Kepler-452b,The Most Similar Planet To Earth Till Now

Recently Scientists of NASA have discovered a most earth like planet yet named as "Kepler-452b" using Kepler(spacecraft).

Kepler 
Kepler is a spacecraft which is used to survey in the space mostly in our region of Milky way Galaxy and try to discover the planets which has the same properties like earth. It is usually called the space observatory system launched by NASA .It is like a photo-sensor operates at 1100 watts, which sense the brightness of the observing star and transmit its data to earth so that the data can be process.

Kepler-452b
As explained Kepler is a space craft used to discover the planets by observing the star's light. If the light fluctuate it notice that any planet is revolving around it and  passing from its front that's why the light was dim/fluctuating.

In July 2015 the discovery of "Kepler-452b" was announced according to the report by the Research Scientists , Kepler-452b is 1400 light years far from the earth and its diameter is 1.6 times larger and it is 5 times heaver than earth , so the gravitational force is double as compare to earth.

As the Kepler space craft operated from 2009 to 2013 so its discoveries were categorized in three type of stars. M-stars , K-stars , G-stars , M-stars are the one which have 4 orbits around them which is very less as compare to sun , and also there brightness is less than our sun. Other is the K-stars which have 7 orbits which was a little near to sun but the G-stars are the one have same orbits like sun and for the first time a planet is discovered around it which is "Kepler-452b".

Vehicle Parking Management System in C++

this project is developed by Awais Azam Features Graphically display the parking locations(symbolically) Keep record of the arrival and departure of the vehicles with date-time specified  Resume the data from the storage  Can check history (arrival + departure) Automatically choose the parking location Alarm if any vehicle violate the parking order Description  This project is coded in C++ using codeblocks  compiler, it has almost 500 lines of code. easy for the beginners in the C++ language , almost each line is commented and explaining its purpose. As per the working of this app , for the first run it create some text files to keep the record of the vehicles ,  First screen show the menu from which user has to select an option as per his/her need   As the screen shows , above is the screen shot of the application, it is not a small project as it looks like it almost cover all the major topics of C++ (not OOP) you can als...

Explaination Of Electron Gun

Thomson discovered the electron using this concept in 1897 after conducting experiments with cathode rays and studying their uses. Electron guns are a very versatile electrical component. They are essential to a number of devices, from 3D printers and welders to the large synchrotron at the Diamond Light Source in the UK and the electric systems of Kimball Physics in the US So how they work It’s all down to kinetic energy and electrical currents. When installed in an electrical device’s vacuum tube, the gun turns electrons and ions into usable beams of energy by releasing them from their  metal source (cathode). This process is known as thermionic emission. Inside the gun there is a small filament that heats the cathode, which makes it release a stream of electrons. The electrons accelerate rapidly and the resulting beam is pulled toward the neighbouring anode, which is positively charged. There are small holes in the anode which allow some electrons to pass through, so a...

Sonic Weapons

To disperse crowds and prevent rioting, various forms of non-lethal weapons (NLW) are used. Among these, interestingly, is sound. Known as an acoustic or sonic weapon, infrasound (superlow frequency) and ultrasound (super-high frequency) greatly affect human ears. They can disorientate a target and have psychological effects as well as physical effects of nausea and damage to blood vessels. Explanation Ultrasound can be increased to 120 decibels (the same volume as a jumbo jet taking off), which is considered the human pain threshold. In contrast, infrasound feels like a damaging vibration or pressure wave, as it’s at a frequency too low for humans to hear. When exposed to high levels of sound, the influx of energy has a painful effect on the body. As well as huge decibels of volume, the variations in frequency can also cause damage. For instance, an infrasound of seven or eight Hertz can rupture blood vessels. Certain types of sound within the frequencies we are able to he...
