#Astronomical Unit

The Universe’s Most Extreme celestial objects!🤩 👉Black Hole – Gravity so strong that not even light can escape. They warp space and time, hiding secrets beyond their event horizons. Pulsar – Rapidly spinning neutron stars that beam intense radio waves like cosmic lighthouses, flashing with incredible precision. Quasar – Ultra-bright galactic cores powered by supermassive black holes, outshining entire galaxies across the universe. Magnetar – Neutron stars with magnetic fields a quadrillion times stronger than Earth’s, unleashing violent starquakes and bursts of energy. 🎯Follow @go_atomico for ATOMICO’s curious adventures through Space and Time, and learn more about astronomy and astrophysics along the way.

Earth is surrounded by thousands of satellites. Some are active, powering GPS, internet, and weather tracking — others are inactive, adding to space traffic. Most orbit close to Earth, and the number keeps rising with mega-constellations. #Satellites #EarthOrbit #SpaceTraffic #LowEarthOrbit #SpaceFacts

The entire known universe, compressed into one mind-bending photo! 🤯🌌🪐" ​ ​"We often think our lives are big, but when you zoom out to this level, you realize we are just a tiny fraction of a fraction of... everything. ✨ Telescopes on! ​This map compress everything: ​We start at our Sun and the tiny, inner planets of our Solar System, barely noticeable in the cosmic foam. ​We move out to the gas giants, our nearby star neighbors, and across the vast arms of our Milky Way Galaxy. ​Past the Andromeda Galaxy, we enter the local group and ultimately see the cosmic microwave background at the very edge of the observable universe. ​It’s a humbling, almost existential reminder of how insignificant we are in the grand, relativistic theater of space. Every point you see is a galaxy, holding hundreds of billions of stars and who knows how many potential lives. #SpaceExploration #UniverseScale #Astrobiology #Astronomy #Nasa UniverseMap Cosmos ScienceCommunication DidYouKnow ScaleOfTheUniverse Amritva SpacePhotography Telescope

DID YOU KNOW? The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way, bringing with it all the planets, asteroids, comets, and other objects in our solar system. So our entire Solar System revolves around the Milky way galaxy, just like the Earth orbits the Sun, but instead of orbiting a star, Solar system orbit around a Supermassive black hole- Sagittarius A*, at the centre of our Milky way galaxy. with an average velocity of 828,000 kilometers per hour. But even at this speed, it takes about 230 million years for the Sun to make one complete trip around the Milky Way.

There is no present in astronomy. Only fractured memories, thrown back in time, drifting through space long after everything has already changed. What we see has moved on. Some of it no longer exists. But the light keeps coming, as if nothing ever ended. 📷🔭🌌📡 @aok.kosovo Team @celestronuniverse #AVX #Astrophotography #Telescope #NightSky #DeepSky #SpaceScience #PhotonCollection #LightFromThePast #TimeAndSpace #CosmicLight #ObservationalAstronomy

My First vs Latest Astro Image – 7 Years in 25 Seconds… You’re looking at my growth over the last 7 years, from some of my earliest to most recent captures of planets, the Moon, and deep-sky objects. All of these were taken using my first telescopes: the Celestron 50AZ and the Celestron 127SLT. I’ve been doing astrophotography for over 7 years, even before I had these scopes, I started with a homemade telescope. (Maybe I’ll make a reel on that journey too!) Every image here was captured using a Celestron telescope and different smartphones. 📱🔭 #astrophotography #réel #telescope #nightsky #explore #nightskyline #astronomy #reelsinstagram #journey #trending #moonlovers #reellife #reelindia #planets #solarsystem #sky #reellife #astronomylovers

SIZED TO SCALE: Earth’s size compared with the two most massive planets in the solar system: Jupiter and Saturn. • Jupiter and Saturn are 2 of the 5 planets which are visible to the unaided eye in the night sky. “Like all the planets including Earth, they orbit (go around the sun) in a counter-clockwise direction as viewed from a point far above the Earth’s north pole. Jupiter has an orbital period of 11.86 years and Saturn’s period is 29.46 years.” — P. Hartigan of Rice University. Jupiter and Saturn have a nearly perfect 5:2 orbital ratio. • 🟠 JUPITER: Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun. Jupiter is 5.2 astronomical units* away from the sun. Jupiter is ~318 times more massive than earth. Jupiter is ~11 times wider than earth. Jupiter’s day (full rotation of the planet) is just under 10 hours (9.92 hours). • 🪐 SATURN: Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun. Saturn is 9.5 astronomical units* away from the sun. Saturn is 95 times more massive than earth. Saturn’s radius is 9 times greater than earth’s. Saturn rotates about once every 10.5 hours. The planet’s high-speed spin causes Saturn to bulge at its equator and flatten at its poles. • ✨ NOTE: * One astronomical unit (AU), is the distance from the sun to earth and is approximately equal to 93 million miles (150 million kilometres) or 8.3 light-minutes. • ✨ Image credits: NASA, ESA, CSA, Matthew Tiscareno, Matthew Hedman, Maryame El Moutamid, Mark Showalter, Leigh Fletcher, Heidi Hammel & Joseph DePasquale. • ✨ Info source: Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction Series from 0 CE to 3000 CE, by P.

🔹What if Earth swallowed by the SUN !? • In about 5 billion years from now, the Sun will exhaust the hydrogen fuel in its core and start burning helium, forcing its transition into a red giant star. • During this shift, its atmosphere will expand out to somewhere around 1 astronomical unit — the current average Earth-Sun distance. 📹Credits: @whatif.show . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #scifiworld #cosmosfact #whatifchallenge #planetearth🌎 #redgiants #redgiantstar #supernovas #astronomicalunit #sunburst #sunexplosion #explosive 🔹Follow "unraveltheCOSMOS" on Instagram to explore outerspace and know the facts of the Universe.

Take a look at this breathtaking view of five planets that can be seen from Earth through a telescope! 🌌 This incredible video from @amitabhbachchan captures the beauty of our solar system and the wonders of the universe. Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars, and Mercury are visible from Earth at different times of the year, and this video shows them all together in a rare celestial event. These five planets have fascinated astronomers and stargazers for centuries and continue to inspire us to explore the mysteries of the cosmos.

It all began in 1957 with the launch of the very first artificial satellite, marking the start of humanity’s presence in space. Since then, the number of satellites orbiting Earth has grown from just one to many thousands by 2025. What started with a few scientific and military missions has expanded into a vast orbital network powering our daily lives—GPS navigation, weather forecasting, satellite TV, internet connectivity, Earth observation, climate monitoring, and space research. In recent years, the rise of large satellite constellations has caused the numbers to increase faster than ever before, turning Earth’s orbit into one of the busiest regions around our planet. From a single beeping object in the sky to a crowded orbital ecosystem, this is the silent infrastructure that keeps the modern world running. 🌍📡 #satellite #space #nasa #isro #spacex
