Astrophysics: Deep In The Space With Maanvinder Pilania

Local Group is a group of more than 80 galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy.

Himiko is a large galaxy with a hot glowing gaseous halo extending over 55,000 light years. It was discovered in 2009 by Japanese scientists using Subaru Telescope's wide-field survey which has been surveying the night sky since 1999. In pictures, it looks like a "blob".

What is Interstellar Space? Is it empty? Or What is its composition? An in-depth explanation of science behind the interstellar space.

In December 2007, NASA announced the discovery of a violent event in which a galaxy was smiting another galaxy with a blast of energy emanating from the vicinity of a Supermassive black hole at the center of one of these two galaxies.
This event took place in a system called 3C321, which lies 1.4 billion light years away from us in the constellation Serpens.

J2157 is a Ultra-Massive Black Hole located 1.2 billion light years from Earth. It devours a sun size star every dayand has been classified as the fastest growing supermassive black hole in the Universe.

130 Elektra has become the first Quadruple Asteroid System in our solar system after the discovery of third moon around this outer main-asteroid belt. The discovery of third moon was announced in November 2021.

WASP-12b is an Exoplanet located 1410 light years away in the constellation Auriga. This ultra hot Jupiter world is being torn apart by its host star and NASA estimates that in about 10 Million years this world will be consumed by its host star.

NASA' James Webb Space Telescope has captured it's first image of HD 84406 star, a sun like star located 260 light years away in the constellation Big Dipper.

WASP-103b is an exoplanet located 1225 light years away from Earth in the constellation Hercules. What makes this planet unique is its rugby ball shape. Listen to know more about this world!

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that not even light cannot escape. The escape velocity for such an object is more than the speed of light and according to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. So, it's impossible to escape from such a dense object. Listen What If Our Sun became a black hole or What If a black hole replaced our Sun?

A Red Giant Star is an evolutionary stage of a main-sequence star like our Sun, in which it runs out of fuel and stars getting bigger and bigger. Our Sun will become a Red Giant Star in about 5 billion years. Listen what If our Sun became a Red Giant Star?

A black dwarf is a hypothetical star in the Universe that will form when a white dwarf star will cooled down. Our Sun will become a black dwarf in about 1 quadrillion years. Listen What If Our Sun became a Black Dwarf?
