Hubble Space Telescope Supernova Explosion!

-


 The Hubble Space Telescope has photographed a supernova explosion in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525, about 70 million light-years from Earth.
 To the left of the photo below, the supernova appears as a bright spot of light.
 The supernova that occurred in 2018 was named SN 2018gv and has been observed by the Hubble Space Telescope since February 2018.
 Originally seen as a very bright spot of light, this supernova has gradually diminished in brightness and gradually disappeared.
 By now, this may have largely become a neutron star.
 What makes this type of supernova explosion important to us is that we can use their brightness to calculate how far away that supernova is from Earth.  Then the distance to the galaxy where the supernova is located can also be calculated.  In this way, scientists calculate the distance from the Earth to the farthest galaxies in the universe.
 Watch the video in the first comment to learn more about supernova explosions.

Sigiriya

                                    Sigiriya Sigiriya, one of the most important kingdoms in Sri Lanka, has been criticized as a fortress built to protect itself from enemies, as a second haunt to be built like Kuvera, and as an urban complex. It is said that Kashyapa, who had killed Dhatusena, fled to India and chose Sigiriya as his royal center for fear that his brother Mughals would fight against him. That is to say, it is clear that it was stated that King Adimuthu had taken up his abode at Sinhagiriya which was not easily accessible to the people. Sinhagiriya was later transformed into Sigiriya. The Sigiriya rock is in the form of a lion on the east side and the entrance to the upper floor of Sigiriya is through a lion 's mouth. It is said that when King Kasyapa built the kingdom of Sigiriya, he offered the Pidurangala temple to the monks in that area and used Sigiriya as his state center. How...

   A French animal rights group has criticized a video of French researchers using a porthole-like cannula to access cows' stomachs.  The stomach of a cow is made up of four complex systems called the rumen (reticulum) (omasum) and (abomasum).  Doctors use this device to transfer rumin fluids from one cow to another.  The enzymes and digestive acids in cattle break down the food that is actually digested. Rhombus is the part of the body that is involved in the second process of digestion of food previously consumed.  Digestion occurs.  But why do people use a device like a porthole to enter a cattle ranch?  Scientists say that cannulaing provides direct access to a cow's stomach, improving the digestive health of millions of animals and reducing the use of antibiotics.  They also say that this is a surgery that is usually performed under general anesthesia and that they live longer than normal cows once the animal has recovered.  But ani...

Launched in 2007, the FOTON-M3 satellite is an unmanned spacecraft, but one special faction traveled to expose it to ultraviolet light as well as solar wind, which is a very low-oxygen environment, and to see how safe it would be.  When they are sent into space, ordinary animals and dehydrated animals are sent here, where they are exposed to ultraviolet light and solar wind with vacuum conditions and brought back to Earth.  When they are re-examined, they stop most of their metabolic activity and, although in a cryptobiotic state, soon resume normal activity in large numbers of dehydrated and some dehydrated animals.  This is considered to be a further confirmation of the ability of this omnivorous creature to cope with adverse conditions in all extreme environmental conditions on Earth.  These are called toadgrades, and they bear a resemblance to the first arthropods in evolution.  Most of these eight-legged creatures are smaller than 1mm in size an...
