will be spaghettified . This is not the case.
ABOUT IT??

In order to observe spaghettification taking place,

scientists must find a black hole using one of the
methods referenced above. Scientists will then collect
data on how the black hole interacts with the matter
around it. When a black hole comes too close to
another celestial body, spaghettification occurs.

The tidal forces from the black holes singularity are so

strong that they will pull massive star into spaghetti
like strands. How quickly this happens depends on the
tensile force of the star. Black holes have a Illustration of what this event may have looked like:
gravitational force that nothing can escape, whether
it be an astronaut, an entire star, or even light itself. The spaghettification is dependent on several
conditions:
1.The tensile strength of the object.
2.The size of the black hole(Schwarzschild Radius)
In conclusion, it is possible to enter a supermassive
black hole’s event horizon and return without being

have temperature just contrasting to what

Books always taught us that sun has

very high degree of temperature, but
the reality is that it also has some
areas where it’s quite cooler than the
rest.

If you are a keen observer,

you might have noticed
many such things with

These are the regions of reduced surface temperature caused
by concentration of magnetic flux.

There areal magnetic pressure is high as compared to

that of their relative surroundings which have decreased
atmospheric pressure. Due to the atmospheric
pressure difference, these regions temperature
decreases, and hot gas travels from inside of the sun
through these relatively cooler areas. These cooler areas
are represented as dark spots, which can be as big as
planets.

SOLAR CLOSE-UP VIEW OF SUNSPOT

ANALYSIS
The formation of sunspots due to disturbance in
magnetic field is cyclic in nature. 11 year-long
cyclicity is the one which explains the continual
formation of pores.

In the start of each cycle, sunspots appear close to

the 30°N and 30°S latitudes, then they gradually
reside towards the equatorial area as the cycle
advances.

1. POLAR STRATOSPHERIC CLOUDS

This picture, taken in Kilpisjärvi, Finland; it is a
Type II Polar Stratospheric Cloud. Don't allow
these mesmerizing POLAR STRATOSPHERIC
CLOUDS deceive you, for they play an important
role in destroying ozone layers at the Antarctic,
now the Arctics as well!

While the clouds we see form at the troposphere,

these clouds form at the stratosphere (altitudes
of 15 to 25 kilometers) where generally, clouds
aren't formed! At veryy low temperatures, crystals
of nitric acid, sulfuric acid and water are formed at this region and these crystals diffract light to form
captivating colours.

They provide surface to chlorine, to form compounds that react with ozone to destroy it. At the same time,
nitrogenous compounds are released from the clouds that intensify the destroying effect of chlorine.

2. SEA OF STARS

The sea of stars ,found in the reefs of
Maldives, occurs during the late summers.

bodies which produce and emit light; called
as Lingulodinium polyedrum. This island is
filled with this plankton and as the waves

Found in Peruvian Hills is the RAINBOW
MOUNTAIN, which looks trippy as it contains
six colours - pink, white, red, brown, mustard
and green. The existence of whom is from
sedimentation of rocks of calcium,
sandstone and quartzose over thousands of
years to form this colourful landscape. This
landscape was at juncture of crisis as
changing weather patterns and climate
change has taken a toll on the mountain. Just
like tourists all over the world are fascinated
by the site, mining companies are too - for a
greedy reason.

4. METHANE BUBBLES IN LAKE BAIKAL

This is, the Lake Baikal of Russia. The
storehouse of largest, oldest and deepest
freshwater lake at around 20% of world's
freshwater. When, on the ocean bed, the
dead organisms decompose due to microbes
feeding on it, which releases methane.
Methane floats on the surface in the form of
bubbles. During winters, when water on the
surface freezes, these bubbles trap in to
produce a stunning view. Methane gets
released when temperatures rise or water
level decreases.
Methane as we know, is a Greenhouse gas. The heat-trapping effect of methane is 35 times stronger than
CO2, making it detrimental to our climate.

