Fear of corona, asteroids also come out wearing 'masks', scientists surprised


Nainital, Ta. 30 April 2020, Thursday

A very large and potentially dangerous asteroid passed close to Earth on Wednesday and its images took scientists by surprise. Looking at the images of the asteroids, the scientists got the impression that they were wearing masks on the planet. However, that illusion was in fact caused by the lines formed in the small mountains and plains that came over it.

The asteroid passed at a speed of 19,000 km per hour on Wednesday afternoon, maintaining a safe distance from Earth. However, the scientists had already clarified that there was no danger from it and it was constantly being monitored. Scientists named it (52768) 1998 OR2 and on April 29 it passed closest to Earth.

According to Shashi Bhushan Pandey, a scientist at the Aryabhata Institute of Observatory Science and Research (ARIS), the asteroid that passed by on April 29 was relatively large and could have caused a disaster if it had collided with the Earth. Although it passed closest to Earth, it was at a distance of 6.3 million km, which is 16 times the average distance between the Earth and the Moon.

NASA placed it in the range of potentially dangerous asteroids. Such potentially dangerous asteroids pass close to Earth's orbit at a distance of less than 7.5 million km. According to this measure, it passed close to the earth at a distance of 12 lakh km less than that.

Orbiting the Sun between Earth and Mars in 1,344 days, the asteroid will now pass close to Earth again on May 18, 2031, but at that time it will pass a further 19 million km.

A small asteroid gave him company

Now in 2048 and 2062 It will pass farther but on April 16, 2079 it will pass very close to the Earth at a distance of only 1.8 million km and if for any reason it will wander, it will prove fatal to the Earth. Apart from this big asteroid, there is also a small asteroid that seemed to be giving him company. It passed around it a few thousand kilometers from Earth and scientists named it 2020 HS7.

Scientists reported that there was no danger to Earth from small asteroids. Small asteroids of this shape pass safely very close to the Earth every month. The 2020 HS7 had a diameter of four to six meters and even if such a small asteroid collided with the Earth, it would be destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere before it.

In a first in history, NASA lost contact with the ISS in a power outage, leaving scientists confused.

Image
This was the first time such a situation had occurred at NASA headquarters due to which NASA lost contact with the space station. As it turned out, the power went out at NASA's headquarters in Houston, although power failures are not uncommon in America. It is also a place from where scientific research is going on from all over the world. Because of this, the International Space Station lost contact with NASA and this was not a matter of one or two minutes but there was no contact with it for one and a half hours. This is the first time in the history of communication between NASA and the space station. This is the first time such an event has occurred in history The space station first became fully operational in 2009. Since then, this kind of situation has never happened. NASA has a power backup at its headquarters. There is a complete backup control system to communicate with the astronauts on the space station orbiting above 450 km. This contact was lost for 90 minutes Th...

The watch was worn by David Scott during the Apollo 12 mission in 191

Image
New York, July 20, 2021, Tuesday Astronomer David Scott wore a calligraphy watch during his Apollo 12 mission in 181. The watch returned from the moon with the scientist when it was auctioned in Boston for 1.5 million. The watch was accompanied by a letter from astronaut Dave Scott during the lunar mission stating that with the help of this watch on the moon we were taking care of our stock of oxygen, water and other necessities of life. This clock was used to follow the time of landing and moving on the moon. When astronaut Scott returned to Earth after a lunar orbit, NASA withdrew all of its equipment but the call clock was returned to Scott.

Habits to cultivate in work-from-home ...

Image
Ahmedabad. Wednesday, November 4, 2020 As the use of smartphones and laptops has increased in New Normal, it is important to ensure that there are no side effects on health. Thus, for a long time now, we have become addicted to smartphones. That means you have a phone in your hand even when you are watching TV. After the lockdown and the subsequent online teaching and work-from-home, everyone from students to family has found reasons (or excuses!) To spend more time on a smartphone or computer / laptop. Excessive use of a smartphone or computer can have many side effects. For the sake of this article, let's focus on the physical side effects and remedies derived by experts: If you want to use the smartphone for a long time, use the stand instead of holding it in your hand. The radiation and heat of the smartphone is definitely harmful. If you need to communicate more in the phone, make it a habit to use wired earphones. Of course this will prevent radiation from the phone but ...

The worst effects of global warming are being felt especially in the polar regions. Ice is melting due to global warming. Millions of years old glaciers are melting. How many icebergs have been completely destroyed. Over the past 26 years, 28 trillion tons of ice on Earth have melted. That means 28,000,000,000,000,000 kg of ice has been destroyed. The research was carried out by a team of British scientists. The team reports that 28 trillion tons of ice have been destroyed on Earth since 1994. For this research, the scientists have analyzed the satellite image, the snow details of the poles, the information about the snow on the mountains. It turned out that the ice was melting rapidly due to rising global temperatures. The scientists' findings are published in the journal Science, cal...

An app with a similar feature can be compared in Playstore

Image
Ahmedabad. 9 November 2020, Monday Whenever we go to Playstore to install a new app in a smartphone, we find many apps. Most people are confused about which apps to install from the unparalleled apps with almost identical features. Now the confusion will probably lessen. A new feature is coming to Playstore. Now when we find an app, in the listing of that app, there is a button to compare that app with other apps like it. Such a feature is now being seen in some well-known music players app. Using this feature we can know which app is easier to use and which app is possible to use offline. It looks like Google will show this kind of comparison from user reviews about that app. Currently such comparisons are very limited and it is also uncertain whether it will be possible to make such comparisons across all types of apps. for more details kindly go to https://ift.tt/3bgFIf3

Solar storms are rushing towards the earth at a speed of 16 lakh km per hour

Image
New Delhi, Dt.10.Jul.2021.Saturday The powerful solar storm generated on the surface of the sun is rushing towards the earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. The solar storm could collide with Earth at any time on Sunday or Monday. Scientists have warned that it could disrupt satellite signals, as well as affect aircraft flight, radio signal communication and the weather. According to a weather forecasting website, the storm, which originated in the Sun's atmosphere, could affect a part of the Earth's magnetic field, causing people living near the polar regions to see a rush at night. The US space agency NASA estimates that the wind generated by the solar storm is moving at a speed of 1.6 million kilometers per hour. It is possible that its speed may be much higher than estimated. As a result, atmospheric temperatures may rise outside the Earth, affecting satellites and disrupting GPS navigation, mobile phone signals and satellite TV. Increasing currents in ...
