Journey to the Earth's Core

O ften Astronomy is about looking up in the sky, but now, in this post, let's travel to Earth's center. Meaning deep down until we reach its core. Hello and welcome to our Blog called CosmicWisdom, where we talk and know about celestial bodies, their mechanisms, and other features in very simple language, without any jargon. Introduction: As many of us know, that Scientists mainly divide the Earth's interior into 3 distinct parts called the crust, Mantle and Core. In this post, we'll talk about their physical properties and clear up some confusion spread among commoners and non-experts. Also, you'll read it in a way like you are travelling right inside the ground from where you stand, until you reach the core. Without wasting any time, let's commence our journey. Let's look at this CGI Image prepared with our GPU and Blender. Although there's a compression artifact, it shows the true geometry of the underground. Interior of The Earth Crust: A simplified ...

The Physics of Stars Made Simple Plasma and Degenerate Matter

S tars are oceans of plasma, much like Earth's seas. Two main types of matter rarely found on Earth—Plasma and Degenerate matter—make up stars. Today, we'll explore the materials stars are made of. Welcome to our blog discussing cosmic objects with minimal math. Introduction: AI Generated Thumbnail As children, we heard the sun described as a giant fireball. Scientists call it a nuclear furnace made of plasma. While star discussions often dive into the core, we'll focus on stellar surface activities involving plasma and degenerate matter. Imagine us standing on a beach, talking about the sea and its waves. Before diving into plasma, the fourth state of matter, let's review how atoms behave in different states. On Earth, matter exists as solid, liquid, and gas, shaped by heat energy. Molecules form when atoms b...

Why and how stars lose their vitality

Y ou all know that the sun is the most powerful energy source nearby to Earth, but have you ever thought, how powerful it is compared to other stars? In this post, we'll decide the parameters that make a star weak or powerful and give you a general idea to imagine their strength. Let's begin. Massive Star Showing Flares and CMEs Introduction: It is often shouted in the media and scientific community that our sun is a giant nuclear furnace with immense energy output. When we think of powerful things, they directly jump to black holes, supernovae, or quasars. They are indeed powerful, but we've left behind many stars and structures, and it might feel like there is a large gap between our sun and Betelgeuse. It's time to look at those rarely discussed stars. Welcome to our blog, CosmicWisdom , where we discuss... (Just look at the header of your ...
