Is Social Networking Usage Contribute To Jealousy In Relationships?

The researchers from the University of Guelph (Ontario, Canada), surveyed young adults involving in romantic relationships and found that those who spent time on social networking sites such as Facebook may be exposed to information about their partners that makes them jealous, leading them to spent more time involved in online surveillance and to uncover even more jealousy-provoking information.

The researchers also describe a vicious cycle in which Facebook usage and feelings of jealousy become intertwined and have a negative influence on behavior and relationships. Some participants in the study described their increasing use of Facebook as "addictive". The research now explore this feedback loop and to determine whether a similar relationship between online social networking and jealousy toward a partner affect older adults as well.

India's Chandrayaan-1 Space Exploration - A New Era

This false-color image of Earth was taken from 200kms
above the lunar surface was taken by the Moon Mineralogy
Mapper, one of two NASA instruments onboard the Indian
Space Research Organization's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft.

The Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft was constructed, launched, and is operated by the Indian Space Research Organization. The spacecraft carry the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument. the instrument is a state-of-the- art imaging spectrometer designed to provide the first map of the entire lunar surface at high spatial and spectral resolution. Scientists will use this information to answer questions about the moon's origin and development and the evolution of terrestrial planets in the early solar system. Future astronauts will use it to locate resources, possibly including water, that can support exploration of the moon and beyond.
