What and When to Expect from the Raspberry Pi 5

Image
  Raspberry Pi boards remain one of the top choices for inexpensive, general-purpose, all-around, single-board computers. Linux-based Raspberry Pi kits have had several iterations since its launch in 2012. Almost a decade after, four generations have been released. Despite various enhancements and upgrades, the Raspberry Pi computer board maintains its affordability. The small board is a big hit not only for computer enthusiasts, but also for DIY makers, hobbyists, and project builders, as well.The fourth generation of Raspberry Pi received a full upgrade. With a faster CPU, more RAM options, faster Bluetooth, integration of the latest USB-C ports, and many other upgrades, the Raspberry Pi 4 could deliver a desktop performance, which is what most people had been waiting for. The next question is “Could it get any better?” Nothing is constant in technology, and upgrades and updates pop up like mushrooms every now and then.

How to Survive a Killer Asteroid

Image
  The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs would probably have killed you too—unless you were in the exact right place and had made the exact right plans.   Let’s say for a moment you want to camp alongside the dinosaurs. But not just any dinosaurs. You want to camp alongside the most famous. The most fearsome. So let’s say you spin the dials on a time machine to 66.5 million years ago and you travel back to the late Cretaceous period. There’s the tyrannosaurus hunting the triceratops. There’s the alamosaurus, one of the largest creatures to ever walk the earth. There’s the tank-like ankylosaurus crushing opponents with its wrecking-ball tail. And just as you settle down on one particular evening, there’s a brand-new star in the northern hemisphere sky. The star won’t flash, flare up, or blaze across the horizon. It will appear as stationary and as twinkly as all the others. But look again a few hours later and you might think this new star seems a little brighte...

Halley's Comet

Image
Halley's Comet Halley's Comet or Comet Halley , officially designated 1P/Halley , is a short-period comet visible from the earth every 75-76 years . Halley is the only known short-period comet that is regularly visible to the naked eye from the earth, and the only naked-eye comet that might appear twice in a human lifetime. Halley last appeared in the inner part in the solar system in 1986 and will next appear in mid-2061 to 2062 .  Halley's return to the inner solar system has been observed and recorded by the astronomers since 240BC . Clear records of the comet's appearance were made by Chinese, Babylonian and medieval European chronicles , but, at those times were not recognised as appearances of the same object. The comet's periodicity was first determined in 1705 by English astronomer Edmond Halley , after whom it is now named.

Which are some prominent gods of Ancient Egypt?   The Ancient Egyptians had many gods and goddesses- over 2000, in-fact! Unlike other ancient cultures, whose gods looked somewhat like people, most Egyptian gods had an animal head. 'Ra' was the most important God. He was the lord of all the gods and was usually shown in human form with a falcon head, crowned with the sun disc encircled by a sacred cobra. The king of gods was Amun, and when Amun was combined with the Sun God Ra, he was even more powerful. He was then called Amun-Ra. Bastet, the daughter of Sun God Ra, was the Goddess of Protection and of household entertainment. Thoth was the God of Wisdom, writing and knowledge, while Sobek was the God of the Nile. Horus was the God of Sky, Geb was the Earth God, and Tefnut was the Goddess of Rain. Osiris was an ancient Egyptian God of Growing Things.    Sekmet was the Goddess of War and Battle while Anubis was God of Embalmingand the Dead. The Egyptians beli...

CIVILIZATION AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN (PART-1)

Image
Why is the civilization of Ancient Egypt awe-inspiring? The civilization of Ancient Egypt lasted for over three thousand years. When did this civilization begin? Well, farmers first settled in Egypt along the River Nile around 5000 BC. Egypt is mainly made up of hot deserts and receives little rainfall. Without the River Nile, the whole area would be just a barren desert. All of Egypt depended on River Nile for water, food, and transportation. The Nile would flood each year, coating the land on either side of the river with, thick black mud. This mud was ideal for growing crops. In short, Nile provides the ancient Egyptians with fertile land which helped them to grow their crops and raise their animals. Gradually, two separate kingdoms, ruled by different kings, developed along Nile River. The kingdom in Upper Egypt-the area on both sides of the Nile- was known as the White Crown, and the kingdom in lower Egypt was called the Red Crown. Around 3200 BC, the two were united ...
