12 new moons discovered around the Jupiter, two of them may collide

Head on collsion between two Jovian moons

As we all know the gas giant Jupiter's have already so many natural satellites riding in its orbit mostly in retrograde which means that they revolve in opposite direction of the Jupiter's spin.

Findings of 12 new moons by American Astronomer team with help of Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile in march last year.

Now the total amount of Jovian moons orbiting Jupiter is 79 more than any known planet in our cosmic neighbourhood.

These discoveries were made by astronomers when they were hunting for a ninth planet beyond the orbit of Neptune.

9 of them are retrograde circling in outer orbit and take 2 years to complete one rotation.

The 2 other moons are prograde and are so much close that they are heading towards moon to become small debris due to Jupiter's gravitational field.

Here prograde means moons that revolve in same direction of Jupiter's spin.

The 12th moon named 'Valetudo' orbiting very much close to the orbit of 9 other moons having a prograde nature is like a car driving down the highway on the wrong side of the road.

So if there will be any collision between any of the 9 moons and valetudo will so big that it can be observed from the earth.

How Parker Solar Probe will withstand Sun's heat ?

Sun may look calm and beautiful from our earth but it is one of the most ferocious body in our solar system, a body whose mass continuously rises , having millions of nuclear reactions going every second , tingling magnetic lines sun also have strong and constant winds flowing with speed of million miles per hour . Since it is the only star in our reach to study but it is still very difficult to study its behaviour So how? Parker Solar Probe The answer is Parker solar probe made by NASA which will blast off this year to a long journey of around 4 million miles(6.4 million km) from the earth to the sun. The temperature of sun which can rise up to 1 million degree Fahrenheit is strong enough to melt anything approaching it. So how will our small probe will withstand this harsh surrounding? But still the temperature of the solar panels and elements still can go to about 2498 degree Fahrenheit (1370 degree Celsius) so there is necessity to co...

NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory may have observed star consuming a planet for the first time

There are infinite number of stars in our universe. It is always remained an attraction for cosmologist to observe there behaviour. Many observatories are made by space agencies to study astrology and cosmology one of them is NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory It is dedicated in observing behaviour of stars and planets in our galaxy there are many evidence which shows that a star can consume planets. Well,The New report from NASA on findings of NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory which says that they have observe a star in our Milky Way Galaxy around 450 light years away from our earth. the star which which is named RW Aur A is been in consideration of scientist since 1937 . the curiosity in this star increased due to fading of its optical light for few decades and brightening again. But in recent times the frequent dimming of light took attention of scientists A team of scientist with NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory obse...

Chandrayan2 completed its final and fifth maneuver, What next?

September 1,2019 Today ISRO announced that Chandrayaan2 consisting of orbiter, lander and rover did its final and fifth lunar bound orbit maneuver. ISRO stated that they have successfully conducted this maneuver at IST 6:21 pm which took 52 seconds. Next and most crucial maneuver will be held tomorrow September 1,2019 which will separate Vikram lander from the orbit. Vikram lander with Rover Pragyan will land on moon on September 7,2019 if everything goes right.
