Five Celestial Objects Seeable with Naked Eye
Written by Seemab on January 24, 2011 under Info | View Comments
Celestial Objects
Celestial objects are usually referred to as Astronomical Objects or Bodies. This term refers to the outer space physical units, associations or formations. Usually, a celestial body is a single entity or unified structure that is joined together by the virtue of a gravitational force like Earth, Moon, Sun, other planets, stars etc. A celestial object / body might be a single body, star huddle or a whole galaxy. Usually, a telescope is needed to view astronomical objects, but there are certain such celestial bodies that are visible even with naked eye. Some of these are huge and close enough to be seen with naked eye like Sun and Moon; others require great eyesight and perfect climate and weather conditions like planets. In this article, I will tell you about some celestial objects that can be seen with naked eye without any difficulty. Let us expand our knowledge.
1. Sun:
Sun is the nearest star to our planet, and this is why we can see it at day without any difficulty at all. In fact, we see with its help in the day time! This certainly isn’t the brightest star of our galaxy; it only is the closest and this is why we do not see other stars in the daytime. In the night, this huge celestial body shines on the other side of the Earth, thus we see stars which are far far away from our planet.
Here are some factual details about this huge star.
- Diameter: 1,392,000 kilometers (109 times diameter of the earth)
- Mass: 2 × 1030 (3,30,000 times mass of the earth)
- Mean distance form the earth: 1.496×108 km
- Hydrogen cover ¾ mass of the sun, left mass consists of helium and very little heavier elements for instance oxygen, iron, carbon etc.
As we all now, it is the centre of our solar system. Every planet of the solar system revolves around this huge bright star. It is a white star, but seems yellow due to the atmospheric scattering of blue light. The surface temperature of sun is around 5505 degree C. It comprises of almost 99.8632% of the total mass of our solar system. A lot of magnetic activity keeps on going on the sun. Its strong magnetic field changes from year to year. After every eleven years, the magnetic field reverses its direction around the solar maximum. This strong magnetic field of the sun is responsible for solar activity like solar flares, solar wind variations and sunspots. Solar activity has, supposedly, played vital role in the formation as well as evolution of the whole solar system. Also, it is responsible for changes in earth’s outer atmosphere, auroras on earth, as well as interrupted radio communication and electric power.
According to what we have been told, this great star was created 4.57 billion years ago due to collapsing of a hydrogen molecular cloud. Looking at the sun directly causes pain and sometimes it can be harmful. Also, viewing a solar eclipse directly can cause serious damage to the eyes of the viewer. Direct exposure to the sunrays is harmful and can cause grave skin ailments. For this purpose, sun blocks and sunscreens are advised to be applied before going out. Sunrays are also being used to produce energy called Solar Energy.
2. Moon:
Moon is a natural satellite, and is the only one Earth possesses. This is the fifth largest natural satellite of our solar system. We can see the moon with naked eye in when the sun sets. Sometimes, we can see it even in the daytime. The moon; though has a very dark surface, is the most bright object in the sky after sun. Its rotation is pretty much synchronized with that of the earth, and this is the reason that we always see the same “face” of moon always. It is also the only celestial object on which humans have landed. Many unmanned spacecrafts have been sent to this natural satellite for further studies. It is the second densest satellite in the solar system, following “Lo”.
Its movement is pretty interesting. In the beginning, it had faster rotation pace, but gravitational forces brought it to a steady speed. The moon takes almost the same time in rotating about its axis as revolving around the earth. Therefore, we always see the same side of the moon called “near side”. The other darker side of the moon is called “far side.”
There are some dark spots that we see on the surface of the moon. These are called “Maria”, which are hardened pools of very old basaltic lava. Maria cover almost 31% of the near side surface, whereas only 2% of the far side surface. Other light colored areas are called “Terrae.” Due to collision of comets and asteroids, various impact craters have been formed on the surface of the moon. Moon is responsible for the high tides in seas and rivers. It is the reason of solar eclipses; which happen when the moon comes in between the sun and the earth. Lunar eclipse occurs when the earth comes in between the sun and the moon, and sun becomes unable to provide illumination to the moon. Thus, we see a lunar eclipse.
It possesses a high status when it comes to cultural mythologies. A calendar is also associated with its name, specifically; the Lunar Calendar.
