NASA scientists spotted a dark hole on the sun’s surface that could send powerful solar flares to earth. This “monster sunspot” is 11 times wider (more than 60,000 miles) than the Earth turned to face our planet. Our star may soon start spouting off some powerful storms.
![Top 5 Front End Frameworks [Infographic]](https://thetechjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/frontend-150x94.png)
Front end frameworks are very popular and widely used on the web. In more than one ways, these frameworks have made the lives of coders and web designers a lot easier. They include the likes of jQuery which is the most popular JavaScript library, Prototype, Struts, Bootstrap and and JavaScript. Now, a very interesting infographics furnishes the details about these front end frameworks.
NASA’s space shuttle Enterprise took a spectacular tour on the journey to its new home – Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum. It flew over New York (NY) city docked on a aircraft carrier. People of NY snapped some close shots of it. Enterprise landed on its temporary home, John F. Kennedy Airport.
NASA scientists have detected a highly potent greenhouse gas, Methane, is being released in large volume from the crumbling Arctic Ocean ice. If the massive volume of methane gas releases into the atmosphere from the cold waters beneath, then this could create bad effects on the climate. In fact, it’s a catalyst for global warming.
Scientists have assessed the feasibility of space based solar power for a long time now. Solar power satellites, specifically made for this purpose, can collect the unobstructed sun light and send the power towards Earth using low density microwave. The generated power would be cheaper, and would provide an eco-friendly source of energy for Earth. Although, there has not been any progress regarding this matter for a long time, some movements regarding this has been observed recently.
Space Shuttle Endeavour (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105) is one of the retired orbiters of the Space Shuttle program of NASA. Endeavour was delivered by Rockwell International Space Transportation Systems Division in May 1991. It has an amazing view inside with hundreds of lights and blinking buttons. However, this space shuttle Endeavour prepares to make its last journey.
In the year of 2009, the H1N1 flu pandemic propagated across more than 200 countries and killed more than 18,000 people. How it extended so many countries and killed massive people within a very short time, that was a question. The reason found, flu diagnosis was often taking too long and resulting in frequent false negatives. Now, after the 4 year study of researchers from Boston University, Harvard, and the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, they claim that, they have built a microfluidic chip that rivals in accuracy the gold-standard diagnostic test known as Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). This RT-PCR is faster, cheaper, accurate and disposable.
Our planet earth is surrounded by a magnetosphere. A magnetosphere is formed when a stream of charged particles like the solar wind interacts with and is exchanged by the own magnetic field of a planet or similar body. Recently, researchers have created some pictures. These pictures show that how solar storms compress our planet’s protective magnetic field. No doubt, these findings may help improve communications satellite design.
