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 ...