FACT: Lake Baikal is the largest

freshwater lake by volume
(23,600km3), containing 20% of
the world's fresh water.

Andrew Carlssin
time traveller skips the town!

SPACE TRAVEL, COMMERCIALIZED

The beginning of popular space travel means?

In March 2003, FBI 44-years old arrested Andrew Carlssin. Newspaper

reported that this man was extraordinarily lucky, in the history of stock
market, he had earned like no other.
He invested $800 in stock market and made $350 million in just 2 weeks.
FBI suspected that he was running a scam or that he was an insider trader.
When Andrew was questioned, he answered that he was a time traveller
from the year 2256. He claimed that he was traveller from 250 years in
the future and that he knew how the stock would perform so he invested in
them and got the extraordinary results.
FBI was surprised at this, and they took it upon themselves to prove that he
was lying. When they investigated in depth, further they found that before
December 2002 there was no record of Carlssin. Even more surprising was
that on 3rd April, Carlssin had to appear in court for his bail hearing but he
had disappeared, never to be found again!

was he really a time traveller?

is it really possible to travel through time?

or is it only fiction for novels and films?

 UNDER THE SCOPE
In 1895, writer H.G. Wells wrote his groundbreaking novel
"THE TIME MACHINE". It was after this that the phrase
"TIME MACHINE" became popular. Machine that can take
you into the future as well as in the past, with it you can
travel through time. Although this novel was science fiction
novel, but several philosophers and physicists were inspired
by it. Not only serious research papers were written on time
travel but many films were also cast on it.

REFORMS IN RURAL INDIA STEM OFF THE STEMS OF BANANA!

India grows more bananas than anywhere else in the world. But about half of each banana
plant goes waste. Adoption of sanitary napkins is only among 35.2% of women in India
and the plastic, non-biodegradable pads are discomfort to women and is not eco-friendly.
To bring a solution to both of these issues, a company is turning the banana stems, which
goes to waste, to biodegradable sanitary pads. They say, that just one banana plant
stem can yield up to 3,000 PADS!

Saathi is regularly working with 18,000 farmers, setting up machines

in their fields so that they themselves can shred the layers of every
banana stem into fibre like strings. This provides an additional
income to our farmers. These fibres come to the factory, where they
are turned into cotton like fluffs which involves their secret patented
methods. this will be pressed into thinner and thinner sheets and then
different layers are stacked and then sterilised to make a pad.
The company sells their products at a standard price of a sanitary napkin to
an urban woman, which helps them give subsidies to a rural woman. This
company not only sells products, it spreads awareness about menstrual
health and usage of sanitary napkins in rural areas.
WOW!

Nearly 4.5 trillion cigaratte butts get thrown out into roads

A network of hundreds of people collect these cigarette butts

from the streets of Noida. A company called CODE

Stealth technology - Keshav Singh

The history of fighter planes can

be traced back to World War I when they
were first introduced as a means of air
combat. These early fighter planes were
primitive by today's standards and were
primarily made of wood and canvas.
However, they represented a significant
advancement in military technology at the
time and paved the way for the
development of more sophisticated fighter
planes in the years that followed.
B-2-Spirit

In the early days of air combat, pilots would
simply shoot at each other with pistols
and rifles while flying through the air. This
was obviously not considered the most

ISRO along with few leading institutes of our nation are set to list a new milestone, to
study the Sun 1 million miles from Earth through the spacecraft Aditya L1.

What and why is L1 in Aditya L1?

Lagrange point (L1) of the Sun-Earth system which is
about 1.5 million km from earth and has the advantage
of continuously viewing the sun without any eclipses.

What does the spacecraft Aditya L1 carry?

