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.

Space: Starship Explodes Into Pieces on Wednesday.

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.

Most Beautiful Astonishing Patterns That Can be Seen in Nature

By Patricks Blog
1.Spots on Giraffe The spots (patches) made on the giraffe are for camouflage and behind each single patch there are branch of blood vessels. 2.Wing of a butterfly. Butterflies  represents some of the most prominent color that are found in nature.  3.Water Droplets on a leaf The tiny fascinating rain drops or the  moisture dew scattered on the leaf creates a remarkable image before or eyes. 4.Mollusk shell The mollusk shells are perfect examples of an printed design. So the shell uses a organ called mantle to create it, and within the mantle secretory cells which produce pigment needed for the design.

Don't Miss The Rare Chance To Spot The Comet Neowise In July, It Wont be Visible For Next 6800yrs

By Patricks Blog
The Comet C/2020 or "Neowise", is seen in the sky over Ballintoy, Britain July 8, 2020, in this picture taken from a social media. Picture taken was on July 8, 2020. (NIGHTSKYHUNTER.COM via REUTERS) All through July, Indians and the rest of the hemisphere of the globe will be able to spot the comet, comet C/2020 F3, also referred to as NEOWISE, within the sky. Discovered earlier this year, the comet is currently nearly 200 million kilometers from Earth and is bright enough to be seen within the clear dawn sky. However, after around 12-15 July, up until sometime in August, it'll be visible in the dark . Though the comet is bright enough to be seen with the eye , in places without clear skies, a pair of basic binoculars are going to be necessary. NEOWISE after being discovered by NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer telescope on March 27 this year. The comet made its closest approach to the sun on July 3, 2020, passing at about 43 ...
