Space Facts III

Image
Read on.....and yes! Thanks for following...... According to the best estimate of astronomers, 275 Million new stars are born every single day. There are stars in the known universe that are cold enough to be touched by the human hand. 😅 The Tadpole galaxy is a nickname for Galaxy UGC10214. The spiral galaxy is unlike others because it has a distorted shape caused by an interloper; a very blue, compact galaxy. The intruding blue galaxy left a long tail of debris (stars/gas) stretched over 280,000 light-years. Jupiter is so enormous that Earth couldn't even reach the size of the Great Red Spot which is apparently about twice its size. Everything in the universe will return to its position it is in today in 10^10^10^10^2.08 years according to the Poincare-Recurrence theorem. Thank You... Cheers...

Space Facts II

Glad that you're following the series... 😁 The closest star to the Sun has an Earth-sized planet orbiting in it's habitable zone. It rains metal and snows sulphuric acid on Venus. There is a hexagonal cloud pattern in Saturn's north pole. ​​A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field. The Sun may be older than the Earth, but the water we drink is older than the Sun. When you stand up too fast and get dizzy, it's because gravity has caused blood to collect in your legs, depriving your brain of oxygen. Thanks.... Cheers....

Space Facts Part I

Image
Who doesn't want to explore the space? Here are some interesting facts about things in space. Read on to know more..... Follow the series to know much more..... The slowest rotating planet is Venus, which takes 243.01 days to turn around. Einstein’s theory of general relativity shows that gravity not only pulls on matter, but also space and even ‘Time’ itself.!! The brightest star in each constellation is called the Alpha Star, the next brightest Beta, and so on. The Sun travels around the galaxy once every 200 million years – a journey of 100,000 light years.!!! It is predicted that, in our galaxy alone, there are over 500,000,000 planets capable of supporting life. Thank You... Cheers...

Oort Cloud

Image
The Oort Cloud is a theorised shell of icy objects that lie beyond the Kuiper Belt, as such the facts detailed on this page are hypothetical. Illustration   Position   Facts about the Oort Cloud Objects in the Oort Cloud are also referred to as Trans-Neptunian objects. This name also applies to objects in the Kuiper Belt. Some astronomers theorise that the Sun may have captured Oort Cloud cometary material from the outer disks of other stars that were forming in the same nebula as our star. The Oort Cloud is a reserve of cometary nuclei that contain ices dating back to the origin of the solar system. No one knows for sure how many objects exist in the Oort Cloud, but most estimates put it at around 2 trillion. The planetoid Sedna, discovered in 2003, is thought to be a member of the inner Oort Cloud. Astronomers think that long-period comets (those with orbital periods longer than 200 years) have their origins in the Oort Cloud. What is the Oort Cloud? The ...

5G

Image
What is 5G? 5G is the next generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace, or at least augment 4G LTE connection. Features and benefits of the 5G technology: Operate in  the millimeter wave spectrum (30-300 GHz)  which have the advantage of sending large amounts of data at very high speeds. Operate in  3 bands,  namely low, mid and high frequency spectrum. Reduced latency  will support new applications that leverage the power of 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence. Increased capacity  on 5G networks can minimize the impact of load spikes, like those that take place during sporting events and news events. Significance of the technology: India’s  National Digital Communications Policy 2018  highlights the  importance of 5G  when it states that the convergence of a cluster of revolutionary technologies including 5G, the cloud, Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, along with a growing start-up c...

FTTH Vs. FTTC Vs. FTTX

Image
There are different types of fibre optic cables that are available in the market. In case you are not aware, fibre optic cables are network cables with strands of glass fibre inside a casing. The cables are used for providing high-speed data and telecommunications services. Since there are different types of fibre cables, it gets difficult to pick the best one from the lot. One of the best features of all the fibre optic cables is a better and streamlined internet connection as compared to traditional copper wire cables. Some of the commonly used fibre optic cables are FTTP, FTTH and more. Follow the article to the end for detailed information on different types of fibre optic cables. FTTP/FTTH (Fibre-to-the-premises or fibre-to-the-home) These are two of the most common fibre optic cables you might have heard. In reality, both fibre optic cables have been designed for individual residences. FTTP and FTTH cables are directed to an individual home or premises by an internet service prov...

The Non-REM refers to deep sleep whereas REM stage is closer to wakefulness. In other words, it is the particular duration before we wake up from the sleep. At this stage alone most of the dream...

NavIC : The Indian version GPS

Image
Hi Peeps !!!  This is Boopathy .              The Indian Regional Navigation System is officially called as NavIC , which stands for Navigation with Indian Constellation. It is an independent and autonomous regional navigation system which has been designed by Indian Space Research Organization to provide accurate positioning in India. This Regional Geo-positioning system not only covers the country, also it extends 15,000 km around the Indian Boundaries. It aims to provide most accurate and precise location service to the Users.                                                        In 1999, During the Kargil war, the Pakistani troops entered into India, the primary thing sought by Indian Military was the space based Global Positioning System of America. But they denied it. This bitter experie...

Devil's Triangle: Science or Supernatural?

Image
Hi Peeps !!! This is Boopathy.                 Our World is full of awe and astonishment. There are so many mysteries happening around the world. Out of those, Bermuda Triangle ,also called as "Devil's triangle", is quite peculiar among others.                This Triangle is an area of the North Atlantic ocean between Bermuda to the north, Puerto Rico to the south and Florida to the west. Covering a triangular area of 5,00,000 sq.miles. Several planes and ships had been disappeared when they were about to cross this location. Till now, there is no information about those lost ships and planes.              In 1492, Christoper Columbus, an Italian Explorer told that during his voyage he found a great flame of fire with strange lights. He also recorded that his compass acts strangely. It got malfunctioned.              In...
