According to NASA, more than 7 lakh 30 thousand asteroids have been discovered so far, out of which 16000 asteroids are present in…
The solar system is said to be 4.6 billion years old. The formation of the solar system is not yet known accurately. Only theories have been presented about this. It is said that the Solar System may have originated from an explosion inside a large gas cloud, also called a nebula. Whereas the universe is…
Asteroids in space exist as a threat to the Earth. However, till now very few such incidents have come to light in which it has been found that asteroid has caused devastation on the Earth. But millions of years ago, the extinction of giant creatures like dinosaurs is also believed to be due to the…
To explore the space deeply, with the help of modern science, man has prepared such instruments which can see far into it. If we talk about our own solar system, or solar system, it is present in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is also said to have 4 circular parts, out of…
Asteroids are those rocks rotating in space which can pose a big threat to the Earth at any time. These have been revolving around the Sun since the time of its formation, bound by the Sun’s gravity. They are different from planets and meteorites but their structure is similar to planets, because they are made…
Modern science has extended the scope of human vision beyond our solar system by making huge telescopes. The solar system is present in the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is also said to have 4 circular parts, out of which our solar system is continuously revolving around the galaxy in the outermost circle….
There is no end to the depth of space, but space scientists are now able to see much further into it. So many astronomical events keep happening in our solar system that many times even scientists are surprised. Solar system is also called planetary system which is revolving around the Milky Way galaxy. There are…
NASA’s Asteroid Alert warns about rocky fragments coming close to Earth. These days, asteroid alerts are being issued by the space agency almost every day. These rock fragments continue to pass near the earth. In such a situation, asteroids have become a subject of interest for people interested in astronomical activities including space scientists. There…
Asteroids rotating in space are those rocky pieces which are constantly hovering around the Earth. Asteroids revolve around the Sun, but their orbit often intersects the Earth’s orbit very closely. That is, the asteroids rotate and reach a point where the Earth’s orbit and the asteroid’s orbit pass so close to each other that there…
The solar system is said to have been born 4.6 billion years ago. According to space scientists, the solar system is made of a large gas cloud (nebula). The explosion scattered many celestial bodies in space, out of which planets, satellites, asteroids etc. were formed. Scientists say that asteroids are unique in themselves. The history…
