Information Technology
UNDERSTANDING OUR UNIVERSE
Sub-Group-01(A6)
The study or use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for
storing, retrieving, and sending information. It refers to
anything related to computing technology, such as networking,
hardware, software, the Internet, or the people that
work with these technologies.

WHAT IS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Ref- "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_technology">
We have all seen pictures of the lovely globe of Earth
as seen from space. We have also seen so many picture of our Universe including how
our Solar System works, rotation of Earth as well as
other planets of Solar System. Whatever we know
about the mysterious Universe is only because of
advanced technology.Sub-Group-01(A6)
ROLE OF IT IN UNDERSTANDING UNIVERSE
With the invention of Telescope we all came to know about
different question about our Universe like Is Earth is the
center of Universe, how far are the stars, are there other planets outside the Solar
System,...For the first time we came to
know that Earth rotate around the Sun only by the help of
Telescope. ALMA Telescope
TELESCOPESub-Group-01(A6)
The world's first artificial satellite, the Sputnik 1, was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. Since then, thousands of satellites have been launched into orbit
around the Earth.Satellites are used for a large number of purposes. Common types include military and civilian Earth observation satellites, communications
satellites, navigation satellites, weather satellites, and research satellites.

ROCKETS
A Rocket is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle that obtains thrust
from a rocket engine. Rockets are used as Satellites
lunch vehicle.It is also used as aircraft.
Astronauts go to space (eg. on Moon, Mars) by aircraft
which is a Rocket.Sub-Group-01(A6)
SUPERCOMPUTERS
A SuperComputer is a computer at the frontline of contemporary processing
capacity – particularly speed of calculation which can happen at
speeds of nanoseconds.These type of computers are placed in Space Research Stations(ISRO,NASA)
to calculate various data sent by satellites in fraction of seconds
Supercomputers placed at NASA

CONCLUSION
After completing our project we would conclude that technology helps us in so many ways to understand our universe.We can say that what we all know about
the Universe is because of technology.
