The James Webb space telescope took the picture of the Jupiter in July.
Astronomers have described as incredible Picture of the Jupiter ever because images show auroras, giant storms, moons and rings surrounding Jupiter.
The Infrared images were artificially coloured astronomer Imke de pater of the university of California who played an important role in this project.
JWST is an International mission led by the Nasa along with ESA and Canadian space agent .
Nasa Said that view of Jupiter created from composite of several pictures from the telescope , Auroras extended to high altitudes above the northern and southern poles of Jupiter.
The Great Red Spot a famous storm which is so big (16350 km), appeared white because of reflected of sunlight.
The JWST was launched in December 2021 and it currently placed about 1.6 million km from Earth.

Reason Behind the Facebook Outage
Last week October 4, Facebook services are down for 6 hours . According to Facebook this outage is not caused by any cyber attacks and main reason for the outage is due to the their BGP , this will show us a path to Facebook Data Centers.
Facebook Detailed about this incident caused due to one of regular maintenance , they mentioned that in order to check quality of global backbone capacity when they entered the command on machine and entire network connection is disconnected and Facebook also lost its connection to own Data Centers around the World. They also further mentioned that they have audit tool to stop these type of issue but due to bug it could not work properly.
These caused the BGP issue this is the protocol will advertise the DNS server IP address to rest of internet. while due to data Center disconnected BGP stop advertising this leads to entire outage around the world.
Facebook apologized for the outage and also they released the detail information about the outage.https://engineering.fb.com/2021/10/05/networking-traffic/outage-details/

OSIRIS-REx HomeComing
Osiris- Rex satellite is returning back to earth from Benu Asteroid .
Osiris -Rex is the mission to collect the sample from the Asteriod Benu, this mission launched in September 8 2016 from Florida.
In August 2018 it has approached Benu and following month we can see the clear picture of Benu. After serious of flights around the Benu, scientist spotted the best place to take the sample and in October 2020 satellite touch the Benu for the Brief moment and collected the samples .
After the collection of sample from Benu, satellite moved to safe distance and sample was safely sealed. The mass of collection sample might be between 60g to 2000g.
On October 22 2020 Osiris-Rex Departure from benu orbit and continued its journey to Earth.
Rex will returned to earth by Sep 24, 2023. When satellite reached the earth orbit it will release it capsule and that will safely fall into the Utah desert.
Benu
Benu Discovered in 1999 and its radius is 262 m. Benu is confirmed potentially hazardous asteroid and we have chance of 0.037 hitting the earth between 2175 to 2199.

Hubble 31st Birthday Gift to US
Hubble Completed is 31 years of journey in Space yesterday – April 24.
During this Day Nasa Goddard YouTube Channel Published the Video about Image taken by Hubble on its 31year of completion in space.
Hubble captured the Wonderful Image of Exploding Star AG Carinae which is 70 times massive than our Sun.
Its Shinning Brilliance Light is equal to the million of our star brightness.
This Sun was Exploded 10000 years Ago so we can see the Halo of Gas and Dust Around the Star center mass.
This Nebulae Covers about 5 Light Years of distance from the center of its Sun .
Hubble Once Show us how the Stars are so Powerful and breath taking to watch. Every Elements in universe except hydrogen and helium are formed by sun and during its explosion.Hubble Deep Field Image is still one of wonderful image taken by Hubble this day. This image is consists of 10 days of exposure of Hubble in particular direction in space from December 18 and 28, 1995. This image shows how big was our universe every dots in that Picture is a Galaxy. Using this image we also find the old light of our Universe which is less than billion years from birth of our Universe.

A NEW SOC FOR MAC
Apple announced its new chip for its new MacBook line up . On November 10,2020 Apple announced the new M1 chip for upcoming mac products.
M1 chip is similar to processor used in mobile Phones. Qualcomm also introduced the similar type of chip named as 8cx for laptop on 2018.
M1 chip features:
8 Core CPU , 8 Core GPU, 16Core Neural Engine.
M1 has 16 Billion Transistors which is built on 5 nm fabrication node. This makes the chip as more power efficient.
Apple Claims the 8 Core CPU is 3.5x faster than intel 1.2GHz quadcore i7 processor and 8 Core GPU can handle 25K threads at the same time. 16 core Neural Engine can run 11 trillion operations per second.
Apple also introduced three Mac products built using this M1 chip MacBook Air , MacBook Pro 13 , Mac Mini.
Memory for this computer built internally inside the M1 chip, so when you purchasing the laptop you should be careful of choosing the memory configuration because you didn’t have a option to increase the memory once you have bought these products.
Apple said all of his mac products will be shifted from intel based chips to apple based SOC within next two years.
Apple may introduce new Soc chip for mac book pro 16 in feature this will be more powerful than M1 Chip to handle heavy task.
Note: This transition help us to use our iPhone and iPad apps in Mac computer.
Our Sun next Solar Cycle
Our Sun next solar cycle started on Sep2020.
Solar cycle happen every 11 years. This solar cycle calculated based on minimum and maximum solar activity. During this period the sun flip the magnetic field from north to south so these leads to heavy solar activity and when sun reaches it peak activity we can see many Sun spots.
Sunspots are usually black in color in visible light, but when we see the Sun in ultra violet wavelength we can see the intensive magnetic field activity .
Why we need to monitor the Solar cycle?
During the Sun’s peak active period large amount of coronal mass ejection will happen , so during this time it will directly affect the earth and heats up the earth atmosphere that will cause damage to electric transmission , pipelines ,communication towers and satellites. Also this huge radiation affect the astronauts in space station.
So Continuous Monitoring will help us to understand pattern of the peak solar activity , Using that we can prevent the electronic equipment by turning off the device during the peak solar period. Also we warn the astronaut not to do the space walk during that period.
Usually peak solar activity happens in middle of the solar cycle. Last one happen at 2012.
This information Updated by Nasa on Sep18 and followed by they Published the video on YouTube. Please check the following link to view discussion between the solar experts:
note: Last major corona mass ejection happen at 2012 and we detected this event only after 9 days from the event.
