NGC 1232 spiral Galaxy

This spectacular image of the large spiral galaxy NGC 1232 was obtained on September 21 1998 during a period of good observing condition.

It is based on 3 exposures in ultra violet, blue and red light respectively. The colors of the different regions are quite visible : the central region contains old stars of reddish colors, while the spiral arms are populated by young blue stars and many star forming region.

✨The most difficult problem to any future human mission to Mars is to ensure reliable radio communication because Sun often blocks communication between Earth and Mars✨

Cetus-lupeedus!!

✨275 million light years away in the constellation of Cetus two galaxies zoom towards a cosmic boom as they head towards the final stage of merging. Astronomers believe that the collision between these two galaxies will cause inflowing of gases resulting in a compact starburst galaxy.
At the centre of the image, twi galaxies merge in a torrent of light with blue, pink, orange, purple and brown taking centre stage as the galaxies collide and interact✨

✨ This is one of the last images ever taken by NASA’s InSight Mars lander. Captured on Dec. 11, 2022, the 1,436th Martian day, or sol, of the mission, it shows InSight’s seismometer on the Red Planet’s surface.

✨China’s Mars rover, which has been in longer-than-expected hibernation on the red planet since May 2022, has likely suffered excessive accumulation of sand and dust, its mission designer has said, breaking months of silence about the status of the space vehicle.

The fully robotic Zhurong, named after a mythical Chinese god of fire, was expected to have woken up in December after entering a planned sleep mode in May 2022 as falling solar radiation due to the advent of winter on Mars cut its power generation.✨

✨ A very close up image of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. At the time the image was taken, the rover was about 75 feet away. The helicopter takes up the full frame of the photo and sits on the Martian ground filled with dust, dirt and dozens of rocks of various sizes.

There are small protrusions on the top of the helicopter's solar panel. The panel and the two 4 foot counter-rotating rotors have accumulated a fine coating of dust. The metalized insulating film covering the exterior of the helicopter's fuselage appears to be intact. Ingenuity's colour, 13- megapixel, horizon-facing terrain camera can be seen at the center bottom of the fuselage. ✨

What is parallel universe?
Part 1💥

✨A parallel universe, also known as a parallel dimension, alternate universe, or alternate reality parallel universe is a separate universe or world that coexists with our known universe. The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called a "multiverse"✨

Who proposed the parallel universe theory?
Part 2💥

✨Applicant Hugh Everett III
In 1954, Princeton University doctoral applicant Hugh Everett III proposed that parallel universes co-exist with and diverge from our own universe✨

Is parallel universe a thing?
Part 3💥

✨Parallel universes are no longer just a feature of a good sci-fi story. There are now some scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes beyond our own. However, the multiverse theory remains one of the most controversial theories in science. Our universe is unimaginably big✨

Do multiverse exist?
Part 4💥

✨Even though certain features of the universe seem to require the existence of a multiverse, nothing has been directly observed that suggests it actually exists✨

Final Part 5💥
💡🔮Quick Fact🔮💡

✨In 2012, Quantum Physicists Dr.S. Haroche and Dr.D. Wineland received Nobel Prize for their experiments which showed that “A particle can be at two different locations at the same time”
—These Experiments indirectly showed that Parallel Universe do/may exist😮✨.

What is dark matter?
#Part1🗯

— Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter and component of the universe that composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect, or emit light, so they can not detected by observing Electromagnetic radiation, and also their presence is discerned from its gravitational attraction rather than its luminosity.

Dark matter makes up about 85 percent of the total matter in the universe, accounting for more than five times as much as all ordinary matter😮

What is dark matter made of?
#Part2🗯

—It could be composed of baryons but it could also be non-baryonic, that means consisting of different types of particles. Most scientists think that dark matter is composed of non-baryonic matter

How do we detect dark matter and measure its volume?
#Part3🗯️

--As dark matter does not interact with matter and light we detect it with its effect and to measure its volume we first study the mass of the other components of the area/galaxy and then if the mass is higher than the estimate we subtract the actual mass with the estimated mass to get the volume of dark matter.

Some effects of Dark Matter
#Part4✨

▸According to cosmologists' prevailing theory, dark matter pervades pretty much every galaxy, providing the extra gravity that keeps stars from swirling out into space, given the speeds at which astronomers see the galaxies rotating.

▸Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electromagnetic force. This means it does not absorb, reflect or emit light, making it extremely hard to spot✨

•What happens if dark matter touches matter?
#Part5

— Dark matter particles can penetrate all other forms of matter, which means that they may even be able to traverse right through our planet without losing any energy whatsoever.

✨On the other hand, their impact with ordinary matter that Earth is comprised of may hamper them slightly, resulting in a loss of energy

What are the 3 main characteristics of dark matter?
#Part6🗯

—Dark matter is dark: It emits no light and cannot be seen directly, so it cannot be stars or planets. Dark matter is not antimatter.

Antimatter annihilates matter on contact, producing gamma rays. Astronomers do not detect them. Dark matter is not black holes: Black holes are gravity lenses that bend light.

•Can dark matter be used as fuel🔋?
#Part7🗯

—Scientists Says Dark Matter Could Likely Be Incredible Fuel for Spacecraft.

•What would happen if there was no dark matter🫣?
#Part6🗯

— Without dark matter, galaxies would lose a large fraction of the gas that forms new stars immediately after the first major star-forming event they experienced. (As of scientists Explanations)
