Often associated with Hinduism, yoga actually is older. It is the oldest physical discipline in existence. The exact origins of yoga are unknown, but it is thought to be at least five thousand years old. The earliest evidence of yoga practice can be traced back to about 3000 B.C. The original purpose of the postures and breathing exercises was to bring stability and relaxation so practitioners could prepare for the rigors of meditation, sitting still and alert for long periods of time.   The word yoga has its roots in the Sanskrit language and means to merge join or unite. Yoga is a form of exercise based on the belief that the body and breath are intimately connected with the mind. By controlling the breath and holding the body in steady poses, or asana, yoga creates harmony. Yoga is a means of balancing and harmonizing the body, mind and emotions and is a tool that allows us to withdraw from the chaos of the world and find a quiet space within. To achieve this, yoga uses mov...

11 Biggest Facts About Comets

 What Are Comets (comet facts) What we know about comets is that comets are small solar system bodies and they are usually made up of dust, ice and rock particles. These things are key to its nucleus. Observing comets has been a very special place in astronomy. Therefore, in astronomy, comets are divided into several parts: Short Period Comets and Long Period Comets. The orbits of almost all comets are highly eccentric, rising towards the sun and getting hot due to solar radiation and solar winds, from which we can see gas tails. What we know as comet tails, but this process is called outgassing. By the way, it has two tails, a gas tail and a dust tail. Comet tails can sometimes be as long as an astronomical unit.  Short Period Comets (interesting comet facts) Now let's talk about the features of the Short Period Comet, which originally came from the Kuiper Belt or also from the Scattered Disc. Also called periodic comets, their orbital period can be 200 years or less. At th...

  1. Pinwheel Galaxy Image source-google | Image by- Singh.kd81 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Pinwheel_Galaxy_-_M101.jpg Even the name of this galaxy makes it very special. It seems to be one of the most beautiful structures in the universe. It also knows as a name of Messier 101 or M 101. It is a face-on spiral galaxy that is 21 million light years away from us. Pinwheel Galaxy was first discovered in 1781 by Pierre Méchain. Such a structure makes it very special and different from other galaxies. Its properties are very similar to the Andromeda Galaxy.

8 Most Strange & Dangerous Exoplanets

NASA's Kepler space mission keeps a close eye on thousands of stars at all times, as transit methods are used to search for planets. It has searched many planets so far, its main task is to find Earth-like planets, but in search of this many very strange exoplanets have been discovered. Many of these are also very dangerous exoplanets whose environment can be said to be like hell. In addition, there are some exoplanets that were never expected to be discovered. 1. Kepler -37 b — strange exoplanet Now let's talk about an exoplanet that is only about the size of Earth's moon. It is named Kepler -37 b. The planet was discovered by astronomers in February 2013. The planet is the smallest exoplanet ever discovered to orbit a main sequence star.  Its main star is G-type main sequence star like sun. It is called a Sub-earth by scientists. It has a distance of 15 million kilometers from its star,  which makes it seem unlikely that it will have an atmosphere. At the same time t...

  1. Kepler - 90 Kepler-90 is a G-type main sequence star just like our Sun. This star is named 2 MASS JI857 4403 + 4918185. This name is too long for this star. G-type stars are also called yellow dwarf stars. Such stars process nuclear fusion by converting hydrogen into helium gas which produces energy. The Kepler-90 was discovered on December 14, 2017. Interestingly, it was discovered by NASA and Google. The data was analysed with the help of Google's machine learning method. It is also called Artificial Intelligence. The most important thing about the Kepler-90 star is that it has been confirmed to have 8 planets just like our solar system.  This star exist in the constellation Draco at a distance of 2,840 light years from us. The number of star and planets in this star system corresponds exactly to our solar system, with the possibility that many of its planets may be in the habitable zone. The surface temperature of Kepler-90 is assumed to be 5,700 Kelvin. The surface ...
