  • Not relevant to the topics we discuss, but still was excited to read this.

    Scientists saw, for the first time a supernova explosion (death of a
    star). The article says, it happened 88 million years ago, which we
    are witnessing now. So should this be termed as history, because it
    occured 88 million years ago, or is it a current affairs, because we
    are seeing it only now? :)

    with time scale as this, we are fighting for incidents happened in
    2000 years....arpa manida pathargal....what else should we call ourselves?
  • double triple meaning la sonna.... regular affairs ;-)
  • you can view the old snapshot without the latest updates through
    microsoft worldwide telescope. Open it and search for NGC 2770.
  • When I was watching the Guided tours in the application on black hole,
    it showed interesting information. The first black hole idea was
    presented by an Indian in 1930.

    The guided tours, the planets, sky are amazing. We are not even a dot.
    I remembered, "Satha Kooritta" (size of atom divided into 1000). is it
    Kamban?

Howdy, Stranger!
