why Plane's Don't Fly Over The Pacific Ocean?

 Hello Dear viewers today we will know about why planes don't fly over the Pacific Ocean?  So let's get start, Why is my airline going out of its way to avoid the Pacific Ocean? Is this a mistake? Did I accidentally sign up for the caribouroute? At first you might think it was a safety issue. The Pacific is the largest and deepest of the world’s oceans.  If a plane encounters a problem over a seemingly endless and bottomless pond of water, the pilots are going to have a rough time finding  a safe spot to set her down. Alaska might not be over populated with international airports, but it’s a lot better than the middle of the ocean. How’s that for a tourism slogan? “Alaska, at least it’s better than sinking!” Okay, I apologize Alaska… Guessing that it was a safety precaution wouldn't be entirely wrong. When planning a route, many pilots prefer to maximize the number of airports along their path. Emergencies are incredibly rare relative to how many planes t...

NASA Satellite launch details

 The Sun … the Moon … the planets… the stars… These natural phenomena have nurtured, guided and inspired life on Earth through out the ages. Yet it wasn't until the beginning of the 20th century, when aerial technology gave birth to the airplane that humans acquired the technical capability to literally reach for the stars. Today, airplanes take us to altitudes of 30,000 feet, allowing us to fly above the clouds at nearly 600 miles per hour. Half way through the 20th century, we invented the technology to go even farther and the satellite era had begun.  The first artificial satellites were launched to low Earth orbit, an area that extends to about 1,200 miles above Earth.The satellite era was destined to show the world that the sky could provide much more than intercontinental transportation and NASA was created.Today in the 21st century, over a thousand operating satellite's orbit planet Earth. They serve us daily with weather prediction, television programming, ...

Top 10 Theories About What Killed Dinosaurs?

Hello Dear viewers today we know about Dinosaurs,(the extinct species). So Lets get start,   Top 10 Theories About What Killed the Dinosaurs  10. Asteroid Many of the other theoretical causes of extinction stem from an asteroid impact, and an impact event is the leading theory as to what killed the dinosaurs. Called the Alvarez hypothesis, it was developed by Nobel Prize winning physicist Luis Alvarez, his geologist son Walter Alvarez and two chemists, Frank Asaro and Helen Michels.The team discovered incredibly high levels of iridium in the sedimentary layers wherethe Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary is found. Iridium is uncommon in the Earth’s crust,but it is common on asteroids. There was only one problem — if an asteroid hit Earth, where was the crater? Well in 1990, 10 years after the theory was published, researchers found the Chicxulub crater in Mexico. It’s believed that is was made by an asteroid thatwas about 110 miles wide and about six across — roughly the...
