• Falcon Heavy – Up, up and away(and back) in few days. What should you know about this beautiful beast?

    Falcon Heavy is by far the powerful rocket to have been manufactured. Thanks to SpaceX, it will liftoff on Feb 6 2018 from the launch pad 39A, located at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral  – the same one used by NASA’s Apollo moon missions making this one historical too. Although NASA is in-progress of building a much heavier rocket called SLS (Space Launch System) which is expected to be completed only by 2020, SpaceX’s FH will still stand out due to less cost and reusable capability. What makes this so special? As already mentioned its of the powerful operational rocket to have ever built with less cost. It has…

  • New discoveries – yet again! 72 new galaxies found.

    Astronomers at the ESO (European Southern Observatory) have found 72 new galaxies hiding in the plain sight. This was observed by Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), a second generation instrument in development for the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the ESO. The galaxies were observed on the area in space called “Hubble Ultra Deep Field”, usually where many telescopes are pointed in search for such galaxies. But what makes MUSE different is that, it uses spectroscopy to break light into its component colors. And as it happens, these galaxies emits Lyman-alpha light which is a particular wavelength of ultraviolet light – which MUSE was able to detect unlike other telescope…
