Delicious Love πŸ’›

 
Food is not simply a stuff that people eat when their hungry. Food is awesome, delicious, inventive, colorful,  and so much more. A mutual love of food can bring different people together .There's nothing better than having your whole family  around the same table for dinner. Food is a catalyst that brings people together. 

You can always turn to food to make you feel better, even if it is just for a little bit.  
Food makes everything more fun and it's a great way to get friends together  Remember of Having a raw Mango with chilli powder and salt  we will mix it together ..Eyes will turn red because of spiciness but we will enjoy it thoroughly.

 
Sipping coconut water  in between a travel is a kind of happiness ... also when the vendor breaks the coconut and softly take that sweet tender part ,  that melting bite is a pure bliss.

After a hectic class hours , the first bite of  our canteen Samosa will give a heavenly feel . Nothing is more heartening and as ludicrously irresistible than a hot samosa.

Home made Biryani's on Sundays are always special ,nothing can beat the feel of taking a nap after a full stomach with completely satiated taste buds.

Making food on our own gives us Special feel ...after serving the food to our loved ones we will eagerly wait for their first reaction these are the little and beautiful things that gives us immense happiness.
 
On summer days , when we are completely drained out , A Glass of chill rose milk can bring butterflies in our stomach .
I love the last part of Ice cream cones that chocolate filled layer after having the cold creamy part this chocolate layer will give a kind of warmth that's a wonderful feel .

So, enjoy your feasting. It’s a love that can really last. Keep eating !

Christmas Star


A rare, spectacular sky event is about to unfold near the end of this year & it’s the greatest conjunction ever witnessed in our lifetime! 
Jupiter and Saturn will form rare "Christmas Star" on winter solstice
On December 21, Jupiter and Saturn will appear closer in Earth’s night sky that hasn't been seen in roughly 800 years. Astronomers are calling it the Great Conjunction of 2020. 
Jupiter and Saturn get extremely close to one another. This occurs because Jupiter orbits the sun every 12 years, while Saturn's orbit takes 30 years — every couple of decades, Jupiter laps Saturn, according to NASA 2020's conjunction is especially rare — the planets haven't been observed this close together.
Before 2020 comes to a close, Jupiter and Saturn will be so close that they will appear to form a "double planet." sky.Humanity won’t have to wait quite as long to see the solar system’s two largest planets repeat this month's performance, though. Another Great Conjunction will occur in 2080. Of course, many of us alive today won’t be around then, so it would be wise to soak in this show while you can.
Here are the great conjunctions dates from 2000 to 2100 viewed from our planet Earth.

May 28, 2000
December 21, 2020
October 31, 2040
April 7, 2060
March 15, 2080
September 18, 2100

This year’s great conjunction will be very special due to the close proximity of the two planets. On December 21, 2020.
Don't miss it guys !!

How Did the Solar System Form?

In Today's post lets see how the  Solar system has formed ? 


The solar system is a pretty busy place. It got all kinds of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets zipping around our Sun.
But how did this busy stellar neighborhood come to be?

Our story starts about 4.6 billion years ago, with a wispy cloud of stellar dust.
This cloud was part of a bigger cloud called a nebula.

At some point, the cloud collapsed—possibly because the shockwave of a nearby exploding star caused it to compress.

When it collapsed, it fell in on itself, creating a disk of material surrounding it.

Finally the pressure caused by the material was so great that hydrogen atoms began to fuse into helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. Our Sun was born!

Even though the Sun gobbled up more than 99% of all the stuff in this disk, there was still some material left over.

" Bits of this material clumped together because of gravity. Big objects collided with bigger objects, forming still bigger objects. Finally some of these objects became big enough to be spheres—these spheres became planets and dwarf planets".

Rocky planets, like Earth, formed near the Sun, because icy and gaseous material couldn’t survive close to all that heat.
And like that, the solar system as we know it today was formed. 
This is the Story of our Solar System .

Where Do Old Satellites Go When They Die ?

We know satellites are used for research purpose and used by television companies for our own entertainment. 
Like every other machine, satellites do not last forever , eventually all satellites grow old, wear out, and die, just like old washing machines and vacuum cleaners . But what happens to them then ?


Two things can happen to old satellites:
depending on how high the satellite is. For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down. That way, it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere.

The second choice is to send the satellite even farther away from Earth. It can take a lot of fuel for a satellite to slow down enough to fall back into the atmosphere. That is especially true if a satellite is in a very high orbit. 

These objects might not entirely burn up before reaching the ground. There is a solution—spacecraft operators can plan for the final destination of their old satellites to make sure that any debris falls into a remote area. 
This place even has a nickname—the Spacecraft Cemetery! It’s in the Pacific Ocean and is pretty much the farthest place from any human civilization you can find.
“Graveyard orbits”
What about those higher satellites we blast farther away? Those we send into a “graveyard orbit.” This is an orbit almost 200 miles farther away from Earth than the farthest active satellites. And it’s a whopping 22,400 miles above Earth!
some of these satellites will remain in orbit for a very, very long time. Perhaps someday in the future, humans may need to send “space garbage trucks” to clean these up. But for now, at least, they will be out of the way.

