One day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. In this regard, rover Pragyan and lander Vikram, which reached the lunar surface by Chandrayaan 3 on August 23, have only a few days left.

Isro's important phase begins on the moon ISRO has said that Chandrayaan 3 is going to do three major tasks on the moon. It includes soft landing on the lunar surface, exploration of the lunar surface and some experiments on the surface.

Four days later, the astronauts covered a distance of 3 lakh km and reached the moon. The Apollo 11 mission aroused the curiosity of astronauts and space science enthusiasts. It entered lunar orbit on July 16. It was then decided to land at a place about 50 km southwest of the moon's scatter Sabin dish. The Ranger-2 and Surveyor-2 surveys conducted a comparative study of the area in which the area was found to be flat for landings compared to others. A portion of Apollo 11 was released from the Eagle Command module Scholambias. Neil sent a message to the control center in Houston that they were safe, albeit a short distance from the target. The spacecraft landed northeast of the 50-meter-diameter Swift Cretaceous with 6 seconds of fuel remaining. After the first commander Neil Armstrong landed, ...

For the first time in the history of medical science, an HIV patient recovered automatically

Image
New York, September 1, 2020, Tuesday There is no cure for HIV / AIDS in the world. Some medications can prolong life but do not destroy the virus that weakens the immune system. However, scientists and doctors are surprised that an HIV patient recovers without any treatment. There have been two previous cases in which the virus did not re-enter the body after bone marrow transfer, but it is the first time that the HIV virus has exited without any treatment, perhaps because the immune system has destroyed it. According to information published in the journal Nature, the doctors examined 120 million cells in the body. The AIDS patient was then named ECTU. The fact that the body was free of the HIV virus meant that the body had eliminated it. In addition, 100 million cells from another AIDS patient were examined, in which doctors found only one virus to be active. However, the active virus also appeared to be genetically inactive. This also meant that the genetics of both AIDS patient...

BharatOS for the people of India, of the people of India, by the people of India!

Image
For the security of India's sensitive data, a special type of smartphone operating system was developed The Android operating system (OS) has long dominated the smartphone market. In second place is Apple's operating system. In the case of Android, the phone manufacturing company can make its own changes to the original Android software , but ultimately the ' new ' OS also remains under the control of various private companies. In this matter there is a big problem of security of user's data. Keeping this in mind, the Indian government has been in the forefront of developing its own operating system for a long time. Now there is news that India has become self-sufficient in this regard - a company incubated at IIT Madras has developed such an indigenous mobile operating system. Apparently it has been named ' BharatOS ' . Of course , it is not clear whether he is fully Indian or not. ' BharatOS ' has been developed for computer...
