Betelgeuse - A Stellar Mystery

Betelgeuse - A Stellar Mystery


Orion's giant orange star Betelgeuse  and one of the largest known stars in the night sky—is at the left shoulder of Orion. You can find it by getting to know all the stars in the Orion, or by locating Orion's Belt, which will be almost vertical in the night sky as its gets dark.

Mystery :

Last year December Betelgeuse brightness is slowly reduce is almost dimmer than the 20th bright star. Scientists are expecting that it is gonna be a supernova because it is massive about 20 times bigger than our sun. If sun is replaced by Betelgeuse it will swallow Mercury Venus Earth and Mars and it will roast  Jupiter and Saturn

If the supernova happens it would be the closer to our solar system but it doesn't affect earth because it 650 light years away but we can see the supernova seem bright light in the sky it  can be seen through naked eye if it happens. But the twist is Betelgeuse brightness become normal after few weeks scientists find that the gas and dust  around the red gaint star  makes it brightness fainter it is such a mystery but it gone to be explode in 1,00,000 years.

Interstellar Movie Mann's planet Frozen clouds explained

  In the movie when the crew descend to Mann's planet the ranger scrap the edge of an ice clouds. These clouds are largely frozen "Dry ice"(solid form of carbon-di-oxide) the reason why Mann's planet is too cold is, it orbiting the gargantua(black hole) at an over elongated path, the planet swings close(inward journey) around the gargantua and flies out to a large distance(outward journey) and come close around and flies out again, In the movie when the crew desecend to land Endurance is at extreme end of the orbit (outward journey) and after docking scene endurance comes closer to the gargantua; it shows that the Mann's planet mostly away from the accretion disk of gargantua;                                                            oribtary of Mann's planet around gargantua  Mann's planet is cold and ...

How to calculate age of tree using ring without cutting

 How to calculate age of  tree using ring without cutting The rings in the trees are used to calculating the age of the trees and tells what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. The light-colored rings represent wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring plus one dark ring equals one year of the tree’s life. The color and width of tree rings can provide snapshots of past climate conditions. For example, tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and they are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced stressful conditions, such as a drought, the tree might hardly grow at all in those years Calculating the age of the tree without cutting The age of the tree can be calculated without cutting the tree with the help of an instrument called Increment borer this instrument is bored into the tree up to the centre and ...

Which one win the race- solid and hollow cylinder

Which one win the race- solid and hollow cylinder Consider two cylinders of different metals, different diameters, and different in mass now take example   One is a copper metal and another one is aluminium  Now Consider  copper as mass M1 and aluminium as M2 and and also consider that mass of the copper is greater than the mass of the aluminium  And here diameters also varies now place them on a sliding plane and remove the barrier both cylinders will Start rolling in a pure rolling manner now which one wins the race  You might think the copper with heavier mass wins the race  but actually not, neither one wins  both will reach the point at same time now again repeat the task with material of different diameter and length  The results is neither one wins the race Finally take an one  hollow material and another one solid material now did the  same race here the result change hollow one lose the g...
