Explanation: Only six years ago, the entire surface of planet Mercury was finally mapped. Detailed observations of the innermost planet’s surprising crust began when the robotic have been ongoing since the robotic MESSENGER spacecraft first passed Mercury in 2008 and continued until its controlled crash landing in 2015. Previously, much of the Mercury’s surface was unknown as it is too far for Earth-bound telescopes to see clearly, while the Mariner 10 flybys in the 1970s observed only about half. The featured video is a compilation of thousands of images of Mercury rendered in exaggerated colors to better contrast different surface features. Visible on the rotating world are rays emanating from a northern impact that stretch across much of the planet, while about half-way through the video the light colored Caloris Basin rotates into view, a northern ancient impact feature that filled with lava. Recent analysis of MESSENGER data indicates that Mercury has a solid inner core.

How To Code: Insertion Sort in C language

Insertion sort is a basic algorithm for sorting elements in an array or list. Insertion sort works by grabbing one element and comparing to the element next to it. If the element is larger than its neighbor, then the element is left in its original position. If the element is smaller than its neighbor, than it compares it to the other previous elements to find a suitable position. Then all larger values are shifted up a space and the element is inserted into the correct position.

Output:

Sorted Array array:[17][26][36][48][52]

Artificial intelligence bot trained to recognize galaxies

Researchers have taught an artificial intelligence program used to recognize faces on Facebook to identify galaxies in deep space.

The result is an AI bot named ClaRAN that scans images taken by radio telescopes.

Its job is to spot radio galaxies – galaxies that emit powerful radio jets from supermassive black holes at their centers.

An Orthographic Map of Mercury

Nikola Tesla once paid an overdue hotel bill with a ‘working model’ of his ‘death beam’. He warned the staff never to open it, describing it as a war-ending particle weapon that could stop invading armies and make warfare pointless. 

After his death in 1943, someone finally pried the box open and found nothing but a bunch of harmless old electrical components.
