A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Anaheim, United States by TravelPod blogger Ujju. See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com To all who come to this happy place welcome “”The world of Magic: To all who come to this happy place welcome” This is the phrase from the famous welcome note that hangs on almost all Disney parks around the world, except for the one in Florida. Who on earth wouldn’t't be thrilled & excited to enter the world of Disney. The child in everyone would come alive as long as you are in the Magic kingdom. Oh I don’t have words to explain how I felt when I saw Disneyland for the first time in my life. Well that was in Paris. I felt the same even after entering Disneyland for the second time in LA. I was a little girl again. I remembered how my grand mum would tell stories about her visit to Disneyland in the late 90′s. It was like a dream coming true. I’d heard so much from so many people about this magic place on earth, every visit to it would be nothing less than seeing it for the first time. I, literally went crazy! Some trivia now; read on Wiki, that “Mickey Mouse” got it’s name from Walt Disney’s wife, Lillian Disney. During a train trip from New York to California in 1928, Walt showed a drawing of the cartoon mouse to his wife and told her that he was going to name it “Mortimer Mouse”. She replied that the name sounded “too baby like” and she was very proud to have suggested the name “Mickey Mouse” instead of Mortimer …

Animation of a GIANT impact Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech bit.ly This artist’s concept shows a celestial body about the size of our moon slamming at great speed into a body the size of Mercury. nasa’s Spitzer Space Telescope found evidence that a high-speed collision of this sort occurred a few thousand years ago around a young star, called HD 172555, still in the early stages of planet formation. The star is about 100 light-years from Earth. Spitzer detected the signatures of vaporized and melted rock, in addition to rubble, all flung out from the giant impact. Further evidence from the infrared telescope shows that these two bodies must have been traveling at a velocity relative to each other of at least 10 kilometers per second (about 22400 miles per hour). As the bodies slammed into each other, a huge flash of light would have been emitted. Rocky surfaces were vaporized and melted, and hot matter was sprayed everywhere. Spitzer detected the vaporized rock in the form of silicon monoxide gas, and the melted rock as a glassy substance called obsidian. On Earth, obsidian can be found around volcanoes, and in black rocks called tektites often found around meteor craters. Shock waves from the collision would have traveled through the planet, throwing rocky rubble into space. Spitzer also detected the signatures of this rubble. In the end, the larger planet is left skinned, stripped of its outer layers. The core of the smaller body and most of its surface were absorbed by …
