 WHAT ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES? Crypto currencies are types of virtual or digital type of currencies, which are then converted from any traditional currency into Digital currency. There is bunch of technology behind the regulation of digital currency, but why do we care??, "Who cares about technology, there should be money in my wallet?". With cryptocurrencies you can get rid of banks and other centralized middlemen altogether. That's because cryptocurrencies rely on a technology called BLOCKCHAIN, which is decentralized (that means no single person is in charge of it). Instead, every computer in the network confirms that the transactions . Of course, in the old days, when you traded your chicken with shoes, the values of the exchanged materials were inherited to their nature. But when coin, cash, and credit cards came to play, the definition of money and, more importantly, the trust model of money changed. Another key change in money has been its ease of transaction. The has...

 Hello my wings, I hope you all are healthy & Happy and reading my blogs regularly. THINK IT OVER...... We do not lack resource, what we lack is their proper utilization. Never preach anything which you cannot practice yourself. Nothing is either good or bad but it depends upon how you look at it. We see faults in others even small as a stone but ignore over own as big as a mountain. This universe is the greatest university. We invite more troubles when we get scared to face them. Thoughtless action & action less thoughts are both useless. You cannot reap mangoes, if you sow Berries. Those who speak at length, cannot speak at depth. That man is richest; whose pleasure are cheapest. You cannot lose what you do not possess. HURRY, WORRY, & CURRY are the main cause of aliments. We cannot change the world, it is better to change our own outlook towards it. No one's love is less, our expectation is more. Attachment & prejudice are the only hurdles in the path of liberati...

PLASTIC : AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE        Hello my wings, I hope you all are healthy & happy and reading my blogs regularly. Plastic is substance which has taken its position in our lives, from beginning, toothbrush of plastic to the ending with use of toothbrush, plastic is used by us in different shapes and different purposes. We all know, anything in this world, rather it be living or non-living has boon and bane, and Plastic has too. Plastic was invented in 1907 by Leo Bakeland in the form of Bakelite. Plastic has become very integral part of our lives and can't be neglected, but yes, it can be reduced. For Plastic: Do you know, that syringe of needles are made up of plastics, we cannot repeat the same needle syringe for same patients, because, the same syringe can pass on germs on each and everyone. Plastic is used for convenience. We all know that plastic is lightweight, it is used in various air-bus that reduces weight of the aircraft, therefore reduces the ...

 Hello my wings, I hope you all are healthy and happy, and reading my blogs regularly. SOLAR FLARES   Solar flares were first detected by British astronomer, Richard Carrington, during a particularly large flare in 1859. A solar flare occurs when energy that has built up in the sun's interior is suddenly released. The abrupt discharge of such incredible amount of energy manifests itself in all forms across the electromagnetic spectrum as radio waves, gamma rays and X-rays, although it is difficult to see a flare on the visible part of spectrum because the glare from the photosphere is too great.  If particles from a solar flares come into contact with earth's magnetic fields they can disrupt the communication  such a radio and satellite links. Additionally, these particles are potentially lethal to astronauts working outside the Earth's atmosphere. TIMELINE 1859 - First observation of solar flare by amateur astronomer Richard Carrington. 1956 - Largest observed solar...

 Hello my wings, I hope you all are healthy and happy, and reading my blogs regularly.  SOLAR INTERIOR Beneath the photosphere is the sun's interior. The sun's core undergoes such intense heat and pressure that the process of fusion is unremittingly generated. Surrounding the core is the radiation zone. Photons emitted from the core in the process of fusion collide with ions in this layer and transfer small amount of energy. The radiation zone eventually gives way to convection zone, where the temperature is lower - particles are heated by convection.Less dense hotter gases rise to the surface of the sun, where they cool and sink back down to the depths of the convection zone where they are heated and rise to the surface once again.  MISSION TO THE SUN: 1990 - Mission name : ULYSSES Ulysses was launched towards Jupiter from the Space Shuttle Discovery and used Jupiter's gravity to break out of the ecliptic plane and fly over the Sun's polar regions. 1995 - SOHO -  Th...

 THE SOLAR LAYERS   Hello my wings, I hope you all are healthy and happy, and reading my blogs regularly. The bright white disc that appears in the sky is the layer of the sun called the Photosphere. The Photosphere is essentially the surface of the sun - it emits the visible light that we see here from the earth. Temperature in the Photosphere of our  sun are in excess of 5500 degree Celsius .  The surface of the sun has a granulated appearance, as hot gases rise to the surface and cooler ones fall back down to the convection zone below. Although these may appear as granules, relative to surface features on the Earth, they are vast in size. Although  the Photosphere is the outermost visible layer, there are others above it, often referred to as the solar atmosphere. TIMELINE 400BC - Early people believed that the Earth was flat and that the Sun was a god. The Greek Philosopher Anaxagoras realized that the Sun must be a large body, far from the Earth. He estimat...

