Black holes continue to be one of the most complex and unknown objects in the known universe. As we all know black holes are objects with so much gravitational force that nothing, not even light, can escape its grasp. Black holes, like a solar flare, are known to release massive amounts of energy in the …
Solar flares are beautiful, dangerous, powerful, and potentially a massive source of energy that is yet to be harnessed. Solar flares give off enormous amounts of radiation. So much, in fact, that is the star nearest to us (not our Sun) were to have a massive solar flare in our solar system’s direction, our Earth could possibly …
Moon is the only satellite of the earth. The moon evolves around the earth in 27.3 days. The atmosphere of the moon can be considered space. The Russain’s spacecraft Lunik was the first to reach the moon in the year 1959. While the Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft send to the moon, in the …
