Even George Lucas would be proud of this handiwork.
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has spotted a perfectly sideways galaxy 44 million light-years from Earth, known as NGC 5866.
According to the space agency, NGC 5866 has a "diameter of roughly 60,000 light-years" and appears differently than most galaxies (either spiral-shaped or thick disks of dust) because of our vantage point.
"Spitzer detects infrared light, and the red color here corresponds to an infrared wavelength typically emitted by dust," NASA said in a statement on its website.
"With a consistency similar to soot or thick smoke, the dust absorbs light from stars, then reemits light at longer wavelengths, including in infrared."
NASA added that the dust emission from NGC 5866 indicates "that there is a very flat ring or disk of dust circling the outer region of the galaxy."
NASA is showing off a new image of Jupiter that was snapped with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope that shows intricate details of the clouds in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
The image seen here was snapped on June 27, 2019.
In the image, we can see the iconic Gret Red Spot that is a giant storm that has been raging on Jupiter for many decades.
One notable feature of the image is the vibrant color of the clouds moving towards the Great Red Spot.
The raging storm that is the Great Red Spot is itself about the diameter of Earth and rolls counterclockwise between two bands of clouds.
The image does confirm that the Great Red Spot is continuing to shrink as it has done for the last 150 years.
NASA’s Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3) completed an initial set of tool operations designed by the Satellite Servicing Projects Division, making the idea of using water ice, oxygen or methane from other worlds as fuel for spacecraft seem plausible.
The ability to store and transfer cryogenic fuels will help enable interstellar voyages in the far future.
Currently, any spacecraft to far away destinations such as the Moon and Mars must carry all of its propellants with it from launch to termination.
NASA had to learn about this the hard way in April when a hardware issue during a Refueling Mission caused the cryogenic tanks to heat up unexpectedly and the gas had to be released.
“NASA’s proven experience and unique facilities are helping commercial companies mature their technologies at a competitive pace,” Jim Reuter, associate administrator of NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) said in a NASA statement.
“We’ve identified technology areas NASA needs for future missions, and these public-private partnerships will accelerate their development so we can implement them faster.”
The place where you complete most activities absorbs your feelings. That’s why bed creates you more lazy and restful even for studying as well. Organize your place for yourself in a manner that sets the mood for studying. Too much clutter and unclean beds definitely do not add to the mood.
After NASA’s Apollo 11 in 1969 which carried the first laser reflectors to the Moon, ISRO launched 2 tiny microlaser reflectors to the moon through Chandrayaan 2 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota on 22 July 2019 at 2.43 PM IST (09:13 UTC).
He referred lunar mission as a symbol of ” faith and fearlessness”, also praised how ISRO scientists dealt with technical snag while addressing Indians from ” Man ki Baat”
Chandrayaan which means ” Moon vehicle ” in Sanskrit is aimed to deliver rover on the plane close to the uncharted lunar South Pole with the intention of investing water and other sources of energy on the moon.
The payloads that include terrain mapping cameras to prepare a 3D map to analyze specific areas while a collimated large array soft x-ray spectrometer will map the majority of major rock-forming elements.
Along with orbiter and rover, the lander wholly built with homegrown technology.
Chandrayaan 2 consists of three segments: Orbiter, Rover, and Lander.
In addition to that, the Earth’s atmosphere, it shields the planet from too much of the sun’s energy.
Now, imagine, if you could put a solar panel into the Earth’s orbit at around 22,000 miles up.
See, the concept of space-based solar power was theorized 40 years back by a very renowned scientist named Peter Glaser.
After his discovery and in response to the periodical energy crises, the idea has since been adopted by the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, and some of the major aerospace companies and countries like Japan and India.
Many studies have shown that there is no technological barrier to start implementing space-based solar power.
The significant impediment has been identified as being economics because it might be a challenge to provide SBSP at a competitive price.
In this blog, you will come to know the reasons why Python is the best programming language for learning. You will also get the awareness as to why Python is highly sought after and widely implemented by the majority of the companies.
