Falling Into Jupiter
Twenty-five years ago, an object roughly the size of an oven made space history when it plunged into the clouds of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. On Dec. 7, 1995, the 750-pound Galileo probe became the first probe to enter the gas giant. Traveling at a blistering speed of 106,000 miles per hour, the probe’s protective heat shield experienced temperatures as hot as the Sun’s surface generated by friction during entry. As the probe parachuted through Jupiter’s dense atmosphere, its science instruments made measurements of the planet’s chemical and physical makeup. The probe collected data for nearly an hour before its signal was lost. Its data was transmitted to Earth via the Galileo spacecraft, an orbiter that carried the probe to Jupiter and stayed within contact during the encounter. Learn more about the mission.
The Galileo probe was launched to space aboard space shuttle Atlantis in 1989
The probe consisted of a descent module and a protective deceleration module
The probe traveled to Jupiter attached to the Galileo spacecraft
The probe was released from the spacecraft in July 1995
The probe entered Jupiter’s atmosphere five months later on Dec. 7, 1995
Parachutes were deployed to slow the probe’s descent
The probe collected science data for 58 minutes as it fell into the planet’s atmosphere
The Galileo probe was managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley.

Hyderabad's Spanish Mosque
The beautiful treasures of Hyderabad in India continue to amaze me till date. Visited this mosque last evening.
We were given a warm welcome by Aurangzeb & he shared some interesting facts about this place. But on reaching home, I found to my dismay that only a part of the conversation has been recorded....very unfortunate.
Now coming back to this beautiful structure, it is popularly known as the Spanish Mosque - truly an eye catcher with its intricate mouldings & gilded minarets.
The mosque inspired by Moorish architecture in Spain was commissioned by Paigah noble, Sir Vikar-Ul-Umra Iqbal-Ud-Dowla in 1906. I must mention here that Paigah is a family in the senior aristocracy of Hyderabad State who were associated with the ruling Nizam since its inception.
There is a prayer hall. It is interesting to note that the calligraphy on the walls is in Turkish instead of the usual Arabic. The pedestal for the priest along with a bookshelf resembles those of a church.
On one side of the Mosque lies the graves of the members of the Paigah family.
Considered to be one of the most beautiful & unusual mosques in India.
See you soon 🤗

oh wow i was literally UNAWARE my results came back 2-3 days ago and I was not aware of it
curiously i decided to go check my dna to see if it came back and it DID i just never knew
coincidentally i mentioned that my great grandfather from my mom's side was a jewish man from germany and apparently they picked it up???? my 4-5-6-7-to 12 generations were jewish. but more jews from poland, belarus, Ukrainian, Lithuania, romania, Moldova and hungary. I KNEW i was jewish but then that would mean I have to convert to be considered jewish. it came from both grandparents both maternal and paternal so thats good
crazy realisation, COINCIDENTALLY on shabbat (on Saterday it was still shabbat) i got my results and seeing the jewish was shocking
and most of my dna came from my dad because he was african. he even had capr Verde walking there like theres so much of it and i just found it all shocking. bro then a huge block of British and irish popped up in there, and its ofc connected since i was BORN in britain. ties w scotland. then I got ALL scandinavian dna fully, danish swedish finnish iceland and norwegian was there on MY TEST. like do u know how INSANE that is?
and European, I got italian, greek, Spanish & Portuguese, Bulgarian, romanian, Moldovan, and a few more.
then I had unassigned. my mom is arab ofc as u guys know but this time more uncovered. she had iraqi Azerbaijani Turkish Iran on her side including Georgia yemen and a strong NORTH AFRICAN jews on the side. she also said yemeni ties and Egyptian.
suprisingly, chinese showed up on my test, viet, thai khmer indonesian and myanmar, malaysian, Japanese & more. then Russian as well.
but then. I got south asian dna from my MOM because where she is from has a strong south asian population, so I got bhutanese (from bhutan), indian, pakistani, sri lankan, Nepali, and 3 more. EVEN KAZAHSTAN LMFAOOOO
and lastly, just thought my mom was just the country she was and my dad was from the caribbean and that was it. no. few more popped up. im apparently barbadian, trinidad, descendant of the cayman islands afro population, AFRO LATINA (afro cuban??? that was shocked me more), and tbh it was fun to know everything but I was just so shocked.
it made me laugh how I stopped checking my dna and then randomly, decided to check it again and it came on jewish passover JUST to be suprised w jewish ancestry from mh ancestors on shabbat (shabbat is Friday evening to saturday evening but its passover so it may be a clash??? so yeah don't attack me.)
im just super happy rn because now I can continue learning about new traditions cultures more food to try more countries to visit, music etc
thank god im multiracial and im thankful EVERYDAY im mixed
life is so good right now
been dying to know the sides of my moms family but I know too much of my moms side and still want to know more, so we agreed to the 23andme kit and now we r waiting for the results which takes 5-6 weeks
but once of my uncles, are updating us about digging our family tree and right now, he is saying there is too many mixes in my dads family
bro said that. MY DADS side. has senegalese. swiss. italian. spanish. sweden.
thats the most recent we found and my dad sadly died so I couldnt get to ask him anything.
but being italian and spanish is shocking because he did make me visit his spanish side. my mom said EVERY time she is in that mfing house she IS ALWAYS seeing a flag that has red white and green. she didnt know what that was. but like. ITS THE WAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT VISITING SWITZERLAND AND WANTED TO LIVE THERE in the FUTURE and then boom, a gene has been found.
i love being mixed
