Today, @RRI_Bangalore (in pic) said in a first-of-its-kind work, using data from an Indian telescope, scientists have determined properties of radio luminous galaxies formed just 200-mn yrs after #BigBang — a period known as #CosmicDawn. 1/n
Pointing out that telescopes, both ground and space-based, are aiming to capture faint signals from the depths of the cosmos to better the understanding of our Universe, RRI said they used the Shaped Antenna measurement of the background RAdio Spectrum-3 (#SARAS3) telescope. 2/n
For the study, SARAS-3, indigenously designed and built at RRI, was deployed over Dandiganahalli Lake and Sharavathi backwaters, located in Karnataka, in early 2020 (see pic). 3/n

#Update #Space #Telescope #Debris #Asia

A new telescope facility in the Himalayan range will now keep a watch on the overhead sky to identify transient or variable objects such as #supernovae, #gravitational lenses, #space #debris, and #asteroids. 1/n
Commissioned at Devasthal in Uttarakhand, it'll help survey the sky making it possible to observe #galaxies & other astronomical sources just by staring at the strip of sky that passes overhead. It's the first liquid mirror telescope in India & the largest in Asia. 2/n
Built by astronomers from India, Belgium and Canada, the novel instrument employs a 4m diameter rotating mirror made up of a thin film of liquid mercury to collect and focus light. It’s at an altitude of 2,450m at @ARIESNainital Devasthal observatory campus. 3/n

This is probably the most humbling & awe-inspiring image of the #Universe I know.

It's an infrared image by the #Spitzer #Space #telescope, as wide as the full moon.

The dots aren't stars.
They're galaxies.
Each dot is 100s of Billions of stars.(1/n)

@Todd_Scheve #astronomy Image
The image is part of the S-CANDELS programme, which observed parts of the sky very deeply (50 hours each pointing) with the Spitzer IRAC camera.

The goal was to obtain very sensitive infrared data for very distant #galaxies. See for details:

These data are crucial to understand galaxies in the young Universe.

The faintest dots you can see are galaxies the light of which took over 13 Billion yrs to reach us. A snapshot of the Universe when it was less than a Billion years old. (3/n)

.@NASAHubble telescope captured a stunning photo of the distant spiral galaxy named 'Eye of the Serpent'

A spiral galaxy nicknamed "Eye of the Serpent" is 35 million light-years from #Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope recently snapped a photo of the #galaxy, which is about half the width of the #MilkyWay and has a supermassive black hole at its center.

@NASA @NASAHubble @esa
Its distinct arms, where stars and gas are compressed, create the illusion of an eye — which is why astronomers call it the "Eye of the Serpent."

1-Today is the #Birth #Anniversary of quite possibly the most interesting #God in the #Sanatana #Pantheon - #Ganehsa!

For #AyurvedicAstrology and #VedicAstrology #Tradition in general – Ganesha is the central #God controlling all the #Planets.
2-The Puja timings at most places today in #India are between 11 and 1 during the day.

No tradition is as rich in #Mythical #Symbolism (that if properly meditated upon – can point to the reality) – as the Vedic Tradition.
3-According to the #Vedic Traditions of #Yoga, #Vastu, #Ayurveda and #Jyotish

..the following are the #Metaphors and #Allegories associated with #Ganesha

#5G from space: The role of satellites in 5G

"5G has arrived, and new equipment is currently being installed in densely populated cities across the globe."

#COVID19 #MagicTricks

"In many cases, the demand for 5G capacity is exceeding #infrastructure improvements, especially in sparsely populated areas that are difficult to access."
"With the next generation of satellites – built from #5G architecture – they will integrate with networks to manage connectivity to cars, vessels, airplanes and other #IoT devices in remote and rural areas."
