Trouble in school (Episode7)

The village of ifite was perched on a small hill over looking a new express way that ran into a nearby town. It was once an abandoned road, littered with potholes, until, the commissioner for works emerged from awka. The contract for the road was awarded . Soon a shimmering expressway that turned overnight into a busy highway appeared. St. Peter's College, ifite. Was built in 1947 by an irish missionary, Revered father collins. The school moved from grass to grace. A vast undulating compound of over 70acres. The choice of enough land influencing its location in ifite. The school wore the garland of greatness in academic and extra-curricula activites, having won the state's secondary school footbal cup several times. When Tom got down from the bus, the sun was already looking down on him It burnt the enviroment dry with great intensity. Tom had waited until dismissal to sneak out of school. Mattew had proved unreliable and he decided to undertake the journey alone.

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

scientist targets Moving beyond the solar system to exoplanets

an artisitic view of the kepler space. Ever since the first exoplanet (51 Pegasi b) was discovered in 1995 by Michael Mayor and Didier Queloz, there has been renewed activity and interest in this field. The Kepler and K2 missions of NASA have identified thousands of planet candidates. Now there are nearly 5,000 planet candidates, and of these, some 3,397 have been confirmed as planets, according to the NASA exoplanet archive. The latest entry into the list of confirmed exoplanets is Kepler-56 d, which was added on 13 October. This planet has an orbital period of 1,002 days, accurate to five days, and a mass of nearly 5.61 times that of Jupiter. It is a massive planet that orbits its star Kepler-56 whose radius is about 4.23 times the sun’s radius and which is about 1.32 times as massive as the sun. This planet is only the third to be discovered orbiting its star Kepler-56. Being very massive, its presence was originally inferred by the periodic changes in Kepler-...
