Satellites reflect sunlight which is visible from the ground. Nowadays, when you look up at the sky, you can very often spot fast moving illuminated objects traveling across the sky – they are the satellites.

Who knows—there might be another Earth with life, waiting to be discovered. This curiosity has driven humankind to explore beyond our Solar system for our cosmic neighbors and in 1995 the very first planet orbiting a main sequence star was discovered, an extra solar planet – Exoplanet. 51 Pegasi b was the first confirmed exoplanet detection which orbits a G type star like our sun. Missions like Kepler, TESS and ground-based observatories have identified about 5788 confirmed exoplanets (as of 27 Nov 2024)...

Threads or filamentary kinds of structures are one of the recently discovered phenomena in the field of Astrophysics. We find one galaxy named ESO 137-006 has a similar kind of feature. Like thin woven layers of threads are connecting somehow the bipolar jets and hence lobes of its AGN activities...

The vastness and beauty of the night sky have captivated humanity for centuries. The countless stars visible to the naked eye represent only a small fraction of the greater cosmic puzzle. Our eyes are sensitive only to those astronomical objects that emit maximum radiation in the optical waveband (λ = 350-750 nm).
