The Inner Planets
The document summarizes key facts about the four inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. It provides details on each planet's diameter, mass, density, atmosphere, distance from the sun, orbital path, moons, surface features, and core composition. Notably, it describes Mercury as the closest planet to the sun with no moons and a heavily cratered surface. Venus is similar in size to Earth but has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and retrograde rotation. Earth is unique in its liquid water and life. Mars has the largest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons and two small moons.
Asteroids Powerpoint
Asteroids are rocky and metallic objects that orbit the sun but are too small to be considered planets. They have diverse compositions and shapes, ranging from nearly spherical to very irregular. They are classified based on their composition as determined from spectral analysis and similarities to known meteorites. Asteroids can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, as well as in near-Earth orbits such as the Amor, Apollo, Aten, and Trojan groups.
Evolution of universe - Geochemistry & Thermodynamics
The document summarizes the evolution of the universe. It discusses the origin and formation of the universe according to the Big Bang theory. The universe began as a very hot and dense state around 13.8 billion years ago, which then expanded and cooled to form stars, galaxies, and other celestial objects. The document also describes the components that make up the universe such as galaxies, stars, and black holes. It discusses the chemical composition and forces that govern the motion of objects in the universe.
Origin of the universe
The universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old and contains countless galaxies, many with supermassive black holes at their centers. The Milky Way galaxy is the one that contains our solar system. According to the leading Big Bang theory, the universe began as an extremely hot and dense singularity which expanded rapidly approximately 13 billion years ago, resulting in the formation of hydrogen and helium from the cooling nuclear matter. Evidence for the expansion of the universe and the Big Bang model includes the redshift of distant galaxies and the discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation.
Pluto and kuiper belt
The Kuiper Belt is a disc-shaped region beyond Neptune that extends from 30 to 55 astronomical units from the Sun. It is populated with hundreds of thousands of icy objects larger than 100 km, including the dwarf planet Pluto. The discovery of the Kuiper Belt Object Eris in 1992, which is similar in size to Pluto, led astronomers to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet along with Eris. In 2015, NASA's New Horizons spacecraft became the first mission to explore Pluto up close, finding it to be a cold, icy world.
ORIGIN OF EARTH AND IT’S PLACE IN UNIVERSE
The document discusses the origin and evolution of the universe, Earth, and life. It describes evidence that supports the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe approximately 13.8 billion years ago. It explains that galaxies, stars, and planets formed over time through evolutionary processes. The document also discusses different views on the origin and age of the universe, from both religious and scientific perspectives, including the idea of theistic evolution. It provides examples of the immense distances in the universe and compares the age of the Earth and the development of life to timescales in a hypothetical "cosmic calendar" representing the universe's age in one year.

It begins by describing the nebular hypothesis proposed by Kant and Laplace, which suggests that the solar system formed from a cloud of gas and dust that collapsed under gravity. It then discusses the planetesimal and tidal theories which built upon this idea to explain how smaller planetesimals formed and were ejected from the sun. The protoplanet theory modified this view to incorporate modern knowledge about independent formation of matter in protoplanets within the rotating nebula.
The Earth Spheres.ppt
The Earth is made up of four major interconnected systems: the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. The atmosphere is made primarily of nitrogen and oxygen and surrounds the planet. The biosphere includes all living things and organic matter. The hydrosphere contains all of Earth's water, including oceans, lakes, rivers, ice caps, and water vapor. The geosphere is the solid part of Earth, including its interior layers and crust composed mainly of oxygen, silicon, and magnesium. Earth system science studies how changes in one system can impact the others through their constant interactions.
Raymond Fowler - The Andreasson Affair, Phase Two
This document provides a summary of strange phenomena experienced by Betty Andreasson and her new husband Bob Luca after their marriage in 1978. The summary describes how unexplained events like doorbells ringing by themselves and lights turning on and off started to occur in their new home. The events escalated to include voices, rapping sounds, and a bizarre incident where Bob saw his own form rush into the bathroom where Betty was. The document discusses Raymond Fowler's investigation of Betty Andreasson's earlier reported UFO abduction experience and how he was initially skeptical but became more open-minded after witnessing Betty and Bob recount and relive their ongoing strange occurrences.
