



A lunar phase or phase of the moon is the appearance of the illuminated (sunlit) portion of the Moon as seen by an observer, usually on Earth. The lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The half of the lunar surface facing the Sun is always sunlit, but the portion of this illuminated hemisphere that is visible to an observer on Earth can vary from about 100% (full moon) to 0% (new moon). The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and unilluminated hemispheres.

A Smallest Planet in Our Solar System



Newly discovered found a smallest planet in our solar system. This planet called Kepler-37b. The radius of this planet is less than third the size of Earth’s. Kepler-37b is “significantly smaller” than Mercury, which has officially been the smallest planet in our solar system since Pluto was demoted to a “dwarf planet” by the International Astronomical Union in 2006.

AURORA




An aurora (plural: aurorae or auroras; from the Latin word aurora, "sunrise") is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere. Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. Most aurorae occur in a band known as the auroral zone,[1][2] which is typically 3° to 6° in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic pole defined by the axis of the Earth's magnetic dipole. During a geomagnetic storm, the auroral zone expands to lower latitudes.

Lunar Eclipse



Lunar eclipse is sky events that is easy to observed. You just go out to see it, don’t need binoculars or a telescope or other special equipment to see it.
Lunar eclipse has no harmful effects when we see it with the naked eye, so you don’t need to use glasses.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full Moon lines up precisely with the Earth and the Sun, and the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon. Greek astronomers had figured that out over 2000 years ago, and knew that the curved shadow on the Moon indicated that the Earth was a sphere.

Sun Phenomena called as "SUNDOG"



From the title, I guess that you have some question about SUNDOG, exactly what is SUNDOG ? Why this phenomena happen ? What is the causes ? Right, this is my question too at first I read this article. I will tell you What Is SUNDOG. SUNDOG is one of phenomena that happen in our atmosphere that can make light shining through ice crystals in the cloud , much like light shining through raindrops makes a rainbow. A sundog on the right side of a halo around the sun.
