Something Amazing and unknown!!!

Q1. What are quasars?
Ans. Quasars are tiny star-like objects far away in space. We can only see them because they give out so much energy. Astronomers are still not sure what they exactly are!!!

Q2. What is a pulsar?
Ans. Is it a bike?? No, guys, actually pulsar is a spinning neutron star, left behind after a large supernova explosion. It is called a pulsar because of pulses, or flashes of energy it sends out as it spins.

Q3. What is a space station?
Ans. A space station is a large spacecraft which stays in orbit around earth. Scientists can live and work there for long periods of time. The Russian Mir Space Station was launched in 1986.

Q4. Can space make astronauts ill?
Ans. When astronauts stay in space for long periods for time, lack of exercise and weightlessness can affect them- bones lose calcium and muscles become weak. Without the protection of earth’s atmosphere, astronauts may be affected by harmful rays from the sun.

Q5. What is space?’
Ans. Space is the name we give to the region beyond our planet, Earth, which may stretch forever. Space and its content are called universe.
