Chandra X-ray Observatory

United Nations has declared the year 2015 as the International Year of Light. Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched by NASA on July 23, 1999 to study the stars and galaxies in the universe. It was previously known as Advanced X-ray Astrophysics facility but later changed in honor of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar. It was specially designed to detect X-ray emission from very hot regions of the Universe such as exploded stars, clusters of galaxies, and matter around black holes.

Chandra X-ray Observatory study the X-ray sources coming from far away galaxy which do not enter the Earth atmosphere. By using the X-rays images from the Chandra observatory, scientists understand the structure and evolution of the universe.
X-ray telescope uses a Wolter telescope consisting of nested cylindrical paraboloid and hyperboloid surfaces coated with gold and iridium, as X-rays would be absorbed by normal mirrors. Chandra is one of the farthest satellite in the Earth orbit.
Chandra data has greatly advanced the astronomy. The image of the Cassiopeia gave astronomers the glimpse of the compact object at the center of the remnant, probably neutron star or black hole.
On January 5, 2015 , CXO has observed an X-ray flare 400 times brighter than usual, from a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A which is in the center of our MilkyWay.

AI in Soap Manufacturing Industry

Machine learning (ML) has numerous potential applications in the soap manufacturing industry, contributing to process optimization, quality control, resource management, and more. Here are some examples: 1. Quality Control : ML algorithms can be trained to analyze images of soap bars to detect defects such as cracks, air bubbles, or inconsistent coloring. By automating the inspection process, manufacturers can ensure that only high-quality products reach the market, reducing waste and enhancing customer satisfaction. 2. Predictive Maintenance : ML models can analyze sensor data from manufacturing equipment to predict when maintenance is needed. By detecting potential issues before they cause equipment failure, manufacturers can minimize downtime and reduce repair costs. 3. Supply Chain Optimization : ML algorithms can analyze historical data on raw material prices, demand forecasts, and production schedules to optimize inventory management and procurement decisions. This helps minimize...

Elon Musk says we could make Mars habitable with thermonuclear bomb

On Wednesday night, SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and announced that the speediest way to terraform Mars and allow humans to live outside of an airlock dome would be to nuke it. "The fast way is to drop thermonuclear weapons over the poles," Musk told Colbert, prompting the host to call him a super villain. But is the idea that crazy? The basis of the bomb plot is that the nukes would melt the frozen CO2 on the Red Planet's poles, releasing it as gas into the atmosphere. This would help to thicken up the Red Planet's thin atmosphere, which could be enough to heat the planet and allow water to exist in a liquid form. Essentially, the bombs would kick-start something similar to the global warming that's happening here on Earth, and hopefully trigger a cascade effect - so the more ice that melts, the more CO2 that's released, which warms the planet and melts more ice, and so on. However, there are some...

Telescopic Contact Lens For Visually Impaired People

See far distance just by winking your eyes. A team of engineers have designed a telescopic contact lens that can switch between normal and magnefied vision. The Researchers at San Jose, California has built a prototype pf lens that could one day help people with visual impairment to see. The lenses might be particularly useful with age-related macular degeneration, a debilitating condition in which people gradually lose their central vision. It is the leading cause of visual impairment and affect millions worldwide. The contact lens developed by Ford’s team is one millimeter thick. Researchers used aluminum mirrors, fit tightly together, to create a ring-shaped telescope embedded in the contact lens. The center of the lens allows for normal, non-magnified vision. Its periphery, where the telescope is located, magnifies images 2.8 times. Switching between normal and magnefied vision Without the glasses, the contact lenses superimpose both normal and magn...
