First post!

As it says in the title, this is my first post. Though I started this blog, in order to relieve myself from the boredom of staying at home, almost two years ago, I really never started writing anything. Today, out of the blue, I thought that it was time to revive this blog.

Though my only intention of starting this blog was to pen down my understanding of concepts in physics such that it helped in sharing my passion for physics with all the readers but now, I have decided to make this blog a general scientific journal; a journal with all the interesting happenings that I come across in the world of science. I will try posting as regularly as I can.

As I don't have a lot of time today hence I will just add a few links to some interesting topics that I came across in the world of science recently.

• A very interesting article about the possibility of alien metallic life forms - Metallic life form. Sounds like Transformers... But I have always believed that there is no reason why life must be based only on the 'carbon-based' life form that one sees here on earth. As Neil deGrasse Tyson always says, we are just made up of the most common ingredients in the Universe. Why can't there be life forms based on the more exotic elements!

• This is something literally out of Star Wars - A Tatooine like planet. NASA's Kepler mission identifies a planet orbiting a binary star system. The planet has two suns moving across its sky. Unlike our solar system, which has our Sun fixed approximately to the focus of earth's elliptical orbit, the two Suns here move around one another which should give an interesting pattern of day and night.

• I loved reading this article as the approach taken for scientific reasoning was really impressive. The author explains the Importance of Moon by exploring the possibility of what would have happened to earth if there was no moon. I love this approach and I think I should incorporate this perspective into my work too. The article is full of interesting information and it's a must read.
