A space quiz conducted under the aegis of QuNITe NIT Jamshedpur

2. Question 42!
The Answer to this Question has literally been the answer to all our problems since quite some time now.
• The Sun’s X is the outermost part of the Sun’s atmosphere. The X is usually
hidden by the bright light of the Sun's surface. That makes it difficult to see
without using special instruments. However, the X can be viewed during a total
solar eclipse. It extends from the top of the chromosphere outwards until it
merges with the interstellar medium some tens of astronomical units out from
the Sun. The X is a very rarefied plasma (mixture of ions and electrons) whose
temperature can reach two or three million degrees.
• Give Me X.

8. Question 2
Direct to Team 2
• Until 1923, scientists thought that the entire universe was just our milkyway-
until astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the astronomical feature
known as X, a fuzzy spot in the night sky is actually an entire other galaxy.
Overnight the size of the universe was effectively doubled. He made his
discovery from the Hooker telescope built atop a mountain in California. It was
the first mountain top telescope in the world.
• X is a barred spiral galaxy, which is approximately at a distance of 2.5 million
Lightyears from Earth. Give me X.

Direct to Team 4
• These two images are of the same
brand of fish and it is called as a
blobfish. It is sometimes also
referred to as the saddest animal on
the planet because of how it looks
after being caught. If a human is on
the moon without any kind of
protective equipment, he could also
become very much similar to the
blobfish. What is the reason behind
this?

obnoxious odours in outer space. His task has much larger implications than
just making sure astronauts don’t have to deal with unpleasant smells. By
preventing distracting odors from being sent to space, Aldrich ensures that
astronauts will be able to smell dangerous situations like a chemical leak or
something burning.
• However The name of the designation he serves at NASA is quite interesting.

• Traveling by balloon to the edge of space may sound like something from an
H.G. Wells novel, but X plans to do just that by the end of 2024. A company
called Exclusive Resorts said eight of its members will be on one of the first
near-space voyages. X will launch before sunrise at NASA’s Kennedy Space
Center and then soar to an altitude of more than 100,000 feet.
• The balloon, which measures the length of a football stadium, is flown by a
pilot and carries up to eight passengers inside a pressurized capsule. Instead
of cumbersome astronaut suits, the space tourists or “explorers,” will be
seated in plush, reclining chairs, with access to a refreshments bar.

This particular probe was launched in 2018 and can be
literally said to be the first project to literally fly through
the corona of the Sun
