Neptune turns 1 year on July 12

Neptune, the planet has completed the first orbit of the sun July 12 Since its discovery in 1846 by Johann Galle. Planetary Society of India (PSI) will come up with a program that helps teachers better understand the planet. On July 12, astronomy, designed by the laboratory PSI held in All Saints High School in Abids. Science and social science teacher of each school will participate in this seminar.










 The workshop aims to understand better, less recognized, discussing the facts about the planet that the discovery of the planet showed the way to the discovery of Uranus and Pluto. Planet surrounded by rings similar to Saturn and its 13 moons.





The planet Neptune was recognized about 165 years ago, and comes with one year to 12 July. Planet can not be seen with the naked eye, binoculars and so you need to view it. The exact length of time is not yet assured, since it had previously announced that it will take about 16 hours and 6 minutes.

 But recently, a scientist, Erich Karkoschka, from the University of Arizona in Tucson reported that the length of day is 15 hours, 57 minutes and 59 seconds. Experience in expert workshop participants.

magnetic bubbles fill our the solar system's edge

The edge of the solar system is filled with rough seas of magnetic bubbles, astronomers said Thursday. The changes come up with ideas on the remote region and how the rest of the galaxy in interaction with the solar system.


 The two Voyager spacecraft, which spent more than three decades, moving toward the outer edge of our solar system found unexpected changes in the magnetic field that extends outward from the Sun. This discovery was made when they reached the heliosheath that the outer solar system is called.

 The long sausage-shaped magnetic bubble is about 160 million miles wide. A computer model was used to smash the satellite data to postulate their existence because they are not visible to the naked eye.


They make the area very turbulent, ;just like the bubbliest parts of your bathtub,; says University of Maryland astronomer James Drake.

The finding means that harmful galactic cosmic radiation access to the rest of the solar galaxy must first pass through the sea of ​​bubbles, causing them to bounce around like a pinball before finally entering the solar system. Scientists have measured time-rays, which may be adverse health effects for astronauts, but this may change theories of beams and how to reach us from interstellar space.

 Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 has reached the helios Heath in the last ten years and will continue to travel through.
