Pulsars are extremely dense objects which are the final stage in the life cycle of a star. These are simply neutron stars which rotate in specific time periods and give off powerful radio bursts with each rotation. Being so dense and rotating at fixed time intervals with such great precision, they provide scientists opportunities for detecting Exoplanets, Graviational waves and also to sudy dense forms of matter.       Contents :- Neutron stars Chandrashekhar limit Pulsars Types of Pulsars Uses made of Pulsars  Neutron stars :                     There are different types of stars that are formed in the universe ranging from the smallest brown dwarfs ( not really considered as stars ) to the medium range where or sun lies being a yellow dwarf right to the largest stars ie:

A blog on the universe and the cosmos above and the nature of it determined by great scientists. What is Higgs Boson What is Higgs Field What is Vacuum and False Vacuum Vacuum Decay Vacuum Decay is a theoretical prediction about how the universe will end due to the Higgs field which gives all particles their masses moving towards the state of complete stability and lowest energy level ( Vacuum state ) considering the assumption, that the Higgs field is currently in a state of false vacuum and has a lot of energy to give off and attain complete stability from the state of partial stability. What is Higgs Boson :                     Higgs boson is today a fundamental boson type in the Standard Model of elementary particles in the world of particle physics. Initially, there were a total of 4 types of bosons which included the Gluon ( massless particles which bind together the quarks present inside protons and neutrons ), Photon ( Particles associated with light ), W-Boson and Z-Boson ( ac

This results in the light getting bent before reaching us.  What is gravity according to General Relativity Bending of light and gravity How we use gravitational lensing What is Gravity according to General Relativity :                      Unlike the Newtonian model, Gravity is not any kind of force when referred with context to General Relativity. In fact, it is just the curvature that is created in the fabric of space and time by any mass that is distorted into it.                      General relativity was put forward by Einstien in the year 1915. At that time, this theor

5 tips for seeing and photographing Draconids A blog on the universe and the cosmos above and the nature of it determined by great scientists.     Draconids are annual Meteor Showers which are generally observed in the initial days of the month of October. For getting a clear view of Draconids:-  one must try to go to an elevated place and avoid pollution and try to remain in the northern hemisphere.  To take great photos of the Draconids:-  One can try selecting a good place Avoid or cancel out light pollution as much as possible Study the Shower timings in advance May or may not invest in good quality astrophotography tools       What are Draconids Places you can see them How to capture them in photos                                                                                     ignore the demo and click to  buy sign   What are Dracnoids :                     Dracnoids are annual meteor showers which are generally visible through the initial few days of the month of October.