Happiness is ...

There are so many things around us to be grateful for !

Greeting the New day with a stretch and a yawn ☀︎
( waking up by the time you wish is a kind of blessing )

A first cup of morning coffee ☕︎
with a perfect sweet and bitterness !

scribbling on a clean black board γ‚·︎.
(Remember , In those inspection days we use to clean the whole class and black board with a wet cloth , would love to write on the shiny clean black board with a soft white chalk ).

Happiness is 

Riding cycle in the rain on a clean road ☔︎
Running in hand to hand for no reasonπŸ˜€
Watching sunshine through the leaves✨
Watching stars from the quiet , dark spot 🌠
Finding the missing glasses πŸ€“
The sound of wind chimes ✨
writing our initials on the beach sand !
When the theatre lights goes down ! 
A chill soda after a heavy lunch !
That unexplainable happiness when our Prayers get answered ! πŸ’›

If you've had a rough day and nothing seems to be going  right , Take a moment to think of the little things that are going right .✨πŸ’•

Why the Space is cold ?



Have you ever thought why the space remains cold though the Sun is so hot at it's Centre ?
It Sound's so mystical !
But the fact is so simple , Since there is no matter to absorb heat, the temperature of the objects in the space will remain the same for a long time.
Hot objects stay hot and cold things stay cold.
But, when the sun’s radiations enter the earth’s atmosphere, there is a lot of matter to energize. Hence, we feel the radiation of the sun as heat.

Even when a rock is heated above 100°C by the sun’s radiation, the space around it will not absorb any temperature because of the same reason. "When there is no matter, temperature transfer does not take place" That's the thing !
Hence, even when the sun is hot, space remains cold as ice !

And Here is a one more intersting thing about  us and Stars . 
We are the way to know the universe , Atoms in our body travelled long way from a Supernova explosion . So literally we are a Star Stuff !
We are not simply human beings evolved from nature. Nature built up because of the collision of stars .
 we are extremely lucky to experience this planet of paradise. Every breath we take reminds us that the universe's consciousness is living inside of us. ✨

Stray Star : A Cosmic Glow ✨

Something New and Interesting !
STRAY STAR : A Stray star  is a massive one  and does not bound to any galaxies in the Universe , also it does not possess the properties of a Star.
Stray stars are also called as intergalactic stars or rogue stars.

These Rogue Stars  are "homeless". They were thrown out of their home galaxies because of some particular significant events .

Stray Stars are  Scattered in Space. These stars have been stripped from their parent galaxies by gravitational interactions ! 
These Stars looks like a  Glow of light in the Sky ."The CIBER rocket experiment detected this  infrared background glow in the sky" Large number of stars flung out as galaxies.
And This is so common in our universe , Our own Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in about 5 billion years, tossing stars out into space. Though the process is gravitationally chaotic, the stars are far away from each other and will not directly collide.

It is commonly believed that Stray stars may primarily have originated from extremely small galaxies, since it is easier for stars to escape a smaller galaxy's gravitational pull, than that of a large galaxy.

The total light produced by these stray stars is about equal to the background light we get from counting up individual galaxies !

The first Stray stars were discovered in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.
As of 2015, approximately 675 Stray stars have been discovered at the edge of the Milky Way, towards the Andromeda Galaxy.
This Stray stars may explain strange cosmic glow .

A recent image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of a cluster of galaxies shows the same type of star glow as seen by CIBER only at smaller scales.

A Fresh Start

The mind is everything. What you think, you become.
– The Buddha
And it’s not just “what” you think but “how” you think!

The power of positive thinking has a basis in physics. Since everything is energy and everything has a specific vibration

The happy, positive, successful people choose to see beauty and blessings in everything. They see the silver lining and the opportunities.

Life truly is what you make it.
Make it positive!
In this tough time we may have many unshared and untold feelings within us!
It may be unnamed too !! 
The initial period of Lockdown seems bit relaxing but it sucks now !

Right now I wish , overlooking a gushing river with clean water surrounded by tall pine trees and listening to sounds of the wind blowing through them breathing the fresh mountain air.
Missing those random vacations !
Yet !
we can find some happiness in little things  too ,
 A spectacular Sunset ! there a days when the clouds paint a stunning picture and they bring the best out of sunlight by ironically blocking the sun. Such moments make us forget time and everything else.

I love listening to songs while lying down on the bed with a calming soft light enough to make a calm mood . Takes me to a different world and helps to forget all the worries  and thoughts that might be crowding inside my mind . A way to freedom !

Sometimes, you just need to feel something. To awaken you from the blur of daily living. 
 This Sunday gave me some Spare time to relax myself and it feels great to share my thoughts through writing . 
I felt a need to write and I think this is the Perfect time to share it again . Sending you all good vibes !

