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: https://www.youtube.com/@UCdIRtt8-Og1q99bkK5XBhoQ Subscribe to our Kids Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@KainaatKids Subscribe to our English Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@kainaatastronomyinenglish For more information about Kainaat Studios: https://www.kainaatstudios.com/ Sign up to our mailing list to get unseen content and hear special announcements! https://www.kainaatstudios.com/newsletter Follow us for more: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kainaatstudios Twitter https://twitter.com/KainaatStudios Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kainaatstudios/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kainaatstudios LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/kainaat Salman Hameed has a PhD in astronomy and is Charles Taylor Chair and Professor of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College, and a member of the Five College Astronomy Department (FCAD) in Massachusetts, USA.

🌌 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.

🌍 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. #europaclipper #nasa #scienceexplained #alienlife #extraterrestrial #astronomy #kainaatigupshup #astronomyadventures #jupiter #juice Subscribe to our NEW Kids English Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCdIRtt8-Og1q99bkK5XBhoQ Subscribe to our Kids Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@KainaatKids Subscribe to our English Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@kainaatastronomyinenglish For more information about Kainaat Studios: https://www.kainaatstudios.com/ Sign up to our mailing list to get unseen content and hear special announcements! https://www.kainaatstudios.com/newsletter Follow us for more: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kainaatstudios Twitter https://twitter.com/KainaatStudios Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kainaatstudios/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kainaatstudios LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/kainaat Salman Hameed has a PhD in astronomy and is Charles Taylor Chair and Professor of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College, and a member of the Five College Astronomy Department (FCAD) in Massachusetts, USA.

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 climate potentially suitable 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 harbored 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. #mars #astronomy #marsstunningvideo #nasa #lifeonmars #scienceexplained Subscribe to our Kids Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@KainaatKids Subscribe to our English Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@kainaatastronomyinenglish For more information about Kainaat Studios: https://www.kainaatstudios.com/ Sign up to our mailing list to get unseen content and hear special announcements! https://www.kainaatstudios.com/newsletter Follow us for more: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/kainaatstudios Twitter https://twitter.com/KainaatStudios Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kainaatstudios/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kainaatstudios LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/kainaat Salman Hameed has a PhD in astronomy and is Charles Taylor Chair and Professor of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College, and a member of the Five College Astronomy Department (FCAD) in Massachusetts, USA.
