The Hubble telescope captured the galaxy NGC 685, made up of more than 100 million stars, appearing to orbit in the depths of space The average galaxy NGC 685 contains at least 100 million stars. About 58 million light-years from Earth, galaxy NGC 685 appears to be orbiting in the depths of space. The Hubble Space Telescope image, the last of six released as part of Hubble's Galaxy Week, shows the galaxy with its spiral arms dotted with countless pockets of bright blue regions called star clusters. Closer to the center of the galaxy, there are also many twisted red wisps, representing bands of gas and dust where new generations of stars form over eons. [caption id="attachment_69171" align="aligncenter" width="598"] galaxy[/caption] NGC 685: a galaxy home to millions of stars surprised Hubble NASA's accompanying description of the photo of the galaxy NGC 685 says it is located in the constellation Eridanus, measures about 60,000 light-years, and may contain at least 100 million stars. In comparison, the Milky Way is estimated to consist of approximately 100 billion stars. Despite the difference in size and number of stars, both galaxies have an interesting feature: they have a central bar that crosses the cores of the galaxies. In this image of the galaxy NGC 685, this red-flecked bar can be seen stretching horizontally within a small circle of gas and dust. Its intense brilliance is due to the many stars concentrated in a relatively small area. Previous studies have shown that such bars are observed in about two-thirds of spiral galaxies. Gas and other material flows into the galactic cores through these bridges, indicating that the galaxy's "formative period" is over, astronomers say. Although little time has been devoted to studying NGC 685, studying bar galaxies like this one helps astronomers understand how galaxies evolve and whether the process is different for our galaxy.

Reasons Why Space Exploration Is Important
The first landing on the moon was an exciting point in history. Since then, people have become more and more interested in space exploration. A lot has been achieved in space including satellites, weather prediction and all that. This is a very small percentage of what can be achieved in space. It was believed that by the 21st century, space travel would have become something of a routine but it seems like that time hasn’t come yet. The sad truth is that some people are now questioning if we really need space travel anymore. With all we have to deal with on earth, is there any need to add to the burden? Space travel in itself is expensive, is there need to explore anymore? Here are the reasons why space exploration is important.
One of the major reasons why we should continue space exploration is to protect ourselves from asteroids. There haven’t been cases of asteroids falling on earth lately but it is important that they are monitored. There are small asteroids that break up in the atmosphere and can cause no harm but there are also bigger ones that could cause lots of destruction if they happen to fall on earth. This is why it is important that these asteroids are monitored and stopped before it is too late.
Another great thing that has been done and can be done in space is coming up with innovations in medicine. If we learn what is going on in space that affects our health, it is easier to deal with it. We cannot be able to find solutions to our health problems when we don’t understand what it is. Osteoporosis is one of the conditions that is being researched into space.
There have been discoveries and innovations that have only been as a result of space travel. Vacuum cleaners in our homes were an innovation that resulted from learning about how a vacuum works in space. If we are to see more of these surprising and helpful innovations, it is important that space travel continues and this is only possible when there is easy transportation from low earth orbit into outer space.
Space travel and exploration is a subject that is very fascinating for kids. If you want to inspire a kid to work hard and be an aeronautical engineer, mention things like traveling to mars and you have them locked in. you can be sure that because of this exciting thought of a spaceship traveling into mars, they are going to put more effort into their studies. Read more here the materials that is used in orbit refueling.
If you want to expand your company further, one of the ways is to explore the outer space. There is a lot that private companies can benefit from space exploration because they can get raw materials from things like asteroids. Closer home, there is the moon and if a company is looking for raw material, they can get something like helium and other elements that are needed in electronics. Companies that are into solar panel manufacturing can also benefit from the elements that can be found on the moon such as in orbit refueling.

