Box Office: 'Avengers: Endgame' Vs. 'Avatar' Is Too Close To Call    [ just 2000 crores behind]

Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame earned another $1.911 million (-4% from Wednesday) to end its fourth week with $781.337 million in North America alone. It’ll probably earn just over/under the $22.4 million earned by Infinity War over its Memorial Day Fri-Mon frame last year. That will be just enough to push it past $800 million and possibly past $803.5 million. That arbitrary milestone will put it past adjusted-for-inflation totals of Raiders of the Lost Ark ($797 million adjusted, counting the reissues), The Sting ($803.1 million adjusted) and The Lion King ($803.3 million, counting the 2011 3-D reissue) for 19th place on that list.

Avengers Endgame vs Avatar: Here’s how much Marvel film needs to make to become number 1 of all time

After three weekends, Avengers: Endgame has emerged as the second highest grossing film of all time worldwide. The race will be extremely close, and here’s how much it needs to make to become number one.

Avengers: Endgame is slowing down at the international box office, thanks to a front-loaded opening and the arrival of Pokemon Detective Pikachu. But it’s now within touching distance of usurping James Cameron’s Avatar’s crown as the highest grossing film of all time.
With an additional $165 million worldwide, the Marvel superhero epic is now just $302 million (Rs 2000 crore) behind Avatar, whose worldwide total stands at $2.7 billion. But Endgame registered a higher than expected drop at the US box office. Its 57% drop in the third weekend is bigger than Captain America: Civil War (54%) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (50%), according to Forbes, and Avengers: Infinity War (45%). It is now the third highest grossing film of all time domestically, trailing Star Wars: The Force Awakens (whose $900 million plus record it will not eclipse) and Avatar (which is just $37 million ahead).
Forbes predicts that the film will conclude its domestic run with around $850 million, even if it continues dropping on the higher side of expectations. Unadjusted for inflation, however, the film is at the number 24 spot in the US.

GOOGLE+ hoa hamesa ke liye bnnd , google shut down the google +

Google+ is no longer available for consumer (personal) and brand accounts                         so Its a very sad news for us that google+ is no longer as the social media on their platform       

From all of us on the Google+ team,
thank you for making Google+ such a special place.

What happened to Google+?

In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019.Other Google products (such as Gmail, Google Photos, Google Drive and YouTube) were not shut down as part of the consumer Google+ shutdown and you can continue using these products. The Google Account that you use to sign in to these services will remain. Please note that photos and videos already backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted. Learn more

What happened to my Google+ content?

We are in the process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts and Google+ pages. This process will take a few months to complete and content may remain during this period. In the meantime, if you previously created content on Google+, you may be able to download and save your remaining Google+ content and delete your Google+ profile. You may also be able to view and delete your remaining Google+ activity.

If I also use Google+ with my G Suite account, at work or at school, for example, how will I be affected?

first ever pic of black hole

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.

It measures 40 billion km across - three million times the size of the Earth - and has been described by scientists as "a monster".
The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.
Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight linked telescopes.
Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.
"What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System," he said

"It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in theUniverse."                 expected photo of first ever black hole

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light can not get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.

Because no light can get out, people can't see black holes. They are invisible. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently than other stars.


How Big Are Black Holes?
Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or "stuff," in an object.

Another kind of black hole is called "stellar." Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many, many stellar mass black holes in Earth's galaxy. Earth's galaxy is called the Milky Way.

The largest black holes are called "supermassive." These black holes have masses that are more than 1 million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is called Sagittarius A. It has a mass equal to about 4 million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.