The spacecraft carries seven payloads to observe the
photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers
of the Sun (the corona) using electromagnetic and
particle and magnetic field detectors.
What is a payload in a spacecraft?!
ISRO defines a payload as a scientific or technological instrument carried on board a
satellite for the specific purpose is termed as a payload.
What is the significance of Aditya L1 to research in our country?
Aditya L1 payloads are expected to provide most crucial informations to understand
the problem of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, particle flux emanating from
the Sunand their characteristics, dynamics of space weather, propagation of particle
and fields etc.

SCIENTISTS AND THEIR MIND
BLOWING EXPERIMENTS

Heer's Review
I would highly recommend this book as It has some
intelligent humour packed with stories of world class
inventors. It has many funny illustrations also .This is a
fun to read with all its trivia, explanations and cartoons
of some of the famous scientists who are now no more.

After reading the book SCIENTIST AND THEIR MIND

BLOWING EXPERIMENTS, you will find it has many
surprising experiments. It contains inside stories from
their personal notebooks, news, reports, their mind
blowing experiments and how those experiments changed the world .This book provides
comedy, information and has some secrets of the dead famous scientist.
For example "You have heard Galileo Galilei and his telescope but have you heard Galileo
Galilei was sentenced life in prison for his shocking ideas about the solar system. You must
have heard about Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution but have you heard that Darwin
wrote a book about his pet worms. You have also heard about Isaac Newton and his apple but
have you heard that Newton wasn't all that keen on
science sometimes it got on his nerves". It gives an
insight about how life was when they were
around. Some of those famous scientists mentioned
in the book are Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin,
Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and others.

This is a kind of book that will be well-liked by

youth as well as children. You learn about the
interesting unknown facts with humour and
fun.

 Fact-astic!
Earth’s oxygen is
produced by the ocean
Have you ever stopped to think where oxygen comes
from? Your first thought may be a rainforest, but here’s a
cool science fact for you: We can thank plant-based
marine organisms for all that fresh air. Plankton,
seaweed, and other photosynthesizers produce more
than half of the world’s oxygen.

Animals use Earth’s magnetic

field for orientation
Lost land animals may not be able to find their way home,
but sea animals might. There is evidence that some
animals, like sea turtles and salmon, have the ability to
sense the Earth’s magnetic field and can use this sense
for navigation. This may sound like a science fiction but
it’s actually a fact.

Bananas are radioactive

Here’s a random fact about one of your favorite foods:
Bananas contain potassium, and since potassium decays,
that makes the yellow fruit slightly radioactive. But don’t
worry—you’d need to eat ten million bananas in one
sitting to die of banana-induced radiation poisoning.

There are more trees

on Earth than stars in
our galaxy
Here’s a cool space fact (and an Earth fact) we bet
you didn’t know: NASA experts believe there could
be anywhere from 100 billion to 400 billion stars in
the Milky Way. However, a 2015 research paper
published that the number of trees around the world
is much higher: 3.04 trillion.

26
 A cloud can weigh
around a million pounds!
Your childhood dreams of floating on a weightless cloud
may not withstand this science fact: The average cumulus
cloud can weigh up to a million pounds, That’s about as
heavy as the world’s largest jet when it’s completely full
of cargo and passengers.

It’s impossible to burp

in space

When you burp on Earth, gravity keeps down the solids

and liquids from the food you just ate, so only the gas
escapes from your mouth. In the absence of gravity, the
gas cannot separate from the liquids and solids, so
burping essentially turns into puking.

Bats don’t get sick from

most viruses
And yup, that includes coronaviruses. Bats can, of
course, contract and spread viruses, but they also
have plenty of genes responsible for anti-viral
activity, keeping them out of harm’s way. One
exception to this is rabies, while bats occasionally
get sick from rabies, it rarely kills them.

Humans are capable of

producing venom!

Believe it or not, while humans do not currently

produce venom, technically, we could. In fact, all
reptiles and mammals have that capability.
Basically, we have all the tools we need, and it’s up
to evolution to get us there.

The advancement of science can be attributed mainly to the curiosity of
human mind. The question of how, when, what and why are the main
reasons which help humans to push over the boundaries of science.
