Our Solar System

Image
One fine day, I asked my friend about the largest moon of Jupiter checking whether he could answer the question. Surprisingly, he didn’t know (which by the way is Ganymede). I asked him about the boundary of our solar system, but he couldn’t answer that question too. So today you guys are going to read a blog on Our Solar System. Most of the people in our world know that there are 8 planets, 1 star and a few miscellaneous space debris in our solar system. Well that is right but that is not all of our solar system. So let’s discuss everything about our solar system step by step. 1.        Sun – Our parent star in our solar system’s name is the Sun. It is 1.39 million km in diameter.   About 1.3 million earths could fit in the sun. It is approximately 5 billion years old. It is 333,000 times heavier than the Earth. The surface temperature of the sun is 6000 o C. The sun is powered by a process called nuclear fusion. When the sun was born, it was mainly Hydrogen with traces of other el

Wormholes

Wormholes, what are they? When you hear such a word, you see a worm creating a hole in an apple. Well today’s blog is different. Wormholes are hypothetical portals linking two points in space time. Won’t it be so exciting to see one and go through one? Yes, it would. Lets explore them. Currently they only exist on paper. But for the future, we have white listed three types. In the end I will also explain about a wormhole designed by me. The three types are – 1.        Einstein – Rosen bridges – Einstein Rosen Bridges are basically portals. It is believed that these types of wormholes were basically black holes opening into white holes . Oh sorry, we have not discussed white holes. A white hole is another powerful object in our universe which does the opposite of a black hole. Instead of eating stuff, it spews energy. Now back to topic, these wormholes open into another planet, Galaxy or even a Universe. Now that is a flaw. Trying to go through one would take many years and we woul

Black Holes. From Life to Death

In the previous articles we have discussed about, interstellar travel, Dyson spheres and the Kardashev scale. Have you ever imagined what black holes are? Black Holes are basically super gravity vortexes formed after the death of a big star at least 8 times the mass of the Sun. Black holes are the most powerful objects in the whole universe. They have a ground breaking gravity of the speed of light. They can devour literally anything. A black hole is made up of 2 parts. The event horizon and the singularity. The event horizon is the part of the black hole which devours everything. The singularity is where all the devoured material goes to. The black hole has an interesting gravity. The gravity it applies on the side of the object facing it is a million times the gravity applied on the opposite side. The largest black hole in the universe is TON – 618. It has a diameter of 390 Billion Kilometres which is 1/3 rd of a light year. Black holes are so strong that they don’t even let light e
