A Movie made from ATOMS!!!!

If someone tells you or asks you about a movie made from atoms!! The first thing that comes to you would probably be , is that person crazy???? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

But now IBM has made this possible and has already made a very short movie with atoms!!!! YES, you read right it is true now.

IBM researchers have successfully made a movie called "A Boy And His Atom-The World's Smallest Movie". The researchers have made this movie using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope for moving the atoms  for each frame. Now sit back and enjoy the movie: 

The ability to move single atoms, one of the smallest particles of any element in the universe, is crucial to IBM's research in the field of atomic-scale memory. In 2012, IBM scientists announced the creation of the world's smallest magnetic memory bit, made of just 12 atoms. This breakthrough could transform computing by providing the world with devices that have access to unpredictable data storage. This movie has been verified by Guinness World Records™ as The World’s Smallest Stop-Motion Film.

Lets have a look at its making:

DANCE OF THE PLANETS!!!!!

Be sure to catch a trio of planets – Mercury, Venus and Jupiter – in the deepening western twilight during the final week of May, 2013. The sky chart above is for tonight (May 23). And notice that the planets are low in the west: they’ll follow the sun beneath the horizon around nightfall. So go outside early to look for them. Find an unobstructed horizon in the direction of sunset. All three planets will appear near the sunset point on the horizon at dusk. Is this a triple conjunction or a planet conjunction.

 If your sky is clear, you should be able to see the sky’s brightest and second-brightest planets – Venus and Jupiter, respectively – popping out some 45 minutes (or sooner) after sunset. About one hour after sunset, there’s a good chance that you’ll see Mercury pairing up with Venus. We are now hearing from people around the world that Mercury is visible to the eye. At mid-northern latitudes, Mercury and Venus set around one and one-quarter hours after the sun. So look for them in bright twilight! From May 24 to 29, all these planets will be less than 5o apart from one another. In the parlance of stargazers, this is called a planetary trio. Typical binoculars cover about 5o of sky, so look for these three planets to fit within a single binocular field in late May 2013!
