Unser mysteriöses Universum

Element Origins After the Big Bang, the ordinary matter in the Universe was composed primarily of just two elements: hydrogen and helium. Currently, there are a wide range of elements, from argon to zirconium. These more complex elements were nearly all produced via stellar evolution processes. The formation of new elements is called nucleosynthesis . Below,  I have describe the basics of the chemistry of the Universe and how it has changed over time. Big Bang Nucleosynthesis  The star-forming region 30 Doradus. The blue stars are massive, hot, young stars. They have formed in a cluster out of gas and dust. (Credit: NASA, ESA, HST WFC3) When the Big Bang occurred approximately 14 billion years ago, the Universe was very hot and dense. Over time, the Universe expanded and cooled down. Approximately 0.001 seconds after the Big Bang, particles (e.g., protons and neutrons) began to fuse together to form atomic nuclei, dubbed nuclear fusion . Nuclear fusio...

On the occasion of the inaugural ceremony of ATL, Astronomy club got a chance to showcase our skills and knowledge about space and space related sciences where we presented hydro rockets, live meteoroid composition , exoplanet weight composition and we gave other others a chance to use see through our MISO(our beloved telescope) which was modified with an inbuilt screen with various star gaze indicators.

Everything you need to know about Friday’s total lunar eclipse, from how to see it wherever you are in the world to why the moon turns red  A blood moon is coming!!!!! Weather permitting, get ready for a beautiful celestial sight on Friday 27 July and Saturday 28 July, when a total lunar eclipse will be visible from almost all parts of the world. The only people missing out this time are Greenland, Canada and the USA. From the India, this spectacular sight will last all evening. As the moon rises at 8:50 P.M. the eclipse will already be in its total phase and the moon will be a deep-red colour as it climbs into the sky. All you need is a clear view of the night sky. Your eyes are the best instrument to soak up the sight. If you happen to have a pair of binoculars to hand you can use them to range across the craters of the moon but that’s just icing on the cake. Best of all, you don’t need to wear special filters or protective glasses to view a lunar eclipse. Unlike a ...

On September 24th 2014, ISRO will be one of the handful of organizations that will have deployed a spacecraft beyond the Earth-Moon orbit. That too in its first attempt. Missions to mars are notorious for failing en-route due to a wide variety of reasons. Mangalyaan being integrated the PSLV rocket’s payload enclosure However lately ISRO seems to have taken valuable lessons from its first deep space mission Chandrayaan, as well as failures of other agencies. Mangalyaan is just a technology demonstrator project for ISRO. The mini orbiter is was built on a shoestring budget of $25 million. It will arrive just a day after NASA’s Maven orbiter reaches Mars. ISRO was earlier aiming for a much heavier payload to send to Mars. However delays in building a heavy lift rocket and the limited launch window in 2013 forced ISRO to make up for lost time and send a lightweight 500Kg craft instead. Mangalyaan Science MOM’s primary mission payload is the methane sensors on board, ca...

Primordial Chill Hints at Dark Matter Interactions in Early Universe A simple experiment has detected a signal from the first stars forming just 180 million years after the Big Bang. The observations have intriguing implications for the nature of dark matter.   The first stars began to shine just 180 million years after the Big Bang , according to new observations by a team of American radio astronomers. The evidence comes from observations of neutral hydrogen gas that pervaded the early universe. But surprisingly, the same observations show an unexpected chill in this gas — a result that could hint at non-gravitational interactions with dark matter . “This is a really cool result,” says Michiel Brentjens (Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy), who was not involved in the study. “It’s an important first step in revealing how the very early universe behaved.” For years, astronomers like Brentjens have been trying to detect the early univers...

Come on guys check out our club's brand  new website Astrometerica academy website !!!!!!!!

Hello!!! friends, I hope you all are doing well in your half yearly examination. A short treat to satiate your  thirst for knowledge about black hole and also,some information for the upcoming discussion next month. Hope you'll like it...... Samridhi Shoor

Astronomy, originating from the Greek word astron ‘star’ and nomos ‘law’, is the scientific study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies. It evolved quite independently in India, China, Egypt and many parts of Europe as the first observational science. The Aersterometrica- an aeronautical and a Astronomical club by an elementary school student, who is ME!!!, Hi, I am Samridhi Shoor, the de-facto president of this club which was founded by me and my friends and my community members in 2015 and since then it has had many members, who have successfully participated in international competitions. In the past, the Society has organized visits to the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) at Pune. Some of the members have also visited NASA for Space Camp which is organized by the Department of Science. In future, the Society has plans to take members to ISRO at Bangaluru and attend space camps in Europe. Due generous endeavours of ...
