Second Alignment Plane Of Solar System Discovered

 

A study of comet motions indicates that the solar system has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point where they are farthest from the Sun, tend to fall close to either the well-known ecliptic plane where the planets reside or a newly discovered 'empty ecliptic.'

This has important implications for models of how comets originally formed in the solar system.

Any Thing for the Essentials - A Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

Searching for the light in the dark

Like in the night with hope to awake

As in each beginning of dawn

For most people in this world it is not fun.

 

The shoulders are drooped with weight of darkness

And praying in the sanctum for Angel to bless

For not all the gold in this world

But to soothe our bodies from anger of hunger.

 

So empty streets could filled with life

With dreams of people taking shape

As without the bare essentials

It is like ship is sailing without sails.

Ingenious Indians - A Poem by Venkatesh M.R.


We live by the sword believing in God

Being always our culture proud

Facing every day with love and faith

In life to pass the testing gate.

 

Comedy and tragedy is part of the story

To face and reach the glory

As only when you dive deep into Ocean

You get the knowledge vision

 

So striving through heart and soul

We play life’s different role

To one day to reach the goal

Ingenious while looking whole.

"Exciting Signs Of Possible Presence Of Life": Scientist On Venus Find


The atmosphere of Venus contains traces of phosphine gas -- which on Earth is associated with living organisms -- scientists said on Monday, in fresh insight into conditions on our nearest planetary neighbour.

Conditions on Venus are often described as hellish with daytime temperatures hot enough to melt lead and an atmosphere comprised almost entirely of carbon dioxide.

Scientists Estimate Turbulence Parameters Over Central Himalayas


For the first time, scientists have been able to estimate the air turbulence parameters in the lower troposphere over the central Himalayan region, which is likely to make weather predictions more accurate and help prevent air traffic disasters.

The study by scientists at the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), which works under the government's Department of Science and Technology (DST), has been published in Radio Science journal.

13-Million-Year-Old Fossil Ape Discovered In J&K's Udhampur

 

An international team of researchers has unearthed a 13-million-year-old fossil of a newly discovered ape species in Jammu and Kashmir's Udhampur District, which is the earliest known ancestor of the modern-day gibbon.

The finding, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, fills a major void in the ape fossil record and provides important new evidence about when the ancestors of today's gibbon migrated to Asia from Africa.
