Scientists cannot say precisely where earth's atmosphere starts. The air gets thinner and thinner as we move up from the surface of the earth. Space doesn't have a strict restricted boundary, the atmosphere extends much farther than the internationally agreed upon line of space which is conventional boundary between atmosphere and outer space. There is no firm boundary where space begins. However, this line which forms the 'Boundary of space' is known as the 'Karman' Line which rests at 100 km above the surface of the earth and it's crossed by everything from sounding rockets to space planes.<\/p>
According to the BIG BANG theory, 13.7 billion years ago explosion in lunas(a highly compressed atomic size body) had taken place due to pressure inside it. After the explosion, dust particles along with hydrogen accumulated due to gravity, galaxies are formed. After this, formation of star begun due to fusion of hydrogen and helium. After 300 million years due to stars formation, some of the stars exploded due to extreme pressure. This is called 'Supernovae' which was the reason of formation of elements like carbon, iron and all other except hydrogen and helium. 'Supernovae' also increased the distance between celestial bodies. Thus, making the space vast.<\/p>
Earth is undoubtedly one of the celestial bodies which is composed of matter and has a mass, an atmosphere and little creatures running around and on it. Outer space is the void that exists between celestial bodies. It is an expanse of empty space in which nothing (or nearly nothing) exists.<\/p>
Space is any extent in 3D with relative position and direction. Space is everywhere. That means the edge of space is less of a barrier and more of a moving target, changing as we achieve new milestones and achievements in spaceflight. Space begins where infinity begins. Since we don't know where infinity begins, the starting limit of space is beyond the scope of our knowledge.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528163207741","data":"5b15eb9c7473c"}]
There are some moments that makes us to think, this is a literal miracle... In aviation industry miracles are not so common when something bad happens. Most of the people are not lucky enough to survive some of the worst incidents that happens in this industry. One such near disaster was averted by Chesley Sullenberger, popularly known as Sully. Let's take a look on how this miracle man has done it...<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528136451364","data":"
It was on January 15 of 2009, Captain Sully and his First officer Jeff Skiles were piloting US Airways Flight 1594 heading to Charlotte from New York. Few minutes after a decent take off the plane underwent a bird strike as they lost thrust in both the engines. Initially situation seemed in control and the plane was advised to return to LaGuardia airpot, New York. But, Sully later realised that it's not possible to go for a landing in any of the nearby airports and they would definitely end up in Hudson river. Thanks to his experience of over 4 decades in flying, the Captain made right choices at right times and miraculously landed the plane safely on Hudson and the rescue followed. All the 155 passengers along with the crew were safe and Captain Sully was an instant hero. The news spread all over the world and he became a fame overnight. Later on, he was pulled aback by the results of the investigation on the incident. According to the investigation by NTSB , things could have gone better, if Sully would have taken right decision he would have actually made it to one of the airports. But, after the real time simulations and the taking the exact conditions in to consideration it was well proven that Sully made the perfect choice by getting the plane land on the Hudson. The movie SULLY depicted these incredible set of events. It is going to be a great add-on for your must to watch movie list.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528139514005","data":"5b158f560d1a7"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528139516821","data":"5b1590a6d43d6"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528137770444","data":"
We may end up in the Hudson...these are the words by Sully to the ATC before actually landing on the Hudson. What Sully has done is absolutely amazing and requires a lot of guts, perfect sense of time and more importantly cool headedness. All this made the Miracle on the Hudson happen and would always remain in the history as one of the extraordinary moments. <\/p>"}]
We gotta accept the fact that we are turning less and less resistant to diseases. Actually, we are left with no other choice than intaking antibiotics and stuff in order to stay healthy and that's exactly what making us less immune.

The Bacteriophages are the deadliest beings on Earth without any doubt and are the most abundant ones as well. The Bacteriophages are basically viruses that attack and feed on their hosts. Specific kind of Phages attack specific bacteria and ensure their survival . Luckily, they cannot effect us but they actually turned out to be good friends of us when we came to know more about them. Antibiotics have always been an efficient weapon of ours to deal with bacteria that has feared us through ages. But, the antibiotics are now turned out to be bit dangerous as we are multiplying their complexity as of the Bacteria that are continuously evolving against the Antibiotics. These Bacteriophages when injected into the human can target the specific disease causing bacteria and will kill them without any side effects.

