    Today, in  this blog post we're going to talk about a planet which I quite assume you didn't know existed . Or if you even did know , you were pretty unaware of all the information that this post tells about it . So  carry on reading about THE J1407B.     

    Saturn and its Rings

You all must have heard of it right ? It's the 6th planet from the Sun in the same Solar system to which we belong .  According to me its a really beatiful gas giant , what sets it apart from the other planets is it's "RINGS" 

 What are these rings made of ?
    Particles. Yes countless particles of all sizes , ranging from having a diameter of few micrometers to a few meters . These are mostly water ice particles intermingled with a trace of rocks and other rocky materials. You think Saturn's Rings are beautiful? Hold up. 
Here's an exoplanet 433.8 light years away from earth ,orbiting around V1400 centauri to blow your mind.

   This is a brown Dwarf which has been lurking around our universe from about 16.01 million years , quite young. But this magnificent planet was discovered recently in 2012 , by Eric Mamajek. To honour the discoverer this planet is also called Mamajek's object. 
    This is the first exoplanet with a ring system to be discovered by transit method. The radius of the ring system is about 90 million kms (640x of Saturn) and mass of the rings is somewhat same as that of the our planet earth. There are gaps in between these rings which suggests presence of natural satellites or "moons" of this exoplanet. The mass of this exomoon has been calculated to be roughly 0.8 Earth's Mass. Due to it's enormous, magnificent and beautiful rings it's also called Super Saturn or Saturn on Steroids 😆

    Next time someone asks you which the most beautiful planet out there in the vast universe _ just say " Saturn On Drugs" J1407B.

Billionaires and Their Favourite Foods

    Photo Courtesy: Author  B20_ Billionaires and their favourite foods        Recently, I had a strange dream which seemed very real. In my dream I was seated besides Steve Jobs,  Elon Musk,  Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, and all of us were having dinner. Salt Bae and Gordon Ramsay served us the delicious food and we enjoyed the meal. When I woke up it seemed that I was inside a dream,  just like Leonardo Dicaprio was in Inception.     Therefore, I thought that it would be a nice idea to read and write about the favourite foods of some billionaires.     Just wait to know Jeff Bezos' and Steve Jobs' most relished dish. 1. Bill Gates       Bill Gates just loves eating burgers 🍔 , no matter what's inside it. As long it is a burger it's the favourite food of the former Microsoft CEO & Co Founder Bill Gates.

STOCKS

        B7_You must have heard of several terms like stocks,shares etc. and wondered what do they mean . Here's the best blog for you to understand these terms  ________________________________     📉 WHAT ARE STOCKS 📈 ? Well there are several ways to define what are stocks. Stocks  are technically defined as the shares of corporation into which ownership of the corporation or company is divided among the stock/share holders. Most of the people can't understand what does it mean , So, I define stocks/shares simply as a part in a company that is provided for sale by the concerned company to people . ________________________________ For eg. If SpaceX🚀 or Tesla🚗 has provided 100 shares of their  company for sale in the stock market then they are offering people to own 100 parts of their company . If you buy 69 stocks then you own 69 shares out of 100 of the company whose stocks you have bought . ________________________________ ...