Formation of the Solar System
The document provides information on the formation of the solar system. It describes the two categories of planets - terrestrial planets which are closest to the sun and include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and jovian planets which are gas giants including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It then provides details on each of the planets, their physical characteristics such as size, composition and orbital properties. It also discusses other components of the solar system including asteroids, meteorites, comets, and the sun and moon.
History and formation of the Earth (Presentation #2 Bilogy L2 project)
The Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago from a solar nebula. Its early atmosphere was toxic and volcanic activity and asteroid impacts were common. One large impact is believed to have formed the Moon. Over billions of years the planet cooled and developed tectonic plates and a stable crust allowing liquid water and the first life. The atmosphere gradually gained oxygen as photosynthetic life evolved. Multicellular life diversified in the Phanerozoic Eon starting over 500 million years ago, though many species died out in extinction events like the one that ended the Cretaceous Period.
The planet venus
Venus is Earth's closest planetary neighbor and similar in size, but has extreme environmental conditions. It has a toxic atmosphere of thick clouds and strong winds, with surface temperatures reaching over 900°F due to its slow rotation. While once thought an Earth-like planet, it is now known to have volcanoes and landscapes unlike our own, rotating backwards with days lasting four months.

Types of galaxies
There are an estimated 170 billion galaxies in the universe. Galaxies consist of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter that are gravitationally bound together. There are three main types of galaxies: spiral galaxies which have a bulge, disk, and halo structure; elliptical galaxies which are elongated spheres; and irregular galaxies which have no defined shape. Galaxies are further classified based on their structure.
Basics of the universe
Studying the origins of the Universe and exploring it helps us build our civilization. Exploring how our civilization came into existence has evolved our ability of thinking and understanding our surrounding and also the universe in a better way. Our curiosity to get the answer to every query in relation to the origin and existence of universe has helped us to discover and build better technology that we so ungratefully enjoy in all walks of life. Humans have managed to advance in every field of technology, medicines, energy and telecommunication.
Planet Mercury
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun and the least explored. It is very difficult to study from Earth due to its proximity to the Sun, which means it never gets more than 28 degrees from the Sun's glare. Mercury is the smallest planet and fastest planet in its orbit, taking 88 days to revolve around the Sun. The Mariner 10 spacecraft was the first to visit Mercury in 1974 and photographed nearly half of its surface, finding a landscape scarred by impacts and wrinkled with great ridges.
The Actual Motion of the Sun in light of the Quran and Science
The document discusses the Sun from historical, scientific, and Quranic perspectives. It provides background on how ancient cultures viewed the Sun and how planetary names derived from Roman and Greek mythology. Scientifically, it details the Sun's composition, structure, temperature, shape, size relative to other stars, life cycle, and orbit in the Milky Way galaxy. The document argues the Quran accurately described the Sun's motion as "running" in a "fixed course" and stars "floating" or "swimming", matching modern scientific understandings of the Sun's streaming motion in the galaxy and stars floating in cosmic rivers.
Milky way
The Milky Way galaxy contains our solar system. It appears as a dim, glowing band in the night sky where individual stars cannot be distinguished. The halo is a spherical structure surrounding the galaxy with very low star concentration and few gas clouds, containing many globular clusters which are ancient relics from galaxy formation. The Milky Way contains 100-400 billion stars and a disk of gas and dust between the stars. It has a bar-shaped core and spiral arm structure, and consists of a disk of gas, dust, and stars surrounding the core.
Basic astronomy
The document provides information about astronomy and the solar system. It discusses the definition of astronomy and describes the solar system including the eight planets, their satellites, asteroids, comets, and other objects within the sun's gravitational influence. It then focuses on specific planets like Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury. Details are given about their composition, orbits, moons, and other characteristics.
Earth: The Living Planet
This document discusses the key characteristics of Earth that support life, including its size, gravity, and atmosphere. It notes that Earth is unique in the solar system for having properties necessary to sustain living organisms. The document then asks students to identify ways to conserve Earth's environment and provides a template for students to create their own hypothetical planet by filling in data about its name, location, weather, organisms, inhabitants, and appearance.