3. Comet:
Anciently considered as a bad omen when sighted; comets have been observed since old times. It is a small solar system body (SSSB); such object of the solar system which is neither a planet nor a dwarf planet. This is an icy SSSB. It can usually be seen with a tail, due to solar radiations and winds affecting its nucleus. This is why its coma and tail can be seen when it comes close to the sun. These two features distinguishes it form an asteroid. The nucleus is composed of ice, dust, rock and frozen gases. The surface is mostly dry, rocky and dusty. Inner side is believed to be icy.
When a comet is in the outer solar system; it remains unnoticeable. When it reaches the inner solar system, an atmosphere of its own is created around it due to solar wind and radiation. This atmosphere is called coma. The tail is created due to the pressure that is exerted on the coma by solar radiation and wind.
4. Meteoroid:
It is a particle of debris in the solar system, which can be of various sizes. When this debris made celestial object enters the earth’s atmosphere, it transforms into an observable band of light called “Meteor.” It becomes a Fireball when it is brighter than any planet. When the magnitude of a Fireball reaches -14 or brighter, it is called Bolide. A Bolide turns into Superbolide when the magnitude reaches -17 or brighter. A Meteorite is such a meteoroid or asteroid which reaches the surface of the earth undestroyed.
5. Star:
It is a radiant and shining round structure made up of plasma. It is held together by the virtue of gravity. Sun is a star which is visible in the day. Other stars are far away from us and can be seen only in the night; when sun has set. These glittering balls beautify the sky and add up to the charisma of night.

Famous Cartoonists
Cartoons are not only loved by children, but also by most of the grown ups. Though we have grown in age, many of us still sit beside our young siblings while they are watching Looney Tunes, Pink Panther and Thunder Cats. Cartoons attract people of every age; this is why cinema houses are jam packed when there is an animated movie being shown. Have you ever thought about the hands that were behind your favorite Mickey Mouse, Papa Smurf, Ninja Turtles, Liono, Denver the last dinosaur, Tweety etc.? A cartoonist is a specialist in drawing shapes of cartoon characters. In this article, I am going to tell you about some of the most well known and celebrated cartoonists of the world. These artists have never been recognized the way they should be, like singers, actors and dancers. This article is a tribute to such artists who make such comic characters that fill our lives with light humor, and entertain us in best way possible.
Following are some of the best cartoonists of all time.
Walt Disney:

His father was Irish-Canadian whereas his mother was of German-American descent. In his early age at Marceline, Walt dismay developed aptitude for drawing. One of his neighbors paid him for drawing their horse, too. After some time, the family moved to Chicago and Mr. Disney began attending night courses at the Chicago Art institute. As he was a patriot, he left the school when he was 16 in order to join the army but he was rejected for being underage. Being in the school, he started making cartoons for school’s newspaper. His cartoons depicted his patriotism as they were all filled with World War I concept. When he got rejected from the army, he joined Red Cross along with his friend and was sent to France for a year. In France, Mr. Walt Disney worked as an ambulance driver.
After coming back from France, he wanted to start his career as an artist, but no one was willing to give him acting roles. Neither was he able to get a position in a newspaper for cartoon making. With the help of his brother, he got an impermanent job at Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio where he met Ubbe Iwerks; another cartoonist. His job was to create advertisements for theatres, movies and newspapers. After their temporary jobs finished and both were left jobless, they decided to begin a commercial company of their own. “Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists” was very short lived and Disney joined City Film Ad Company, to be joined soon by Iwerks. There, he used to make advertisements that ere based on cut-out animation. He developed interest for animation and decided to be an animator. His employer was kind enough to lend him over a camera for practicing and experimenting. He employed a person and made deal with a theatre to show his first cartoons; “Laugh-O-Grams.”
The show was a hit, and led Mr. Disney to acquire his own studio called “Laugh-O-Grams.” He employed many animators and started working, but was unable to manage high wages and finances. Thus, the company was wound up for being bankrupt. This was the time he decided to move to Hollywood and make a studio there.
Mr. Disney and his brother made a studio in Hollywood and put all their money into it. He had a cartoon made in Kansas but had not aired it, called “Alice Comedies”. He got a distributor, and began moving on with Alice Comedies which was animation with Live Action. This was a huge success.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created and drawn by Iwerks and was a big hit. After that, the distributor took all his great animators except for Iwerks (as he refused to leave Disney), and Disney was left alone. This was the time both of them made Mickey Mouse.
He has won 26 academy awards and has been nominated for academy awards 59 times. Disneyland is another achievement. Mr. Disney died at the age of 65 in 1966.
