Dragon’s Egg Nebula
Dragon’s Egg Nebula: Astronomers have been puzzled by a nebula, nicknamed the Dragon’s Egg, which comprises a cloud of gas and dust enveloping a binary star system. The Dragon’s Egg Nebula formed due to the intense stellar winds emitted by a massive, hot central star. One of the stars in the pair of binary stars […]
Sympathetic Solar Flare : Observed
Sympathetic Solar Flare : Observed A rare “super-sympathetic” solar flare event featuring four simultaneous eruptions, was recently observed by astronomers. A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation coming from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. They are our solar system’s largest explosive events. They are seen as bright areas on the […]
Network As a Service
Network As a Service: In a world of hyper-connectivity, network as a service promises to deliver a better day-to-day user experience. Network as a Service (NaaS) is a cloud service model in which customers rent networking services from a cloud vendor instead of setting up their own network infrastructure. It allows customers to operate their […]
