JANTAR MANTAR                           

Hi everyone sorry because could not write blog for you all I have a favourite hobbie that is to write down about our most precious UNIVERSE. Jantar Mantar a place in Jaipur,India is one of ancient place where astronomers can research about our space. It has a collection of nineteen architectural astronomical instruments, built by the Rajput king Sawai Jai Singh II, and completed in 1734 CE. It features the world's largest stone sundial, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.Now lets see about its astronomical instruments -

☺Rama Yantra-

The Rama Yantra consists of a pair of cylindrical structures, open to the sky, each with a pillar or pole at the center. The pillar/post and walls are of equal height, which is also equal to the radius of the structure. The floor and interior surface of the walls are inscribed with scales indicating angle of altitude and azimuth. Rama Yantras were constructed at the Jaipur and Delhi observatories only.The Rama Yantra is used to observe the position of any celestial object by aligning an object in the sky with both the top of the central pillar, and the point on the floor or wall that completes the alignment. In the daytime, the sun’s position is directly observed at the point where the shadow of the top of the pillar falls on the floor or wall. At night, an observer aligns the star or planet with the top of the pillar and interpolates the point on floor or wall that completes the alignment through the use of a sighting guide.

The floor is constructed as a raised platform at chest height, and is arranged in multiple sectors with open spaces between them. This provides a space for the observer to move about and comfortably sight upwards from the inscribed surface. The instrument is most accurate near the intersection of floor and wall, corresponding to an altitude of 45 degrees. Here, the markings are at their widest spacing, and give an accuracy of +/- 1’ of arc. For altitude readings greater than 45 degrees, the accuracy diminishes, and diminishes to +/- 1 degree near the base of the pillar.

     ☺Chakra yantra

The Chakra Yantra is the pair of upright metal circles in the photo. They stand between a pair of hemispheres (bowl shapes) lowered into the ground in front of and behind the metal circles. 

As for the Chakra Yantra, it is an instrument for finding the right ascension and declination of a planet or other celestial body observed at night.

To understand these coordinates, it may help if you visualize the earth's lines of longitude and latitude projected up onto the sky, such that the north star corresponds to earth's north pole. Earthly latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator, and earthly longitude is the angular distance around the polar axis as measured from any arbitrary starting point - in this case, the meridian of Jaipur.

The projection into the heavens of earth's latitude lines is called the "declination", and the projection of earth's longitude lines is called the "right ascension". (See Basic Celestial Phenomena for more information about this.)

Now say you want to locate a planet in the sky. You do that the same way you would locate a spot on earth, by moving down from the north pole to the correct latitude and then moving around that circle of latitude until you reach the correct longitude. When you do this on the celestial sphere instead of the earthly one, you get the celestial coordinates of declination and right ascension.

The Chakra Yantra lets you measure these coordinates. The axis of the metal circle (I will discuss only one of the pair; the other is, apparently, the same) is perpendicular to the crossbar (notice where the axis is attached to the upright posts). The axis points towards the north pole, and the circle pivots around this axis. In the middle of the circle is a hole for attaching a sighting tube, which pivots around the circumference of the circle. (You don't see a sighting tube in the photo, because one is not currently attached to the instrument, so just pretend that it's there.)

To find a planet, imagine that the whole contraption, circle and sighting tube, is aimed at the north star (perpendicular to the crossbar), and that the planet is (let's say) 10 degrees below and 20 degrees to the right of the north star. Imagine how you have to move the sighting tube to see the planet. First of all, you pivot the sighting tube 10 degrees down the metal circle. This is the declination, 10 degrees below north, marked as such on the circle. Then you have to pivot the metal circle 20 degrees counterclockwise around its axis

                             

             IMPACT OF PHONES ON HUMAN

☹Hi friends welcome back my post would impress you.I got idea of the topic when I was reading 'THE TIMES OF INDIA'.It was all about students leaving drugs and started utilizing mobiles.Let's check out impact of this e-drug.

The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is a subject of interest and study worldwide, as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world. As of 2015, there were 7.4 billion subscriptions worldwide, though the actual number of users is lower as many users own more than one mobile phone. Mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in themicrowave range (450–2100 MHz). Other digital wireless systems, such as data communication networks, produce similar radiation.

