Write short notes on the following (100 Words)
- Japanese microsatellite, Rising-2 (reference)
- ALPHA experiment at CERN (Reference)
- Brazuca and the Magnus Effect (Reference-1, Reference-2)
- Illustris
- Rising-2 is a 50-kg class microsatellite for Earth and planetary observations built by students of Tohoku University and Hokkaido University. Rising-2 has a High Precision Telescope with 400 spectral bands and Bolometer Array infrared camera. These advanced sensors are the world's first use in space.
- ALPHA is an international collaboration based at CERN, and whose aim is stable trapping of antihydrogen atoms, the antimatter counterpart of the simplest atom, hydrogen. By precise comparisons of hydrogen and antihydrogen, the experiment hopes to study fundamental symmetries between matter and antimatter.
- The Illustris project is a large cosmological simulation of galaxy formation, which was completed in late 2013, using a state of the art numerical code and a comprehensive physical model. It can recreate 13 billion years of cosmic evolution with unprecedented resolution. It will help to understand better the nature of universe, galaxy formation, dark matter and dark energy.
