Adithya L1 - A Leap Towards the Sun

An Indian by heart with a metallic exoskeleton took a ambitious leap on September 2 at 11:50 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh with a vision of exploring the Sun and its flaky skin.

Aditya L1 , India's first space - based solar observatory housed with seven payloads ( instruments ) successfully embarked on its journey towards the void from second launch pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre in AP.

Aditya L1 is aiming to reach at the L1 ( Langrage 1 ) , where it is going to observe the dynamics of Sun's Chromosphere and Corona , study the physics behind partially ionized plasma and Coronal Mass Ejections ( CMEs ) and comprehend on space weather and origin , composition and dynamics of solar wind.

$ Langrage.....These are positions in space where gravitational forces of a two body systems like the Sun and Earth produce a kind of cushion region which significantly reduce the Spacecraft Fuel consumption.

A micro-idea with a initial budget of 3 crores boomed and expanded its scope into a extensive project with a price tag of 378 crores led by Nigar Shaji as the Project Director and K Sanskarasubramaniam as the Principal Scientist of the solar mission.

# Aditya L1 would be orbiting at 1.5 million km away from the Earth but its only 1% of the total distance between Earth and Sun.

Why do Bananas 🍌🍌 grow upward 👆??

"B-an-an-a" , the nature's gravity defying fruit and every KG ( even grade 10😅) student's most confusing dictation word ( The fruit which is easy to eat but difficult to write ). Come lets find the science behind this Upside Down Yoga position !! Bananas 🍌 show a phenomenon called Negative Geotropism - Cheating the Gravity and Soil to leap towards the Sun 🌞 ( That's why they say Bananas are not grounded😅 ). This phenomenon is supported by agent " Auxin " which is a hormone present in the tips of stem. Agent Auxin helps in adapting Banana plant to place their leaves and unripened bananas to receive as much sunlight possible for Photosynthesis. Banana is curved because of the tug of war between gravity and agent auxin. So the final verdict is that whether a banana is yellow or green it should be as good as Pathanjali Guru Ramdev in Yoga.

Why Insects are Attracted to LIGHT ?

Insect's existential attraction towards Alluring Light...... Come Let's unveil the Mystery of Light and the Insect !!! 1) Navigation 🧭: Insects like moths and beetles 🐞 use moon 🌙 as a reference to navigate during the night.

Same happens with these innocent beings. They also think 🤔 these bright spots to be Mating Places. 3) Heat and UV attraction : During low temperatures in atmosphere in the night Insects see these Lights as a Source of Heat 🔥. Some insects are also extra sensitive to UV and get attracted to artificial light sources. So whether it is a Philips or Orient light it would be considered great only if attracts Insects

ONION = CRY ???
