VOYAGE UNLEASHED


"Chandrasekhar!" a robotic voice proclaimed

"Yes, sir!" replied Chandrasekhar.

"Go for undocking!"

In the next five minutes was the perspiring moment for the astronauts. 

"Telecom Go!" proclaimed the speaker.


The Majestic flew over up in a high velocity and pitched up to slow down the Majestic. It landed like a helicopter safely and soundly. The last "Go!" was yelled, and the door fell. Soon, Subramanyam will be the first man to land on Planet Hypatia, maybe the next Earth!


Physicists Raman and Chein-Shiung Wu were on a shuttle revolving Hypatia. Dr Sivan told it was the best place to check on Aries binary stars. They kept the telescope ready, to reason out the anomaly that has driven astrophysicists crazy! 


Wu scoped through the Aries A star and noticed the B star. Raman checked the final image, which has colour codings according to the elements present. The results shocked the scientists. It was nothing but diffusion. The chemical separation of elements solved some of the puzzles of those who assumed all were caused by nuclear reactions, which is true for the plasmas in the cores.


Subramanyam and Chandrasekhar set their feet. It was night. Subramanyam flashed the air. The light kept scattering. 

"Colloids causing Tyndall effect! Have to check them!" 


"Atmosphere consists of phosphine, oxygen, mercury and a minute amount of sulfuric acid," said Chandrasekhar, who checked it.


"Something made mercury into vapour in room temperature!" nodded Subramanyam. He took the machine in his hand a said, "The colloids are 1nm thick and covered with S8."


Something popped on Chandrasekhar's mind.

"Phosphine, S8, sulfuric acid," he mumbled but soon got distracted by an alarm.


Chandrasekhar's last oxygen tank emptied! Chandrasekhar removed his suit as Hypatia's pressure is same as the Earth. Subramanyam realised a problem. He took Chandrasekhar to the Majestic rushing and took blood from him. After centrifugation, he saw what he expected. 

"Mercury!"

 

The voyage unleashed the presence of extraterrestrial living things since the colloids were recognised as microbes covered in sulfur to survive in sulfuric acid. The Majestic was considered a success. Only Subramanyam knew how it felt to see a friend dying on his hand.

 

  1. Due to limitation in word count, I was not able to explain some things. Even though the story is complete itself. I am just adding some for clarification.
  2. Diffusion in binary stars are a real assumption. (Astronomical Journal, vol. 85, May 1980, p. 589-598. Research supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.)
  3. Mercury vapour in room temperature is science fiction.
  4. Microbe covered in Sulphur molecule or S8 is a assumption for extraterrestrial life in Venus (https://qollabstudio.blogspot.com/2020/09/life-in-venus-we-forgot-to-check-our.html )
  5. Phosphine is produced by organisms which does not need oxygen to live.
  6. Subramanyam Chandrasekhar was a Nobel Laurete for Physics.
  7. The planet is named after Hypatia, greek astronomer 
  8. Chein-Shiung Wu is a famous female nuclear physicist.
  9. Raman is named after CV Raman.
  10. Dr. Sivan (ISRO chairman) plays a role in the story.

Discovery of the closest asteroid by IIT Bombay students.

On  August 16 2020 ,  An asteroid sized 3 to 6 metres (10 to 20 feet) was found just 2950 km above the Earth's surface! The astonishing discovery was recorded by the students of IIT Bombay and Taiwan.   Helping make a discovery like this, so early in my research project, is beyond what I had ever imagined   -Sharma,  a third-year student of mechanical engineering at IIT-B. Named  2020QG,  the closest asteroid ever to be found near Earth without impacting it became an early success for the students. The discovers Kunal Deshmukh and Kritti Sharma and Chen-Yen Hsu at National Central University in Taiwan are a part of an international team seeking out Near-Earth Asteroids.          This is the first image of Asteroid 2020 QG, captured by Caltech's Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) after the asteroid's closest approach to Earth at a distance of 1,830 miles above the planet...

The 11th generation of Intel Processors "TIGER LAKE" announced

Intel has recently announced their 11th gen processors code name "Tiger Lake" on September 2, 2020. They have also integrated Intel Iris as their GPU. They announced many features and specifications of the CPU in a tweet. We will now look at the features and what the 11th gen processors are capable of in-depth. This new generation processor is built with a 10nm chipset, also called SuperFin by Intel Tiger Lake. The new generation offers 2.7x faster content creation, 20% office productivity, and more than 2x faster gaming with the help of the Iris Graphics. Intel also provides Thunderbolt 4 support, Wifi 6, and PCIe-4 support. Intel provides 4 cores and 8 threads with Overclocking support up to 4.8 GHz. Iris Graphics Card would support consistent gaming on FHD while streaming. They have also announced the Intel Evo platform bran which is based on the 11th gen processors. Many laptop manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, Dynabook, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI, Razer, Sa...

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!
