Jupiter Spectacular Image taken from James Webb

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

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

AG Carinae

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.

This Post picture is taken from Nasa official Solar System webpage. This is the static image but in the Nasa official Planets Page we can we see the live tracking of all the planets in our Solar System . This animation will tech us how our Planets are moving in our Solar System. If we search for particular planet we see the closer look of the planet and we can see the solar system from that planet point of view.

The official Nasa Solar System : https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/

These two planets align every 20 years , but this the closest alignment since July 16, 1623 , 397 ago.

You can track the planets with your phone using the Sky Map . This App was created by Google: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.stardroid&hl=en_IN&gl=US
