Giant image in NASA

NASA Updates

The Saturn is the largest moon .The titan looks very small here just like a gas giant in the Cassini spacecraft view. The titan is 3,200 miles and 5,150 kilometers away from the upper right. This image of Saturn will appear like a cross in the upper circle that is right to an image.The tiny spark of image is seen at the upper rings far from the right of the image. The Prometheus can be seen as a black speck on the planet far away from the left of the image.The shadow of the moon can be seen from the south of the rings below the center of the image.

Interesting fact about rocket launch

NASA Updates
The very best time to start the process in the mission is based on the blend of many factors. The main feature is that the flight target goals and also to find the needs of the spacecraft.The vehicle and the space craft will start successfully at all the times. "The interesting thing about our job is each mission is almost completely different from any other mission," said by Eric Haddox.. "We help everybody understand the requirements of the spacecraft and what the capabilities are of the launch vehicle, and try to mesh the two," Haddox . "You've got this object that's going to go flying out into the air and you've got to shoot it," said Haddox. "You have to be able to judge how far away your target is and how fast it's moving, and make sure you reach the same point at the same time."  He also said that "The navigation system on the rocket is going to do what it needs to do to get the spacecraft where it needs to be, but it's not going to be the same trajectory you looked at before,"

NASA finds 20 million wind speed near the black hole

NASA Updates

NASA Scientists reported a record breaking wind that have been arise from the black hole  called IGR J17091-3624.Per hour the wind speed is 20 million miles that would be expected in larger black holes. It is the most record breaking event that has been happened. The wind speed drawn off of the star orbiting a black hole and has been clocked with a speed of 20 million miles per hour it is about 3% speed than off the light.The black hole is magically located 28,000 light year away it is a part of the binary system. “This is like the cosmic equivalent of winds from a category five hurricane,” said by Ashley King .“This black hole is performing well above its weight class,” said by Miller the co-author. Chandra has been observing for 2 months but yet they didn't get any evidence relating the wind. The winds were powered by constant variations in a powerful magnetic fields over the black hole.

NASA astronomers have found bulkyballs in the space

NASA Updates




NASA astronomers have found the data by using the NASA spitzer space telescope in that they have  bulky balls in the solid  form .Microscopic carbon spheres have been found only in the form of the gas that forms to be the cosmos. This bulky balls are made up of 60 carbon atoms arranged together like a hallow sphere like a soccer ball."These buckyballs are stacked together to form a solid, like oranges in a crate," said Nye Evans of Keele University in England, lead author of a paper appearing in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. "The particles we detected are minuscule, far smaller than the width of a hair, but each one would contain stacks of millions of buckyballs.""This exciting result suggests that buckyballs are even more widespread in space than the earlier Spitzer results showed," said Mike Werner, project scientist for Spitzer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "They may be an important form of carbon, an essential building block for life, throughout the cosmos.""The window Spitzer provides into the infrared universe has revealed beautiful structure on a cosmic scale," said Bill Danchi, Spitzer program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "In yet another surprise discovery from the mission, we're lucky enough to see elegant structure at one of the smallest scales, teaching us about the internal architecture of existence."

Nasa finds giant hole in the milky way

NASA Updates







Nasa finds out a black hole at the center of the milky way that looks very giant ,that may be vaporizing and devouring asteriods.Chandra has dectected the X-ray flares about once in a day from the black hole Sagittarius A*.This flares will last a few hours only with brighteness.This flares can be seen from the infrared data ESO very large telescope in chilie."People have had doubts about whether asteroids could form at all in the harsh environment near a supermassive black hole," said Kastytis Zubovas.
"As a reality check, we worked out that a few trillion asteroids should have been removed by the black hole over the 10-billion-year lifetime of the galaxy," said co-author Sera Markoff of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands

VIIRS Eastern Hemisphere image best click

NASA Updates
NPP satellite is in the Polar orbit with an atitude of 512 miles but the new Eastern hemisphere called as Blue Marble is 7,918. Norman Kuring managed to get the big picture of six different orbits of the Suomi NPP satellite.The stellite will flew over the earth six times during eight period of times. But Norman took a picture than is combined into one image  by using six sets of data.


On January 23,2012 a new image is taken with six separate sets of orbits by the NPP satellite.Both the images are taken by the VIIRS and NPP.By using and basketball asan example we can get a new idea about the NPP satellite from the earth.Let us see an example Take a basket ball that has an diameter of 10 inches that is of about 25 centimeters and you say that it is Earth. Earth has a diameter of about 7,926 miles .Get the exact same view of the earth as the VIIRS and NPP satellite that passes abroad. Hold the basket ball at the  five eighth of an inch. FRom this we can find out the actual width of the earths surface covered byt he pass of the VIIRS satellite.
