A __________ planet is a planet that falls within a star’s habitable zone and is often specifically used to refer to planets that are earth sized.

The name stems from a children’s fairy tale which is often used to emphasize the importance of conditions being “just right” for survival, in this case being in the habitable zone and able to sustain liquid water.

The area around a star which can support such a planet is called the ___________ zone. Fill in the blanks with the name of the protagonist of the fairy tale.

X is an extracellular retinal protein, 1st described in 2008 by a Japanese research team headed by Shigeru Sato et al., and named after Y, a famous Japanese character.

The name of X was inspired by Y’s "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects”

Theme bonus indicated on slides, pounce for it !

1. [ relax ! ]

We all talk about GUT and stuff these days. But one of the very 1st unifications was initiated by X in 1820, when he, during a lecture, noticed the deflections in a compass needle due to a current carrying wire kept to its side.

Who are we talking about ?

2. [+25/-15]

In 1794, X wrote his first scientific paper which he called Extraordinary Facts Relating to the Vision of Colours, and now, colour blindness is often referred to as “X-ism”.

By 1802, he had published on heat conduction, gas expansion by heat, the properties of light, the aurora borealis, and meteorology.

But his seminal work came later, which can now be found in any elementary science textbook.

ID X.

3. [+20, -10]

Connect with a single word :

________ point refers to the temperature at which materials undergo transition between para & ferro magnetic regimes.

Intel _______ is the name given to the button-sized chip designed specifically for wearable devices.

Element number 96.

4. [+15/-10]

The image shows a breakthrough experiment by X.

He was initially an assistant to Galileo, and later embarked upon his own field of work.

You know the drill, Id X !

5. [+10/-5]

Very common question, huh ?Well, then gimme the scientific term for the limit it just crossed.

6. [+10 / no negatives ! ]

Due to the hindrance caused to his concentration & work, who or what did Alexander Graham Bell, at all times, absolutely refuse to have in his study?
