NASA announces to launch mission on Titan through Dragonfly .

Hey friends , Welcome to Science Feed .


NASA will launch a rotorcraft-lander named  Dragonfly on Saturn's Natural Satellite ,Titan.

Dragonfly will become first multi rotor vehicle that will fly to multiple place on Titan .

With help of Dragonfly , NASA will investigate the progression of prebiotic chemistry and check habitability of Titan .This mission will be launched in 2026 and completed in 2034 .



“Titan is unlike any other place in the solar system, and Dragonfly is like no other mission. It’s remarkable to think of this rotorcraft flying miles and miles across the organic sand dunes of Saturn’s largest moon, exploring the processes that shape this extraordinary environment. Dragonfly will visit a world filled with a wide variety of organic compounds, which are the building blocks of life and could teach us about the origin of life itself,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for Science at the agency’s Headquarters in Washington.

Titan can provide information about how life forms exist on our planet because Titan is similar to our early Earth . Similar to Earth , Titan has nitrogen-based atmosphere .It has rains of methane and other organic materials.
Since Titan's atmosphere is four times denser than Earth.
So, Dragonfly will take this advantage to fly across Titan .

“With the Dragonfly mission, NASA will once again do what no one else can do .Visiting this mysterious ocean world could revolutionize what we know about life in the universe. This cutting-edge mission would have been unthinkable even just a few years ago, but we’re now ready for Dragonfly’s amazing flight,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

Thanks for reading .

Strange Matter - Is it a problem ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed. Have you ever heard about strange matter ?? . . . . . If no, then this line is for you ;) "Strange Matter is a hypothetical form of quark matter which is more stable than nuclear matter." There is a reason for saying it strange. It is predicted that strange matter is found in the core of the neutron star. Neutron stars are one of the densest bodies in the universe. When a star, having 8 times the mass of its initial mass, gets exhausted all its nuclear fuel, then the star starts collapsing in its own core and temperature exceeds. As temperature rises, electrons and protons start forming neutrons by the electron capture process. Slowly, the repulsion force and neutron pressure stop the contraction of the core but start moving outwards leading to the formation of a supernova. Inside supernova, if the left core has 3 times less than the mass of the initial star, it becomes a neutron star. Otherwise, it becomes a black hole. Now, ins...

What is Fermi Paradox? - Science Feed

Have you ever thought why we have not found any advanced intelligent organism yet? Or is there any other type of life form outside our planet Earth? These are the basic questions that come into mind when we talk about Fermi Paradox. Fermi Paradox Fermi paradox is the lack of compatibility or contradiction between the high chances of existence of extraterrestrial civilization in the universe and lack of evidence to find them or communicate with them. This was termed after the name of physicist Enrico Fermi. It casually came in head of Fermi during talk with his colleagues and he asked, "Where is everybody?". Early and Related Theories Before Fermi Enrico, the founding father of modern rocket science  Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, a  Russian scientist, proposed Zoo hypothesis. In Zoo hypothesis, it is speculated that the extraterrestrial civilization knows about our existence but instead of contacting us, they opt to do observation on us similar to animals in zoo.  Th...

Will You Inject Yourself with an Ancient Bacteria for Longer Life ? - Science Feed

Hii, This is Science Feed. In 2009, 3.5 million years old bacteria was found in the permafrost region on Mammoth Mountain in Siberia's Yakutsk Region. The bacteria was named 'Bacillus F' which was found by the Russian Scientist named Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University. After numbers of experiments, it was found that those mice which were injected with these bacterias have far better strength and immune system than normal mice. Each time the experiment was done, the results were the same. Curiously, One day Dr. Brouchkov injected himself with these 3.5 million old bacteria without knowing what would happen to his body. The problem was that scientists didn't know how the bacteria increase life span in mice. And about humans, not even a penny !!! He became the first guinea pig for the experiment In a statement, Dr. Brouchkov said that since the day he injected himself with, he felt more energetic and healthier. He eve...
