Apr. 2, 2021: Solar Storms Seen In 1582 Could Hit Earth Again And Cause Damage, Warn Scientists. Monit Khanna 5 hours ago. The 16th-century Portuguese chronicle describes what eyewitness Pero Ruiz Soares saw in Lisbon, “A great fire appeared in the sky to the North, and lasted three nights. All that part of the sky appeared burning in fiery flames; it seemed that the sky was burning. Nobody remembered having seen something like that… At midnight, great fire rays arose above the castle which were dreadful and fearful. The following day, it happened the same at the same hour but it was not so great and terrifying. Everybody went to the countryside to see this great sign.” Researchers (in their study) reveal that something similar was experienced across feudal Japan where people in Kyoto got to see a similar display of fiery red skies. There have also been records of the mention of this event in Leipzig, Germany, South Korea and several other nations in Europe and East Asia.

Indian amateur photographer from Canada captures Whirlpool galaxy with his Canon camera, check details. 6 hours ago.The image is shot with Astro modified Canon T2i and 8 inch Meade SC telescope with focal length 2032mm. The amateur photographer has said that "it took him three hours to balance this 10 kg set up on Eqr pro mount in order to guide perfectly at that focal length on windy dark night." He added by saying that "Collimation fell apart due to a drop in temperature to -10. But when 1st sub popped up camera screen, I was stunned to have photographed from 31 million light-years away from earth!". The Whirlpool Galaxy is also known as Messier 51a, M51a, and NGC 5194. The galaxy and its companion, NGC 5195, smaller galaxy, NGC 5195, has been circling around M51 in a gravitational collision for the last half billion years or so. It's now slightly behind M51. The star bridge connecting them and the dust clouds are covering part of NGC 5195 are both a result of the ongoing gravitational interaction, which will eventually cause the two galaxies to merge in the upcoming time.

Apr. 3, 2021: MY OBSERVATION AT VISAKHAPATNAM from 9 PM to 10:30 PM on 3rd April 2021. "An unusual RED lightning and minimal thunder, accompanied by severe white-Bluish lightning from 9 PM to 9:30 PM, but later continued till 10:30 PM with subdued thunder and lightning of both types the RED and usual lightning:"
Apr. 3, 2021: At 9 PM: There was a severe rain and thundershower around 9 PM on the night of 3rd. I was busy using the Laptop, and all of a sudden the lights were off and I was forced to shutdown the Laptop. Actually there was a sudden frightening noise that startled me while I was working on the Laptop. Next day from Newspapers, I came to know that the thunder shower started around 8 PM. But since I was busy with the Laptop, I have not paid attention to the sudden burst of the rain. All of a sudden the loud noise made me to wonder what happened. When I looked up I saw my plug point connection to the modem was out, in fact, it flied away. From 9 PM to almost 10:30 PM I was watching the heavy rain sitting on the chair in the big hall and wondered how the lightning was occasionally RED. The usual lightning was also there with the bright and violent splash of white light. "What attracted my attention was the RED light that was not as high as originating like the splash of the white-bluish lightning". I am completely amazed since it was the first time I noticed the RED flashes of lightning unlike the white-blueish lightning. I have found that the RED flashes occurred almost once in 3 or 4 minutes. The rain was a roaring splash of the vehement rainfall that was at its peak from 9 PM to about 9:30PM but later it dwindled as the usual heavy rain. That rain continued till the 10:30 PM, with the distant thunders and graced with occasional splashes of RED lightning. I wondered since it was FIRST TIME, I noticed the RED lightning, I watched it sitting in a comfortable chair and watched the splendor of the lightning and thunder. The RED light has not produced that much of severe thunder as the usual case, with the shiny silver lining of white-bluish lightning. Next day while going through my MOBILE PHONE survey of OPERA NEWS, I came to know that the lightning of a similar kind was in Madras also. The Tamilnadu lightning and obviously the Vizag lightning both moved towards the SEA. Presumably, they joined the Thunder and Lightning, from Tamil Nadu that moved towards the Myanmar. My Laptop totally failed and, the resource person couldn't repair it till the morning of Tuesday i.e., 6th April 2021. My original version of this writing totally disappeared from my Laptop, due to the sudden lights off and on the night of the 6th, I am able to recast it and presented in my web. Many trees and houses and sheds have been damaged in Visakhapatnam and in the last few days the accounts of these mishaps due to the heavy rain were presented in several newspapers, especially Telugu papers gave exhaustive and lengthy descriptions for nearly three days", by Prof. Dr. Kotcherlakota Lakshmi Narayana. Presented in my Facebook also.

