NASA's Orion capsule reaches lunar orbit, will return to Earth on December 11


- Orion will fly about 40,000 miles above the moon

- Orion is launched at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston

- Orion was traveling more than 5,700 miles from the surface of the Moon

- The Orion capsule will reach the farthest from the Moon during the mission

New delhi date. 26 November 2022, Saturday

The US space agency has completed the process of inserting the Orion spacecraft into lunar orbit under the Artemis I Moon mission. Orion will fly about 40,000 miles above the moon. Orion is launched at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Orion was traveling more than 5,700 miles from the moon's surface, the furthest it will reach the moon during the mission.

While in lunar orbit, flight controllers will monitor key systems and checkout the deep space environment. "Due to orbital distance, it will take Orion about a week to complete a half-orbit around the Moon, where it will exit orbit for a return trip," the US space agency said in a statement.

About four days later the spacecraft will once again use the Moon's gravitational pull. The lunar flyby will burn precisely timed to slingshot Orion back to Earth before splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on December 11. "The Orion spacecraft will break the record for the longest distance by a spacecraft designed to carry humans into space and return them safely to Earth," NASA said.

Image Envato Dt. 5 April 2023, Wednesday The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the four most distant galaxies ever discovered. New research suggests that this galaxy formed 320 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was in its infancy. Since the Webb Telescope began operating last year, it has opened new doors of discovery for scientists. With the help of this telescope, scientists are searching for new galaxies in the universe. The longest distance at which the universe has been observed by astronomers Astronomers said they have discovered the four most distant galaxies ever. These galaxies formed 300 to 500 million years ago after the Big Bang, 13 billion years ago. The most distant galaxy is called JDES-GS-J 13-0, and is the farthest distance observed by astronomers, said researcher Stéphane Charlot of the Astrophysics Institute in Paris. The masses of all the four galaxies found are very low The Webb Telescope also confirmed the existence of JADES-GS-z10...

Let's bust some tech myths: Signal bars don't indicate signal speed Signal Tower and Signal Bars (image: Envato Elements) Ever found yourself looking for a network by exposing your phone to multiple directions? Those bars next to the antenna towers in your phone surely decide how much network you're receiving but they don't decide signal speed. The signal bars show how much relatively more decibels signal the phone is receiving at that time. The next time your internet starts working slowly and the signal bars are all intact, you now know the truth ab...
