A Mystery at the Core of the Milky Way Galaxy

astronomy

A mysterious out-of-this-world barrier is spotted in the very center of our galaxy.

In a new research termed ”, the scientists involved in this discovery explained that the invisible out-of-this-world feature is most probably found at the inner part of the Milky Way. They also explained that this feature has the ability to challenge conventional theories and models of gravity as well. This discovery might help us to find another planet out in the outer space. If confirmed, it can be used as an Astronomer’s yard of sorts to search for signs of other worlds.

Astronomy and Astrophysics are the only science that has yet to unlock the mysteries of a mysterious barrier that has been found at the core of the galaxy. The latest discovery suggests that there is a large barrier that exists at the Milky Way’s core. Although astronomers have spotted infrared radiation from this phenomenon, they do not know what it is made of. Until the infrared technology is perfected, this mystery will remain a mystery.

Studying the Milky Way through telescopes is a difficult task, as it is very cloudy and very small in size, making it practically inaccessible for most amateur astronomers. However, with the use of high-tech equipment such as NASA’s Chandra telescope, astronomers are able to detect subtle hints of activity within the Milky Way. One of these hints is a 10 micrometer wide spiral arm of cold gas that seems to go on for thousands of light years.

This discovery by a team of German researchers was announced in June of 2021 and is one of many that have been made by the European Southern Observatory. Over thirty years ago, another research team discovered a similar spiral structure that existed to exist almost as far away as the current-day galaxy. They called this ‘the first spiral arm.’

How Much of Your DNA is Made Up of Dark Matter?

astronomy, biology

There are many theories about dark matter that have been explained over the years.

While some of these concepts seem questionable, some scientists believe that its possible. One of the more accepted theories is that dark matter contains deformation or “disruption” that is caused by a very powerful particle, perhaps a cosmic void. The particle is thought to cause the observed imbalance between normal and abnormally high energy levels. For those who subscribe to this school of thought, there is evidence that this energy disrupts the normal functioning of a system that is responsible for creating our DNA.

Some of the characteristics of this disrupted DNA include abnormalities, genetic malfunctions, and structure instability.

Although much has been discovered in the last decade concerning the processes and workings of the DNA, the real question is “Is dark matter found in human DNA?”.

Top 5 Ways to Get to Net Zero Emissions

environment

The top five ways to get to net zero emissions of carbon dioxide is, first, to reduce your personal carbon emissions.

You can do this by deciding which products you buy that are high in carbon dioxide emissions like gasoline and items which you do not use anymore.

By having these types of products at a minimum, you will be contributing to greenhouse gases being burned. When you choose to purchase these products, you may also consider reducing the number of cars you drive and instead buy transit or bicycle trips to work. You may even decide to rent a hybrid car or walk for your transportation needs.

The second way is to replace all your household appliances with energy efficient models. This means buying new appliances that will cut down on your electricity and gas bills. If you really want to go green, you should take the time to research the newer energy saving appliances available that can save as much as 70% in energy costs. While you are at it, you should make sure you have your water heater, clothes dryer, and the furnace cleaned and maintained regularly to help eliminate the buildup of toxic gases in your home.

The third way to go green is to change the types of clothing you buy.

The Mariana Trench Mystery

environment, wildlife

Marianas Trench is fast becoming a name and location everyone know about but this time it’s in the news because of a different purpose.

With a depth of almost nine hundred feet this is the deepest oceanic trench in the world.

It was believed to be an ocean bed that was later uplifted due to plate movements when the Earth quaked. Scientists were not able to figure out at first why this deep oceanic layer of the planet had suddenly stopped drying up, but now they know. It is believed the sudden drop was caused by the eruption of Mt. volcano, which has an active underground fault line.

With the eruption of the Mariana Trench became a sanctuary for some rare marine species like few reef dwellers and a variety of sponges. This protected zone has since been shrinking due to the increasing amount of sediment. Part of the shrinking is caused by global warming and increased ocean acidity. The shrinking is also causing the Mariana Trench to produce more black corals. These unique creatures were last seen in the depths of the Mexican Pacific Ocean, but now they are found in the total darkness of the Mariana Trench.

There is another interesting thing about the Mariana Trench Mystery.

Why Does Something Keep erupting in Space?

astronomy

It seems that something keeps exploding in space and scientists have no idea what it is.

The latest theories suggest that it may be an asteroid. There are a number of collisions that take place between these massive space rocks. Many of these collisions can cause huge amounts of damage to satellites or landing crafts which we rely on for communication, navigation, and safety.

Another theory suggests that something keeps exploding in space because the Earth is being bombarded with space rock debris. This debris travels through the atmosphere until it reaches its final destination. There it is often heated by solar radiation and weathering before it plows into our atmosphere. One such plume has been found recently. NASA scientists have spent the last several months studying this object. They have found that it has come from outer space and is likely to be very common, especially near planets in our own solar system.
