भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों ने नेपच्यूनियन रेगिस्तान में ढूंढा नया ग्रह, पृथ्वी से 60 गुना है द्रव्यमान; जानें क्यों खास है यह उपलब्धि

India News: भारतीय वैज्ञानिकों ने अनंत ब्रह्मांड में एक नया ग्रह खोज निकाला है, जो पृथ्वी जैसा रहने लायक हो सकता है। भौतिक अनुसंधान प्रयोगशाला (पीआरएल) के शोधकर्ताओं ने इस ऐतिहासिक खोज के बाद नए ग्रह को TOI-6651b नाम दिया है। यह ग्रह पृथ्वी से लगभग पांच गुना बड़ा और अपने सौरमंडल में सूर्य की परिक्रमा करता रहा है। इसका सूर्य हमारे सूर्य से मिलता-जुलता है। वैज्ञानिकों का कहना है कि इसका द्रव्यमान…

I’m better than the astronauts from the I.S.S. horror movie on amazon prime because I didn’t NEED to be blasted up a billion centimetres into orbit and see the planet turn to know that borders aren’t real and governments won’t save you and we просто нужно помнить о том, что нужно держаться вместе.

भारत के वैज्ञानिक तैयार कर रहे खास सोलर विमान, 90 दिनों तक भर सकेगा उड़ान; खूबियां जानकर हो जाओगे हैरान

India Solar Plane: भारत में वैज्ञानिक एक ऐसा सोलर विमान तैयार कर रहे हैं जो बेहद क्रांतिकारी साबित होगा। यह प्लेन एक बार में 90 दिनों की उड़ान भरने में सक्षम होगा। इसका एक छोटा वर्जन तैयार किया जा चुका है, जिसने सफलतापूर्व 10 घंटे की उड़ान भरी है। इस प्लेन को हाई एल्टीट्यूड प्लेटफॉर्म (एचएपी) नाम दिया गया है। इसको बेंगलुरु स्थित नेशनल एयरोस्पेस लैबोरेट्रीज (एनएएल) में तैयार किया जा रहा है। यह…

Scientists Discover Shark Graveyard at the Bottom of the Ocean

Australian researchers discovered 750 shark teeth deep in the Indian Ocean.

A graveyard studded with thousands of shark teeth is lurking nearly 3.5 miles (5.400 kilometers) beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean.

Researchers made the shocking discovery in October during a month-long expedition along the southern tip of Indonesia aboard the RV Investigator (opens in new tab), a 308-foot-long (94 meters) research vessel operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency. On the final day of the voyage, and after 26 previous attempts, the researchers sank a trawling net into the deep water hoping to catch fish as part of an ongoing biodiversity survey. Instead, they pulled up a net's worth of hundreds of shark teeth, according to a statement (opens in new tab).

"It was our very last sample of the trip before heading back to Australia," Dianne Bray (opens in new tab), senior collections manager at the Museums Victoria Research Institute, said. "I was a little disappointed at first when we hauled up the net because it was filled with mud and I knew that there wasn't going to be many fish specimens. And even if there were, they would be rumbled and damaged from all the mud."

"We tipped the contents out on the deck of the boat and as we went through everything, we found shark tooth after shark tooth," Bray said. "We were finding teeth from [modern] mako and [great] white sharks, but also fossilized teeth from ancient sharks like the immediate ancestor of the giant megalodon shark."

In total, researchers collected more than 750 teeth ranging in size from 0.39 inch (1 centimeter) to a single tooth from the megalodon ancestor measuring 4 inches (10 cm).

The researchers noticed deposits of black manganese nodules growing on many of the teeth, which were the result of the teeth sitting on the ocean floor for so long. Otherwise, the teeth were all in good condition.

"It's quite remarkable," Bray said. "The teeth weren't weathered, rumbled or tumbled. Bacteria consumed all of the organic matter from the teeth and the roots were gone, but otherwise the enamel was left."

Researchers aren't entirely sure why so many teeth accumulated in this swath of the ocean but they don't think that hundreds of sharks died there, Bray said. Unlike humans, who are born with one set of baby teeth and replace them with one set of adult teeth during their lifetimes, sharks have an endless supply of teeth that are replaced "like a conveyor belt," Gareth J. Fraser, lecturer in Evolutionary Developmental Biology at University of Sheffield in the U.K., wrote in The Conversation (opens in new tab).

The area where the teeth were found likely hosted a community of ancient sharks.

"The teeth were found on an abyssal plain and not out in the open ocean," Bray said. "This area was part of an ancient reef covered with seamounts and we think a community of sharks swam around this area long ago."

As they swam, they likely dropped their used-up teeth.

Bray said that the shark tooth haul barely "scraped the surface" of what was buried there.

APJ Abdul Kalam: How He Became Missile Man of India

APJ Abdul Kalam was a great engineer and author. He grew up in a middle-class family and worked hard to achieve success. Despite limited resources, he secured admission into a prestigious university and earned an engineering degree. He is known as the “Missile Man of India” for his work on missile development and satellite projects, including India's first satellite, Aryabhatta. You can read about him more in the best school in Baddi, where you’ll get extensive knowledge about Dr Kalam.

For his contributions to the field of science and defence modernization, he was conferred the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour. Kalam also made contributions to healthcare, technology, and education. He passed away on 27 July 2015 at the age of 83 from a heart attack while delivering a lecture in Shillong, Meghalaya. Even after his demise, he continues to inspire us with his writings, including Wings of Fire, Ignited Minds, and Indomitable Spirit.
