The universe as we call it, is more than 13.5 billion years old and yet we only know little about our universe. The universe is filled with wonders, amazing things, like birth of stars, blackholes, Death of a star and so many things. The universe is so mysterious and it still the home to our milky way galaxy which is the only galaxy that is believe to contain life.
Well today I will be writing about some wonderful views and places in the universe;
1.The pillars of creations;
7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens, lies a nebula called the Eagle nebula and within these nebula we can find the pillar of creations. The pillars of creations are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.
The blue colors in the image above represent oxygen, red is sulfur, while the green represents both nitrogen and hydrogen. The pillar of creation are bathed in the scorching ultraviolet light from a cluster of young stars located just outside the frame. The winds from these stars are slowly eroding the towers of gas and dust.
The pillar of creation is so beautiful when viewed from the Hubble telescope, but since the images we only get of stars are thier old images, so it is believed that the pillar of creation might have already been destroyed 6000yrs ago and we are only getting old images of the pillar of creation, astronomers believe that before the real image of the destruction of pillar of creation get to us it might take another 1000yrs.
2.A star within a star;
I know most of us must be surprised that how can a star be inside another star. Well the universe as we know it is filled with many wonders that defy normal minds, A star within a star formed when a red super giant star swallows a neutron stars.
Well these does not occur occasionally it only occurs in special cases, example might be in a binary system of stars. A giant star might collide with a wandering star in the process swallowing up the star, when these can take up to 100yrs, due to the gravitational battle btw the giant stars and the neutron star.
3.Blackhole
We all should be family with what is a blackhole since it has become a common phrase in most western country, movies have been acted to explain how a blackhole work. Well blackhole are product of Einstein field theory of gravitation.
A blackhole is defined as a region of space and time where gravitational force is so strong that it can pull anything not even light can escape from it.
A blackhole is so strange that our current laws of physics break down. It is believe that in a blackhole there is a region called the event horizon where most event in a blackhole occur and also there are millions of blackhole out there in our universe, and astronomers believe that at the center of our milky way galaxy lies a giant Blackhole.
4.Neutron stars;
Yes I know u might surprise, but actually thier is a star called neutron star.
I neutron star is formed when a giant star collapse, it has a very strong magnetic fields and gravitational field, it is believed that if life had existed on a neutron star it would have been in 2-dimensions, the gravitational force of a neutron star is so strong that, if a neutron star should enter our solar system it would wreck havoc by throwing planets out of thier orbit. And the magnetic field of a neutron star is MILLIONS of times stronger than that of earth, so a neutron start coming close to the earth will destroy life on Earth and could possibly be the end of our civilizations. We for now the earth is save because no neutron start seems to be close by to the earth.
Well these are some Amazing things that can be found in our universe. Feel free to ask questions in the comment section
Stay tuned as we explore more!!!!
The space is such a fascinating creation and it is very scary to think that we are alone in such a huge universe
