The Solar Transit Of Venus Presented A Spectacular Show In The Space
In a rare space event, Venus, the second closest planet from the sun, passed in front of the sun on 6 June 2012.The view at the time the Venus was crossing though the Sun was incredible, as a tiny black dot appeared on the solar surface.Venus is 100th of the diameter of the sun so while moving across from one side to the other, just a black spot placed over on the disc of the sun. The celestial phenomenon which repeats itself in more than 100 year, will now be rewitnessed only in 2117.
Largest Database Of Martian Impact Craters
A University of Colorado Boulder team recently finished counting, outlining and cataloguing 635,000 impact craters on Mars — the single largest database ever compiled of impacts on a planet in our solar system.
March 7 Solar Flare Is Strongest Eruption Yet
The powerful March 7 flare, which earned a classification of X5.4 based on the peak intensity of its X-rays, is the strongest eruption so far observed by Fermi’s Large Area Telescope (LAT).
China launched Its Fourth Human Spaceflight Shenzhou-9 Into Space
China on 16 June 2012 launched its fourth human spaceflight Shenzhou-9 from the Jiuquan satellite launch centre in north-western Gansu state. The 30.3 feet long and 9.1 feet diameter, Shenzhou -9 spacecraft will conduct the first manned docking mission and set the foundation for Chinese plans to build a space station by 2020.
China Sent Its First Woman Astronaut Liu Yang Into Space
Shenzhou-9 space mission also holds significance as its crew members comprise three astronauts including China’s first woman astronaut Liu Yang.Liu Yang, a cargo pilot in the People’s Liberation Army air force, is the first Chinese female astronaut, who has been sent on the space mission.
Aerial Microwave Radar Gauge Installed At Channel Mouth At Machilipatnam
To predict cyclones and Tsunamis Aerial Microwave Radar Gauge was installed at channel mouth at Machilipatnam.Though a collaborative project jointly implemented by DMS-SVH college of engineering, is association with Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and National Institute of Ocean Graphy(NIO),Goa,Downward looking Aerial Microwave Radar Gauge was installed to measure accurate sea level.The sea level gets influenced by atmospheric pressure,wind etc. Following the depression there us a rise in the sea level.Under the Indo-French collaborative project of the ISRO, the NIO ,Goa has established a network of sea level gauge across the Indian coast and islands.
Scientists Create Bone From Fat Cell
For the first time , scientists have developed new bone from fresh an purified fat stem cell. The new procedure carried out on an animal model, is also hoped to be applied to produce other tissues, including heart,skin and cartilage, a break through which they may say one day eliminate the need for painful bone grafts that use material taken from the patient.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
The red list of threatened species, prepares by the International union for conservation of nature (IUNC) has listed 132 species of plants and animals as critically Endangered, he most threatened category, from India.
Indian Scientist gets U.S Patent For Cancer Treatment
A Scientist hailing from Hyderabad and his colleagues have invented a system in which nano particles carrier the payload of anti cancer drug releases it only in the cancerous cells around.The cutting edge research done in the united states has been patented recently.The nano technologist Rao papineni their to correspondent on phone from U.S.
German Research House For Research And Innovation To Be Launched in New Delhi
The German research foundation (DFG) newdelhi will, on October 26 and 27, launch the German research house for research and innovation(DWIH) that will serve as a one stop for the Indian science community to know about research and science organizations in Germany and funding opportunities available to carry out research there.with their, India will become the 5th country to have the science house,U.S, Russia, Japan and BRazil already have such facilities.THe first German house was started in2009 in the U.S.
Japan to Restart Of 2 N – Reactors
Japan on June 16,2012 approved the resumption of nuclear power operations at two reactors despite mass public opposition, he first to come back on line after they were all shut down following the fukushima crisis .Prime minister Yoshihiko Noda announced the government’s decision at a meeting with keep ministers, giving the go-ahead to two reactors operated by kansai Electrical Power co in western Japan.
Scientists Grow New Vein from Girl’s Stem Cell
For the first rime, Scientist led by an Indian – origin researcher have successfully replaced a major blood vessel in a 10 year old girl with a vein grown in a lab using her own stem cells. The pioneering transplant, published in The lancet, marks a further advance in growing body parts in laboratory and offers hopes for patients who lack suitable veins for dialysis or bypass surgery.In the landmark research, a team from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden took a vein from a dead man, stripped of its own cells and then bathed in stem cells from girl, who was suffering from portal vein obstruction.There was a ‘ striking’ improvement in her transplantation. This is the future for tissue engineering where we can make tailor-made organs in the lab.
India Installed Nuclear Submarine
India has successfully installed nuclear reactor in the indigenous nuclear submarine “INS Arihant’ on 17 June 2012 followed by trails. With the launched of INS arihant, India has already joined the league of those six nations who operate nuclear submarines – US, Russia ,china ,France and Britain. India has , for the firsts time, built a miniature nuclear reactor.
