With ground-based images from Uranian equinox and JWST's eyes to view it now, the planet comes into better view than ever before.

When it comes to space, there's a problem with our human drive to go all the places and see all the things. A big problem. It's, well, space. It's way too big. Even travelling at the maximum speed the Universe allows, it would take us years to reach our nearest neighbouring star.

But another human drive is finding solutions to big problems. And that's what NASA engineer David Burns has been doing in his spare time. He's produced an engine concept that, he says, could theoretically accelerate to 99 percent of the speed of light - all without using propellant.

Can you believe 93.016 billion light years in a single picture ! Entire observable universe in one image with a math trick, musician Pablo Carlos Budassi managed to do it by combining logarithmic maps of the universe from Princeton and images from NASA ! .
In this map, our sun and solar system are seen in the middle, followed by the Milky Way Galaxy, another ring of nearby galaxies like Andromeda, all the way out to cosmic radiation and plasma generated by the big bang on the furthest outskirts of the image ! .

Happy New Year 2021

Scientists are now trying to figure out if a grapefruit-sized blackhole actually lurks in the outer solar system.

In the last few years, researchers have noticed an odd clustering of multiple trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), which are found in the far outer solar system.

According to report by Space.com, some scientists believe that the TNOs' paths have been sculpted by the gravitational pull of a big object which is five to 10 times bigger than the Earth.

While the object could be Planet Nine or Planet X, there are theories that it could, in fact, be a black hole that packs in all its mass into a sphere which is roughly the size of a grapefruit.

We Actually See Past !

Scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency have discovered the youngest neutron star of its kind, a 240-year-old cosmic newborn located 16,000 light years away. That would mean that the light from the stellar explosion that led to the formation of this magnetar would have reached the Earth around 1789.

A neutron star is made up of densely packed stellar material left over after a massive star explodes. The newly discovered object, named Swift J1818.0-1607, packs twice the mass of the Sun into a volume more than one trillion times smaller. Most neutron stars are several billion years old.

It is being said that the asteroid flew by roughly around 06:44 UTC.

What Next, 2020?

*Google Scientists Claim Breakthrough That Could Change Computing*

It is reported that Google's AI Quantum team and University of California physicist John Martinis constitute a major leap for quantum computing. According to a paper, published on Wednesday in the Nature,Google's Sycamore processor performed in less than 3 1/2 minutes a calculation that would take the most powerful classical computer on the planet 10,000 years to complete. This breakthrough is known as "quantum supremacy."

Israel based startup UVeye claims to have created to help detect whether car drivers and passengers have a fever without touching them,helping in knowing if they potentially have COVID-19 . The system is equipped with thermal sensors to measure fever through the windshield.

Life exists on Earth because of the planet’s optimal distance from the Sun that enables liquid surface water to be present here. If our orbit was slightly more different from the present situation, life, as we know it, would not have been possible.

Scientists have been trying to find Earth-like planets with the hope that these exoplanets might contain life. Now a study has found a planet that revolves around a sun-like star in an Earth-like orbit and hence has a great chance of being habitable. The research shows a star and planet relationship that closely mirrors the Eun and Earth’s relation.

A minimoon, also known as a temporarily captured object, is a space rock that gets caught in Earth's orbit for several months or years before shooting off into the distant solar system again (or burning up in our planet's atmosphere).

The thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cat is one of the most famous, and misunderstood, concepts in quantum mechanics. By thinking deeply about it, researchers have come to spectacular insights about physical reality.
Physicists also managed to create a real-world version of Schrödinger's cat, albeit in a way that doesn't involve felicide (aka, kitty murder). University of California, Santa Barbara, scientists built a resonator, basically a tiny tuning fork, the size of the pixel on a computer screen. They put it into a superposition in which it was both oscillating and not oscillating at the same time, showing that relatively large objects can occupy bizarre quantum states.

Newly created artificial atoms on a silicon chip could become the new basis for quantum computing.

