[Urdu/Hindi] How to Understand the Mind-Boggling Scale of the Universe | Kainaati Gup Shup | Porphyrion Jet
The universe is unimaginably vast, and a new discovery highlights its immense scale: black hole jets stretching an incredible 23 million light-years across—making them the largest astronomical structure ever observed. For perspective, that’s over 100 Milky Way galaxies laid end-to-end! But how can we, as tiny beings on a small planet orbiting a modest star, comprehend such colossal scales?In this episode of Kainaat Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed explores this awe-inspiring discovery and reflects on how humanity makes sense of the universe’s grandeur through the stories we tell.#jameswebbspacetelescope #nasa #scienceexplained #blackholetheory #scienceexplained #astronomy #kainaatigupshup #astronomyadventures #universe Subscribe to our NEW Kids English Channel here: / @kainaatkidsenglish

[Urdu/Hindi] James Webb Telescope Unveils Stunning Brown Dwarfs in Deep Space!
🌌 For the first time ever, the James Webb Space Telescope has detected brown dwarfs outside our galaxy! These unique objects, smaller than stars but much larger than planets like Jupiter, offer incredible insights into the process of star formation. The discovery comes with one of the most breathtaking images captured by JWST, showcasing the star-forming region NGC 602 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) galaxy. In this episode of Kainaati Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed dives into the science behind brown dwarfs, what they reveal about cosmic formation, and the incredible technology of the James Webb Telescope.You can find the original paper about the discovery here: Peter Zeidler et al, Discovering Subsolar Metallicity Brown Dwarf Candidates in the Small Magellanic Cloud, The Astrophysical Journal (2024)

[Urdu/Hindi] Europa Clipper to Explore Jupiter's Icy Moon!
🌍 Jupiter's moon, Europa, is one of the most promising locations in our solar system for finding alien life! Beneath its thick ice sheet lies a vast salt-water ocean, making it a key target for NASA's Europa Clipper Mission. Launched in 2024, this groundbreaking mission will arrive at Europa in 2030, conducting close flybys and even passing through potential plumes of water erupting from its hidden ocean. Could these plumes hold clues to extraterrestrial life? 🔭 In this episode of Kainaat Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed dives deep into the mission, exploring the fascinating science behind Europa and its potential to support life.

[Urdu/Hindi] Confirmation of an Intermediate Mass Blackhole (IMBH)
We know that black holes exist. One of the types of black holes is roughly on the scale of the mass of our Sun. They form when the large-scale ones die. Then there are supermassive black holes that exist at the centers of galaxies. These can have masses on the scale of millions or billions of times the mass of our Sun. Our Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole that is 4 million times the mass of our Sun. But astronomers have been looking for medium size blackholes. And now, finally, there is evidence of one in a globular cluster in our galaxy. In this episode of Kainaati Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed discusses how astronomers discovered this mid-size black hole.

[Urdu/Hindi] Water and Life on Mars: What NASA’s Rovers Have Uncovered
Mars continues to captivate scientists and space enthusiasts alike! While we've discovered over 5,000 exoplanets orbiting distant stars, the Red Planet remains one of the most intriguing within our solar system. Billions of years ago, Mars had vast oceans and a suitable climate for life. Today, it's a cold, barren desert, but NASA’s rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance, are unearthing fascinating clues about its ancient history. Could Mars have once harboured life? In this episode of Kainaati Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed delves into three groundbreaking discoveries that offer new evidence about the possibility of life on Mars.