For all space geeks and space enthusiasts out there...how amazing it would be to get a chance to spend a moment or so in the space or on ISS. That would be a spectacular experience, especially when you look back at our planet and feel it's true beauty. But, it takes a lot to get to all these and by lot, I literally mean it. Let's take a look at a man who kinda made space as his home and spent most time in space longer than any other human ever spent.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528224034448","data":"5b16d93713a82"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528220150960","data":"
The so-called Obi-Wan of Space, Gennady Padalka is the one we would be talking about. He was a senior and a very experienced Russian Air force officer and probably that might be one of the reasons that made him one of the greatest commanders on ISS. In the year 1989, at the age of 31 he was selected as a Cosmonaut. From then on, he was part of five missions to space. His first one being the one to Mir (a typical Russian Space Station) and the later four were to ISS. It was his expertise that made him a real asset when it comes to commanding the expeditions to the ISS. He was considered as one of the best commanders the ISS ever had. He voluntarily took up the challenge of examining the effects of microgravity on humans when exposed to long durations in space. He served as a commander for Expeditions 9, 19 and 39 and was a flight engineer for his last Expedition 43. It was on June 28th, 2015, Padalka surpassed Sergei Krikalev's record of 803 total days in space during Expedition 43 of ISS and his 5th trip to space. On 12th September, 2015 he safely landed on Earth setting a new record of total 878 days spent in space. In April of 2017 he resigned as a Cosmonaut. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528222236122","data":"5b16d7ab6caf8"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528222240421","data":"5b16d7b281620"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528222242285","data":"
According to his crew mates and people who knew him through the space missions, Padalka was a great man and the best in the business. According to Mike Fincke, an American astronaut who is a well known crew mate to Padalka from Expedition 9, Padalka is such a great commander and the one who really understood the International part of the International Space Station and brought the best in his crew and that's exactly what made him a man of Planet Earth, not of Russia in particular....<\/p>

We have five oceans<\/i> in the world and every year more than five million<\/i> tons of plastic is being deposited<\/u> into them. <\/p>\n

On 8th of June<\/b>, we celebrate World Oceans Day<\/b> to remind everyone of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our planet, providing most of the oxygen we breathe. The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world's oceans. They are a major source of food and medicines and a critical part of the biosphere. In the end, it is a day to celebrate together the beauty, the wealth and the promise of the ocean.<\/p>\n
Plastic pollution is causing tremendous harm to our marine resources. 80% of all pollution in the ocean comes from people on land, 8 million tonnes of plastic per year ends up in the ocean, wreaking havoc on wildlife, fisheries and tourism, plastic pollution costs the lives of 1 million seabirds and 1,00,000 marine mammals per year, fishes eat the plastic, and we are having the same fish, plastic is causing $8 billion in damage to marine ecosystems each year.<\/p>\n
So, we need to minimise the usage of plastic and prevent them from being deposited into the oceans. This is in our hands, and we have to put a step forward from banning plastic usage. Because, \"Our Oceans-Our Future\". <\/p>\n","id":"1528472945187","type":"txt"},{"data":"

