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.

 

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.

 

Bose-Einstein Quantum "Fifth State Of Matter" Seen For 1st Time In Space

Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) -- the existence of which was predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian mathematician Satyendra Nath Bose almost a century ago -- are formed when atoms of certain elements are cooled to near absolute zero (0 Kelvin, minus 273.15 Celsius).
