The Hubble Space Telescope Brings Us The Universe

The Hubble Space Telescope has been circling around the Earth and owes its name to Edwin Hubble who made the disclosure of worlds that lay external the Milky Way just as for his formation of Hubble's Law that determined the rate at which the universe is getting greater. The Hubble Space Telescope can send sharp optical pictures of exceptionally far-off objects and has, since being sent off in 1990, become stargazing's most significant instrument.

The Hubble Space Telescope has given man the absolute most noteworthy perceptions and assisted cosmologists with appreciating the crucial issues upsetting astrophysicists. It is capable; on account of its, Ultra Deep Field gives the most touchy galactic optical pictures that have so far been taken by humankind.


Many Ground-Breaking Discoveries

In the twenty-odd long periods of its presence, it has ended up being an important guide in the investigation of space and has uncovered numerous secrets, however, its life is reaching a conclusion and with bombing spinners, it may not endure longer than 2007, and in the event that another disappointment is to occur, it will lose its capacity to point and accordingly become unusable.


It requires supplanting with the assistance of a monitored administration mission and needs a re-lift to expand the measurement of its circle so it doesn't return the Earth's climate, because of drag. With legitimate overhauling, the Hubble Space Telescope will actually want to work until 2013 by which time another replacement will have been sent off.


The Hubble Space Telescope has been (plainly) instrumental in settling some of cosmology's long-standing issues and has likewise given outcomes that have led to new hypotheses to clarify them. One of its essential targets was to gauge distances to Cepheid variable stars in a way that was more precise than any other time in recent memory, and accordingly oblige the worth of the Hubble steady.


The Hubble Space Telescope assisted with bettering the appraisals of the Hubble consistently to diminish mistakes from 50% and bring such blunders down to a pitiful ten percent. What's more, it has likewise assisted with refining the age of the universe while additionally projecting questions on the life span of the universe.


The Hubble Space Telescope has additionally had the option to give pictures of the crash of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in 1994, and other significant disclosures remember proto-planetary circles for the Orion Nebula, evidence for the rate of extra-sunlight based planets just as the optical partners of unexplained gamma-beam explodes.

Classification Of Stars

You all must have seen the stars in the sky every night, some bigger, some a little smaller, some twinkling, some are not. Some yellow in color, some in white, and some in red. And you must have tried to count them many times too, but you never succeed because the number is too big to be counted on fingers. According to European Space Agency (ESA), there are approximately 1,000 billion billion stars (10^24) in the universe. The number will undoubtedly increase as humans become accustomed to technology and explore deep space. And the fact that our universe is continuously expanding, speaks to this point in a more convincing way. Hubble Sky Full of Stars (Image: NASA/Hubble) So have you ever wondered, how scientist deals with all these stars in this amazing universe, which are infinite in number? Is there any method to classify these stars? The answer is Yes !!  And what would be your reaction if you get to know that the enormously large number of stars are all classified into j...

Parsec In Astronomy

In our previous article, we have discussed the three major cosmic distance scales which are Astronomical Unit (AU), Light Year (LY), and Parsec (Pc), and their significance in astronomy. You came to know how these units ease up our process of studying and understanding this Amazing Universe. In this article, we will solely discuss one of these units which is Parsec. By the end of this article, you will be able to understand its derivation, definition, significance, and how the small difference between light year and parsec creates a huge difference in the world of astronomy.  An artist’s impression of 14 galaxies that are in the process of merging.(NRAO/AUI/NSF; S. Dagnello) So before we proceed, let's have a brief overview of all these units. Astronomical Unit  i.e. AU, is the distance from the center of the Sun to a point at which a particle of almost negligible mass revolves in a stationary orbit with an orbital period of 365.2568983 days (One Gauss...

Shedding Light on the Solar Neutrino Problem

The Sun, our beloved star, has fascinated humanity for centuries. Its radiance illuminates our world, providing us with warmth, energy, and the essence of life itself. However, beyond its shining exterior, the Sun holds secrets that have puzzled scientists for decades. One such enigma is the Solar Neutrino Problem. In this article, we delve into the depths of this intriguing puzzle, exploring the nature of neutrinos, the role they play in the Sun, and the scientific quest to unravel their mysteries. Understanding the Neutrino To comprehend the Solar Neutrino Problem, we must first grasp the elusive nature of neutrinos. Neutrinos are elementary particles that belong to the Lepton family, along with electrons and their heavier cousins, muons, and taus. Unlike their charged lepton counterparts, neutrinos are electrically neutral, making them incredibly difficult to detect. These ghostly particles interact with matter through only the weak nuclear force and gravity. This weak interaction r...
