  • Cosmic Microwave Background (CMR)

    For thousands of years, humans have been trying to figure out the universe and determine its true extent. And there have been a lot of assumptions and theories. during the 1960s, astronomers became aware of microwave background radiation that was detectable in all directions. Known as the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the existence of this radiation has helped to hone our understanding of how the Universe began.

    The cosmic microwave background (CMB, CMBR) is faint electromagnetic radiation that is a remnant from an early stage of the universe, filling all space. It represents the heat leftover from the Big Bang and radiation is most visible in the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum hence the name CMB.

  • We've touched the Sun! (ft. Parker Solar Probe)
    Something really significant for the field of astronomy was announced last week on december 14th. For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there. The new
    milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science. NASA's historic Parker Solar Probe mission is revolutionizing our understanding of the Sun, where changing
    conditions can propagate out into the solar system, affecting Earth and other worlds. Parker Solar Probe travels
    through the Sun’s atmosphere, closer to the surface than any spacecraft before it, facing brutal heat and radiation
    conditions to provide humanity with the closest-ever observations of a star.

  • James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
    Our latest episode is about the most ambitious, complex and the largest telescope ever built by humans . JWST is said to be a time machine which will lead us back to our origin. The James Webb has taken around 30 years and 10 billion $ to develop and it is be bing described as one of the grand scientific endeavour of 21st century. Webb is an outcome of thousands of scientists, engineers and others who have toiled day and night to make it reality.
