Space is infinite and it is not yet in the hands of humans to measure it. But in the last few years, space scientists have invented new generation telescopes with the help of which one can now reach millions of years away in space. Scientists have been saying that apart from planets and stars, there…
Asteroids or meteorites are such celestial bodies in our space about which we still know very little. Scientists are continuously studying them. These meteorites are also called minor planets, which continuously revolve around the Sun. Many times they come close to the Earth while rotating in their orbit. For the past several months, asteroids have…
Meteorites keep rotating in space continuously. Just as the planets of the solar system revolve around their star i.e. the Sun, in the same way these meteorites or asteroids also revolve around the Sun. But it is often seen that some small asteroids sometimes come close to a planet and come under the influence of…
Meteorites keep revolving in the solar system continuously. These are also called minor planets but sometimes they pose a big threat. Due to the gravity of larger planets, they start moving towards the planets and may even collide with them. Today NASA has issued an alert of a large asteroid coming towards the Earth. It…
Asteroids moving in space are continuously coming towards the Earth and passing close to it. These asteroids are also known as fragments left over during the formation of planets which continuously revolve around the Sun in their orbit. Many times they are seen as falling stars at night. But they are actually very small pieces…
These days, some astronomical event or the other is coming to light for the people interested in the world of space. Be it the eclipse of a planet or satellite, the fall of a meteorite on Earth or the coming of an asteroid close to the Earth. These days, asteroids are continuously coming towards the…
People interested in space events must have heard the name of the asteroid. Many times they are mistaken for meteorites or comets. But asteroids are different from these. Asteroids are made of minerals and rocks. They keep revolving continuously in the solar system. While revolving, they pass close to the planet at a certain time….
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 is continuously studying celestial bodies under space missions. Study of asteroids is also a mission in these missions of NASA. According to the space agency, the Earth was formed 4.5 billion years ago. But at the time of Earth’s formation, some rocks are said to have been scattered in the solar system, which have…
