What is Exoplanetology?

By
Hello, In this post I have talk about Exoplanetology which is a part of Astrology. Exoplanetology is the study of  planet beyond our solar system. Perhaps the greatest challenge for exoplanetology is simply finding such planets. Planets are so small and dim compared to their parent stars, that spotting them against the backdrop of the star is extremely difficult.

Confirmed discoveries of exoplanets have only been made since 1988, though the Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno proposed their existence in the sixteenth century. Observatories on Earth and in space have since found thousands of candidates for planets around other stars and new discoveries are being made on a daily basis.


Scientists working in this field use an interdisciplinary approach to their research: astronomy and astrophysics are particularly important for detection and observation; astrogeology and astrobiology. Exoplanetology is a young science and there are plenty of Things We Don’t Know. Learning about other planetary systems teaches us a lot about our own planet and could potentially lead us to finding extra-terrestrial life! The search for alien life catches many people's imagination and has always been a very public branch of science. So with all this investigation, why has our search revealed nothing? Are we truly alone in the Universe?

RPA - UiPath

By
What is RPA?   RPA (Robotic Process Automation) is technology which let organization to make their task easy by allowing them to automate the task just like a human being was doing them across  application and systems. The purpose of RPA is to transfer the process execution from humans to bots. Robotic process automation interacts with the existing IT architecture with no complex system integration required. UiPath - The vendor UiPath is a New York City-based global software company that develops a platform for robotic process automation (RPA). The company's software monitors user activity to automate repetitive front and back office tasks, including those performed using other business software such as customer relationship management or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.   UiPath develops software to automate repetitive digital tasks normally performed by people. The technology combines emulating how humans read computer screens (AI Computer Vision) with APIs...

Some Pseudoscience and myths we still believe

By
Hi frnd, In this post I have mentioned some science fact and myth, among which some myth are not properly proof by science yet. But we still used to believe in that. That are also known as Pseudoscience. Bad Small Can Make You Sick According to the once-popular miasma theory, diseases were caused by "bad air." Miasma is the name for this foul-smelling, poisonous vapor that carried particles of decaying matter. In 1854, epidemiologists traced a deadly outbreak of cholera to water contamination. Discovering no organic matter in the water that was undoubtedly causing all the cholera, John Snow debunked miasma theory by proving that cholera is a waterborne disease. Soon, germ theory caught on and miasma flew out the window. Diffrent Parts of Tongue Have Different Taste Maybe this is one you learned in school, and maybe even still believe. Sorry, the idea that the tip of your tongue picks up sour tastes, or the middle of your tongue processes sweetness, or whatever, i...

Alien could be discovered on this new class of 'Hycean' exoplanet.

By
In the discovery for Alien life, astronomers have mostly looked for planets of a similar size, mass, temperature, and atmospheric composition to Earth. Recently, the team of astronomers find a class of planets that may prove the existence of Alien Life. Such exoplanets are more numerous in planetary surveys than rocky ones, which means they could be fertile territory in the search for alien life. The researchers have dubbed them 'Hycean' worlds.  In the new study, researchers identify one such class of alien worlds "Hycean" planets, which are up to 2.5 times larger than Earth and feature huge oceans of liquid water beneath hydrogen-rich atmospheres. Hycean planets appear to be incredibly abundant throughout the Milky Way galaxy, and they could host microbial life similar to the "extremophiles" that thrive in some of Earth's harshest environments, study team members said. "Hycean planets open a whole new avenue in our search for life elsewhere,...
