Earth: Its Moving Slow Than its Usual Speed

Earth: The earth is spinning faster than its usual speed

Currently our earth is spinning faster than ever for the first time in the last 5 decades, the scientists discovered and it may lead to negative leap second added to this year.

The rotation of the earth is affected by several factors which include a dynamic climate, flowing molten core and atmospheric pressure.

It’s going to be 0.05 milliseconds shorter than 86400 seconds which constitutes to 24-hour period of a day said Graham Jones (astrophysicist and science communicator).

While the last time the shortest recorded day by millisecond was in the year 1937.

So if the earth continues to foster its spin wall clocks would need to skip a second in order to match the mass of the earth’s space.

But in our practical daily live the millisec. have no importance but in astronomy computer networks and navigation the negative leaps second is most highly important to carry out the calculations and to avoid any errors.

The scientists at International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) can track the precise moment by keeping an eye as the star diminishes in the sky at a certain location on each day.

He was born in 1891 in an Untouchable cast known as Mahar, and though from that time throughout his life, since childhood, he fought against the untouchability. In the year 1912, Ambedkar received his first degree in political science and economics from Bombay University after which he got a job in Baroda and then he decided to move to the US. Afterward, in 1916 he received a doctorate from Columbia University and according to him, it was the first place where he experienced social equality. He ...

By Patricks Blog
  The 160-foot-tall starship of SpaceX busted into big mighty flames at Texas on Wednesday as it touched altitude of 41000 feet before returning back to the Launchpad. The starship was approaching the ground at a faster rate than expected causing it burst into  flames and bombarded into pieces which destroyed the test vehicle. However, during the decent it changed its position from horizontal to vertical before landing making it a great achievement for SpaceX. The futuristic starship was built for a complete 2 stage reuse Elon musk said, as represents the future rocket that will carry humans to the moon and Mars.
