I just love those moments when it just finished raining, and the sun is laying perfectly over everything.
Throughout the history of cosmology, astrophysics, and astronomy, scientists have considered the existence of planets placed outside our solar system. For many years they tried to find evidence of their presence. But it was not until the last decade of the 20th century that they were able to confirm its existence. Our knowledge about the universe has been progressing since that.
The exoplanets (also known as extrasolar planets) are bodies that orbit around their star. And therefore, they are not considered part of our solar system. Thanks to technological advances, the astronomers Alex Wolszczan and Dale Frail made an incredible finding. In 1992, they announced the discovery of two planets orbiting in what is now known as PSR B1251+12.
Then, in 1995 the first exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star was identified by the astronomers Didier Queloz and his research advisor Michel Mayor. Their discovery earned them the 2019 Physics Novel Prize. The knowledge and findings of exoplanets have been increasing since that moment.
Currently, there are about 4,000 known exoplanets "confirmed" and more than a thousand to be confirmed. Additionally, the astronomers explain that for every star, there can be a planet; this opens the possibility of finding more.
The constant scientific development has contributed to finding different methods and techniques to identify the planets that are beyond the solar system. pluttenow.com/the-exoplanets-beyond-the-solar-system/
Some people may moan about the present cold spell, however there is always a silver lining and some of the sky scenes have been awesome recently and many a time have I wanted to pull over and take a shot during work; this is exactly what I did on this day. This is in a parking area on the A46 en route to Newark.
The Ardabil carpet is one of the largest and finest Islamic carpets in existence. It is also of great historical importance. It was commissioned as one of a pair by the ruler of Iran, Shah Tahmasp, for the shrine of his ancestor, Shaykh Safi al-Din, in the town of Ardabil in north-west Iran. In a small panel at one end, the date of completion is given as the year 946 in the Muslim calendar, equivalent to 1539-40. The text includes the name of the man in charge of its production, Maqsud Kashani. The carpet is remarkable for the beauty of its design and execution. It has a white silk warp and weft and the pile is knotted in wool in ten colours. The single huge composition that covers most of its surface is clearly defined against the dark-blue ground, and the details of the ornament - the complex blossoms and delicate tendrils - are rendered with great precision. This was due above all to the density of the knotting - there are an average of 5300 knots in every 10 square centimetres (340 knots per square inch).
To preserve its colours, the Ardabil carpet in the centre of the gallery is lit for ten minutes on the hour and half-hour.
A threat to the continued existence of Bermuda's junipers arose in the mid-1940s when the species was attacked by two species of scale insects, Lepidosaphes newsteadi and Carulaspis minima, which were unintentionally introduced from the United States' mainland. By 1978, these predators had killed 99% of Bermuda's junipers, some 8 million trees. However, the remaining 1% of the trees proved somewhat resistant to the scale insects, and efforts by Bermuda's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Parks to plant young junipers from this resistant strain throughout Bermuda have saved the trees from extinction.

The existence of extra-terrestrial life, as unfathomably obvious as it may seem, has been the subject of countless books, comics and movies until now, all of which have sketched them to be disfigured, twisted and sometimes super human (or super alien, whatever). There is however, solid proof of...
