No More Need of AADHAAR Number, Thanks To Virtual Identification (VID) Which enhance AADHAAR security. ( indian report)

From the July 1st 2018 Virtual Identification (VID) system is in operation: UIDAI

Virtual ID is a 16 digit number which is now used in place of AADHAR 12 digit number. This is more secure than aadhar number, because Aadhar carries all our information like bank details, phone number etc but VID carries only name, address and gender.
It is a parallel number to aadhar which can be generated and regenerated anytime and anywhere within 10 sec from UIDAI Website “uidai.gov.in”.

NEED OF VID

When the Aadhar officially declared compulsory for every services, its security for personal data always questioned.
To make it full proof there are so many steps taken by government, but they all are not enough.
In this way a new step is VID.
In case of Aadhar number, there is an ecosystem of many services like bank, phone number etc are created around it. Due to which it is risky to share Aadhar number and details with telecom companies and other service providers.
But VID is safe to share with these service providers because it carries only name, address and gender. And the best thing in this, is that you can change it any time from UIDAI website (uidai.gov.in).

HOW TO GENERATE VID

Open “uidai.gov.in” website.
Click on “Virtual ID (VID) Generation”.
Enter your 12-digit Aadhar number and security code.

Press “send OTP”.

There will an OTP received on your mobile number, which is linked with your aadhar number.

"ENTER OTP”.
Click on “Generate VID”.

DEAD LINE

The initial dead line for service providers was 31 May, which UIDAI extended. Agencies have been given a grace period until 31 August 2018 to migrate to VID and VID token using software [Auth API 2.5 and e-KYC API 2.5] that support VID system.
However the telecom and e-sign companies which may not have implemented the VID system from 1st July shall be charged 0.20 rupee for every transaction. But all these fee will be waved off to companies if they full migrate to VID upto 31 July.

CLASSIFICATION OF AGENCIES/ COMPANIES

UIDAI categories telecom operators and e-sign providers as ‘local’ Authentication Agencies (AUAs). Local AUAs can use only VID for verification, while global AUAs can ask for the actual 12- digit Aadhar number. Banks fall in this category.

What is Nebula. Images of some nebula by Hubble

A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form. For this reason, some nebulae are called "star nurseries." How do stars form in a nebula? Nebulae are made of dust and gases—mostly hydrogen and helium. The dust and gases in a nebula are very spread out, but gravity can slowly begin to pull together clumps of dust and gas. As these clumps get bigger and bigger, their gravity gets stronger and stronger. Eventually, the clump of dust and gas gets so big that it collapses from its own gravity. The collapse causes the material at the center of the cloud to heat up-and this hot core is the beginning of a star. Some of the most amazing nebula pictured by Hubble in Milky Way Galaxy The Eagle Nebula’s Pillars of Creation (M 16, Messier 16) The dust and gas in the pi

STARS GOING OUT OF CONTROL

Stars Gone Haywire. As nuclear fusion engines, most stars live placid lives for hundreds of millions to billions of years. But near the end of their lives they can turn into crazy whirligigs, puffing off shells and jets of hot gas. Thanks to Hubble which give us a chance to view these beautiful stars. The Butterfly Nebula Imagine a lawn sprinkler spinning wildly, tossing out two S-shaped streams. At first it appears chaotic, but if you stare for a while, you can trace its patterns. The same S-shape is present in the Butterfly Nebula, except in this case it is not water in the air, but gas blown out at high speed by a star. The S-shape directly traces the most recent ejections from the central region, since the collisions within the nebula are particularly violent in these specific regions of NGC 6302. "This iron emission is a sensitive tracer of energetic collisions between slower winds and fast winds from the stars. It's commonly observed in supernova remnants and active gala

WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE

In April, NASA created a big announcement that they captured first image of black hole. BUT WHAT IS A BLACK HOLE It is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City. The result is a gravitational field so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Most famously, black holes were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which showed that when a massive star dies, it leaves behind a small, dense remnant core. If the core's mass is more than about three times the mass of the Sun, the equations showed, the force of gravity overwhelms all other forces and produces a black hole. HOW THEY ARE FORMED Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) If the total mass of the star is large e
