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.

We know that blackholes exist. One of the types of blackholes, is roughly on the scale of the mass of our Sun. They form when the large-scale ones die. Then there are supermassive blackholes 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 own Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive blackhole that is 4 million times the mass of 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 own galaxy. In this episode of Kainaati Gup Shup, astrophysicist Salman Hameed discusses how astronomers discovered this mid-size blackhole.
