The Solar Eclipse 2017

Or is there some magical force driving the heavenly bodies or it is just the way our universe works. On 21 July 2017 the U.S.A observed a Total Solar Eclipse, one of the most beautiful phenomenon the nature portrays before us. It is magnificent, it is fascinating...... well the phenomenon can not be explained by words! Eclipse as seen from the GIII aircraft!      Well a Solar Eclipse is a Transit of The Moon ( for  more on transit visit :  Mercury Transit ) such  that the Moon comes between the Earth and Sun. Well now some of you may question that this also happens during a new moon which happens every month so the solar eclipse should also occur monthly? The answer to it is simple, here's how it goes.

Planet Nine

                                                   A new planet out there? Planet NIne!. doesn't the term sound familiar? Well some of you would think about pluto, right?

The new Planet Nine(which hasn't been discovered yet xD) is actually a hypothetical body which had to exist because of drastic changes occurring in Neptune's orbit.  The planet looks beautiful indeed? So our scientists all being full of questions worked out with their mathematics and came up with this  so called "Planet Nine" I wrote about this sometime ago( check out here ). So it old news now? But wait there, what now! Well a few months ago a project on Zooniverse started with enrollment of common people like us to help the researchers find out if this object existed.  So 60,000 people from all ov...

Hey there! Welcome to The Mysterious Cosmos . Earth the only planet known to support humans! and not only humans rather a whole lot of diversity of individuals, each with it's own unique characteristics! This is what makes our beloved planet different and special from the rest! But since the time humans have dominated the planet they have exploited it to their needs. The vegetation of The Indus Valley Civiliization Though this is the basis of life, life evolves by exploiting the nature but till some extent. There has to be a limit to everything! And in the recent times humans have exceeded the limit, there is a serious need to conserve the diversity of Earth or else it won't be able to sustain us!

One such is Earth-Hour during which all the electrical appliances are switched off to conserve electrici...

This discovery will open one the most baffling mysterious of the universe i.e "what lies within the black holes" " The source of this event still remains mysterious! And somehow if we figure it out, it would lead unravel the mysteries of those black things out there" said on of  the researchers.  further tracking down the corona will help us unde...
