July night sky

The night sky offers an ever-changing display of fascinating objects you can see, from stars and constellations to bright planets, often the moon, and sometimes special events like meteor showers. All of us look at the stars but how many of us are eager to view the planets ?
Here's a look at when to see the brightest planets in the July night sky .

July 5: Hovering just above the moon as darkness falls on this Saturday evening is Mars, which shines brightly in the south-southwest sky at dusk

July 7: Saturn appears as a bright yellowish-white "star" shining sedately 1.3 degrees above and to the left of the gibbous moon this evening. Almost everyone remembers his or her first view of Saturn. The magnificent ring system, the banded globe, and the faintly shimmering moons make Saturn an object of exquisite beauty. 

July 12: Mercury arrives at its greatest elongation this morning, 21 degrees west of the sun. Look for it about 45 minutes before sunrise appearing as a bright "star" in the brightening twilight shining about 8 degrees below and to the left of brilliant Venus.

July 24: Venus, the "morning star," rises at first light and shines low in the east-northeast as dawn brightens. 

The main problem with eating and drinking in space is that there is no gravity. If you let go of a piece of food in a space craft, it will drift around, not fall to the floor. Water won't stay in a cup, it will float out and hang in the air. 
Special ways of packaging and eating foods had to be invented for space meals. Scientists spend lots of time working on foods for space travel, to make sure astronauts stay fit, happy and healthy, so they can be at their best while they are in space.

Wow !! It is really amazing . It sounds very exciting when you plan your holiday in space . I would love to visit moon or any other planet . The feeling of being inside the space ships cannot be explained.

I heard about Kalpana Chawla & Sunita Williams when i was young & then this interest grew . 

Sunita Williams, Expedition 32 flight engineer, appears to touch the bright sun during a spacewalk conducted on 5 September 2012.

Williams said "I also carried samosas in space during my travel, as you can never have enough," she said while talking about her love for Indian food.Amazing !! Isn't it ??

Evidences of life is found on Mars . Lets see what happens next .

“Contact light.” : The actual first words spoken from the surface of the Moon, by Buzz Aldrin on 20 July 1969 when Apollo 11 landed. Over six hours later, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and uttered the immortal line “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind”

When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
