NASA hubble telescope captured the image of a storm running on Mars.

A few days ago a storm has been seen on Mars, it is believed that this is responsible for dusty mist and other dust clouds on Mars. The storm that arose on Mars is of red dust, the only reason for this is, the red of Mars, the large regional dust storm on Mars as a strong, red cloudy area in the middle of the planet's disk. The storm on Mars is so big, it is so big, that you can guess from this, that this storm can prevent the sun's bright light from spreading by several k.m. The storm seen in Halli is about l930 mi (1500 km). The storm has been churning in the equatorial regions of the planet for several weeks, with Mars now in its hottest months, and is closest to the Sun in its orbit, resulting in a smaller than normal south polar ice cap, which  By and large summer has come to a close.

 On October 28, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took a picture of Mars, which can be seen, the storm on Mars, when the picture of the storm was taken, when Mars was very close to the Earth. Hubble's advanced camera took this image for the survey's high resolution imager, which was 43 million miles (69 million km) away from the Earth at the time. The Hubble telescope has caught a regional dust storm on Mars, which is rapidly moving forward, and is also developing very rapidly. The dust storm, which can be seen in the center of the planet from Hubble's view, is measured approximately 930 miles (1500 km) long diagonally, which is comparable to many cities in the US, such as the states of Texas Oklahoma and New Mexico. Storm as big as size.

 One can observe this storm of Mars with any telescope, it is no wonder that amateur astronomers can monitor this storm even with moderately sized telescopes. As seen in the image of the storm, the smallest resolvable features (small craters and wind ridges) are the size of a large city, about 12 miles (20 km) across. The dust storm is located near the sinus meridiani of Mars, close to the landing site of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. The rover may have to face a lot of difficulties due to the storm, because the dust in the storm can stop the sunlight coming into the atmosphere, and getting sunlight is very important for the rover to stay operational.

 In 2005, Mars was closest to Earth, and Mars was about 43 million miles (69 million km) between Earth, when the NASA hubble telescope was at a distance when it took an image of Mars with its advanced camera, Mars goes through a 26-month cycle, and its distance from Earth changes. It has been seen many times, that when the distance between two planets is the shortest, we can see that planet from our planet with the same telescope, in the same way when Mars is close to the Earth, then in the sky When viewed through binoculars, it appears large. Taken with Hubble's advanced camera, the image depicts various filters blue, green, and red (250, 502 and 658 nanometer wavelengths), when Mars is its hottest month, which is when it  It is closest to the Sun in orbit.

NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Reveals New Details of the Orion Nebula’s Star Formation.

By Surendra Uikey
  This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image captures the Orion Nebula (Messier 42, M42), the nearest star-forming region to Earth, located about 1,500 light-years away. A captivating new image captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope offers an extraordinary look into the Orion Nebula, the nearest massive star-forming region to Earth. Located just 1,500 light-years away, this nebula is visible to the naked eye below the three stars forming Orion's "belt." The region is home to hundreds of newborn stars, including two protostars featured in the image: HOPS 150 and HOPS 153. Named after the Herschel Orion Protostar Survey, conducted with ESA’s Herschel Space Observatory, the protostars HOPS 150 and HOPS 153 provide key insights into the early stages of star formation. HOPS 150, visible in the upper-right corner of the image, is a binary star system, with two young stars orbiting one another. These protostars are surrounded by small dusty disks, where material from th...

New Method Detects Small Asteroids in Main Belt, Offering Insight for Planetary Defense.

By Surendra Uikey
  An international team of physicists, led by MIT researchers, has developed a groundbreaking method to detect small asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within the main asteroid belt. These space rocks, ranging from the size of a bus to several stadiums wide, were previously undetectable using traditional methods. The team's discovery, detailed in a paper published in Nature, could significantly improve tracking of potential asteroid impactors, aiding planetary defense efforts. The main asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, is home to millions of asteroids, but until now, scientists could only detect objects roughly a kilometer in diameter. The new detection technique, which utilizes the "shift and stack" method, is able to identify much smaller asteroids, even those far from Earth, enabling more precise orbital tracking. This breakthrough is crucial for planetary defense, allowing scientists to spot near-Earth objects that may pose a threat in the fu...

XSPECT Payload Successfully Validates Performance through Cas A Observation.

By Surendra Uikey
  The XSPECT instrument captures a detailed spectrum of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A), encompassing both the Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) background and the Cosmic X-ray Background (CXB). The flux observed above 8 keV predominantly results from the combined contributions of CXB and GCR. The presented spectrum, depicted in the figure, is derived from a cumulative integration time of 20 ksec, collected across multiple orbits, providing valuable insights into the X-ray emissions associated with Cas A. XPoSat, India's inaugural X-ray polarimetric mission, has achieved a significant as the XSPECT instrument captures its initial observations from the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. Launched on January 1, 2024, XPoSat is equipped with two co-aligned instruments, namely the POLarimeter Instrument in X-rays (POLIX) and X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing (XSPECT). This mission is designed to unravel the mysteries of cosmic X-ray sources. While POLIX focuses on examining X-ray po...
