Our Universe is so vast that we do not know the size of it till date The reason behind it is the fastest object doesn't reached earth yet from the edge of universe. The size of our Observable universe/diameter is 93.016 billion light years. And it increases every second, actually it doesn't, just light far away from this distance reaches our blue planet so that we get to know it's bigger and bigger and bigger.
Two star systems are called binary star
system. They orbit each other like they are made for each other.
A multiple star system consists
of three or more stars. Most of them are a triple star systems.
A binary system is simply one in
which two stars orbit around a common centre of mass
They are gravitationally bound to
each other
Actually most stars are in binary
systems. Perhaps up to 85% of stars are in binary systems with some in triple or even
higher-multiple systems.
Alpha Centauri is the closest star system and closest planetary system to the Solar System at 4.37 light-years from the Sun. It is a triple star system.
It is a triple star system, consisting of three stars: α Centauri A (officially Rigil Kentaurus), α Centauri B (officially Toliman), and α Centauri C (officially Proxima Centauri). Alpha Centauri A and B are Sun-like stars (Class G and K), and together they form the binary star Alpha Centauri AB. Alpha Centauri A has 1.1 times the mass and 1.519 times the luminosity of the Sun, while Alpha Centauri B is smaller and cooler, at 0.907 times the Sun's mass and 0.445 times its luminosity. The pair orbit around a common centre with an orbital period of 79.91 years Alpha Centauri C, or Proxima Centauri, is a small and faint red dwarf (Class M). Though not visible to the naked eye, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to the Sun at a distance of 4.24 light-years (1.30 pc), slightly closer than Alpha Centauri AB.
A Quasar is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, in which a supermassive black hole with mass ranging from millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun is surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk.
A Nebula a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova.
Neutron Stars are the collapsed core of a giant star which before collapse had a total mass of between 10 and 29 solar masses.Smallest and densest stars, excluding black holes, hypothetical white holes, quark stars and strange stars.
A rogue Planet is a planetary-mass object that orbits a galactic center directly. Such objects have been ejected from the planetary system in which they formed or have never been gravitationally bound to any star or brown dwarf.
Dark matteris a form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of its total energy density. Most dark matter is thought to be non-baryonic in nature, possibly being composed of some as-yet undiscovered subatomic particles.
The expansion of the universe is the increase of the distance between two distant parts of the universe with time. The "expected" expansion rate, by contrast, is about 41.9 miles (67.4 km) per second per megaparsec. And what if I tell You That this expansion is accelerating with time. The accelerating expansion of the universe is the observation that the expansion of the universe is such that the velocity at which a distant galaxy is receding from the observer is continuously increasing with time. Observations of the explosions of white dwarf stars in binary systems, so-called Type Ia supernovae, in the 1990s then led scientists to the conclusion that dark energy, made up 68% of the cosmos, and is responsible for driving an acceleration in the expansion of the universe.
occurs in binary systems in which one of the stars is a white dwarf. The other star can be anything from a giant star to an even smaller white dwarf.
A Type II supernova results from the rapid collapse and violent explosion of a massive star. A star must have at least 8 times mass of the sun
A hypernova (alternatively called a collapsar) is a very energetic supernova thought to result from an extreme core-collapse scenario.
A quasar is an extremely luminous active galactic nucleus, in which a supermassive black hole with mass ranging from millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun is surrounded by a gaseous accretion disk
A neutron star merger is a type of stellar collision. It occurs in a fashion similar to the rare brand of type Ia supernovae resulting from merging white dwarfs.
Gamma-ray bursts are extremely energetic explosions that have been observed in distant galaxies. They are the brightest electromagnetic events known to occur in the universe.
Binary black hole mergers would be one of the strongest known sources of gravitational waves in the Universe, and thus offer a good chance of directly detecting such waves.
Each of the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) has a strong magnetic field, a dense atmosphere and, as a result, its own aurora. The exact nature of these auroras is slightly different from Earth’s, since their atmospheres and magnetospheres are different. The colours, for example, depend on the gases in the planet’s atmosphere. But the fundamental idea behind the auroras is the same.
Not only are the auroras huge in size, they are also hundreds of times more energetic than auroras on Earth. And, unlike those on Earth, Jupiter has an additional source for its auroras. The strong magnetic field of the gas giant grabs charged particles from its surroundings.Io, known for its numerous and large volcanoes.
who doesn't want to see those beautiful northern green lights.Earth have a strong magnetic field, The sun creates solar winds because of te hottness of its core. Solar winds takes around 40 hours to reach Earth. When they do, they can cause the dramatic displays known as the aurora borealis.
Saturn's Auroras. Saturn was 810 million miles (1.3 billion kilometers) away when the Hubble Space Telescope took this ultraviolet image of the planet, revealing a vivid auroral display rising thousands of miles above the cloud tops over both of the planet's poles.
Orion is a prominent constellation located on the celestial equator and visible throughout the world. It is one of the most conspicuous and recognizable constellations in the night sky. It was named after Orion, a hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are the supergiants: blue-white Rigel and red Betelgeuse.
Scorpius is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Its name is Latin for scorpion, and its symbol is. Scorpius is one of the 48 constellations identified by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the second century. It is an ancient constellation that pre-dated the Greek
Cygnus is a northern constellation lying on the plane of the Milky Way, deriving its name from the Latinized Greek word for swan. Cygnus is one of the most recognizable constellations of the northern summer and autumn, and it features a prominent asterism known as the Northern Cross.
Centaurus is a bright constellation in the southern sky. One of the largest constellations, Centaurus was included among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations
Cetus is a constellation. Its name refers to Cetus, a sea monster in Greek mythology as both Perseus and Heracles needed to slay, sometimes in English called 'the whale'. Cetus is in the region of the sky that contains other water-related constellations such as Aquarius, Pisces, and Eridanus.
Aquila is a constellation on the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for 'eagle' and it represents the bird that carried Zeus/Jupiter's thunderbolts in Greek-Roman mythology. Its brightest star, Altair, is one vertex of the Summer Triangle asterism.
4 billion years from now, our galaxy, the milky way, will collide with our large spiraled neighbour, Andromeda.
Currently, Andromeda and Milky Way are about 2.5 miilion light-years apart.
Fueled by gravity, the two galaxies are hurtling toward one another at 402,000 kilometers per hour.
But even at that speed, they won't meet for another 4 billions years.
Then the two galaxies will collide head-on fly though one another, leaving gassy, starry tendrils in their wakes.
For eons, the pair will continue to come together and fly apart.
