Solar plane lands in New York City

A solar-powered airplane finished crossing the United States on Saturday, landing in New York City after flying over the Statue of Liberty during its historic bid to circle the globe, the project team said.  The spindly, single-seat experimental aircraft, dubbed Solar Impulse 2, arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 4 a.m. local time after it took off about five hours beforehand at Lehigh Valley International Airport in Pennsylvania, the team reported on the airplane's website.  Such a pleasure to land in New York! For the 14th time we celebrate sustainability," said the project's co-founder Andre Borschberg on Twitter after flying over the city and the Statue of Liberty during the 14th leg of the trip around the globe. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

An aurora has been spotted outside our Solar System

An aurora has been spotted outside our Solar System interestingly, researchers report. A global group distinguished the light show around a cocoa predominate around 18 light years away in the Lyra heavenly body. They say the brilliant sparkle resembles Aurora Borealis, however is up to a million times brighter and more red than green in shading. The discoveries are accounted for in the diary Nature.  Dr Stuart Littlefair, a space expert from the University of Sheffield, said: "This is the first occasion when that we have affirmed we are seeing auroras on cocoa midgets." Shining auroras are a portion of the Earth's most stunning presentations. This brilliant gleam can likewise show up around every one of the planets in our Solar System.They are brought on when charged particles from the Sun communicate with the air.

Called LSR J1835, it was watched utilizing the Very Large Array radio telescope and the Hale and Keck optical telescopes. The researchers watched the item as it quickly pivoted, and watched how the light shifted. "The brilliance changes are steady with what you would anticipate from auroras," said Dr Littlefair.The diminutive person's aurora is mostly red in shading in light of the fact that the charged particles are fundamentally interfacing with hydrogen in its environment. On Earth, the greenish gleam is brought on as the electrons from the Sun hit oxygen atoms.However, researchers are confounded about how the light show is being produced. 

The cocoa smaller person is a kind of fizzled star itself, and has no

"It is conceivable material is being peeled off the surface of the cocoa smaller person to deliver its own particular electrons," said Dr Littlefair. Another alternative is a so far undetected planet or moon around the diminutive person is throwing off material to light it up.  Some of Jupiter's auroras are created along these lines, as charged particles are radiated from volcanoes on its moon Io.The disclosure is likewise helping researchers to better comprehend chestnut diminutive people. 

There is some civil argument about whether they are more star-like in their inclination, or whether they have planetary properties. "In the event that you are working in chestnut diminutive people, it is important whether you consider them little stars or huge planets," said Dr Littlefair. "We definitely known from perceptions of chestnut diminutive people that they have mists in the air. Presently we know they additionally demonstrate auroras, it is yet more motivation to consider chestnut diminutive people as scaled-up forms of planets instead of downsized variant of stars."