Res525 origin of earth and earth atmosphere
• Earth, along with the other planets, is believed to have been born 4.5 billion years ago as a solidified cloud of dust and gases left over from the creation of the Sun.
• For perhaps 500 million years, the interior of Earth stayed solid and relatively cool, perhaps 2,000°F.
• The main ingredients were iron and silicates, with small amounts of other elements, some of them radioactive.
• As millions of years passed, energy released by radioactive decay—mostly of uranium, thorium, and potassium—gradually heated Earth, melting some of its constituents.
• The iron melted before the silicates, and, being heavier, sank toward the center.
• This forced up the silicates that it found there.
• After many years, the iron reached the center, almost 4,000 mi deep, and began to accumulate. No eyes were around at that time to view the turmoil that must have taken place on the face of Earth—gigantic heaves and bubblings on the surface, exploding volcanoes, and flowing lava covering everything in sight.
• Finally, the iron in the center accumulated as the core. Around it, a thin but fairly stable crust of solid rock formed as Earth cooled.
• Depressions in the crust were natural basins in which water, rising from the interior of the planet through volcanoes and fissures, collected to form the oceans. Slowly, Earth acquired its present appearance.
Cosmology And Astronomy
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large space-based observatory named after astronomer Edwin Hubble that has provided unprecedented views of the universe. Hubble orbits Earth every 96 minutes and has taken many famous images including pillars of creation in the Eagle Nebula and the Crab Nebula. Some of Hubble's images show planetary nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and more distant objects in the universe.

Locating stars ii
Ancient cultures observed patterns in the stars and associated them with myths and legends, forming constellations. The Greeks named 48 constellations that are still used today, including Orion and Ursa Major. Orion resembles a hunter figure, while Ursa Major includes the Big Dipper asterism. Astronomers now recognize 88 constellations, with stars belonging to constellations not necessarily being physically related. Distances to stars are measured in light years due to the vast distances light travels in a year. Parallax and comparing apparent and absolute magnitudes are methods astronomers use to determine distances to nearby and more distant stars.

mesentric teratoma .pdf
teratoma is a type of germ cell tumor — a tumor that starts in your reproductive cells like eggs and sperm. Most teratomas are benign (noncancerous), but sometimes they can become malignant (cancerous).
Germ cells are the only cells in your body that can turn into many other types of cells. So, when a tumor starts in your germ cells, it can turn into many different types of tissue. This means teratomas can contain fragments of any body part.
Spray Bandage -1.pdf
Spray bandages are liquid formulations sprayed onto a wound to create a protective layer, functioning similarly to traditional bandages. These sprays often contain a polymer film-forming substance that creates a flexible, transparent film once applied to the skin. They create a breathable, waterproof barrier that shields the wound from dirt, water, and bacteria, promoting a moist environment ideal for healing.
These spray bandages are convenient for covering wounds that are awkwardly shaped or located in areas where traditional bandages might be challenging to apply. They're also useful for minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions. However, they might not be suitable for larger or deeper wounds that require more substantial protection and medical attention.

The document discusses constipation, defining it as having infrequent bowel movements, difficulty during defecation, and a sensation of incomplete evacuation. It outlines the Rome III criteria for diagnosing chronic constipation and lists potential causes including low fiber diet, dehydration, lack of exercise, medication, and stress. Treatment options are also discussed, including bulk forming laxatives, stool softeners, stimulant laxatives, and osmotic laxatives.
Antibiotic resistance a global concern part ii
Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality.
The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics. Even if new medicines are developed, without behaviour change, antibiotic resistance will remain a major threat. Behaviour changes must also include actions to reduce the spread of infections through vaccination, hand washing, practising safer sex, and good food hygiene.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

The 10 biggest stars in the universe
- 1. Top 10 biggest stars in the known Universe Prepared by - Rohan Jagdale
- 3. ● Belonging to the constellation Monoceros, V838 Monocerotis is a red star that is 19,900 light-years away from the Earth. ● The star was first noticed after a massive eruption in 2002. The reason for the eruption is still a mystery, but astronomers still have their theories like the eruption was the result of the merger of planets and a binary star or stellar death processes. ● With the range of 380 to 1,970 solar radii, V838 Monocerotis is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars in the Universe.
