stadium sized asteroid pass on 24 july: Greater than earth??or not harmful

A huge stadium sized asteroid ( a cosmic body roaming in space) will pass near the earth on 24 july tuesday according to NASA jet propulsion laboratory( tracks object that are close drift to Earth's orbital area )


It will pass near earth with a 64,373km/h speed.the asteroid named 2021KT1 is about 183 metres in size and comparable size to new york olymic tower.


NASA classified this as a " potentially hazardous object " because it is larger than 496 feet ( 151 metre) 


Mostly cosmic objects if enters earth  burn off in the atmosphere without reaching the surface and causing any harm.But some objects are very huge as the mass extinction of DIANASAURS was beacuse of a 6 mile long asteroid. 

NASA is studying various ways by which we can change its direction if it is causing and will cause any harm to earth . One among of these way is called GRAVITY DETECTOR in which a spacecraft using mutual gravity attraction from a satellite to change the path of asteroid .

Exoplanets holds a better survival than Earth

 Exoplanets holds a better survival than Earth ■Exoplanets are those planets that have a rocky surface like Earth, Mars etc. and found outside our solar system.  We have heard a term SUPER - EARTH A Super earth is  an extra solar planet with a mass higher than our earth but lower mass than " ice giants" such as Uranus, Neptune. examples of super earth are COROT - 7b{ICARUS}, GJ1214b{SHESHA}, KEPLER - 440b. ■  Reasearchers had already discovered many planets similar to our mother EARTH but very recent studies has opened up new mysterious facts revealed "these SUPER - EARTHS full of Hydrogen and Helium.

Research: The mass of a black hole is 4.4 times the mass of sun | Binary systems | black hole - ISC

 Research: The mass of a black hole is 4.4 times the mass of sun|Binary systems|black hole NASA  and European Space Agency(ESA) for the first time measured the mass of a black hole moving in space with the one and only The Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Until now the mass of a black hole determined on the basis of position of binary systems or galaxies. Large black holes were belived to occur only with companion stars , but for the first time a single black hole has occured .  The discovered black hole is believed to be about 80 light years away from our galaxy. Earlier it was estimated that it is 5000 light years away. Stars increase its mass by interacting with another star or its comapnion star. When the mass increased it explodes called Supernova.  Remants called as 'neutron star'. When remanant is bery large it is called "black hole".  According to scientists the mass of a neutron star is between 1.6 to 4.4 times the mass of sun. The discoveries till n...