Going through the interesting facts about India, one of the facts that grabbed my attention is the India\u2019s first floating post office. The Dal Lake in Srinagar introduced the India\u2019s first floating post office in 2011. As we know for a fact that, India has the highest number of post offices in the world but the one thing that attracts the tourist in Srinagar Dal Lake is the floating post office which was inaugurated by the former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in August 2011. The post office turns out to be a boon for the state tourism and is a tribute to the Dal Lake. The post office has a huge collection of stamps which is kept as a museum, which showcases its history and other fascinating stuff about postal stamps. Moreover the shops also sell postal stamps with other things. It also allows calls, emails to the tourists to connect to their family and friends. Another interesting fact about the post office is that the letters posted in this post office are carried out with a special design with the picture of landscape of the lake and with other attractions from Srinagar. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528477687835","data":"5b1ab7fd11c14"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528477723868","data":"
The visitors to the post office are not allowed to go inside it by wearing shoes. The idea cane up during the British period and was originally named as the Nehru post office but was closed because of the militancy in 1990s but later it was renamed as the floating post office by then chief post master, John Samuel. During the 2014 flood it was broken but was rescued and later it was bought back from the higher ground when the water level receded. The beautiful floating post office adds more beauty to the Dal Lake of Srinagar.<\/p>"}]
54.6 million Kilometres away from home. The thing that has and is fascinating us the most and could even be our next home, Mars. The fuel that powers up our exploration of the red planet is the desire of making it our home one day. We have sent numerous spacecrafts to know more and more about Mars. One such spacecraft is the Curiosity rover sent by NASA to investigate the Martian surface and any life supporting factors on it. The six year old rover has something interesting to tell us and yes, it is a definite thriller of news\u2026<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528479765129","data":"5b1ac54dec13a"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528479769509","data":"
After we came to know about the frozen water in Mars and signs proving that Mars once had a steady flow of water, Gale Crater looked very promising for us in terms of solving the questions about life on Mars or could it support one. The Curiosity rover has proved to be instrumental in finding those clues and basically gave more and more info about Mars like never before. It was on 7th of June, 2018 a huge breakthrough was announced to the whole world by NASA. It was yet again Curiosity which found life sustaining organic components and more importantly Methane within 5cm of Martian Surface. It was also discovered that the content of Methane was seasonally varying and peaked during summer. This important discovery is now proving that we on right track on potentially finding life on Mars. This was an exciting news for the scientists and people all over the world. It proves that we could soon unlock many possibilities when it comes to life on Mars. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1528479774777","data":"5b1ac5583248b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1528479777951","data":"
The Curiosity rover is expected to go down at any moment after its mission time was extended to indefinite, the breakthrough that Curiosity gave us is vital for the future exploration of the Red planet and would provide life to many future missions to explore Mars more than ever before. <\/p>"}]
Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada of California. It experienced extremely rare phenomena between February- Match 2018, where the entire waterfall turned into a cascading rainbow. It happened when the first rays of the sun fell on the water and bounced back with the same effect as that of a prism. <\/p>
Photographer Greg Harlow who has witnessed the whole scene said, \u201cI was at Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park with my buddy Julian. We brought our coffee maker to the location, and hung out for an hour or so when we saw colours starting to appear on Yosemite Falls. First it was red, and then it worked its way across the spectrum to a full rainbow. We were two of only about ten people to witness this. The spot was empty because it was so windy that morning. We lost it when we saw what was happening. It was beautiful. He had just enough time to pull his camera equipment from his bag and was one of few people to witness the beautiful sight.\u201d <\/p>
The magical sight happened ones in a lifetime and its a bliss to the eyes, its is said that it happened due to natural phenomenon. According to Greg he says, it a was the jaw dropping experience of his life\n\n<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1539342609094","data":"CxXrcJSylUQ"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1539342609095","data":"5b158899ca3a0"}]
Some movies are very entertaining and we just enjoy them till the end but after we finish watching, they doesn't stay with us any more and is more of a temporary joy. Not all movies are the same, there are some that stick with us even after we finish watching them, one such movie is The Greatest Showman.<\/b> <\/p>
The movie is based on the true story of a famous personality in show business, P.T.Barnum. The movie greatly depicted his life and what all it took for him to gain huge success with the show despite failures of many forms. The actors Hugh Jackman(Barnum), Zac Efron(Phillip), Zendaya(Anne Wheeler), Michelle Williams(Charity Barnum) and Rebecca Ferguson(Jenny Lind) have took the movie to a whole new level with their phenomenal acting. The musicals from John Debney and Joseph Trapanese for the movie are just out of this world and are certainly the ones that could literally get you goosebumps. The movie director Michael Gracey has done a visual magic on the viewers. On a whole the movie is a definite marvel, the stunts, the way the characters are portrayed and the costume designs are outstanding. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527958365070","data":"5b12cb696786d"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1527957801233","data":"5b12c9bd58a16"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1527958026562","data":"