  THE SUN : OUR STAR   Hello my wings, I hope you all are happy and healthy and reading my blogs regularly. According to Hindu, Panch-tatva (five elements) are very necessary for life, whether its a complex or simple organism. Panch-tatva are: prithvi(earth),  Jal(water), agni(fire/sun), Vayu(air), akash(space). So lets jump on the topic SUN : OUR ONLY NEAREST STAR. once thought to be exceptional, our sun is now known to be ordinary and rather nondescript star situated on the outskirts of an average galaxy. it is easy to understand how successive generations held the sun in particular esteem - it is the source of life on Earth; it warm ups the world and give sunlight during our daytime. Nevertheless, in the grand scheme of the universe, the sun is another middle-aged, main Sequence star. Its stellar classification, G2, denoting yellowish coloring and its surface temperatures 5000-6000 degrees kelvin, is not extraordinary either; there are countless G2- type stars. Perhaps...

PLANET OR NOT?  Hello my  wings, I hope you all are healthy and happy and reading my blogs regularly. What are the criteria on which any celestial body can be termed as a plant or not: The International astronomical  union tossed in 2006, that on which criteria a planetoids be termed as a planet or a comet: 1. if it is in orbit around the sun; 2.has sufficient mass to get hydro static equilibrium i.e., nearly a round shape  3. clear neighborhood, another than its natural satellites. THE END OF SOLAR SYSTEM: It is very difficult to calculate exactly where our solar system ends. It ends at the point at which objects are no longer affected by the sun's gravitational pull. This is also the area beyond the reach of solar winds and outside the sun's vast magnetosphere. The farthest reaches of the solar system are thought to be surrounded by great HALO, named the Oort cloud, home to millions of comet nuclei and small icy rocks, which, it is speculated, lies a thousands time...

  THE KUIPER BELT Hello my  wings, I hope you all are healthy and happy and reading my blogs regularly. Pluto stands out as somewhat stranger in the solar system. As a tiny ball of rock and ice usually far beyond the orbit of Neptune, it does not fit easily into either Terrestrial or Jovian category. Moreover, the orbit of Pluto is  highly eccentric, resembling that of comet rather than a planet.  It is also very small and, had it been discovered today, would  probably would not have been classified as a planet at all. Instead it is better seen as being one of a number of trans-Neptunian objects, planetoids, and centaurs which make up the Kuiper belt.     what is it ? PLANETOIDS: is small not classified planet or a comet CENTAURS:  icy minute planetoid. The Kuiper belt is full of vast fields of icy asteroids of varying size, centaurs and planetoids orbiting sun beyond Neptune. In July 2005, 10th planet named 2003 UB313 orbiting the sun, and is mu...

POSITIVITY: THE ONLY WAY Bonjour!! I hope you all are in your protected shells, right?   This period is covered with negativity, everyone here is doomed just because of COVID-19. World's population is 767.35 Crore, and India's total population is 139 crore, which is second most populated country. Countries like America, Canada, France, Germany, Russia,etc. are very ahead in medical field. If these wealthy nations are gasping in front of COVID 19, then think in comparison of these countries, India is behind in Medical technology, even so, is very good at serving its citizens. Thank the doctors, nurses, paramedical staff,  and also give courage to the government and have faith in activists.   Imagine if you are attending guests at your home, you have snacks of 5-6 servings, but suddenly 100 of guests comes without any notice, would you be able to arrange, snacks of 100 people in very short times. Its isn't fault of the guests, who didn't informed you about their arrival....

HOLA!! Welcome back to Iconic Blogs! I hope you all are healthy and happy and reading my blogs regularly. I am here to open a world of Planets!!!   The known planets can be divided into 2 groups;   The four planets closest to the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called the terrestrial planets. The term Earth is Latin for land, and these planets are known as terrestrial planets because they are made of hard solid rock.     The other four planets far from the Sun are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus, known as the "Jupiter planets". Jupiter planets are much larger than terrestrial planets, lacking a metallic core and hard surface. The terrestrial and Jupiter planets are separated by the asteroid belt orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter.   These days, Uranus and Neptune are called Uranus planets because they are much smaller than the Jupiter planets and have a coating of methane and ice around the planets. .    Discover more untold ...

 HELLO EVERYONE Stars are very eternally connected to everyone in their childhood days, and who haven't learned about basic of THE SOLAR SYSTEM. Lets directly jump on to how universe is  CREATED  ?????? The planetary system to which the earth belongs is called the solar system. It includes planets, moons, comets, meteors, and asteroids held together by the (most powerful force) gravity of the sun or a star called the sun. The solar system is believed to be made up of nebulae. Gravity causes the nebula to condense, densify and pressurize to form protostars, which heat up to form the sun we see today!!!   The protostar was surrounded by interstellar dust and gas that began to clump together due to gravity. This process continued until about 4.6 billion years ago, when the mass of rock and gas became much larger, and eventually gravity led these irregularly shaped bodies into the spherical planets we see today. Many of the rocks did not grow large enough to form planets...
