Scientist's may just have found out the first 'exomoon' ! Neptune sized world may be orbiting a gas giant Scientists may have found the first exomoon orbiting a planet named kepler 1625 - b. The feat has been achieved by two Columbian University astronomerd Alex Teachey and David Kipping. The Moon has been estimated to be the size of Neptune, orbiting a planet as of the size of Jupiter but much more massive. This discovery is important in terms of our understandings of other worlds outside of our Solar System. Astronomers believe to be found out the first exomoon or moon orbiting an alien planet, 8,000 light years away. Alex Teachey, an astronomer from the Columbia University at New York along with David Kipping , another Columbia University astronomer have been able to pull up this feat with the help of the Kepler and The Hubble Telescope. We've tried our best to rule out other possibilities such as spacecraft anomalies, other planets in the system or

A Full Documentary : The Solar System Explained The solar system is around 8 billion years old and the sun is about 5 billion years old. The Solar System comprises of 8 Planets, 5 + 1 new ( Goblin Planet ) Dwarf planets, 173 Natural Satellites and other small bodies like asteroids, comets, meteorides. Previously Our Solar system was thought to comprise of 9 planets, until Pluto was removed from the status of a planet to a Dwarf Planet in the year 1996. But according to various Space agencies and Scott shepard , a cosmologist activities in the Transneptune zone are probably indicating the presence of a planet Nine. Planet Nine is thought to be a super Earth, having masses of about 10 Earths. SUN  The Sun is a yellow type star which burns hydrogen at its core to form helium, in order to produce heat and light. Sun is the primary and the only star supporting the Solar System . It is the most important part of the Solar System, as it sits at the centre with plan

Nasa's Voyager 2 may be ready to set another record by reaching Interstellar space soon ! Currently the Voyager 2 probe is in the outermost layer of the Heliosheath " Heliopause ". And is nearing an exit from our Solar System , as soon it does so it will become the second man made object to leave the solar system and reach interstellar space. Image souce - Nasa/Jpl After successfull voyages to desired destinations of Saturn , Jupiter , Neptune and all their artificial satellites, The Voyagers (1&2) were sent on to two different paths to exit the Solar System into Interstellar space. Voyager 1 was the first to cross the Solar System's outer zone what we call Heliosheath in the year 2012 and registered itself in Human records being the first man made object to reach interstellar space. Currently Voyager 1 is the farthest man made object in space, and is about 11.7 billion miles (18.8 billion kms) away from Earth, travelling at speeds of 61,000 km/hr

Short story : Types of Stars Life cycle of a star. A star has a lot of phases In its life cycle. Stars are the ultimate visibility factor we have in space. Without stars  the Universe would completely shred off to darkness. Stars are huge balls of burning gases, producing light and heat for billions of years. The fuel required for this bohemoth process comes from nuclear fussion , in this process the most common element found in the Universe Hydrogen is continously converted into Helium, which in turn produces energy in the form of heat and light. But do all the stars in the Universe are of the same type ? Not exactly, on the basis of our understandings of the Universe, Stars may be the most diverse things possible present. From tiny brown dwarfs to red and blue supergiants. There are even more bizzare stars such as neutron stars and Wolf - Rayet stars . So let's see the different types of stars. SUN  Our Star The Sun is a yellow dwarf Star type, currently i

A new Planet named "Goblin" found in the outer fringes of the solar system. A brand new object has been found in the transneptune region of the Solar System named "The Goblin Planet". The discovery of this dwarf planet has led to consolidation on the presence of Planet Nine hypothesis. A new dwarf planet has been discovered in the outer fringes of the Solar System. Scientists and astronomers believe it as an golden find, because it solves out their theory of " Planet X " to be present in our Solar System stronger. Various astronomers and cosmologists believe the presence of a super Earth planet beyond Pluto . The dwarf planets official name is 2015 TG387 . It was discovered three years ago by a team of astronomers and researchers with the help of a special Subaru telescope in Hawaii. Scott Sheppard is the leading guy in this research, according to him These distant objects are like breadcrumbs leading us to Planet X, Sheppard along wit

The  Exoplanets  Article  of Your Dreams Exoplanets could be the answers to the questions where could be life Except Earth ? Since the evolution of Space, there has been a long thought over, if there are planets outside the Solar System. Everybody was quite certain about their presence but no certain proofs were availaible to justify the theory until 1988. Actually the first Exoplanet was observed in the year 1917, but due to its uncertainity it was ruled out afterwards. As of october 2018, 3851 confirmed exoplanets in 2871 systems have been found, of which 636 systems are thought to be orbited by more than one planet.  How did we came upon the first exoplanet ? Kepler Telescope from Nasa Was launched in March 7, 2009 To study and discover Exoplanets. The first exoplanet was discovered in the year 1988, but the confirmed discovery came in the year 1992 when a planet was found beside a Pulsar . The pulsar named  PSR B1257+12 . This discovery was quite astoni
