Researchers have expressed concern over the rapidly melting ice in the Himalayas. He blamed rising pollution and dust particles in Asia and Africa for melting the ice. Researchers have urged effective action in this direction. According to the discovery, the Aldibo effect is having a detrimental effect on the environment in the Himalayas. Dust flying for miles is leaving a widespread impact on the ice cycle in the Himalayan region. While the rapidly melting Himalayan ice is a matter of concern.

Glaciers are melting and merging into rivers which is one of the processes of melting ice. According to the discovery, about 700 million people in Southeast Asia depend on the Himalayan ice for fresh water. At that time, the major rivers of India and China, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, the Yangtze and the Hong, were very important in terms of fauna and human life, agriculture and ecology. It is worth mentioning that all these rivers also originate from the Himalayas. Researchers have said that this type of study is necessary to perform the analysis naturally because the ice in the area is melting so fast that it could be a sign of any major danger.

A previous study by NASA measured the level of dust, pollution and aerosols that had accumulated on the ice surface. The melting of Himalayan ice as a result of these dust particles is called the Albido effect. The albido effect increases the amount of carbon on the ice layer that absorbs light. This is the reason why people prefer to take a white car instead of a black one as this cuts off the heat.

In the same way, the sunshine falling on the pure and shining white snow of the Himalayas spreads far and wide in the sky, but due to the pollution and dust accumulating on the ice, the radiance of the sun falling on the ice is fading. This is because pollution, dust and aerosols absorb the rays emitted from sunlight. According to the findings, the amount of dust on the Himalayas is increasing day by day due to urbanization. Deforestation, agriculture and massive industrialization are major sources of dust and pollution.

Five decades after man's arrival, 'moon trip' difficult, 60 out of 146 missions fail

Image
India tried to land on the moon in 2019 which failed. In 2023, India's space agency ISRO successfully landed on the moon. India is the first country to successfully land on the South Pole of the Moon unscathed. This success of India is also big because so far a total of 146 lunar missions have been launched out of which 60 have failed. Only four countries made a soft landing on the lunar surface According to Dr. Gail Isles of RMIT University, Australia, the Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth where humans have set foot. It also makes sense to go there first as it is our closest object at about four kilometers away. Interestingly, only four countries have made a soft landing on the surface of the moon so far. On the other hand, its South Pole is still mysterious, where only India has been able to reach. So many countries have failed Even Russia, the first country to make a soft landing on the moon 60 years ago, recently failed to land Luna-25 on the moon's sout...

A cosmological app in the palm of your hand! An exciting event took place in space yesterday - a circular solar eclipse or say 'Ring of Fire' solar eclipses! The spread of the corona virus has disrupted daily life on Earth, but everything in space is moving at a steady pace! Yesterday's solar eclipse was the result of such a fixed, fixed, annual cycle of events! We all know that the various planets in our universe revolve around the immovable sun, these planets have their own satellites. The earth itself rotates on its axis, tilted slightly, and at the same time revolves around the sun. If we talk only about the earth, due to the orbit of the earth around the sun, the motion of the earth on its own axis and the orbit of the moon around the earth, various exciting astronomical events are created. One of them is this kind of annual annular solar eclipse. Such a solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line, all three on almost the same surfac...

Impact of global warming: The country's last 4,000-year-old iceberg also collapsed

Image
Toronto, Ta. 09 August 2020, Sunday Much of the final iceberg in Canada has collapsed due to warmer climates and rising global temperatures, turning it into vast iceberg islands. An iceberg is a floating piece of ice formed by the erosion of a glacier or glacier from the ground to the surface of the ocean. According to scientists, Canada's 4,000-year-old iceberg on the northwest corner of Ellesmere Island was the country's last intact iceberg by the end of July. Adrian White, an ice analyst at the Canadian Snow Service, found that 43 percent of the images taken by satellite were broken. He said this is an event around July 30 or July 31. White said the iceberg had broken into two huge icebergs as well as smaller ones, and that the iceberg had already begun to float. The largest glacier is about the size of Manhattan i.e. 55 square kilometers and this is 11.5 kilometers long. While its thickness is 230 to 260 feet. He said this is a huge, very large piece of ice.
