NASA's spacex CRS-23 to the ISS

A two-stage Falcon 9 rocket launched from launch complex 39A at NASA's KSE (Kennedy space center) at 3:14 a.m. EDT (9714 GMT),

23rd cargo resupply mission (CRS) to the orbiting lab for NASA. The dragon is blasted off with more than 4,800 pounds (2,200 kilograms) of supplies, scientific experiments and hardware, including a new robotic arm that will be tested inside the space station Bishop Airlock.

After liftoff:-

After liftoff, the falcon 9's first stage returned to Earth less than eight minutes.

Thant is the 90th successful landing of an orbital Class rocket.

The robotic Dragon will arrive at the station on Monday morning (Aug,30).

Great women.

The first woman who won the Nobel prize. And the first person who won the Nobel prize twice. "Marie Curie".

Stephen Hawking's theory about black holes may have been proven right.

Turns out, black holes exert pressure on all space surrounding them. Hawking had predicted that black holes emit radiation in 1974, implying that the objects have temperature. In addition, Hawking claimed that black holes slowly shrink over time if no accumulation of gases (accretion) takes place. Scientists from the University of Sussex - Professor Xavier Calmet and Folkert Kuipers published their findings in Physical Review D. The researchers were probing the event horizon (a black hole's boundary) of a black hole when they made the startling discovery. They were looking an entropy at the event horizon of the black hole, which is essentially the chaos embedded into any physical object and its progression from calm to mayhem. While reading the calculations, the scientists kept running into an additional figure which they couldn't explain. It took them months to figure out that it was actually caused by pressure around the black hole. This pres...
