Do you know about NASA - CHIPS Mission. I bet you dont...

CHIPS (Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer) is an American (NASA) astrophysics spacecraft that was launched by a Delta 2 rocket from Vandenberg AFB at 00:45 UT on 13 January 2003. The 60 kg, triaxially-stabilized spacecraft has a spectrograph covering the 9-26 nm wavelength band at a resolution of 0.1 nm, scanning the entire sky in chunks of 5 degree x 27 degree segments during each orbit. The targets are the hot and diffuse nebulae at about a million degrees temperature. The band covers several strong emission lines. Launch Date: 2003-01 13 Launch Vehicle: Delta II Launch Site: Vandenberg AFB, United States Mass: 60 kg CHIPS carried out an all-sky survey of the diffuse background at wavelengths from 90 to 260 Å at a spectral resolution between about λ / 150 and λ / 40, and a spatial resolution of 5 to 15 degrees. CHIPS detected diffuse emission near 170 Å, but this turned out to be a...

WERNER HEISENBERG : THE FATHER OF QUANTUM PHYSICS

Werner Heisenberg was born on 5th December, 1901, at Würzburg. He was the son of Dr. August Heisenberg and his wife Annie Wecklein. His father later became Professor of the Middle and Modern Greek languages in the University of Munich. It was probably due to his influence that Heisenberg remarked, when the Japanese physicist Yukawa discovered the particle now known as the meson and the term "mesotron" was proposed for it, that the Greek word "mesos" has no "tr" in it, with the result that the name "mesotron" was changed to "meson". Heisenberg went to the Maximilian school at Munich until 1920, when he went to the University of Munich to study physics under Sommerfeld, Wien, Pringsheim, and Rosenthal. During the winter of 1922-1923 he went to Göttingen to study physics under Max Born, Franck, and Hilbert. In 1923 he took his Ph.D. at the University of Munich and then became Assistant to Max Born at the University of Göttin...

Scientists doubt about Expansion Rate of the Universe. A new search for Hubble Constant Begins

The Universe is expanding, that's something we know from the early to mid 20th century. But still today all of us are not on same page when its comes to the problem of how fast is it expanding or when will it stop its expansion. Diagrammatical Representation of Expanding Universe With a question of what would happen later ?? Sitting on a grain size planet in the whole universe, we don't realize how can it be true. But for Astronomers who are trying to measure the universe’s expansion rate, its really exciting. They want to know how fast it is expanding. That rate is important for understanding how the universe works, knowing what its ultimate fate will be and even what it is made of, and for this purpose, scientists have made many sophisticated technological developments. After all, the prime mission of the Hubble Space Telescope when it was launched in 1990 was to help determine that expansion rate, which was later named as the Hubble constant, named for the as...

Scientists reverse the Arrow of Time in a Quantum Experiment

Scientists have Reversed the Arrow of Time in a Quantum Experiment in which they made two quantum correlated system to behave in an Unusual way during which the Second law of Thermodynamics failed. This experiment involved a quantum system of correlated spins to create the effect which proves the reversibility of the arrow of time. However the Second Law of Thermodynamics holds firmly for every large scale Systems we Observe. With over more than a couple of Centuries work, Arrow of time( or Irreversibility of Certain Processes ) still remained one of the greatest puzzle in physics. In the quantum world where microscopic laws of motion are invariant under time reversal, all macroscopic phenomena have a singular preference in time I.e, they have a definite direction in Time. Heat, Entropy etc. are some of the phenomenon included. Heat, for instance, spontaneously flows from hot to cold. One of the Greatest Scientist of 20th Century, Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington has calle...