ANS TO QUESTION 1:
I want to work with “Smart tv”
Few steps of typical use of tv:
(1) Pick the remote
(2) Press the button (it will take some time to open)
(3) Scroll through the option to watch favorite channel.
Pain points:
“annoyance”
Step 2: Press the button (it will take some time to open) ( “annoyance” ) older model tv’s tend to take too much time to open up.
Solution:
We could use a “facial recognition” sensor to the power button of a TV, just like what Iphone’s facial recognition technology. It’s fast. We could use this sensor for another purpose, this sensor will store the information of favorite channel, whenever someone tries to start the tv,the sensor will help the individual to start his/her favorite channel without touching the remote! You just need to look at the sensor , then that’s it.
The lean canvas:
Target customers:
Every household, Tv companies.
Problem:
The sensor could be costly for an individual customer.
Solution:
We could implement our own brand card system so that a customer can buy this sensor by monthly installment system.
Unique value proposition:
The world is moving forward with 5G, why you are with 2G!!
Revenue streams:
Tv companies, Tv users.
Channels:
By Facebook, by various social media platforms, by our friends and family members. Promoting our brand in malls, restaurants etc.
Unfair advantages:
When we will promote our brand, we could collect a customer’s phone number, and email id by giving him a coupon code (for a discount).
ANS TO QUESTION 2:
Applications of Automation:
Driverless Taxi:
It is also known by Robo taxies. These vehicles are driverless, fully automated, and are now being operated by various ride-sharing companies. Most of these vehicles actually use electricity instead of fossil fuels, which makes them eco-friendly and cost-saving platforms. Most of these vehicles are compact in size, so these vehicles are very suitable in metropolitan areas and busy cities, these vehicles also need a small parking area which makes them a perfect transportation system in busy areas. Several companies such as waymo and baidu are now offering robo taxies service in limited areas.
Space:
We surely have heard the name rover. It’s a planetary space exploration robot that can gather samples or soil samples. It can also carry human spaceship members, but the main purpose of these robots is to collect, analyze and send information about the elements (such as dust, soil, rocks, liquids) of the surface of different planets. Nasa and other space organizations have been using this kind of robot for decades now. Some of them are Apollo lunar roving vehicle, lunokhod 2, prop M, Lunokhod 3, chang’e 3’s, etc.
Apollo 15 lunar roving vehicle (Wikipedia)
Home appliances:
Automation system is now being used in different types of home appliances. Such as ‘Roomba’. It looks like a trash can, but the purpose is totally opposite. It is basically a robot that can vacuum our entire houses by its own. There is a robotics company called iRobot’s and it is their flagship product. Nowadays it is being upgraded furthermore.
Industry:
We can now find automation almost every floor of an industry, be it an agricultural industry, or transport industry. Whether it is a car production line or RMG factory, it is very difficult to imagine a production line without automation. Various types of computer software’s, robots are now being used to implement the automation system. In the past, these tasks were done manually, as the demand increased, automation systems became a major part of an industry.

ANS TO QUESTION 3:
“Animal-free meat can in principle be cheaper than ordinary animal meat. So, when we finally figure out how to make it taste better, but at a lower price, society will switch in a big way. There will be no going back”
Completely agree with this. If we could ensure the taste, the quality, the price of that laboratory-made meat ,I don’t find any reason why can’t we all eat that meat?!
“large amounts of highly processed, nutritionally deficient foods are now widely consumed (like potato chips and soda pop”
True, a few days ago when I went to Walmart, most of the customer’s carts were full of frozen, highly processed food like chips, coke etc. I don’t know how nutritious those food are, but one reason we eat those food is they don’t need much time to cook, they are cheap
“Impossible Foods sells a veggie burger that, to the eater, is like one made of ground beef, from texture to color to taste. The key ingredient that distinguishes their burgers: heme. Heme, they found, is key to making meat red and taste meaty, but they figured out how to make it from plants”
Wow! But that should be costly than the original animal based meat burger!
Came to know about why a plant-based meat and cultured meat could be much cheaper than animal-based meat!

Hubble's image of spiral galaxy NGC 6951 shows its bright blue spiral arms, bars, patches of star clusters, and clumps of dust. The galaxy NGC 6951, which lies 78 million light-years from Earth, was captured in a new Hubble image created by the Wide Field Camera (WFC3) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). The image shows bright blue spiral arms, star clusters, and a dark orange dust cloud. [caption id="attachment_64740" align="aligncenter" width="780"] spiral galaxy NGC 6951[/caption] The history of this galaxy is quite amazing. About 800 million years ago, NGC 6951 was known for its high rate of star formation, but then star formation stopped for 300 million years. Over the past 25 years, six powerful supernova explosions have occurred, causing the extinction of some of these stars. The average age of a star cluster in the galaxy is between 200 and 300 million years, but some have reached the age of one billion years. An angle straight to the heart: Hubble captured a detailed image of the spiral galaxy NGC 6951 NGC 6951 is classified as a Type II Seyfert galaxy due to its infrared emission and the presence of a slow-moving gaseous environment at the center. However, some astronomers also consider it to be a low-ionization galaxy with an emission line in the core, implying a cooler and less ionized core. Near the center of the galaxy lies a supermassive black hole, which is surrounded by a ring of stars, gas, and dust with a diameter of about 3,700 light years. This ring is also known as the "central ring" and is thought to have star formation for 1 to 1.5 billion years, with 40% of its mass consisting of stars less than 100 million years old. This image of NGC 6951 is part of NASA's Hubble Photo Sharing Campaign, which features new images taken by the space telescope every day from October 2 to October 7.

Very simply everything you see came from somewhere!
There are atoms everywhere. They are ‘so-ordered’ on the Earth. Why?
Closest celestial body – the moon. Took us long enough to get there. Now, we reach for the stars!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_exploration
So, IF we are this intelligent, other forms of life/intelligence/species? Where does it ALL come…
