Perfect planning - A model city


Showing this picture I could teach any one what a perfect square is.

The lights are speaking about the planning done to build this city. I hope India too will have one such city in future.

Planets in line!

Planets in line (Moon, Venus and Mercury)

A wonderful snap of the planets from earth. Captured on 6th March 2008.

Last week, Mercury, Venus, and the Moon all appeared close together in Earth's sky. This picturesque conjunction was caught on camera behind elements of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) near the town of Narrabri in rural New South Wales. The ATCA consists of six radio telescopes in total, each one larger than a house. Together they form one of the highest resolution measurement devices in the world. Impressive planetary conjunctions occur every few years. Involving the brightest objects in the night sky, this alignment was easy to spot just before sunrise. In the picture, taken on the morning of March 6, Mercury is the highest of the three bright celestial beacons.
