WHAT IS SUPERNOVA ??


INTRODUCTION

 supernova is an very big explosion of star.it is a very big explosion take place in a space.

 CAUSES

 a supernova happens when a change in core or center of a star is occur.a change can occur in two ways, but end of this way is same.

 TYPE I SUPERNOVA

this type of supernova have a absorption line.this line is show that a star do not have any more hydrogen in them.this type of supernova are very bright in sort time.this type of supernova happens when a white dwarf is orbiting a big star.

 TYPE II SUPERNOVA

 the absorption line of supernova show that they do have hydrogen in them.a star must have at least 8 times the mass of the sun and no more than 45 times of mass of the sun to undergo this explosion.
Supernova: Five Stages in the Death of a Star

 1. Just before explosion A red super-giant star approaches the end of its life. There is no more fuel to burn and make it shine. Soon its massive dense core is bound to collapse under its own weight.

 2. The first light flash The core collapses and sends a shock wave out. For a few hours the shock compresses and heats the envelope, thus producing a very bright flash of light from the inside of the star.

 3. The flash has gone After hitting the surface at 50 million km/h the shock blows the star apart. The core turns into a neutron star, a compact atomic
nucleus with the mass of the Sun but 10 km in size.

 4. The proper Supernova The hot glowing surface expands quickly making the fireball brighter again. In a few days it will be 10x the size of the original star and will be discovered by supernova hunters.

 5. A long time after The remains of the former star are spread over light years of space. They keep floating quickly, sweeping up interstellar gas here and there, leaving a faint beautiful glow behind…

WHAT HAPPENED DURING FIRST SECOND OF BIG BANG??

FIRST SECOND OF BIG BANG           At 1 x 10 -43  seconds,            the universe was incredibly small, dense and hot. This homogeneous area of the universe spanned a region of only  3.9 x 10 -34  inches. During this phase, big bang theorists believe, matter and energy were inseparable.The four primary forces of the universe were also a united force.at that time  The temperature of this universe was 1 x 10 32  degrees Kelvin.the quark particles was made during this phase.   At 1 x 10 -35  seconds,           as universe expanded,its cooled and energy and matter decoupled. the universe filled with a nearly equal amount of matter and anti-matter. There was more matter than anti-matter, so while most particles and anti-particles annihilated each other, some particles survived. These particles would later combine to form all the matter in the universe.so...

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD OF EARTH INTRODUCTION                      The motions of the liquid iron and nickel outer core of the earth are thought to create the earth’s magnetic field. This magnetic field resembles a dipole as if a giant bar magnet was embedded inside. However, the axis of the dipole is not aligned with the rotational axis of the earth. Neither is it centered in the earth. EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELDS PROTECT US FROM SOLAR WIND AND SPACE RADIATION.            The Sun is a burning ball of gas that reaches such extreme temperatures that gas flies out from it at very high speeds. In fact, many of the electrons in the Sun’s atoms have enough energy to actually leave the atoms. The abandoned charged atoms are called ions. These ions and electrons flow outward from the Sun, and together they are known as the solar wind.           When the solar wind travels with...

OUR NEIGHBOR,ANDROMEDA GALAXY

OUR CLOSEST GALAXY ANDROMEDA..                 Andromeda  is the largest galaxy in the Local Group, which includes the Milky Way, the Triangulum Galaxy, and dozens of smaller dwarf and irregular galaxies. A recent estimate gave Andromeda 700 billion solar masses. Our Milky Way is only 80% the mass of Andromeda. IMAGE BY :  jpl.nasa.gov                  The Andromeda galaxy was first observed by Persian astronomers, thousands of years ago, and was later cataloged by Charles Messier in 1764. He classified it as M31. In 1912, astronomers calculated its speed to be 300 kilometers per second, moving towards the Sun. Edwin Hubble first calculated the distance to Andromeda, by detecting Cepheid variables in the galaxy. He measured that it was 450 kpc, or 2.5 million light-years away; well outside the Milky Way galaxy.                Rec...
