Samsung
Galaxy is a series of Android-powered mobile computing devices designed,
manufactured and marketed by Samsung Electronics. The product line includes the
Galaxy S series of high-end smartphones, the Galaxy Tab series of tablets, the
Galaxy Note series of tablets and phablets.
Amid rumours that Samsung Electronics Co Ltd. is rushing to launch its
Galaxy Note 5 phablet in late August, other rumours suggest that the South
Korean tech giant may also launch three new Galaxy S6 models this year: a Galaxy
S6 Edge Plus, a Galaxy S6 Plus, and a Galaxy S6 Mini.
That
is for mobile afflicted ~ a Galaxy is a
gravitationally bound system of stars, stellar remnants, interstellar gas and
dust, and dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxias,
literally "milky", a reference to the Milky Way. Examples of galaxies
range from dwarfs with just a few thousand (103) stars to giants with one hundred
trillion (1014) stars, each orbiting their galaxy's own center of mass. There
are approximately 170 billion (1.7 × 1011) galaxies in the observable universe.
The
2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala was the fifth year for FIFA's awards for the top
football players and coaches of the year. The awards were given out in Zürich
on 12 January 2015. Real Madrid and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo won the
FIFA Ballon d'Or as the World Player of the Year for a second consecutive time,
having won it previously last year. Cristiano
Ronaldo is a Portuguese professional
footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Real Madrid and is the
captain for the Portugal national team. In some ways, he is ‘outside the Universe !’
In
some ways, astronomers have their names
in the sky as they can name newly discovered objects in the
Universe – some are named after the finder, while some name them after their
favourites !
A group of scientists
has dubbed a recently discovered galaxy COSMOS Redshift 7, or CR7. That’s also
the nickname of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who wears No. 7 on his
jersey, and the inspiration for a Nike cleat dubbed CR7. The lead astronomer,
who hails from Ronaldo’s native Portugal, cited Ronaldo as inspiration for the
galaxy’s name, the European Southern Observatory said in a statement on Wednesday.It
was described as “an exceptionally rare object, by far the brightest galaxy
ever observed at this stage in the Universe.” The name is also a measure of the
galaxy’s place in terms of cosmic time.
That way, Cristiano
Ronaldo is becoming even bigger– the Ballon
D'Or winner has gone from mere football star, to an entire galaxy.Astronomers
have dubbed a newly discovered galaxy Cosmos Redshift 7 - or CR7 for short. CR7
has long been Cristiano Ronaldo's copyrighted nickname, adorning the former
Manchester United player's long line of products, including boots and men's
underwear.Ronaldo has previously released underwear called CR7. The group who first
sighted the collection of stars are led by David Sobral from the University of
Lisbon. Sobral claims to be a keen football fan and wanted to honor Cristiano
Ronaldo by naming the discovery after him.
Real Madrid Club de
Fútbol, commonly Real Madrid, is a professional football club based in
Madrid, Spain.Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the team has
traditionally worn a white home kit since. The word Real is Spanish for Royal
and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the
royal crown in the emblem. Real Madrid established itself as a major force in
both Spanish and European football during the 1950s. Real Madrid was recognised
as the FIFA Club of the 20th Centuryin Dec 2000 and named Best European Club of the 20th