The Oort Cloud


Our solar system has number of sources of asteroids , comets and other bodies. Here The  Oort cloud is one of those ! let's see in deep !

The Oort Cloud is a  Predicted shell of icy objects that lie beyond the Kuiper Belt, It is a spherical shell of cometary bodies that surrounds the sun .
It  is a giant spherical shell surrounding the rest of the solar system. It is like a big, thick-walled bubble made of icy pieces of  the sizes of mountains and sometimes larger. The Oort Cloud might contain billions, or even trillions, of objects in it .
"The Oort Cloud is the boundary of the Sun's gravitational influence, where orbiting objects can turn around and return closer to our Sun."
This Oort cloud are not capable of supporting life . But for all that it's big and thick ,scientists have never actually seen the Oort cloud Because it is  too far away but it's existence has many proofs .
It's beautiful !!

August's Night Sky



August 2020 is going to be a Treat for astronomy buff's. Step outside anytime this month just before the stroke of midnight and you’ll be able to see two bright naked-eye planets. 
August gives us a better view of Jupiter and Saturn in the evening sky. That’s because these two worlds remain bright and beautiful throughout August, yet appear higher up in the sky at nightfall. 

For the first time since the year 2000, Jupiter and Saturn are going to  show their great conjunction in 2020, Astronomers use the word conjunction to describe meetings of planets and other objects on our sky’s dome. Here we  use the term great conjunction to describe a meeting of the king planet Jupiter and golden Saturn. This August 2020 presents a fine time to start watching these worlds.

August 2020 presents 4 of the 5 bright solar system planets. Catch Jupiter and Saturn at nightfall and throughout most of the night, Mars between late evening and dawn, Venus in the dawn sky. Mercury from the morning to evening sky, and is pretty much lost in the solar glare.

Be curious ! Look up and Stay Amazed !

Venus : The hot and hellish



Venus, is a gorgeous naked - eye planet hanging like a diamond in the night sky.
you know what ! Venus is called as Earth's twin , because of their similarities in size , Mass , density and gravity. Both have thick atmosphere with clouds . but In venus , the clouds are made of poisonous sulfuric acid and atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide . It is a planet with no evidence of water.


Venus , it is also a Volcanic planet , there are 1,600  volcanoes on its surface, A new study indentified 37  active volcanic structures on venus was published in the journal Natural Geoscience on July 20, 2020 . It shows that Venus is a  Geologically active planet.


Do you know why it is so bright ? It's  thick clouds reflects most of the sunlight back into space.

 It is the Slowest spinning planet  in the solar system . A day on Venus is longer than year on earth ! Unbelievable right? Yes but it is ! 

 Although it is claimed to be a  Twin of Earth  , it is impossible to sustain a life on venus because of above reasons .
   Venus : Beautiful but inhospitable world!

The Beauty of Black holes

The beauty and Majesty of a starry sky is always amazing , we wonder at its splendor. Cluster of stars like diamonds emerge out of the dark sky , everything is beautiful about the universe , Astronomy is truly an incredible experience .

In our Universe , The great mystery and a mind blowing area to explore is A Black hole . 
Black holes are fascinating as well as baffling , they are the most peculiar objects in the Universe.

A Black hole is basically a spot that contains a massive gravitational pull, Nothing returns from a black hole not even a light can escape , that's why black hole appears black .
let's see how the black holes are formed ! 
Black holes are formed when a cluster of huge stars merge and collapses , the resulting gravitation creates a mass black hole. Black hole , a kind of a starry gravyard. It is located at the centre of the Galaxy ,  The mass of one of these black holes are 10 to 24 times massive than the sun. 

Will our Sun become a black hole ?
 The answer is No , because it is too small and it is not massive enough to become a black hole.

This is the First ever image of Black hole Published by NASA in April 10,2019 .
This image reveals a central black hole of  Messier 87 , it is one of the massive Galaxy . 

" Nature has conspired to let us see something  we thought was invisible "

The Planet of Luck and Charity



Today's blog is about.. the big brother of Earth "The Jupiter " .
Jupiter is the largest and fastest spinning planet  in the solar system probably everyone knows it ! you know which is the interesting part ? We can see Jupiter with our own eyes..If you see a really bright star high in the sky , then you're looking at Jupiter.

 Have you ever thought why do some planets have rings around them and our earth doesn't ? Because the massive planets like Jupiter have dozens of moons around them and if a moon comes too close to the planet , it'll be ripped apart by the planet's gravity and will become a ring. Whereas our pity Earth has only one Moon so it doesn't have a ring around it.

Personally , I like Jupiter than other planets ..because if it is not there, then our Earth could hitten by so many asteroids and rocks. So we must stay thankful for it's great gravity.

Staring into outer space makes me feel energised which literally leads to great imaginations and makes me free from all the worries of our bounded humanity. 


Life in 20's

In our childhood's we used to think 20's will be the best period of our life right ?  Like finishing up the studies, gra...
