That "Once In A Blue Moon" Is today!!

“Once in a blue moon' is not just a phrase we use for those occasional events.

It’s a rare statistical event which occurs when a full moon occurs twice in a calendar month.

And today is the day, when for the first time in two n half years, we will be treated to our second full moon in August, thanks to the moon last reaching its peak on August 2.

Space Junks : Bigger threat to future space missions!

As we celebrate the successful landing of NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, TechStrip looks into the danger in-waiting for the future missions due to the millions of space junk revolving around our planet Earth.

“Space Junks” or “Space Waste” or more technically “Space Debris”, are the million of objects floating  orbit around our Earth that were created by humans but no longer serve any useful purpose. These objects are everything from released rocket stages and deactivated satellites.

The majority of the estimated tens of millions of pieces of space debris/space junk are small particles, less than 1 centimetre (0.39 in). These include dust from solid rocket motors, surface degradation products such as paint flakes, and coolant released by nuclear powered satellites.
