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.
