For University of Delhi Students... Topic- Understanding Our Universe Sub- Information Technology

1. Information Technology
UNDERSTANDING OUR
UNIVERSE
Sub-Group-01(A6)

2. The study or use of systems
(especially computers and
telecommunications) for
storing, retrieving, and sending
information. It refers to
anything related to computing
technology, such as
networking, hardware, software
, the Internet, or the people that
work with these technologies.

3. We have all seen pictures
of the lovely globe of Earth
as seen from space. We
have also seen so many
picture of our Universe
including how our Solar
System works, rotation of
Earth as well as other
planets of Solar System.
Whatever we know about
the mysterious Universe is
only because of advanced
technology.

ROLE OF IT IN UNDERSTANDING UNIVERSE

4. With the invention of
Telescope we all came to
know about different
question about our Universe
like Is Earth is the center of
Universe, how far are the
stars, are there other planets
outside the Solar System,...
For the first time we came to
know that Earth rotate
around the Sun only by the
help of Telescope.

5. The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet
Union in 1957. Since then, thousands of satellites have been launched into orbit
around the Earth.Satellites are used for a large number of purposes. Common
types include military and civilian Earth observation satellites, communications
satellites, navigation satellites, weather satellites, and research satellites.

6. ROCKETS
A Rocket is a
missile, spacecraft, aircraft
or other vehicle that obtains
thrust from a rocket engine.
Rockets are used as
Satellites lunch vehicle.
It is also used as aircraft.
Astronauts go to space (eg.
on Moon, Mars) by aircraft
which is a Rocket.

7. SUPERCOMPUTERS
A SuperComputer is a computer at the
frontline of contemporary processing
capacity – particularly speed of
calculation which can happen at
speeds of nanoseconds.
These type of computers are placed in
Space Research Stations(ISRO,NASA)
to calculate various data sent by
satellites in fraction of seconds

8. CONCLUSION
After completing our project we would
conclude that technology helps us in so
many ways to understand our universe.
We can say that what we all know about
the Universe is because of technology.