- 4. Betelgeuse
- 5. ● Betelgeuse, which you can see from October to march, is a part of the Orion constellation. ● It is one of the most popular red supergiants that is around 640 lights years away from Earth. ● Its radius is roughly thousand times that of our Sun, ranging between 950 and 1200 solar radii. ● Astronomers believe that Betelgeuse can become a supernova at any given time. ● Apart from being one of the largest stars in the night sky, it is also the tenth brightest star as well as the second brightest star in Orion. It is also one of the biggest stars that is visible to a naked eye from the Earth.
- 7. ● KW Sagittarii or KW Sgr. is a red supergiant star with 0 Kelvin temperature. ● Located in the Milky Way, on the boundary of the constellation Sagittarius, it is still considered a part of the constellation. ● Lying 7800 light-years away from Earth, it is 1480 times the radius of the Sun. ● Unlike Betelgeuse, to watch the star, you need a telescope. ● It stretches out past the orbit of Jupiter if placed in the center of the solar system.
- 9. ● The next in the list is VY Canis Majoris, which was the biggest star in the galaxy just a few years ago. ● It is still one of the most massive and luminous red hyper-giant stars with a radius of 1420 (plus-minus 120) solar radii known to us. ● The Earth is 3900 light-years away from VY Canis Majoris. As the name suggests, it is also a part of the Canis Major constellation.
- 10. V354 Cephei VX Sagittarii
- 11. ● V354 Cephei and VX Sagittarii are two different stars, their exact solar radii of 1520 (estimated diameter) put them on the same spot, making them two of the largest stars in the Universe. ● V354 Cephei is a red hyper-giant star that is roughly 9000 light-years away and belongs to the Cepheus constellation. ● VX Sagittarii is also a red hyper-giant star but is closer to the earth with a distance of 1076 light-years between them.
- 12. HD 143183
- 13. ● After V354 Cephei and VX Sagittarii comes HD 143183. It is a red supergiant (or hypergiant) star, belonging to the constellation Norma. ● With a radius between 1,480 and 1,830 solar radii, it is definitely one of the largest stars in our galaxy. It lies just on the outskirts of the constellation and is 6523 light-years away from the planet.
- 14. Westerlund 1-26
- 15. The next biggest star in the Universe is the red hypergiant or supergiant Westerlund 1-26 located around 11,500 light-years away from the planet Earth. With its radius ranging from 1,530-2,550 solar radii, it can probably be the biggest star in the Universe if the latter end of the spectrum is proximate to reality.
- 16. RW Cephei
- 17. ● The third-largest star in the Universe belongs to the constellation Cepheus in the northern hemisphere sky. ● An orange hypergiant with the solar radii of 1535, RW Cephei is 11,400 lights years away from Earth’s surface. ● If you replace the Sun with this star in the solar system, it would stretch even beyond Jupiter’s orbit.
- 18. WOH G64
- 19. With solar radii of 1,540-1,730, WOH G64 is the second-largest star in the Universe, located in a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way – Large Magellanic Cloud.
- 20. ● It is a red supergiant star, 1,63,000 light-years away from the Earth. ● Astronomers believe that it was even larger in 2004 with roughly an estimate of 3000 solar radii. ● As a result of torus-shaped clouds of dust that obscures the light of the star, its brightness fluctuates over time.
- 21. UY Scuti
- 22. UY Scuti has been the largest star in the Universe
- 23. ● It is a hypergiant with a radius 1700 times more than the Sun. ● It was first detected it 1860 by German astronomers who names it BD -12 5055. ● It is about 9500 light-years away from the Earth and lies near the core of the Milky Way. ● To really grasp how big UY Scuti is, here is an example for you. If Sun is a ball with a diameter of 8 inches, UY Scuti would be a ball with a diameter of 7,92,00,00,000 inches or 20,1168 kilometers.
- 25. Thank you for Watching
