Starship Asterisk*

We observed that everything revolving around a central point in the universe. Such as the earth and other planets revolving around its center, the sun. Moons too revolving its mother planets. All the stars in the galaxies also revolving galaxy' central point. Now its proved that there is huge black ...

If Big Bang theory is true, there should be a central point in the universe. Where the singularity were before the big bang. Is it a huge black hole or something else? Is it really exist?

Dear Neufer, I m sorry but I did not get the appropriate answer of my question in your answer. I know in the very beginning one should introduce himself with the constellations with naked eyes. I myself have been watching most of the constellations and planets for more than 3 years. But now I m gett...

for planetary viewing, you're going to desire something with a bit more reach than a 360 focal length scope. what's going to be enough to satisfy your desire to observe? Binoculars were suggested, and I think that's a good place to start. I have an 8" meade Schmidt-Cass that has a Focal length...

What is Cygnus X-I? Is there a black hole in Cygnus X-I?

Thank you very much for your valuable information which through away my confusions on the subject.

IC. When two stars physically orbit each other its called a Binary star system. On the other hand while two stars being on the same line of sight to be virtually appears as one from earth is called a double star. That means one can call a binary star as double star because they also appear as one st...

What is the difference between double star and binary star?

Is there a black hole in Cygnus X-I?

In 1922, Friedmann said that the universe looks identical in whichever direction we look, and this would also be true if we were observing the universe from anywhere else(say from other galaxies). Later, it was proved to be true by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson of Bell Laboratory. - Explanation sol...

Now i understand, thanks a lot.

One more question please, as we know nothing can escape from black hole, even light too. But how those gamma ray jets manage to escape from black hole?

Thank you Peterson, but what you think about the powerful gamma jet radiation during feeding, Such as in SW 1644+57?

What if a massive star falls into a black hole? Will the black hole remain stable? What change will be seen in the black hole? Who the black will tackle the additional mass?

Right. Yesterday I got the chance to test my telescope and I realized that its nothing but just a toy. I thank good that I had not spend much money for it. Now I am planning to purchase a better one. Orion 76mm reflector telescope.

Thanks Chris. I will try to gaze it with my 50mm telescope, of course, when the stupid clouds on my over head will be gone.

Towards which direction one can see the core of our own galaxy, Milky way? And how much aperture and magnification of a telescope is need to see it?

Dear friends, i am happy to say that i have recently brought an entry level 90X refractor telescope. But unfortunately, its not of a very good quality. Besides, I am not sure whether I can watch the planets. The technical detail of the telescope is given below. Kindly put your valuable comments. Dia...

Yes, a line drawn on a sphere or cylinder may not have any end. The concept of infinity is purely mathematical and its relative. For instance, for a tiny ant the earth is infinite, which has no end, but for us its not so. Human imaginations has some limits and varies for persons to persons. Whenever...

Dear Tamarshall, you are absolutely right to say that history of science is full of errors and mistakes. For instance, Aristotle said that the earth was stationary and that the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars moved in circular orbits around the earth. Even Ptolemy also thought so. Now every...

Can anyone imagine a line which has no end? I can't imagine anything which has no end. In other words I don't believe absolute infinity. I am not sure whether the concept of infinity is relative. However, i feel so. Can anyone kindly put their valuable comments on the following two: 1. The universe...

When i was a child, some questions frequently came to my mind like "who am I?", "from where we human came from?". Later when I started to go to school and study different kinds of books, i was naturally attracted to science. I realized that only science is true and can answer my ...

Can i watch proxima centuri from anywhere on the earth? If no, then why we never mention about the direction while we discuss about celestial bodies? If yes, why so?
