NASA’s Artemis program is an effort to place astronauts on the lunar surface and develop an ongoing presence there. The program’s name is derived from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister to Apollo, whose namesake program first brought crews to our natural satellite 50 years ago. 

The Artemis program is a renaming of several earlier activities NASA was already undertaking to return humans to the moon. These were mandated by President Trump’s Space Policy Directive 1, which tasked the agency with focusing on missions to the moon. Earlier this year, vice president Mike Pence set an ambitious deadline to land humans at the lunar south pole by 2024. 

How much will Artemis cost? 

How many of these impressive plans will actually see fruition is difficult to tell at this point. Cost estimates are still being refined and the overall price tag of Artemis remains unknown. The Apollo program’s budget ended up being a total of $23.6 billion in 1973 dollars, according to NASA, the equivalent of more than $136 billion today. That means each Apollo moon landing cost around $22.6 billion in 2019 dollars. President Trump has recently sought an addition $1.6 billion for the Artemis program, on top of the $21 billion already allocated to NASA, but has yet to get the money approved by Congress.

Hubble Space Telescope-Few Pics

The Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope but it is one of the largest and most versatile, well known both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA’s Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Tuesday, February 18, 2020: The spiral galaxy NGC 2008 flaunts its shimmering galactic tentacles in this new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. Originally discovered in 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel, the galaxy resides about 425 million light-years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Pictor, the painter. NGC 2008 is classified as a type Sc galaxy, which means that it is a spiral with “a relatively small central bulge and more open spiral arms,” NASA said in a statement. “Spiral galaxies with larger central bulges tend to have more tightly wrapped arms, and are classified as Sa galaxies, while those in between are classified as type Sb.” — Hanneke Weitering
riday, February 21, 2020: The Sombrero Galaxy may have a smooth “brim,” suggesting that its past was free of any galactic collisions, but new data from the Hubble Space Telescope has shown that this seemingly unscathed galaxy is hiding a violent past. According to NASA, the galaxy’s faint outer halo provides some forensic clues that suggest the galaxy underwent multiple collisions with other galaxies billions of years ago.

Wednesday, February 12, 2020: The planetary nebula NGC 2392, also known as the “Eskimo Nebula,” is the colorful remnant of a star that died about 4,200 light-years from Earth, leaving behind a brilliant orb of intricate layers and patterns. This star didn’t die in a supernova explosion, but rather burned up all of its fuel, causing it to cool, expand and shed its outer layers. This image combines data collected via NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope in 2013, and citizen scientist Kevin Gill recently reprocessed the image to bring out the nebula’s detailed structure. — Hanneke Weitering

Lucky Bamboo Plant: Here’s why keeping this plant at home brings health and prosperity

The lucky bamboo plant is a common household plant and a popular plant in Feng Shui.

It is considered to bring luck and prosperity in our life. The lucky bamboo plant is a type of tropical water lily named Dracaena Sanderiana.
This plant is quite easy to take care of and grows mostly in indirect sunlight. It’s an indoor plant that brings positive energy in home and office if placed in the right corner of the room.

The lucky bamboo plant, when tied with a red ribbon, represents the element of fire. It is also known to create a balance in life. This plant represents the elements of earth, water, metal, fire and wood. Keep it in the east direction for attracting good health; in south-east direction for wealth. The plant can survive for almost ten years if taken care of properly.

History of the lucky bamboo plant

The history of the lucky bamboo plant is dated back to almost 4000 years ago in Chinese culture. In Asian culture, the plant is used as the symbol of good fortune which can be a perfect gift during New Year celebration and any religious festival.

‘Hanging Cable’ Challenge

Amazon Supposedly Asked Job Applicants to Solve This!

Turns out, it’s a problem that can be traced back to at least one place, if not Amazon—a 2010 paper in the Atlantic Electronic Journal of Mathematics. If digging through an obscure academic journal isn’t exactly your idea of a fun Friday night, fear not: the YouTubers behind the channel MindYourDecisions do a great job of breaking down how to solve the problem and reach the correct answer. Now you can get back to worrying about other things, like where you see yourself in five years.

Have a hobby? Enjoy working on cars or building birdhouses? Make YouTube videos, and start earning money.

You will need 1,000 subscribers to start monetizing your channel (translation: getting paid). And until you have 10,000 subscribers, the pay is barely lunch money.

But hundreds of thousands of YouTubers make thousands of dollars a year. Among them: Markiplier, one of the top-earning YouTubers in the world, with more than 20 million subscribers.

His advice? Make videos about something you love, and the viewers should come around. “Just enjoy it and be yourself,” he told us this past summer.

8 Key Differences between Gen Z and Millennials

Generation Z (also known as Post-Millennials, the iGeneration, Founders, Plurals, or the Homeland Generation) is the demographic cohort following the Millennials.

Just so we’re clear:
A “Millennial” is a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000.

In 2020, the world will generate 50x more data than we generated in 2011

Data, and a systematic approach to uncover truths about the world around us,
have changed the world.
“More than anything, what data scientists do is make discoveries while swimming
in data. It’s their preferred method of navigating the world around them,”
concludes Patil.

Let’s look at the some broad categories of roles that all get lumped under the
umbrella term “Data Science”
Data Scientists
One definition of a data scientist is someone who knows more programming
than a statistician, and more statistics than a software engineer. Data
scientists fine-tune the statistical and mathematical models that are applied onto
that data. This could involve applying theoretical knowledge of statistics and algorithms
to find the best way to solve a data problem.
Data Analysts and Business Analysts
Data analysts sift through data and provide reports and visualizations to explain
what insights the data is hiding. When somebody helps people from across the
company understand specific queries with charts, they are filling the data analyst
(or business analyst) role. In some ways, you can think of them as junior data
scientists, or the first step on the way to a data science job.

Data Engineers
Data engineers are software engineers who handle large amounts of data, and
often lay the groundwork and plumbing for data scientists to do their jobs effectively.
They are responsible for managing database systems, scaling the data
architecture to multiple servers, and writing complex queries to sift through
the data. They might also clean up data sets, and implement complex requests
that come from data scientists, e.g. they take the predictive model from the data
scientist and implements it into production-ready code.
Data engineers, in addition to knowing a breadth of programming languages (e.g.
Ruby or Python), will usually know some Hadoop-based technologies (e.g. MapReduce,
Hive, and Pig) database technologies like MySQL, Cassandra and MongoDB.
