Astronomer Have Discovered A Mysterious Object, Which Is 570 Billion Times Brighter Than The Sun
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: physics, space
So bright that it pushes the energy limit of physics.
Billions of light years away, there is a massive ball of hot gas that is brighter than hundreds of billions of suns. It is tough to imagine something so bright. So, what is it? Astronomers are not really sure, but they have a couple of theories.

Asteroid Bennu: Will the best-characterized asteroid in the solar system hit the Earth or not?
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: particle physics, security, space
Asteroid Bennu was in the news recently for an astonishing discovery. NASA scientists revealed that the asteroid has a surface that appears similar to plastic balls. The discovery dates back to October 2020, when NASA successfully collected a sample from the asteroid.
During the sampling event, the sampling head of the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft had sunk by 1.6 feet (0.5 meters) into the surface of the asteroid. The space agency found that Bennu’s exterior is made of loosely packed particles that are haphazardly packed together. The spacecraft would have sunk right into the asteroid if it hadn’t fired its thruster to back away after collecting dust and rocks.
