A recent post by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has left internet users stunned. The space agency, on 11 January, had shared an image of a supernova remnant (SNR), which had been formed due to a massive star explosion.

Check the viral photo here. 

The picture shows a swirl of various colours such as blue, purple, red and yellow, which represent different elements, forming an orb-like structure. The SNR stands out from the multitude of stars surrounding it due to its colours.

According to NASA, most of the oxygen in the universe is produced from supernova explosions like the one in the picture. Such events can generate oxygen capable of fuelling thousands of solar systems.

As per the official website of NASA, SNRs accelerate cosmic rays at velocities very close to the speed of light. They also distribute heavy elements throughout the galaxy and release a great amount of energy, heating up the universe.

Such explosions are also crucial for sustaining life on Earth, as essential elements like iron and oxygen come from these explosions.

The image was collected with the help of the space agency’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. It has garnered over 15 lakh likes till date. Many people have called the photo “epic”, while others have asked questions about how far the SNR is from Earth.

This is not the only post by NASA that has gone viral in recent times. A few days ago, the agency had posted a visualisation video of the Monkey Head Nebula. The video received much appreciation from Instagram users, with many being left awestruck by the visuals.

The Monkey Head Nebula lies approximately 6,400 light-years away from Earth. Also known as the NCG 2174, it is a star forming region where the newly formed celestial bodies illuminate the centre of the nebula through radiation from the surrounding gases.

In 2014, the nebula was imaged by NASA’s Hubble telescope for its 24th anniversary.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
