Will the coronavirus ever go away?
No one knows for sure. Scientists think the virus that causes Covid-19 may be with us for decades or longer, but that doesn't mean it will keep posing the same threat.
The virus emerged in late 2019 and it's difficult to predict how it will behave over the long term. But many experts believe it's likely the disease will eventually ease from a crisis to a nuisance like the common cold.
That would happen as people build up immunity over time, either through infection or vaccination. Other viruses have followed a similar path.
The 1918 flu pandemic could also offer clues about the course of Covid-19.

What Is the Hubble Space Telescope?
News: Hubble Space Telescope beams back mesmerising image of a nebula!
The Hubble Space Telescope is a large telescope in space. NASA launched Hubble in 1990. Hubble is as long as a large school bus. It weighs as much as two adult elephants. Hubble travels around Earth at about 5 miles per second.
Hubble faces toward space. It takes pictures of planets, stars and galaxies. Hubble has seen stars being born. Hubble has seen stars die. It has seen galaxies that are trillions of miles away. Hubble also has seen comet pieces crash into the gases above Jupiter.
Scientists have learned a lot about space from Hubble pictures. The pictures are beautiful to look at too.

What is Sandstorm or Dust Storm?
News: Beijing witnesses worst sandstorm in a decade, causing severe air pollution
A dust storm, also called sandstorm, is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gust front or other strong wind blows loose sand and dirt from a dry surface. Fine particles are transported by saltation and suspension, a process that moves soil from one place and deposits it in another.
Drylands around North Africa and the Arabian peninsula are the main terrestrial sources of airborne dust.
The term sandstorm is used most often in the context of desert dust storms, especially in the Sahara Desert, or places where sand is a more prevalent soil type than dirt or rock, when, in addition to fine particles obscuring visibility, a considerable amount of larger sand particles are blown closer to the surface. 🌪

Where did all of Mars' water go?
News: Missing water on Mars may not have 'escaped to space', could be lurking underground: Study
Billions of years ago, Mars was home to lakes and oceans — but where all the water went to transform the planet into the desolate rock we know today has been something of a mystery. Most of it was thought to have been lost to space, but a new study funded by NASA proposes that it didn't go anywhere but is trapped within minerals in the crust. "We're saying that the crust forms what we call hydrated minerals, so minerals that actually have water in their crystal structure.

What is Permafrost?
Permafrost is any ground that remains completely frozen—32°F (0°C) or colder—for at least two years straight. These permanently frozen grounds are most common in regions with high mountains and in Earth’s higher latitudes—near the North and South Poles.
Permafrost covers large regions of the Earth. Almost a quarter of the land area in the Northern Hemisphere has permafrost underneath. Although the ground is frozen, permafrost regions are not always covered in snow.
What Is Permafrost Made Of?
Permafrost is made of a combination of soil, rocks and sand that are held together by ice. The soil and ice in permafrost stay frozen all year long.
Permafrost soils also contain large quantities of organic carbon—a material leftover from dead plants that couldn’t decompose, or rot away, due to the cold and minerals.

Largest asteroid to pass by Earth this year
Asteroid 2001 FO32 ( see image) makes its closest approach to Earth, giving astronomers the chance to study the rock as it passes.
The largest asteroid to pass by Earth this year has made its closest approach, posing no threat of a cataclysmic collision but giving astronomers a rare chance to study a rock formed during the beginning of our solar system.
The asteroid was two million kilometres (1.25 million miles) away at its nearest, according to NASA – more than five times the distance between the Earth and the Moon but still close enough to be classified as a “potentially hazardous asteroid”.

Satellite ELSA-d to Clean up Space Debris
ELSA-d is the world’s first commercial mission that will demonstrate technologies for space debris docking and removal.
ELSA-d's servicer satellite has been developed to safely remove debris objects from orbit, equipped with proximity rendezvous technologies and a magnetic docking mechanism.
ELSA-d consists of two satellites stacked together -- one is a servicer designed to safely remove debris from orbit and the other a client satellite that will serve as a piece of replica or mock debris.

SATURN'S TILT
A team of researcher reported that Saturn’s axial tilt is caused by the gravitational pull of Saturn’s moons as they migrate away from their host planet.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system and is made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Its axis is tilted by 26.73 degrees with respect to its orbit around the Sun, which is similar to Earth's 23.5-degree tilt.
Saturn is the planets with most moons. Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in the Solar System.
(Jupiter's moon Ganymede is largest.)

PLANTS GENERATING MAGNETIC FIELD
• A recent study by scientific from Germany found that the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) plant is capable of generating small magnetic fields.
• These plants send electrical signals to trigger the closure of their traps, to catch an insect, a biomagnetism phenomenon was observed. While leaf stalk, or petiole, is not excitable and is electrically insulated from the trap.
• Magnetic signals in plants are very weak and it was extremely difficult to measure, while using new and advanced atomic magnetometers it is measured at amplitude of up to 0.5 picotesla, which is millions of times weaker than the Earth's magnetic field.
• Scientists hope that this can help in identifying how the plant responds to sudden temperature changes, chemicals, and pest attacks

Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA)
- It is tax treaty between two or more countries to avoid taxing the same income twice is known as DTAA.
- Double taxation is the levy of tax by two or more countries on the same income, asset or financial transaction.
- Under DTAA there are agreed rates of tax and jurisdiction on specified types of income arising in a country.
- When a tax-payer resides in one country and earns income in another country, he is covered under DTAA, if those two countries have DTAA in place. (more related topics)

How is hair produced and how does it grow?
Hair is made of a tough protein called keratin. A hair follicle anchors each hair into the skin. The hair bulb forms the base of the hair follicle. In the hair bulb, living cells divide and grow to build the hair shaft.
