Largest moon of our solar system.....

  It was discovered by Galileo a long 400 years ago...It is the largest moon of our solar system..Its name is GANYMEDE, moon of Jupiter...
         It is the news about that moon..The first GEOLOGICAL map of Ganymede has been produced by a team of scientists. NASA's Voyager and Galileo missions have helped a lot to do this job. Since it's discovery; it was the focus of repeated observation. These studies depicts a complex icy world whose surface is characterized by the striking contrast between its two major terrain types : the dark, very old, highly cratered regions: and the lighter , somewhat younger regions marked with an extensive array of grooves and ridges.

Saturn's hexagonal jet storm

Do you know that Saturn's storm can lasts for years, decade even for centuries..It's so surprising. But in this world there are many things like this..   Recently, on 4th February NASA has released a amazing photograph of a hexagon shaped storm atop Saturn's north pole. It was taken by the unmanned Cassini-Huygens spacecraft. The storm is so big that txo Earth can fit within it's 30,000km length.      "The hexagon is just a current of air. A hurricane on Earth typically lasts a week, but this has been here for decades—and who knows—maybe centuries" said Andrew Ingersoll, a Cassini imaging team member from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.
