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  observed that the star was consuming debris of two planetary bodies.

the falling of debris created a veil of dust resisting the light pass through

Scientists involved in the findings said that if our computer simulations predicting that planets can fall in the star and our interpretations are correct then it will be the first time when it is observed a star consuming planets 

Thus now it clearly states that why the star was dimming for decades. 

This kind of discoveries clearly states that how infant planets survival is affected.

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 cool d

Source behind dust storms and shut down of NASA's rover on mars found by scientists

The fourth planet from the sun, Mars, is a planet covered with dust not only on surface but in its atmosphere also. But what is the source of this dust?   This always remained a question in past.Study published by space scientists in journal Nature communications got the answers for this question. They found a 1000 kilometres long geological formation near the Mars's equator . Scientists involved in this study found same ratio of major constituent elements of the surface feature and in the atmosphere of Mars They named this geological formation Medusae Fossae Formation . The periodic erosion of Medusae Fossae formation creates dust. This dust in atmosphere from this giant deposit is reason of pollution on Mars explained by one of the co author Kevin Lewis assistant professor of earth and planetary science at John Hopkins University.

Some interesting facts about space related missions, check how many of them you know !!

Do you ever wondered that how astronauts live in ISS(International Space Station despite of any gravity,atmospheric pressure  and many thing else). If you think the same then you are on the right page We  have seen astronauts wearing big bulky space suits which seems very uncomfortable right... Yes , but that doesn't matter if it is there to make you live in space. So lets start to reveal these secrets one by one 1. Why astronauts wear white color spacesuit?? Photo by  History in HD  on  Unsplash We know everything space scientist do is on purpose right!! As we know that space consist extreme cold and hot temperature, and harmful radiation that can cause system failure of space suit like oxygen supply system, cooling system and suit on board computer and many more. Don't worry about these terms ,we will come to these terms later.  white color reflects most of the incident radiation (mostly from Sun) falling on the suit thus protect the suit to functio
