Largest Black Hole Ever Discovered

The black hole, named OJ 287, is the largest black hole yet discovered, with a mass of 18 billion solar masses. If this black hole were located near our Sun, its event horizon would be 104 billion km in all directions. This means its total diameter is 211.7 billion km. To understand the distance, let's consider Pluto's orbital distance. Pluto is approximately 3.6 billion km from the Sun.

How does space travel affect the human body?

Star Trek's famed doctor, McCoy, said, "Space is a disease and a danger buried in darkness and silence." He's right; space travel can weaken and exhaust people, make them sick, and even lead to depression. Experts say that space doesn't offer a suitable environment for the evolution of human life. The effects of this journey on the human body are as follows:

Earth and Türkiye in the Total Solar Eclipse

We see the view from Earth during solar eclipses, and even see images from the International Space Station, but what about on Earth's surface? During a solar eclipse, the Moon's shadow falls on Earth. In the photo, we see the shadow cast over Türkiye and Cyprus. The shadow travels across the Earth's surface at an average speed of 2,000 km/h. This means the shadow stays in one place for only a few minutes at most.

Colliding Stars Solve Seventeenth-Century Explosion Riddle

APEX observations reveal the mystery of Nova Vulpecule 1670 Several great seventeenth-century astronomers, including Hevelius and Cassini, who also mapped the moon, carefully studied a new star that appeared in the sky in 1670. Hevelius called the star a Cygnus nova, but it is now known to astronomers as Nova Vulpecula 1670 [1]. Throughout history […]

Cotard Syndrome

I'm going to share my text with you, which addresses an interesting topic. The purpose of this post is to help you perceive and analyze people's expressions and actions with a more developed awareness. Many people tell you about jinn and ghosts. Perhaps you, too, think you've seen jinn or ghosts. The text below shows the tricks our brain can play on us and the situations it can lead us into.

The Infinite Monkey Theorem (or, On the Power of Coincidences)

The 'Infinite Monkey Theorem' can be translated as 'an infinite number of monkeys theorem' or 'a monkey theorem with infinite time.' This theorem has nothing to do with evolution, as some might think. It is a theorem that addresses the formation of the universe. It shows that the formation of the universe can be attributed entirely to chance, and if the probability of that chance is positive (i.e., impossible […]
