Google Products Alerts Get email automatically when there are new Google results for your search terms. We currently offer three types of alerts: News, Web, and News & Web. News Alert: email notification about new articles that appear in the top 10 results of your Google News search. Web Alert: email notification for new web pages that appear in the top 20 results for your Google web search. News & Web Alert: email notification when new articles related to your search term make it into the top 10 results for a Google News search, or the top 20 results for a Google web search. Use Alerts to monitor a developing news story, keep current on an industry or a competitor, track medical advances, sports teams, or celebrities. The frequency you select (daily, weekly, or as it happens) for your Alerts determines how often Google checks for new results, not necessarily how often you'll receive alerts. If you select "once a day," we'll check for new results once a day, which means you'll get a maximum of one email per day. If you choose the "as it happens," we'll check for new results continuously and send you an alert whenever we find a new result.

Current Affairs (Science and Technology) Our Milky Way in Midst of life crisis Planetary scientist say that our Milky way is in its mid life crisis as a result of which it will slow down its process of production of stars in the next billion years. As per the aeronautics the galaxies are classified under two categories namely- energetic blue galaxies and the lethargic red galaxies. The blue galaxies produce stars at a massive rate while the other one are slowly dying. But a team of scientist from the Swinburne University of Technology says that our Milky Way falls into neither of the two categories. It is in fact a green valley galaxy that lays half way between the blue galaxy and the red galaxy. This is the first time ever that scientists have compared both the galaxies with our Milky Way as the Astrophysical Journal reported. Though we are in our own galaxy and to determine its state was a tough job to accomplish was reported by the Astrophysical Journal.
