The Earth Has a Second Moon, And No One Noticed All This While

Researchers have discovered that an object, now dubbed 2020 CD3, has been gravitationally bound to earth for about three years now. And it is only now that we have discovered it. It was on February 19 that astronomers at the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona spotted a dim object moving quickly across the sky somewhere close to earth. The same object was then observed by researchers at six more observatories around the world who confirmed the presence of what can now be considered a minimoon. The researchers say the new and perhaps temporary minimoon is probably between 1.9 meters and 3.5 metres across, which is around the same size as a mid-size car.

Astronomers say that the new minimoon orbit isn’t stable, and the 2020 CD3 could eventually catapult itself away from Earth. “It is heading away from the Earth-moon system as we speak,” says Grigori Fedorets at Queen’s University Belfast in the UK, told the New Scientist. Incidentally, this isn’t the first-time earth has had an additional moon, albeit temporarily. In 2006, the 2006 RH120 remained within the earth’s gravitational pull between September 2006 and June 2007 before it managed to wriggle free. Chances are, this minimoon will too.

The Beauty of Serpent Goddess Nagavalli - A Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

The teeth shining like pearls
Her smile sparkle with a glow
With her lips tender as rose petals
And her nose beautiful as plantain .

Her eyes glitter like stars
With cheeks blooming like moon
And her each step in serene breeze
So gentle that carves in our heart a place.

The beauty that protects human kind
Guiding us in our difficulties like a friend
When we worship the goddess with faith
And not leaving everything to fate.

A Dying Star One Thousand Times Bigger Than The Sun Could Soon Explode

One of the brightest stars in the sky has been noticeably getting dimmer. Betelgeuse, a reddish star that is part of the Orion constellation, may be entering a pre-supernova phase - where it gets fainter before collapsing in a fiery explosion. A supernova is a powerful stellar explosion that occurs when a star 'dies'.

According to a report in Slate, over the last few months, Betelgeuse has gone from being the 12th brightest star in the sky to about the 20th. Located 642.5 light-years from Earth, this star, if it explodes, could be the closest supernova observed by humans.

Songs of Harp - An Inspirational Poem With Music Of Harp As Theme by Venkatesh M.R.

Each string plays the song of life
From pain and sufferings to get relief
When death looks bang in eye
Making our emotions lightly to fly.

It got the tunes for sorrow, desire and ego
And it plays the music to be happy and let go
Being in the path where life begins with music
With songs of birds when happiness we seek.

The harp plays serenely day and night
For every soul to fill with light
So for tomorrow you need not wait
Every day the songs of life are bright.

Swami Vivekananda - A Poem by Venkatesh M.R.

The man who preached joy and discipline

On which you could dream and lean

To flow our thoughts like majestic river

And reach the Ocean of consciousness.

While flowing through the jungle world

In the path some tigers of greedy people may roar

And some try to cause misery untold

But river never turns back and so keep awake.

For being blessed and possessing fulfilled life

 Where having in yourself strong
belief

So in the vast expansion of your life Ocean

You  could find love, affection
and devotion.
