EXTREME UNIVERSE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE VISIT THE HOTTEST, PUFFIEST, AND MOST MASSIVE PLACES

Scientists have discovered a lot of amazing places beyond Earth's starry night sky. A light year is about 6 trillion miles, which is mind-blowing! One of the first places they looked was a quasar. A quasar isn't a star, it's a distant Galaxy. It gets its power from a supermassive black hole in the center. The disk of matter around the black hole creates friction, and this heat makes you feel cozy. Remember to pack sunscreen and lotion, as the temperature at the heart of the quasar is quite high.

Quasar can reach temperatures of 18 trillion degrees Fahrenheit; it also shines a hundred times brighter than all the stars in its Galaxy. Well, it's time to cool down - minus 457 degrees Fahrenheit to be precise. This is the temperature of a young planetary nebula called the boomerang nebula. It sits 5,000 light years away from Earth and was captured by NASA's Hubble Telescope in 1998. It's composed of gas coming from a star near the end of its life cycle. The windier it is, the colder its temperature! Researchers were just impressed to find out that the temperature of the boomerang nebula is just one degree above absolute zero, Kelvin. That should be the coldest possible temperature! This is the point where all molecular and atomic activity stops. Makes you want to crank up the thermostat on your spaceship! Next you'll be going to a place where you might not want to go. Sorry, so it's the most massive black hole in this giant Galaxy some 10.4 billion light years from our planet. Its mass is 66 billion times greater than that of the sun, enough to make our Galaxy's supermassive black hole feel ashamed. It has a mass of merely 4.5 million times that of the Sun, but you better not get near any of them as they have quite an appetite - scientists can determine their rate of expansion and those black holes have quite an appetite according to astronomers. If they're real, their mass is estimated to be greater than 100 billion times that of the Sun!

Now, it was time to snack on something lighter, a spaceship entered the Kepler 51 system, the crew knew that they had been traveling through space for days, and their bodies were craving something fresh and nutritious. The Kepler 51 system was known for its abundance of plant life, and the crew was eager to explore this new world. As they landed on T, one of the planets in the system, they were greeted by a lush forest filled with exotic fruits and vegetables. The crew wasted no time in gathering these delicious treats and preparing a light snack. As they sat down to eat, they marveled at the beauty of their surroundings. The vibrant colors of the plants and trees were unlike anything they had ever seen before. It was a moment of pure bliss as they savored each bite of their snack. In that moment, they realized that even in the vastness of space, there is still beauty and wonder to be found. And sometimes all it takes is a simple snack to remind us of that fact.

A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field. They emit bursts of X-rays and gamma rays, making them one of the most energetic phenomena in the universe. While they are not visible to the naked eye, scientists have studied them extensively using telescopes and other instruments. Visiting a magnetar would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It would offer an opportunity to witness firsthand the power and beauty of our universe. However, it is important to note that these objects are incredibly dangerous due to their intense radiation levels.

In conclusion, while visiting a beach resort or bustling city may be enjoyable, there is something truly captivating about visiting a magnetar. The sheer power and energy emitted by these objects make them an irresistible draw for those seeking adventure and exploration beyond our planet Earth.

That's all for now folks, see you on the next article!