2. Bill Amend:

Google Earth: History and Features
Written by Seemab on October 28, 2010 under Google, Technology | View Comments
Features of Google Earth
These days, online search is synonymous to “Google”. Peers tell each other “to Google” a term or topic when they mean to search it online. Google has definitely played an important role in the life of every human being who is related to internet in some way. There are many other services provided by Google which have made researches and study even easier like Google Books, Google News, Google Scholar, Google Maps and Google Earth. The latter has gained great deal of importance in past few years as it is one-of-its-kind service. People all around the sphere gain help from this service of Google. Apart from information and study purposes, it is also used as entertainment tool e.g. locating your home on the globe, finding out the location of your high school, searching for the international landmarks like Great Wall of China or Pyramids etc.
In this article, I will discuss the usage of Google Earth, along with the detailed history and background of this grand service.
What is Google Earth?
This is a virtual world map that displays geographical information of the globe. You can locate your house and see the place in map form, terrain form, satellite or hybrid.
History of Google Earth:
We cannot give the whole credit of Google Earth to Google, as it was created by another company. This program was originally named EarthViewer 3D which was fashioned by a company called Keyhole, Inc. As EarthViewer 3D, it was released back in 2001. In 2004, the big daddy Google acquired Keyhole Inc. and obviously, the EarthViewer came under Google’s control. In 2005, this product was released once again, but with a new name; Google Earth. This is available for those systems that run on MS Windows 2100 and above, Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above, Linux Kernel 2.4 and later and FreeBSD. As far as using Google Earth on mobile phones is concerned, it is available as free download both for iPhone OS and Android OS form their respective App Markets.
Overview of the Program:
Google Earth allows users to see images of the earth taken via satellites. These satellite images are of varying resolution; varying according to the significance and popularity of areas. Most of the times, land is covered in minimum 15m of resolution, but at popular places like Las Vegas, Melbourne and Cambridge, we find the highest resolution at fifteen cm. Basically, one will only get 2D image for most parts of the world. It is nothing like seeing something in front of you (or 3D), rather it is something like a huge snapshot of cities and colonies. There are but only few places on the earth that can be seen in 3D mode. These are the places which are considered more like the greatest landmarks like Grand Canyon and Mount Everest. With the help of NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and collected digital elevation model (DEM) data, Google Earth offers these 3 dimensional images. Though the service was unable to render 3D images of places, but now there are certain places of which 3D images can be viewed. Now, we have Street View option as well as exploring moon is also possible with new version of Google Earth. Google Earth is available in 37 languages, with two version of English and Chinese each.
Features of Google Earth:
Now, let us discuss the nice features of Google Earth.
1. Wikipedia and Panoramio
Back in 2006 December, Google added a new layer to the Google Earth called “Geographical Web”. This included integration with Wikipedia and Panoramio. In 2007, Google acquired Panoramio and in 2010 the Geographic Web Layer was removed. Now, Panoramio layer sits in between the main layers and Wikipedia layer is lying in the “More” layer.
2. Flight simulator
There is a flight simulator feature in the Google Earth where the aircrafts can be controlled via keyboard, mouse or joystick. In the beginning, this was a hidden feature, but now it is not. The featured airplanes include F-16 Fighting Falcon and Cirrus R-22.
3. Google sky
It was introduced in 2007. As the name suggests, this feature enables users to view bodies and stars in the space. Though it offers great experience, Google Sky has tough competitions in form of Microsoft WorldWide Telescope and Stellarium.
4. Google Street View
In year 2008, the Street View was fully and completely integrated into Google Earth. In this mode, viewers are able to view some selected parts of few chosen cities at ground level. A 360 degree panoramic street level image is provided. It began with 5 cities, and now it has expanded to a great number of cities worldwide. The street view shows such photographs that have been taken before via an automobile. While in the Street View mode, these photos can be seen in a variety of sizes and from different angles and directions.
5. Ocean
This feature was added in the Google Earth in 2009. It offers views of oceans and underwater 3D imagery. Information from great oceanographers and scientists is included in this mode.
6. Historical Imagery
This feature allows the users to know about historical development and background of a certain place. If you are a student and working on an assignment regarding historical background of a certain place, this feature of Google Earth is bound to aid you big time.
7. Google Moon
As the name suggests, this feature displays images of our beloved moon. Google introduced Google Moon as a feature of Google Moon in 2009, on 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 mission.
8. Google Mars
This feature displays images of planet Mars as well as 3D topographical exposé. Though good for entertainment purposes, this feature can be best used for research purposes and studies.
Things change and technology keeps on developing. It is an ever growing thing, thus these features do not complete Google Earth. The service will keep on growing and we hope to see new and more exciting features and layers in the upcoming
