Solar Eclipse caused by the moon making a small shadow on the Earth.  Solar eclipses can be either total, partial, or annular, depending on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.  Remember that it is not safe to stare at a solar eclipse! Try these gadgets for safety. Total and Partial Solar Eclipse: The moon creates a small shadow which Only allows certain areas of the earth to see a total solar eclipse.  Observers in the “umbra” shadow see a total eclipse (safe to view the Sun).

You can understand the terms "Umbra" and "Penumbra" in the below picture. The Path of Totality is the area covered by the shadow of the moon about which ...

The First Ever Image Of A Black Hole The first-ever image of a black hole is now revealed. it is taken by the event horizon telescope (EHT). the supermassive black hole pictured is at the center of Messier 87, a massive elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo. it is located 55 million light years from earth and has a mass 6.5 billion times larger than our sun. this is a huge achievement, not only because it confirms Eintsines general theory of relativity, but because it opens up the possibility for visual observation of a black hole immediate environment. Do you know what are black holes and how do they form? Most people think of a black hole as a voracious whirlpool in space, sucking down everything around it. But that’s not really true! A black hole is a place where gravity has gotten so strong that the escape velocity is faster than light. But what does that mean, exactly? For the Earth, that velocity is about 11 kilometers per second (7 miles/second). But an ...

Ancient Egyptian Achievements in Astronomy The old Egyptian progress was one of the first and most prominent civic establishments all in all world and the way that the old Egyptians had done numerous accomplishments which secured most sides of the human life, including the political and social upgrades, also, their advances in numerous science majors.
