Nirvana Aurora

 If you want to experience real peace, real excitement, true goosebumps you have to go towards the North and South pole of our Beautiful Tellus; also Greenland, Iceland, Norway as well. You will observe the erotic Northern and Southern Lights i.e Aurora. It is the name of the Roman goddess of dawn.


Witnessing an Aurora is based on your luck and the weather conditions. If everything goes well you will not forget this experience in your entire life. It's a mesmerizing experience. It has been my lifelong wish to experience an Aurora with my naked eyes with someone special. We can see Aurora in both regions to watch the northern lights in Tromso, Norway. Based in the heart of the aurora zone in the Norwegian Arctic as well as to watch southern lights the best places are Antarctica and also South Arm Peninsula, Tasmania, Australia. 

Northern lights are also known as 'Aurora Borealis in the north and for Southern lights  'Aurora australis' in the south.

We can visualize every color from pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white in different quantities during an aurora. They can also be a combination of colors, with each color visible at a different altitude in the atmosphere.



Aurora is like Heaven but it's not a heavenly body, major science and also a major mechanism is behind Aurora.

The very basic reason behind this is the solar winds from the sun are traveling or flying in the solar system The sun constantly emits streams of particles from its atmosphere out into the solar system. This emission is referred to as solar wind. Sometimes there are solar storms or solar flares, resulting in heavier emissions than normal.Every planet has its magnetic fields in different quantities according to its composition and structure. The magnetic field defends with the solar winds to save our earth. Visualization of the magnetic field is from the south pole to the north pole. The Magnetic field deflects the solar wind that’s why we can see the beautiful Aurora, and one thing which I forgot to mention is that Aurora can be visualized on the other side of the earth i.e opposite to the sun-facing side (dark side). The magnetic field of the earth is three-dimensional, the aurora appears as an oval ring around the pole.  If the magnetic field is not there it is very difficult to live here. Auroras can vary in brightness. People who regularly observe auroras and report on them generally use a rating scale from zero (faint) to four (very bright). 


If we go in some depth to understand how it's formed here it’s an explanation. 

  1. The charged particles of solar winds, as well as flares, hit directly the magnetic field of our earth. Some get deflected around the earth and others deal with field lines this process causes the Birkeland currents of charged particles to travel at both poles.

  2.  That's the reason why we can see auroras at both hemispheres simultaneously.

  3. When an electric charge cuts across a magnetic field it generates an electric current. They pick up more energy because the currents sink into the atmosphere of the planet with that field lines, once they hit the ionosphere- which is the topmost layer that contains high energy-they collide with ions of oxygen and nitrogen. There is the successive transfer of energy between hitting particles/ ions and oxygen & nitrogen ions.

  4. The particles that interact with the oxygen and nitrogen ions in the atmosphere don't come from the sun but rather were already trapped by the Earth's magnetic field. 

  5. The absorption of energy by oxygen and nitrogen ions causes electrons within them to become "excited" and move from low-energy to high-energy orbitals.

  6. When the excited ions relax, the electrons in the oxygen and nitrogen atoms return to their original orbitals.

  7.  In the process, they re-radiate the energy in the form of light. This light makes up the aurora, and the different colors come from light radiated from different ions.



    There are some apps providing forecasts of probable auroras. They calculate the changes in the strength of Earth’s magnetic field. Single measurements are tracked as a K-index. An aggregation of the measurement stations is used to produce a Planetary K-index. The higher the Kp value, the more likely an aurora will appear.

    There are some planets in our solar system on which the beautiful creation of Aurora is visible. Each of the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) has a strong magnetic field, a dense atmosphere, and, as a result, its aurora.

Evidences for the Dark Matter

-

  Dark matter is known  as the “missing mass,” dark matter’s existence was first inferred by Swiss American astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who in 1933 discovered that the mass of all the stars in the Coma cluster of galaxies provided only about 1 percent of the mass needed to keep the galaxies from escaping the cluster’s gravitational pull.  In this blog we will discuss 5 different pieces of evidence for the existence of the dark matter  BENDING OF LIGHT Gravitational lensing:- The amount of bending is proportional to the mass of the object that causing the bending,  Light gets bent due to the mass of the object. In this image light from the distant galaxy is lensed due to galaxy clusters, so we get lensed images here on the earth. But we are getting an extra lensed image than usual but the Amount of bending is proportional to the mass of the object, so there is evidence of missing mass, We get the factor of the Dark matter here. We can derive the formula for this  As  ROTATIONAL CURVE The f

Omuamua -The Interstellar Object

  1I/2017 U1 'Oumuamua' is the scientific name of Omuamua   Omuamua was the most recent interstellar object detected while passing through the solar system. 1I/2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua, was discovered on October 19, 2017, by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope, which is funded by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) Program, which finds and tracks asteroids and comets in Earth’s neighborhood. Initially, it was classified as a comet but after some observations like speed and direction of path no signs of cometary activity were revealed as it slingshotted past the Sun on Sept. 9, 2017, at a blistering speed of 196,000 miles per hour (87.3 kilometers per second).   Size, Shape, and specifications Omuamua was The first confirmed object from another star to visit our solar system, It was looking like a rocky body and somewhat cigar-shaped object, very weird straight and slim shape and its color was reddish hue due to effects of irradiation from cosmic rays over hundre

CONJUCTION - 21DECEMBER 2020

21 December-the day of the solstice- is the day where we saw the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn.  But some curious minds will think that what is the conjunction?  In astronomy, a conjunction occurs when any two astronomical objects (such as asteroids, moons, planets, and stars) appear to be close together in the sky, as observed from Earth If two objects have the same right ascension or the same ecliptic longitude, they are considered to be in conjunction with one another. The planets regularly appear to pass each other in the solar system, with the positions of Jupiter and Saturn being aligned in the sky about once every 20 years. But What was special in this year’s conjunction? It’s been nearly 400 years since the planets passed close to each other in the sky, and nearly 800 years since the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter occurred at night, as it will for 2020, allowing nearly everyone around the world to witness this “great conjunction.” History of Jupiter and Saturn conjunction
