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 Hubble Space Telescope has provided scientists with some incredible photographs of the distant universe, but it can't see Populations of galaxies from the very early universe are invisible to Hubble "eyes", so spotting them requires a different set of peepers.
An international collaboration of researchers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile as those eyes, looking back at the early universe and finding ancient galaxies that could reveal more about the nature of dark matter and supermassive black holes.
The research, published in the journal Nature on Aug. 7, found 39 ancient, huge galaxies from around 2 billion years after the dawn of the universe which aren't bright enough to see in the visible light spectrum.
By using ALMA and NASA's Spitzer space telescope, which observe the universe in infrared wavelengths, the research team were able to confirm the existence of the galaxies they suspected were hiding out at the farthest edges of the cosmos.
"The light from these galaxies is very faint with long wavelengths invisible to our eyes and undetectable by Hubble," explained Kotaro Kohno, a co-author on the paper and researcher at the University of Tokyo, in a press release.
On top of that, they are incredibly dusty, huge galaxies, which obscures them from Hubble's view.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
