The Milky Way is a unique galaxy in a sense that it houses a solar system that contains life. Our Earth and the solar system are a very tiny part of the Milky Way. You can see the beauty of our The Milky Way is a galaxy among the billions of other galaxies in our Universe. It is a cluster of stars and other cosmic objects. It houses at least 250 billion stars excluding the other galactic objects. Most of the stars in the Milky Way also have their own solar system in which many planets and asteroids orbit around a star.

Trim Tabs
Trim tabs are small movable surfaces that attach to the trailing edge of flight controls. These tabs can be controlled from the flight deck, and their purpose is to create an aerodynamic force that keeps the flight control in a deflected position. Trim tabs can be installed on any of the primary flight controls.
A very common flight control to find fitted with a trim tab is the elevator. In order to be stable in flight, most airplanes have the center of gravity located forward of the center of lift on the wing. This causes a nose heavy condition, which needs to be balanced out by having the elevator deflect upwards and create a downward force. To relieve the pilot of the need to hold back pressure on the control wheel, a trim tab on the elevator can be adjusted to hold the elevator in a slightly deflected position.

DID YOU KNOW?
A large percentage of asteroids are pulled in by Jupiter's gravity. For this reason, Jupiter is known as the dumping ground for our solar system. Many of the asteroids that are potentially harmful to Earth, the long period comets, tend to be sucked into Jupiter’s gravity field. Jupiter has been called the vacuum cleaner of the solar system because its gravity sucks in asteroids and comets, protecting us from those objects.
Thanks Jupiter!

Math is important in any field. And, this is especially true in Aviation! Math explains numbers, measurements and space, which are all important when piloting an aircraft. Math will help you analyse information, come up with calculated decisions and solutions, as well as predict possible outcomes.

The Tongan eruption will go down in the history of volcanology!
The blast on the 15th January 2022 sent shock waves around the globe and defied scientific expectations. Researchers are now scrambling to work out why.
The eruption that devastated Tonga on January 15th lasted just 11 hours, but it will take years for scientists to work out exactly what happened during the cataclysmic explosion — and what it means for future volcanic risks.
The volcano, named Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha‘apai, sent a plume of ash soaring into the upper atmosphere and triggered a tsunami that destroyed homes on Tonga’s nearby islands. Reverberations from the eruption circled the globe multiple times.
