The style is sometimes called North Indian classical music or ShÄstriya SangÄ«t. It is a tradition that has been evolving since the 12th century CE, in North India. It is one of the two sub-genres of classical music practiced in India, the other being Carnatic music, the classical tradition of South India.
Scientists have discovered a new planet orbiting a Sun-like star, and the exoplanet is the smallest yet found in data from the Kepler mission. The planet, Kepler-37b, is smaller than Mercury, but slightly larger than Earthâs Moon.
Eris, the largest known dwarf planet, was first detected in data collected in October of 2003. It was not identified until January of 2005. Mike Brown and his team of astronomers discovered what was considered to be the 10th planet while doing observations at the Palomar Observatory in California.t 2400 kilometers in diameter, Eris is slightly larger than Pluto. Its discovery was one of the reasons the International Astronomical Union felt it was necessary to definitely define what should be considered a planet. Eris does not clear out its orbit, so it did not meet one of the requirements.
