What fascinates you most about space? 11-year-old Nitika from Bangalore shares her thoughts, in this blog.
Mystery of space
Space is a large, vast region full of adventures and dreams, and many of them have remained hidden till now. Scientists and astronomers are conducting extensive research and learning new things about space, but there is still so much more to learn about this vast universe.
I’m constantly interested in learning about the universe, galaxies, planets, and other aspects of space. It fascinates me to learn interesting information about the universe. But what piques my interest in space is the mystery of various things relating to space that have yet to be uncovered.
I’ve learnt about black holes, white holes, and wormholes and that various studies are being conducted on them. I’ve heard various hypotheses, but I’m not sure which is correct. I’m quite interested in learning more about the black hole enigma.
I understand that a black hole is a location in space where gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. Because stuff has been compressed into a small space, gravity is extremely powerful. This can occur when a star dies.
People can’t see black holes because no light can escape. They are undetectable. Space telescopes equipped with specialised equipment can aid in the discovery of black holes. Special technologies can observe how stars in close proximity to black holes behave differently from other stars.
White holes are hypothetical cosmic areas that operate in the opposite manner as black holes. Nothing can escape from a black hole, and nothing can enter a white hole.
Anything that enters a black hole passes through the walls and emerges through a white hole into a new galaxy. But nothing has been proven because no human has ever attempted to enter a black hole, so I’m curious to see what happens if somebody does.