Apr. 6, 2021: 3 hrs ago: Dark matter 'annihilation' may be causing the Milky Way's center to glow. A mysterious glow coming from the center of the Milky Way might be caused by annihilating dark matter — elusive matter that emits no light. According to new research, heavy dark matter particles may be destructively colliding at the center of the galaxy, creating elementary particles, as well as gamma rays — the unexplained light seen emanating from the galactic center. The source of this unexplained light, called the galactic center excess (GCE), has been debated by scientists ever since it was discovered in 2009. When analyzing data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, scientists noticed a faint glow of gamma rays that couldn't be explained by known sources. In the years since, scientists have proposed a range of sources, from dark matter to more conventional sources, such as extremely fast-spinning stars called millisecond pulsars.
Apr. 6, 2021: New Diamond Battery Will Last 28,000 Years, Powered By Nuclear Waste. Mayank Mohanti 2 days ago. Diamond battery will be available by 2023. The Nano Diamond Battery (NDB) says that the radioactive battery is 'completely safe' for humans and it hopes to start selling the battery to commercial partners, including space agencies for long duration missions, within the next two years. The company is also working on a consumer version of the battery that could power a smartphone or electric car for over a decade without a charge. This doesn’t just save the hassle of recharging our devices but also holds key to the environmental implications of the manufacture and disposal of batteries.

Apr. 7, 2021: Four Indian astronomers with foreig scientists trace rare supernova explosion. Surendra Singh 21 hours ago. A team of four Indian astronomers, along with international collaborators, has tracked a rare supernova explosion and traced it to one of the hottest kind of stars called Wolf–Rayet stars (WR stars), which are highly luminous objects a thousand times that of the Sun. The team presented the detailed optical evolution of SN 2015dj using data spanning up to 170 days after its discovery. Their discovery and detailed study were recently published in ‘The Astrophysical Journal.
Apr. 8, 2021: 3 hrs ago: Meet muons — tiny subatomic particles that indicate there could be a fifth fundamental force of nature. Tiny subatomic particles called muons aren’t moving according to the known laws of physics. An international team of 200 physicists believes that the behaviour could be explained by a fifth fundamental force of the universe that is yet to be discovered. Polly and his colleagues — an international team of 200 physicists from seven countries — found that muons did not behave as predicted when shot through an intense magnetic field at Fermilab. This discovery could open the doors to new physics, but there’s still a one in 40,000 chance that it may just be a fluke. Just when humanity thought it’s got it all down, the universe throws a right hook for scientists to puzzle over a new unexplained phenomenon — like muons wobbling faster than they should be when they’re shot through an intense magnetic field. This is exactly what happened at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in the US. An international team of 200 physicists from seven different countries have so far been unable to solve the conundrum. These tiny subatomic particles defied the known laws of physics to suggest that there may be a fifth fundamental force at play. And this puts up a challenge to the Standard Model of Physics.

Apr. 8, 2021: Elasticopter: Hyderabad researcher’s ‘breakthrough’ drone can adjust to the payload. Rahul V Pisharody 1 day ago. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with adjustable arms, making it able to lift packages of different sizes and shapes, is the latest innovation from the researchers of the Robotics Research Center (RRC) at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-H) in Hyderabad. ‘Elasticopter’, a patent-pending design developed by 24-year-old Suraj Bonagiri, is considered a big breakthrough in drone technology. Suraj’s prototype is a rectangular-shaped drone with four propellers and a flexible chassis (that expands and collapses) that does not cause mid-air turbulence despite its adjustments. “In our design, there is zero prop wash interference with the payload no matter its size. In this method of attachment to cargo, the mass is always centered and leads to optimal battery performance,” says Suraj.

Archeologists have discovered ruins of an ancient city in Luxor, located on the east bank of the Nile River in Southern Egypt. The city is said to be more than 3,000 years old. The city is known as 'Aten' or the 'lost golden city' and it dates back to the reign of King Amenhotep III, the ninth king of the 18th dynasty, who ruled Egypt from 1391 till 1353 BC. It is said that King Amenhotep III ruled for nearly four decades. His reign is known for its opulence and the grandeur of its monuments, including the Colossi of Memnon two massive stone statues near Luxor that represent him and his wife. His kingdom stretched from Euphrates in west Asia to modern day Sudan.

