Why were astronomers surprised to find a pulsar with a planetary system?
A pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star, and a neutron star is created when its host star explodes as a massive supernova explosion. Any planets, which formed along with the host star, should have been destroyed or ejected out of orbit when the star blew itself apart. Yet, one of the first extrasolar planets found was located around a millisecond pulsar PSR B1257+12. It is now believed that these planets are either the rocky core remains of massive gas giants (chthonian planets), or planets that had formed from the remains of the supernova explosion during a period of secondary planetary formation. See related questions for more information.
Possibly the most cataclysmic event to occur in nature is?
After the Big Bang itself, we vote for the explosion of a 'supernova' or possibly a black hole.
The world's loudest volcanic explosion occored in 1883 was in which country when the island of Krakatoa ble itself apart?
The world's loudest volcanic explosion happened in Indonesia
Why can only very large stars form black holes?
because it takes a very large and massive core to pull on itself enough to shrink.
Is Uranus an upside down planet?
Thousands of years ago, Uranus was hit by a massive asteroid.
What forms a black hole?
When a massive star dies, gravity forces it to fall in on itself, and the result is a gigantic explosion called a hypernova. The leftover of a hypernova is a black hole.
Are black holes made out of dying stars?
In general, yes. After a super-massive star "burns" enough of itself through atomic fusion, the energy it creates is no longer enough to counteract its own gravity. The star collapses, then rebounds in a phenomenally powerful explosion -- a supernova. Once that explosion has occurred, if enough matter remains of the original star, its gravitic attraction will cause it to collapse further and further, until it crosses a boundary of density beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape -- a black hole.
What happens when you leave a piece of bread in the cold and dark?
it shrinks but preserve itself
What are the differences between a fire and an explosion?
fire by itself doesn't explode. Explosion explodes.
How do you survive a nuclear explosion?
Receive treatment for radiation poisoning after you avoid the heat and force of the explosion itself
What day was the wickwar gas explosion on?
The Wickwar gas explosion itself was was in the early hours of Friday 9th January
Why is platinum so rare?
Platinium is created within the massive explosion of a supernova. It is one of the last things to be produced when a giant star goes supernova, therefore not a lot of it can be produced in time before the star blasts itself apart.
Does helium have an explosion?
Helium is a neutral gas and will not explode by itself or in the presence of Oxygen.
What is it called when a star becomes brighter as a result of a sudden explosion?
Once a star explodes, it's no longer a star. The explosion itself is referred to as a "Super Nova."
What pushes everything away from the center of an explosian?
It would be the explosion itself and the resulting shockwave.
Why does an explosion occur when hydrogen is added to fire?
Hydrogen itself is highly flammable. If it comes in contact with an open flame it will ignite and burn very rapidly, resulting in an explosion.
What is an imploding bomb?
A bomb that folds inward on itself (implosion) instead of bursting outward (explosion).
