    NAME - PRANAY DUTT DUBEY

    CLASS - 10 B
    ROLL NO - 31
     On Oct 9, 2009 NASA’s LCROSS, or Lunar Crater Observing
    and Sensing Satellite struck water in a cold , permanently dark
    crater at the south pole of the moon .
     After a year of data analysis, NASA reported that it’s mission
    found water ice in the floor of the permanently-shadowed
    crater it’s probe impacted. Later data from three different
    spacecraft indicate a thin film of water coats the surface of the
    soil in at least some areas.
    Water on Mars

     In 2011, NASA released a statement, along with photos,


    saying they have evidence that there might be “flowing water”
    on Mars.
     Scientists’ best guess is that the flows are salty water, which
    warms up just enough during the planet’s summer months to
    melt and slosh around on the surface. Signs that Mars once
    had flowing water have been seen before, but this is the first
    time that such markings have been observed changing over a
    short period of time.
    Waves in Jupiter

     Scientists looking through the Hubble Space Telescope noticed


    that a wave-like structure has formed north of the Jupiter's
    equator .
     Similar waves had been seen when Voyager 2 flew by in 1979
    but, at the time, the waves were considered ephemeral and
    Voyager was simply in the right place at the right time to capture
    them. Their recurrence has parked interest in their origin, with
    one theory suggesting they are baroclinic waves, which form on
    Earth at the beginning of a cyclone.
    Black Holes

     A black hole is a region in space where the pulling force


    of gravity is so strong that light is not able to escape.
    The strong gravity occurs because matter has been
    pressed into a tiny space.
     In 1990, the super strong Hubble telescope was
    launched into space. It was designed to take clear
    pictures of the deepest parts of space and these
    pictures have helped to prove the existence of black
    holes. .Black holes are believed to be dying stars that
    collapse inward from their own weight.
    Second Earth , Kepler-452b
     The planet, Kepler-452b, is described as a larger,
    older Earth and is located around a star 1,400 light
    years from Earth. It is the first terrestrial planet found
    in the habitable zone in a star just like our sun. NASA
    said it is about 60 percent larger than Earth and lies in
    the constellation Cygnus.
     The exact nature of the planet is not known
    specifically, but NASA's modeling suggests it is a
    rocky planet, about five times as massive as Earth,
    orbiting its star once every385 days. The planet's star
    is 1.5 billion years older than our own, and is now
    growing hotter and brighter -- as our star will do in
    about a billion years.
    Eris
     Eris is the most massive and second-largest dwarf planet
    known in the Solar System. Eris is massive than dwarf
    planet Pluto , though Pluto is slightly larger by volume.
     In January 2005, Eris was discovered, sparking a debate
    among scientist about what the definition of a planet really
    was. Eris was originally deemed the 10th planet, but it and
    other Kuiper and Asteroid Belt objects were given the new
    class of Dwarf Planet. Eris is beyond the orbit of Pluto, and is
    roughly the same size, although is was originally thought to
    be larger than Pluto.
    Dark Flow

     Dark Flow, discovered in 2008, is more of a mystery


    than an answer. Patches of matter in the universe
    seem to be moving at very high speeds and in a
    uniform direction that can’t be explained by any of
    the known gravitational forces in the observable
    universe. Astronomers are calling the phenomenon
    “dark flow.”
    Comet ISON comes in from the bottom right and
    moves out toward the upper right, getting fainter and
    fainter.
    Death of the Comet of the Century
     Hailed as the "comet of the century" throughout
    2013,Comet ISON passed by the sun on Nov. 28 before
    breaking apart.
     Discovered in September 2012
     Comet ISON buzzed the sun on Thanksgiving Day
    (Nov.28). But as the comet passed only 684,000 miles
    (1.1million km) from the sun, the gravitational pull and
    intense heat of the star stripped the comet of its dust and
    gas, ultimately disintegrating it to the point where only
    telescopes such as Hubble were able to continue observing
    it.
     Scientists determined that the comet's nucleus was smaller
    than was previously estimated, which contributed to its
    rapid destruction.
     Pluto now has four known moons. Charon was
    discovered in 1978, and is the largest of Pluto’s
    moons. In 2005, the Hubble Space Telescope
    discovered Nix and Hydra.
     The most amazing discovery regarding Pluto’s
    moons came in 2011, when Hubble photographed
    what is temporarily being called P4.
