The full meaning of SMS is Short Message service. SMS is the most widely used data application in the world and it is an communication protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices. 

The founder of SMS technology was Matti Makkonen, a Finnish engineer in the field of mobile communications.The first SMS message was sent over the Vodafone GSM network in the United Kingdom on 3 December 1992, from Neil Papworth of Sema Group (now Mavenir Systems) using a personal computer to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone using an Orbitel 901 handset. The text of the message was "Merry Christmas."

Biggest Satellites of our Solar System

1. Ganymede

Ganymede is a satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the Solar System. It is larger than Mercury and Pluto, If Ganymede orbited the sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would easily be classified as a planet. Ganymede's discovery is credited to Galileo Galilei, who was the first to observe it on January 7, 1610.
Earth, Moon (on the top), Ganymede

 Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope found evidence of thin oxygen atmosphere on Ganymede in 1996. The atmosphere is far too thin to support life as we know it. Ganymede is composed of approximately equal amounts of silicate rock and water ice. Ganymede orbits Jupiter at a distance of 1,070,400 km, third among the Galilean satellites and completes a revolution every seven days and three hours.




2.Titan

Titan is a satellite of Saturn and the second largest moon in our solar system. It is the only natural satellite known to have a dense atmosphere. Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. Titan was discovered on March 25, 1655, by the Dutch astronomer/physicist Christiaan Huygens. Titan orbits Saturn once every 15 days and 22 hours.

Earth, Moon (on the top), Titan


Titan has a lot of conditions that make it similar to Earth. It is the only moon in the solar system with clouds and a dense, planet-like atmosphere. The atmosphere of Titan is largely composed of nitrogen; minor components lead to the formation of methane and ethane clouds and nitrogen-rich organic smog. The climate—including wind and rain—creates surface features similar to those of Earth, such as dunes, rivers, lakes and seas (probably of liquid methane and ethane), and deltas, and is dominated by seasonal weather patterns as on Earth. It is surrounded by an orange haze that kept its surface a mystery for Earth´s scientists.
Titan is called 'Space Oasis' because of its Natural diversities and change of seasons.

3. Callisto

Callisto is a satellite of Jupiter and  third-largest moon in the Solar System.  It was discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei. Callisto has about 99% the diameter of the planet Mercury but only about a third of its mass. Callisto's surface is the darkest of the Galileans, but it is twice as bright as our own Moon.
Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in the solar system. It is thought to be a long dead world, with hardly any geologic activity on its surface. Callisto is very different from other rocky moons in the Solar System. There are no mountains on Callisto. With a surface age of about 4 billion years, Callisto has the oldest landscape in the solar system.


4. Lo

Lo is a satellite of Jupiter and  forth-largest moon in the Solar System. Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. It contains above 400 active volcanoes. Lo is a bit larger than the Earth's moon. Its surface is also dotted with more than 100 mountains and some of these peaks are taller than Earth's Mount Everest. 
It was discovered on 8 January 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The discovery of the four Galilean satellites eventually led to the understanding that planets in our solar system orbit the sun, instead of our solar system revolving around Earth. Galilean satellite means the four moons of Jupiter which was also discovered by Galileo Galilei. 



5. Moon

Moon is the only natural satellite of  Earth and nearest large celestial body from Earth. It is the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System. The Moon is the second densest satellite after Lo. From Earth it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun, although its surface is actually very dark.
The Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth on which humans have set foot. In past civilizations the Moon was regarded as a deity.

The cheapest computer of the world

The cheapest computer tablet in the world is named 'Aakash'. This computer tablet is only made for the students of India. It will cost only 1130 rupees or 20 U.S dollars for any student in India. 

   
The Aakash is made by UK-based company Datawind. Technology writer Prasanto K Roy tests the upgraded version of the world's cheapest tablet computer Aakash 2 and discovers a significantly improved product. Unlike the much-panned first version version launched a year ago, the new Aakash - which means sky - is very usable. It's slim, smart and light, and performs well.


Aakash 2 runs Ice Cream Sandwich, Google's Android 4.0 operating system. Also new is access to the search firm's Play Store, which lets users choose from thousands of apps. This compact tablet has a 7in (17.8cm) display and, at 292 grams (0.6lb), is lighter than the iPad Mini and Nexus 7. The Aakash 2 now uses a capacitive multi-touch display, and a 1 GHz Cortex A8 processor that's three times faster, making touch and apps more responsive. Memory and storage have been doubled, to 512 MB RAM and 4 GB flash, respectively.

Transit of Venus Over the Sun

A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun.

This cosmic event took place for the last time in this century on 6th June 2012. This transit  began at 22:09 UTC(Coordinated Universal Time) on 5 June 2012, and finished at 04:49 UTC on 6 June. Depending on the position of the observer, the exact times varied by up to ±7 minutes.

After the invention of telescope, mankind had observed the rare celestial phenomena only for seven times. Transits of Venus occurs in pairs, eight years apart, which are themselves separated by more than a century.

The last transit of Venus was on 5 and 6 June 2012, and was the last Venus transit of the 21st century; the prior transit took place on 8 June 2004. The previous pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882. The next transits of Venus will be 10–11 December 2117, and in December 2125.

The biggest solar flare in this decade

A solar flare is a sudden brightening observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as a large energy release. Solar flares were first observed on the Sun by Richard Christopher Carrington and independently by Richard Hodgson in 1859. X-rays and UV radiation emitted by solar flares can affect Earth's ionosphere and disrupt long-range radio communications.

On 24th January 2012 a severe strongest solar flare radioactive wave combed in the earth atmosphere. NASA declares that it is biggest solar flare after 2003's October. The radioactivity of solar flare may not harmful for human but it disrupt satellite and long-range radio communications. This solar flare light was even visible from South Scotland and North England because of its unusual intensity.

Earth's magnetic field protect from solar flare.

The most smallest car in the world

World's most smallest car name is Peel P50 Car. It is a three-wheeled micro-car originally manufactured from 1962 to 1965 by the  Peel Engineering Company . It currently holds the record for the smallest automobile to go into production. It has no reverse gear.



Designed as a city car, it was advertised as capable of seating "one adult and a shopping bag." The vehicle's only door was on its left side, and equipment included a single windscreen wiper and only one headlight.

The P50 used a 49 cc (3.0 cu in) DKW engine which gave it a top speed of approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), and was equipped with a three-speed manual transmission that had no reverse gear.

The Peel P50 was and is still road-legal in the UK. The Peel P50 is now also street-legal in the United States.



In 2010, production of a replica version was started by a newly formed company, called Peel Engineering Ltd based in England (not to be confused with the original Peel Engineering Company from the Isle of Man). Externally this car was very similar to the original but with many major mechanical differences in the suspension, steering and drivetrain. Driven by an electric motor and with a top speed of 16 km/h (10 mph), this version was produced as a display vehicle and was not road legal. In 2011 production commenced on a new road legal petrol version.
