Life on Venus! We forgot to check our Earth's twin!

 

A scientific study published in 2019, says that we can find extraterrestrial life by finding the amount of phosphine in the atmosphere of planets. Phosphine is a gas produced by anaerobic organisms, organisms who don't need oxygen to live.


Phosphine: PH3



Phosphine is found in gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. It is because of an abundant source of hydrogen, not due to life forms. But in oxygen-rich like Earth, they are not prevalent.

Recently, we have discovered phosphine in the clouds of Venus. It is not our first sighting. Vega probes of Soviet union have landed on the surface of Venus and predicted phosphorus. But it was not precise.


Vega founded particles about 1 micron thick (Thickness of bacteria) suspending on the atmosphere. But how anything can live in Venus which is covered by a deadly acid, Sulphuric acid!

One of the ideas is that sulphur molecule (S8) covers microbes of the Venus. Sulphur molecules are impenetrable by sulfuric acid, thus keeping the microbes alive.


You can think that Vega transferred bacteria from planet Earth to Venus. If that was the case, we should have expected a slight composition of phosphine contrast to the reality!


We are not sure about life in Venus. But we do not know any other phosphine producing agent. Maybe it is an unusual feature of Venus to produce phosphine.

HTML & CSS by John Duckett: Review

If you are passionate about coding and web development, you might know that HTML & CSS are the initial and vital language. You might have a guide and introduction to it on our website. But the most famous one is a book by John Duckett. HTML & CSS by John Duckett  is an outstanding beginner book. Unlike other coding books, this one isinteractive and clean. Each page of the books has an elegant design. The teachings are present on the left side, and the code snippets on the right. You can also find the code source on  their website . It also has codes relevant to HTML5 and CSS3, which are the newest versions of the languages. It is my first coding book, and I am so grateful for that. John Duckett also wrote a Javascript & jQuery book , which is like a sequel for this one.  You can buy it on Amazon by clicking below!

Why are there different types of Mozilla Firefox?

  Firefox is a fast and famous browser, developed by a non-profit. Firefox's speed and privacy were the key points that brought them up. By hearing all this, at last, you go to Mozilla Firefox Website to download it. But there are different types! Which one should you choose and which one you should download? STABLE EDITION It is the most used and stable Firefox Browser. It is the one you have seen in your computer lab. Firefox updates it every six weeks, checks and revises and, thus bug-free. BETA EDITION   It is one step ahead from the stable version. Beta versions have the next update or release of the stable version but sooner. Beta also has some minor security things for good. For instance, a developer can run an unpublished add-on in the beta version, but not in the stable version since the stable version does only allow authorised add-on. Beta can be good for those who are curious browser to see the next updates. For the developers, we have the next one! DEV EDITI...

Computer graphics have improved a lot since the start of computing. RTX 3000 series would be a game-changer in the GPU industries. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia announced 3 RTX 3000 Series Graphics Cards - RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090. This new-gen graphics card design with Ampere Architecture. RTX 2000 series uses Turing architecture and GTX 1000 series use Pascal architecture. Ampere Architecture is said to have better performances and features (1.9 times) than previous GPUs. It also has 28 billion transistors, having the world’s fastest Graphics speed (760GB/s) with 3rd gen Tensor cores. This time Nvidia has joined with Samsung to produce the 7nm processors.  The game Marbles with RTX enabled “ Ampere is the biggest generation leap we had ”  The pricing of the RTX 3000 series is low...
