Ronthepon have heard somewhat right,The recent discoveries suggest that GRB's aren't caused by collision or explosion of neutron stars surrounding the galaxies,as explosions are now found to be coming from deep space.

 

Hypernova is phenomena related with black holes those of very starting of universe.When in a galaxy (generally irregular galaxy) ,birth of a very big star takes place,it tends to spend all of it's energy in just a million year or so. After that it develops into a black hole which sends its enormous energy in the form of two perpendicular beams of gamma rays.

What do you call a galaxy sterilizing cosmic event?

It is a Gamma ray burst ( but rarely in galaxies of proper shape)

 

 

The quasar which appears to be dynamically dominated by a magnetic field internally anchored to its central, rotating supermassive compact object ,is called what?

 

This might be one of the easiest.

Ha!:cup: That's MECO or Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object

 

So,U obviously like quizzing and is this thread (might not).I have got a new Apple Problem-

 

Give examples of some sattelites which retrograde and have a tendency to crash into mother planet.

 

 

This is far diverse from core cosmology and do come in planetary sciences.

Retrograde motion refers to the appearance of an object in the sky to move backwards instead of forwards in it's rotation around an object (say like the earth) when in fact the object is not revolving around the object in question. Thus 1000 years ago it was believed that the earth was the center of the galaxy and that certain stars (now known as planets) had the ability to change direction and move backwards along their orbital path around the earth for short bits of time every couple of years. This is actually caused by the earth's orbit lapping the orbit of these other planets (or being lapped in the case of mars and venus).

I'm unaware of actual retrograde motion being possible for a satellite of a planet and it's parent planet.

Oh! my god u are going too much scientific about it.

Just concentrate on my second statement of question u will have answer surely.

 

Clue- our Moon isn't that one.

 

Mother planet is planet around which that sattelite is revolving.

Retrograding is revolving in opposite direction (like west to east instead of east to west.)

So, try again.
