Meteor Showers May One Day Help Protect Humanity! A long-period comet called 2001 RX14 (Linear) turned up in images captured in 2002 by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope in New Mexico.

For centuries, comets have captured our imagination. Across history they have been the harbingers of doom, inspired artists and fascinated astronomers. These icy remnants of the formation of the Solar System hold secrets to help us understand the events nearly 5 billion years ago. But before these secrets can be revealed, comets have to be studied and to study them they need to be found. A team of researchers have developed a technique to hunt down comets based upon data from meteor showers and to assess if they pose any threat to us here on Earth!

The universe’s largest water reservoir, 140 trillion times the water in Earth's oceans, found near a supermassive black hole.

The universe’s largest water reservoir, 140 trillion times the water in Earth's oceans, found near a supermassive black hole: Astronomers have discovered an enormous reservoir of water vapor near the quasar APM 08279+5255, located over 12 billion light-years away. This cosmic water supply contains 140 trillion times the water found in Earth’s oceans and surrounds a supermassive black hole 20 billion times the mass of our Sun. The quasar, which radiates energy equivalent to a thousand trillion suns, offers a glimpse into the conditions of the early universe. The discovery highlights the presence of water vapor billions of years ago, suggesting that life’s building blocks have existed for much of the universe’s history. The region around the quasar is far denser and warmer than typical galactic environments, providing key insights into how galaxies, black holes, and stars formed and evolved. This breakthrough was achieved using advanced telescopes in Hawaii, California, and France, offering an extraordinary window into the cosmos’ earliest chapters.

How Big is the Universe?

How Big is the Universe? According to astronomers, the Universe is about 93 billion light years in diameter. However, this estimation is just based on our current understanding of physics. This implies that the Universe could be much bigger than that. Scientists suggest that the Universe is made up of about 2 trillion galaxies. Each galaxies are of different sizes. But lets stick to our own Milky Way galaxy. The Milky Way has about 400 billion stars within it and it takes lig…

Exoplanet Orbits Youthful Star (Artist Concept)

K2-33b, shown in this illustration, is one of the youngest exoplanets detected to date using NASA Kepler Space Telescope. It makes a complete orbit around its star in about five days. These two characteristics combined provide exciting new directions for planet-formation theories. K2-33b could have formed on a farther out orbit and quickly migrated inward. Alternatively, it could have formed in situ, or in place. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20690

Pillars of Creation |NASA|

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revisited one of its most iconic and popular images: the Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation. This image shows the pillars as seen in visible light, capturing the multi-coloured glow of gas clouds, wispy tendrils of dark cosmic dust, and the rust-coloured elephants’ trunks of the nebula’s famous pillars. The dust and gas in the pillars is seared by the intense radiation from young stars and eroded by strong winds from massive nearby stars. With these new images comes better contrast and a clearer view for astronomers to study how the structure of the pillars is changing over time. Credit: NASA, ESA/Hubble and the Hubble Heritage Team

Why isn't there a name for this Supercluster?

A supercluster is a large group of smaller galaxy clusters or galaxy groups;[1] they are among the largest known structures in the universe. The Milky Way is part of the Local Group galaxy group (which contains more than 54 galaxies), which in turn is part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is part of the Laniakea Supercluster, which is part of the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex.[2] The large size and low density of superclusters means that they, unlike clusters, expand with the Hubble expansion. The number of superclusters in the observable universe is estimated to be 10 million.[3]

A Hubble Space Telescope image of the core of quasar 3C 273. A coronagraph on Hubble blocks out the glare coming from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the quasar. This allows astronomers to see unprecedented details near the black hole such as weird filaments, lobes, and a mysterious L-shaped structure, probably caused by small galaxies being devoured by the black hole. Located 2.5 billion light-years away, 3C 273 is the first quasar (quasi-stellar object) ever discovered, in 1963. Credit:NASA,ESA
