Astrophysics, the scientific study of the universe offer the pathway for us to understand and explore space and unravel mysteries of the universe (a vast place full of galaxies, stars, and planets). Astrophysics provides insights into the fundamental forces and phenomena that shapes our cosmic surrounding. In this blog post, We will embark on a journey of exploration, delve into the World of Astrophysics and uncover incredible discoveries and advancement in the Field. 1. Star A star is an astronomical object comprising a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. It  is a large ball of burning gas in space. Stars appear to us as small points of light in the sky on clear nights. •The Nearest Star to Earth is the Sun. 2. Cosmic Mysteries The mysteries of the cosmos continue to captivate and challenge scientists worldwide. From the enigmatic nature of dark matter and dark energy to the search for extraterrestrial life, each cosmic mystery holds the potential to reshape our

Introduction Plastic becoming the new ‘fish’ swimming in our seas, rivers the new garbage dumps, animals choking to death on bottles, and innocent tortoises tangled up in bags; this is what humanity has done to our breathtaking ocean; genocide of the beautiful marine life we have been granted. 75 to 199 million tons of plastic waste are currently in our oceans, with a further 33 billion pounds of plastic entering the marine environment every single year. Can you imagine how many innocent animals mistake plastic for food? Death has wrapped its claws around 100 million oceanic animals each year from plastic waste alone and this number keeps increasing. Not to mention the 100,000 others that die after getting entangled in plastic yearly. That is why every individual, company, and organization must work toward a healthier, sustainable environment. The Heart of the Problem: Plastic But to address this critical issue, the essence of plastic must be firstly understood. Plastic is a polym

Climate change is a Global issue that affects every living being on the Planet. In this blog post, We will explore the effects of Climate Change on different ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. I will discuss how rising temperatures and extreme weather events are affecting the survival of plants and animals alongside highlighing the importance of the biodiversity and how it contributes to the health of our planet. Finally, I will provide some tips on how Individuals can help reduce their carbon footprint and protect biodiversity. Effect of Climate Change on different Ecosystems & Species that inhabit them 1. Increased Forest fire caused by warmer temperature Nearly all land areas are seeing more hot days and heat waves since Warmer temperatures are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature posing many risks to human beings and all other forms of life on Earth. It is important to note that "Wildfires start more easily and spread rapidly whe

  Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism . It  contains the instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce and is mostly known as the  master blueprint for life that constitutes the genetic material in all organisms. History DNA was first recognized and identified by the Swiss biologist  Johannes Friedrich Miescher  in 1869  during his research on white blood cells . The double helix structure of a DNA molecule was later discovered through the experimental data by James Watson and Francis Crick. Finally, it was proved that DNA is responsible for storing genetic information in living organisms. Structure DNA is made of  two polynucleotide chains(or strands)  composed of simpler  m onomeric  units called N ucleotides   that coil around each other in opposite directions to form a double helix. These DNA strands are  held together by hydrogen bond. Nucleotides are the basic build
