1997 was a year that has a spectacular range of achievements achieved by mankind. Hollywood witnessed the second sequel of the Jurassic saga, Titanic broke the list of top grossing movies for almost a decade and the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched towards Saturn. 20 years, since then, the world learnt a lot from the probe about the Planet which mystified even the ancients. The jeweled king of the heavens was found with 62 moons orbiting it. The Saturn orbit insertion was on June 30th 2004. After 7 long years through space, it finally latched itself to the orbit of the planet. It also carried a man-made probe that was named Huygens and it landed on one of the most titanic moons in our solar systems- Titan. There on July 8th 2007, presence of liquids were confirmed, although the excitement was short lived as the moon had oceans and rivers of Methane and Ethane. However, it did bring a sense of awe and wonder as humankind was becoming more aware of worlds that had biz...

For those who arent aware of the bleak future our planet faces, listen up y'all! The sun that has made life possible on this planet will also be the reason of it's destruction. Our sun is a comparatively small G type star which means that over tens of billions of years, it has a high probability of turning into a red giant. It would mean that the outer layers of the sun would expand so far out that the earth will be engulfed by the over-sized star and that would potentially mean that earth as we know it today, would cease to exist. This is the accepted fate of our solar system that is accepted by many modern scientists. But what is point of being a technologically advanced species if we can save ourselves from this fate? Fortunately enough, there just happens to be thousands of planets orbiting stars in every direction, and many are hypothesized to support carbon based life. One of many such cases exists in a star system in the constellation of Aquarius (39 light-year...

After the movie Interstellar hit the general public, many have made themselves familiar with the idea of black holes. You know... the big vacuum cleaners present in space that sucks up everything that goes close to it, even light particles aren't spared. If one of these would appear close to our solar system, the results would be catastrophic even before it made it as far as Neptune. But this post isn't about any of those monsters. This is something that already exists on the planet, but instead of sucking on matter, it can only suck in photons (Light particles). This substance is named as VANTABLACK. The Vanta in the beginning of the world is an acronym for Vertically Aligned carbon Nano-Tube Arrays. The material is composed on hollow carbon nano-tube, which is so minute in comparison that it's 1/10,000 the size of a human hair. However 99% of vantablack is made of empty space. This allows photons to be trapped between the tubes and is turned into heat. First a...

Most nations around the world have engaged themselves in lifting their current economy and bringing it up to the levels of major superpowers. Firms and industries are employing more and more people for their tasks and it should surely point towards a bright future, right? Well… not exactly. The end of the college life is a sign that everyone has to go out in the real world and work for a living. The time can be frightening for many. Companies after companies filter in the best within the sample for their campuses. For those who haven’t been able to situate themselves successfully within their desired company, it’s no easy task coping up with overwhelming anxiety. But for those who are employed, for them too… it’s not all ‘easy peasy lemon squeezy’. Meeting deadlines, extra project work and then managing expenses- these are some of the mental struggles of a working man. Many will have their own issues related to families and personal life. But neither the employer nor the emplo...
