THE UNICORN : CLOSEST BLACK HOLE TO EARTH

The black hole absorbing light

Firstly we need to know about black holes. Black hole are those holes which formed when two stars collapse each other when they live it’s complete life. Only black hole have capacity to absorb light completely without emitting any particle of light. They are small in size as compared to stars but having mass greater than star and also having higher density than a star.

THE UNICORN : CLOSEST BLACK HOLE TO EARTH 


Sir Tharindu Jayasinghe a doctoral student in astronomy at Ohio state found the closest black hole to the earth. It have nickname “THE UNICORN”.  The Unicorn is located about 1500 light years from Earth. This may be the smallest known black hole in ‘The Milky Way Galaxy’ and closest to our solar system. The mass of this black hole is 3 solar masses. This black hole is located right next to red giant star called V723 Mon in the constellation of Monoceros. Speed of Unicorn is approx. 1100,000 mph about 230 million light years from Earth. This is not dangerous for earth. Scientist believe that it would not reach to Earth due to the distance between black hole and earth.

Gaganyaan Mission: India’s Historic Leap into Human Spaceflight

  Introduction India is on the brink of making history with its ambitious Gaganyaan Mission , a landmark project by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) . This mission aims to send Indian astronauts, also known as Gagannauts , into space, making India the fourth nation in the world to achieve human spaceflight, after Russia, the USA, and China. Gaganyaan is more than just a space mission; it is a symbol of India's technological advancement and growing prowess in space exploration. Gaganyaan Mission Mission Overview The Gaganyaan program involves a series of test flights leading up to the final crewed mission , which will carry three astronauts into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at an altitude of 400 km for three days before returning safely to Earth. The spacecraft will be launched aboard ISRO’s GSLV Mk III (now known as LVM3) , a powerful rocket developed specifically for heavy-lift missions. Objectives of Gaganyaan Demonstrate India's human spaceflight capability by suc...

About James Webb Space Telescope

JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE  JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE Firstly we need to know about the space telescope. It is a telescope which is placed in outer space and used to observe astronomical objects. And also used to study different types of light phenomenon like Aurora lights and to study hottest and most explosive object. Currently, NASA had launched a space telescope named as JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE [JWST] . It was made by international collaboration among NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency. It works as a replacement of Hubble Space Telescope. JWST was launched on 25 December 2021 on Arian Flight VA256. Firstly it was named as Next Generation Space Telescope and after some time name change to James Webb Space Telescope. There are some properties of JWST are Mass- 6161.4kg , Dimensions- 20.197m×14.162m , Power- 2KW. It operates in a Halo orbit, circling around a point in space known as the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point, approx 1500000km beyond Earth orbit a...

NISAR: A Global Collaboration for Earth Observation 🌍🚀

  The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is one of the most advanced Earth observation missions ever undertaken. It is a joint collaboration between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) , marking a milestone in international space partnerships. Scheduled for launch in March 2025 , NISAR will be the first radar imaging satellite to use dual-frequency (L-band and S-band) radar to observe Earth with unprecedented accuracy. The satellite will revolutionize how we monitor environmental changes, natural disasters, and ecosystem dynamics worldwide. NISAR Satellite Why NISAR is Important? 🌍 Comprehensive Earth Monitoring NISAR will scan the entire Earth's land and ice surfaces every 12 days , making it the most frequent global radar imaging mission. It will track even the smallest changes in Earth's surface, including landslides, glacier movements, and vegetation changes. 🔥 Natural Disaster Respo...