There is no evidence that mobile phone use increases the risk of getting brain cancer or other head tumors.

Cancer-

Mobile phone use does not increase the risk of getting brain cancer or other head tumors. As the United States National Cancer Institute explains: Radiofrequency energy, unlike ionizing radiation, does not cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer. Its only consistently observed biological effect in humans is tissue heating. In animal studies, it has not been found to cause cancer or to enhance the cancer-causing effectsof known chemical carcinogens.

The presence of a cell phone while two or more people are talking face-to-face can generate negative feelings toward the person who has his or her device visible. In two studies conducted at the University of Essex in the United Kingdom, researchers studied the effects of a mobile device during a nose-to-nose conversation. In the first study, 37 pairs of strangers were asked to spend 10 minutes talking to each other about an interesting event that happened in their lives within the past month. Half of the participants were seated in a secluded area with a mobile device present on a desk nearby whereas the other half remained without a cellphone. The results of the study showed that those who had a mobile device nearby were perceived less positive by the stranger, compared to the other participants without a cell phone present.

        RISING POLLUTION AT HOMES

☺SECRET KILLING OF OZONE LAYER-

Nowadays,your lovely refrigrateres are killing ozone layer secretly.The reason is the A.C in refrigerators are known as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs .Which when leaks can mix with air and take years to go to ozone layer.This loveable ozone layer can only absorb UV radiations of sun.when it  reaches to ozone layer and eats it up like its food.

The ozone layer is an area in the stratosphere, between 20 and 40 kilometres above the surface of the Earth, where a rare molecule exists. This molecule is made up of atoms of oxygen, the gas that we normally breathe, but instead of two atoms of oxygen forming a molecule of O2, ozone is composed of three atoms of oxygen in the molecule and is known as O3.

Ozone is a poisonous gas that can cause damage to the lungs if it is inhaled in large concentrations. It has a very distinct acrid odour and is most often to be found near equipment that creates electrical arcs.

While ozone sounds like a nasty gas, it actually is of great benefit to mankind -- indeed all life on the surface of the Earth. The ozone layer shields us from deadly ultra-violet rays.

Back in the 1970s when satellites were beginning to examine the Earth's atmosphere, we started to notice that the ozone layer was being depleted, particularly around the South Pole. Incidents of skin cancer were increasing in extreme southern latitudes and we had no idea why this was happening. However, it soon became clear that two chemicals that were created by man were destroying the ozone and the natural processes were not able to replenish the ozone layer as fast as it was being destroyed. Nitrous oxide, a chemical emitted by automobiles, and chlorofluorocarbons, used in refrigerators and air conditioners, were the cause of the ozone depletion.

International agreements were put in place and technological solutions were found and soon cars sported catalytic converters that reduced nitrous oxide and new refrigerants were found to replace the Freon that formerly kept us cool. For many years, nothing seemed to happen, indeed, the problems appeared to get worse.

Now, 27 years after governments took action, we are finally seeing the levels of ozone increasing in the atmosphere.

Smart glasses for the BLIND: Display turns the world into outlines to help people with poor vision 'see' obstacles and faces

SPECIALITIES-

• 1.Device has a video camera mounted on the frame of the glasses
• 2.Software projects images of nearby objects to the see-through displays
• 3.The glasses don’t replace lost vision, but assist with spatial awareness 
• 4.They're designed for people who are severely sight impaired, but not completely blind
• 5.Prototype display could one day be the same size as standard glass.

Many people with normal vision imagine blindness as utter darkness, the unbroken black of a dead TV screen. But approximately 90 percent of people who are designated as legally blind (defined as having less than 20/200 vision in your better eye, with corrective lenses) have some degree of remaining sight. They may have decent peripheral vision but no sight in the center, or they may have only central sight, or “tunnel vision.” They may be able to see light or large objects that are very close.

SmartSpecs, developed by a research team at a University of Oxford lab, use 3D cameras originally developed for the Xbox to capture real time images. The images are then put into high contrast and displayed on a screen in front of the user’s eyes. Dark things become black, while bright things become white. Far away objects are simply erased to reduce visual clutter.