Once-rare Arctic lighting is now more frequent—and may reshape the region. Alejandra Borunda 23 mins ago. Lightning in the Arctic used to be so vanishingly rare that people could go their whole lives without seeing a flash. But as the region warms rapidly, it may become more common—with effects that could reach outside the Arctic. “When I first came to Fairbanks, I’d see a thunderstorm and I’d be surprised,” says Uma Bhatt, a meteorologist at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks who has studied lightning’s rise in the Arctic and has lived in the state for 22 years.

Apr. 10, 2021: Astronomers discover 12 rare quadruple quasars that can better tell rate of universe expansion. Anjali Marar 10 hours ago The first quadruple quasar image was captured in 1985 and since then, only 50 such quasars have been identified. Gravity causes massive objects like galaxies and emissions from them to bend over time and space. Similarly, emissions from a quadruple quasar are said to pass through such deflection causing 'natural' lenses. Some deflection is resultant of the presence of numerous galaxies acting as barriers located between a source and Earth, ultimately splitting it into four images. "We needed to confirm that the four closely packed images were not a pure chance alignment of four independent sources, but really four images of a single, distant source, lensed by an intervening galaxy."
Apr. 10, 2021: But in an effort to try and find a use for such algae, a research team from Uppsala University, Sweden, has recently managed to design a record-breaking "green" lightweight battery that is incredibly easy to produce and could just even out the environmental consequences of these blooms.The unwanted blooming of the green alga Cladophora along the Baltic coast, and elsewhere in the world, may not only be a bad thing. A research team at Ã…ngström Laboratory in Uppsala has discovered that the extremely special nanostructure of the cellulose in these algae serves extremely well as a basis for new, environmentally friendly batteries.“This opens new potential for large-scale production of environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and light-weight energy storage systems,” says Maria Strømme, professor of nanotechnology.

Apr. 11, 2021: Indian cuisine goes long back into history; archaeologically reflecting more than 7000 years of spice history that tells us of the evolution of spicy flavours, which later branched out to form the different regional cuisines. Excavations in the Harappan sites have revealed that herbs and spices such as turmeric, ginger, pepper, etc were used as added flavours to dishes of millets, barley, wild rice, etc. InCenturies before the Greek and Roman civilizations came into existence, Indian spices found their way to Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Arabia. Later Greek merchants would set their sails and reach the port markets of south India, to buy various luxury items amongst which spices were always on their top list. Historians believe that the Parthian wars were fought so that the trade routes to India were not disrupted. Spices and other luxury items from India lured many explorers over the centuries to lead expeditions and crusades to the East.

Fig.14 Electric Mushrooms found in Meghalaya. Rare "Electric Mushrooms" Found In Meghalaya, So Bright That Locals Use It As Natural Torches. Gursharan Bhalla 2 hours ago. Scientists discovered the glowing mushrooms, used by locals as natural torches. Of about 120,000 described fungi species, only around 100 are known to be bioluminescent or capable of emitting light. After hearing reports from locals of “electric mushrooms”, they headed to West Jaintia Hills District in Meghalaya. It was a drizzly night and a local person guided the team to a bamboo forest, which is part of a community forest, and asked them to switch off their torches. A minute later, the group was awestruck by what they saw: in the midst of the darkness an eerie green glow emerged from dead bamboo sticks that were smothered in tiny mushrooms. The fungus emits its own light – a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This mushroom was only found growing on dead bamboo (Phyllostachys mannii). Special elements could be present in the bamboo substrate that this fungus prefers. So far this mushroom is known from Krang Shuri, West Jayantia Hills District and Mawlynnong, East Khasi Hills District in Meghalaya. Only a few species of glowing fungi have been reported from India. Two have been reported from the Western Ghats, one in the Eastern Ghats, and one in the state of Kerala, among others. Glowing fungi have also been spotted in the forests of Maharashtra and Goa (part of the Western Ghats) but they have not been scientifically reported.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The author is indebted to Late Prof. K. R. Rao D.Sc. (Madras) D.Sc. (London) for stimulating encouragement to publish my articles on Science & Technology given in trusciencetrutechnology@blogspot.com. He is also grateful to Late Mrs. Peramma Rangadhama Rao for her admiration and support for the publication of my articles. Her biodata and personal details I have listed in the trusciencetrutechnology@blogspot.com. She told me that the Meteorides that fall on the Earth carry with them the human life ingrediants. Recent find of water and other earthly elements in distant objects reported by Japanese [object 25143 Itokawa asteroid has shown that the object had both extraterrestrial water and organic material] and also Americans is thrilling. When her son Dr K V N Rao (Ill) had been to USA, she expected a possible trip to visit USA (not materialized) and always observed the 4th July, the day of US independence.
