Milky way Galaxy consists of huge stars, planets, comets, etc... It was so big that the speed of light takes 1,00,000 years to travel across it. There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky way. The average distance between stars in the milky way galaxy is 20 million million miles. Scientists found that the the nearest star to us proxima centauri which could be 4.3 light years away.

The wattage of the Pulsating stars can be found by observing the time lapse between each dim and sparkling of a star. This method is used to measure the distances across the Milky way galaxy. There are tiny galaxies (smudges) which appear to be smaller, even if we use huge telescopes to view them. Astronomers can find out the approximate distance to these galaxies by watching for the supernovae.

The biologist J.B.S Haldene once observed “The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose; it is queerer than we can suppose”. Carl Sagan estimated the probable number of planets in the universe at large to be 10 billion trillion and he further says “If we are randomly inserted into the universe, the chances that you would be on or near a planet would be less than one in a billion trillion trillion”.

Long long ago, around 13.7 billion years ago there happened a moment of creation at time t=0, known as the Big Bang. It all started with a bang from a singularity which was smaller than a sub atomic particle that had no dimensions. This glorious moment of “Big Bang” wasn't any sort of explosion (or bang) as the name suggests, but a swift expansion of space and time. It can be assumed as the air filling a balloon, and the balloon starts to expand.
In simple terms, the theory of Big Bang states that as the universe is expanding and it could be more denser in the past. Hence in the very beginning it should be a point mass of infinite density.

Genome Sequencing provides the most comprehensive collection of an individual's genetic variation .We all have the same 30,000 genes in every DNA strand but we all have somespelling mistakes in some of the genes compared to one another. DNA resembles a long, twisty ladder formed by two strands of genetic material that connect to create what’s called a “double helix.” Each rung of the ladder joins together a pair of molecules called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A always teams up with T, and C always pairs with G. Slight variations in the order of these pairs are what make a person unique. Some variations cause disease, and some don’t.

Save lives and Enhance your quality of life by knowing your DNA: The effectiveness of heuristic method of medical treatment based on available diagnostic procedures can be enhanced in its effectiveness by making it more personalized through decoding of human genome at individual level. With the advances in genome sequencing, now every patient can carry his report of their genome and doctors may find it useful in diagnosis and improving prognosis if genetic reasons for the disease can be identified and the treatment is given accordingly.

It is Your Story; Our Story and the Human Story. Before knowing about genome sequencing, let's have a look at what actually a genome is. Genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. Every organism has a genome that contains all of the biological information needed to build and maintain a living example of that organism. The biological information contained in a genome is encoded in its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and is divided into discrete units called genes. Human genome for example, consists of 3 Billion base pairs (AT and GC) which are arranged in a sequence. The human genome has 46 Chromosomes consisting of 30,000 genes.
