NASA Shares Stunning Image Of Deception Island, Active Volcano in Antarctic Peninsula

Surprising images of the universe are often shared by the American space agency NASA. These are very important for gaining information about space. However, this time NASA has shared a surprising image of Deception Island located on the Antarctic Peninsula.

It is the only place in the world where ships can sail directly into an active volcano. NASA has written in the caption of this image shared on Instagram, “Satellite image of Deception Island surrounded by blue waters of the ocean. There are rocks and mountains on this island and there is white snow on some of the peaks. The ship flew directly from a location below it. Can go to the center of the island.” in this image Volcano The upper part of is visible. This image was captured a few years ago. Deception Island is one of two active volcanoes in the Antarctic. More than 20 explosions have occurred in it since the 19th century.

Although this place is very deserted, it is quite popular among tourists in Antarctica. More than 15,000 tourists visit this place every year. The island was also used for whale and seal hunting during World War II. There are also some scientific research stations on Deception Island. However, some of these have been destroyed due to volcanic eruptions.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured the image of the most distant star in the universe. It is called ‘Earendel’. It existed for the first billion years after the Big Bang. The James Webb Telescope has shown it to be a very large B-type star. It is more than twice as hot as our Sun and about 1 million times brighter. According to NASA, Earendel, located in the Sunrise Arc Galaxy, was only discovered thanks to the combined force of technology and nature through an effect called gravitational lensing. The James Webb telescope has also been able to see other details in Earendel’s host galaxy Sunrise Arc. It is the largest galaxy identified in the first billion years of the universe. It contains both new and old star forming regions.