Engineers in Australia have found a way to make these artificial atoms more stable, which in turn could produce more consistent quantum bits, or qubits - the basic units of information in a quantum system.
The research builds on previous work by the team, wherein they produced the very first qubits on a silicon chip, which could process information with over 99 percent accuracy. Now, they have found a way to minimise the error rate caused by imperfections in the silicon.

Black Hole is really full of curiosity and mystery! Isn't it?

Water might escape Mars more effectively than previously thought, potentially helping to explain how the Red Planet lost its seas, lakes and rivers, a new study finds.

Although Mars is now cold and dry, winding river valleys and dry lake beds suggest that water covered much of the Red Planet billions of years ago. What remains of the water on Mars is mostly locked frozen in the Red Planet's polar ice caps, which possess less than 10% of the water that once flowed on the Martian surface, prior work has suggested.

Previous research has also indicated that Martian water mostly escaped into space. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks apart water in Mars' upper atmosphere to form hydrogen and oxygen, and much of this hydrogen then floats off into space, given its extraordinarily light nature and Mars' middling gravity (which is just 40% as strong as Earth's).

In 2019, when Wolf Cukier finished his junior year at Scarsdale High School in New York, he joined NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, as a summer intern. His job was to examine variations in star brightness captured by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and uploaded to the Planet Hunters TESS citizen science project.

“I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had flagged as an eclipsing binary, a system where two stars circle around each other and from our view eclipse each other every orbit,” Cukier said. “About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first I thought it was a stellar eclipse, but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet.”

Event 1 - Series of supermoons

February to May

There'll be four supermoons in a row starting in February and shining each month until May.

Event 2 - Moon moves in front of Mars

February 18

This is similar to an eclipse when the Moon moves directly between the Earth and Mars. Accuweather says it's officially known as an occultation.

Event 3 - Lunar eclipse

July 4-5

Four penumbral lunar eclipses will be visible across the world in 2020. This is when the moon moves through the outer part of the earth's shadow.

Event 4 - Blue Moon

October 31

Blue moons only rise once every two or three years.

Event 5 - Super conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn

December 21

Jupiter and Saturn will become super close. When two planets appear close in the sky, astronomers call it a conjunction. For Jupiter and Saturn this is the closest they've been since 1623.

2020 is a full of Astronomical Phenomena!

Do You Know what Dyson Sphere is!?
Recently a group of researchers found a second Dyson Sphere star. What's your opinion about Dyson Sphere?

As consumers, we’re already using and benefitting from IoT. We can lock our doors remotely if we forget to when we leave for work and preheat our ovens on our way home from work, all while tracking our fitness on our Fitbits and hailing a ride with Lyft. But businesses also have much to gain now and in the near future. The IoT can enable better safety, efficiency and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analyzed. It can enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.

However, despite this boon in the development and adoption of IoT, experts say not enough IT professionals are getting trained for IoT jobs. An article at ITProToday says we’ll need 200,000 more IT workers that aren’t yet in the pipeline, and that a survey of engineers found 25.7 percent believe inadequate skill levels to be the industry’s biggest obstacle to growth. For someone interested in a career in IoT, that means easy entry into the field if you’re motivated, with a range of options for getting started. Skills needed include IoT security, cloud computing knowledge, data analytics, automation, understanding of embedded systems, device knowledge, to name only a few. After all, it’s the Internet of Things, and those things are many and varied, meaning the skills needed are as well.

A new satellite devoted to gazing at planets orbiting other stars has just launched into space.

At 3:54 a.m. Eastern time on December 18, the European Space Agency’s CHEOPS satellite lifted off from Kourou, French Guiana. CHEOPS — an abbreviation of “Characterizing Exoplanet Satellite” — is the first ESA-led mission dedicated solely to the study of planets outside the solar system. The launch was originally scheduled for December 17 but was called off shortly before takeoff due to a glitch with the rocket