Many visually impaired users find the high contrast allows them to see things they normally couldn’t. Furniture that might ordinarily blend in with a same-colored floor, turning it into a tripping hazard, becomes bright white. Doorways are enhanced. Even faces, which might normally appear as a blur, turn into crisp black and white cartoons. Smiles that might go unseen can be appreciateated.

“All you need to do is get a few bits and pieces of an image and your brain fills it in,” says Stephen Hicks, the Oxford neuroscientist leading the project. “[SmartSpecs are] sort of tapping into that intuitive sense of vision—you just need a bit of shadow here and there, like walking around your house by moonlight.”

                       BYE !          

Consider this, your state has been hit by a cyclone with wind speeds measuring 300 kilometres per hour. All modern means of communication – telephone, cellphone, wireless sets – lie dead as the cyclone has destroyed all connecting stations and links.

This is what happened during the Orissa cyclone. All communication links broke down as dish antennas, radio stations, telephone lines, satellite links were destroyed.

There was no way people could contact the outside world. This was when a bunch of amateurs, students and radio enthusiasts got together to set up something called an amateur radio or ham radio station.

What is a Ham

Ham is another name for an amateur radio set. It is actually a simple radio transmitter and receiver which can be built and setup using simple and low cost equipment. The ham radio receives radio signals just like your home radio set.

The only difference is that your home radio set receives signals only from a radio station. A ham radio receives signals from another ham radio. So, each ham radio is like a radio-station-cum-radio-receiver built into one. It is actually like operating a radio station from your home.

What you can do with a ham radio

Once you have your ham radio set operational, you can simply tune into a channel (like the radio stations you tune into) and send and receive radio messages to all those who are currently on that channel. It is like an online chat except that it is on a radio set.

With a ham radio, you can connect to other people using ham radios across the globe. Several astronauts carry ham radio sets on their space voyages. If you are lucky, you can actually contact them. You can also contact trekkers or even explorers.

However, you have to write exams to get a ham radio license. This license enables you to setup and operate a ham radio station. Anyone can take these exams and they are very simple to clear. Try your hand at it this summer.

THANK YOU !

RIP: INR 500 & 1000

I feel proud by announcement of PM Mr. Narendra Modi to eradicate Black Money from market stop currency of INR 500 & 1000 from tonight midnight.

Till day I heard the word Black money and surprisingly not find the currency in Black colour while purchase any thing. Tonight while watching news on CNN-IBN & Zee news DNA Report I inquired the same with my father.

He explained me how Black money generated by Builders, Politicians, Government Officials, Big businessmen. I  understand a little but if common man like us understand and know the things why till day no government took action against them.

Hope India will shine now on world economic forum and Terrorist can not make fake currency to destroy India. 

I heard latest feature of NGC (Nano GPS Chip) in new 500 & 2000 INR notes.

Good Night Now!!! 

5 Reasons for learning Bharatnatyam

5 Reasons why should Children Learn Bharatanatyam

Children are the source of happiness and joy for all loving parents. Their laughter, innocence, naughtiness in their eyes and the innate nature to imitate elders bring an instant smile to our face and as parents it brims your heart with content and gusto.

There are a plethora of benefits in learning this classical dance form and we have listed below the reasons for your child to pursue this magnifice dance form.

Discipline

An unruly child is always preferred over a well-disciplined child. Being disciplined is of prime importance in one’s life, for it is a key factor that determines your success. So, being disciplined at an early age helps one to climb the ladder of success. 

Bharatanatyam is not just a dance form; it is also a kind of exercise that helps you to ooze out the fatty acids deposited in the body. Obesity is a major cause of concern that has taken a toll on children. Thanks to junk food and technology for making them couch potatoes. 

Bharatanatyam is precisely that dance form where children learn the art with all vim and vigor. When inducted at the right age the dance becomes a fun process and let the child to explore more on the nuances of it. So, let those bubbly ones join the classical dance form that gratifies the body and mind alike.

Learning becomes fun

By learning Bharatanatyam children enter a life of discipline, devotion and passion. Being a dance form that blends dance, music and theatre Bharatanatyam is an activity that instills poise and self-improvisation in the children. Let your children pursue Bharatanatyam and see the positive difference in them. By doing so, you not just contribute in spreading the legacy of the dance form to next generation but also help them in their personal growth.
