Do thousands of tons of dust come to Earth every year from space?


New York, September 6, 2021, Wednesday

Increasing air pollution on Earth causes millions of tons of waste to be released into the atmosphere, but it would be surprising to know that 300 tons of dust comes to Earth from space. Earth comets face thousands of tons of dust from other planets, according to research by a team of international scientists. Dust from the unknown world gives the impression of being a star when it passes through our atmosphere. Some of these fall to Earth in the form of microscopic meteorites. With the help of the French Polar Institute, CNRS, Paris Sackle University and the National Museum of Natural History have been researching this for years.


Due to the continuous movement in space, microscopic meteorites called micro meteorites continue to land on Earth. Dust particles from asteroids range in size from tens of millimeters to hundreds. Which passes through the atmosphere and reaches the surface of the earth. Over the past two decades, six expeditions have been conducted at the Franco Italian Concordia Station (Dom C), led by CNRS researcher Jean Dupret, to collect and analyze these micrometrics. Which is 1100 km off the coast of Adele Land in the center of Antarctica. Scientists have chosen this place because of the small amount of snow and soil dust.

The mission has collected enough dust particles from space between 20 and 300 micrometers in size. The space dust that comes to this place every year is similar to the extraterrestrial particles. About 90 percent of the dust particles come from comets and 40 percent from asteroids. Scientists believe that space dust could help explain how water and carbon atoms were delivered to Earth in the early days.

NASA will investigate pollution spreading from Earth into space

Image
Washington, Dt. 20 July 2022 Wednesday Each year, more than 1 billion metric tons of dust and sand are blown into the atmosphere by fast winds. Scientists know that dust affects the environment and climate, but they don't currently have enough data to determine what effect this has or what might happen in the future. For this recently SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has been launched at the International Space Station. Hereby NASA has sent the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation Device. Which will help the scientists in this matter. EMIT's state-of-the-art imaging spectrometer is built by the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. The spectrometer will measure more than a billion dust particles around the world over the course of a year. EMIT is going to do a lot of important work by going into space. This will identify the composition of mineral dust from arid regions of the Earth. Desert areas generate the most mineral dust, which is released ...

5G will be launched in the country from Gandhinagar: PM Modi will inaugurate

Image
Ahmedabad. 21 July 2022, Thursday The fifth generation (5G) services, which are capable of the fastest data transfer in mobile services, will be launched in Gujarat's capital Gandhinagar in the country. It is known that these services will be dedicated to the country by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will start on August 15 when the country is completing 75 years of independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to come to Gujarat after the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort and start the services. The auction of spectrum for 5G services in the country is set to begin this week and the Adani group has also shown interest in bidding in addition to Reliance Jio, Vodafone Idea and Airtel. However, Adani has announced that this spectrum purchase is only for providing enterprise services, so customers will only get services from three companies. Before the launch, testing of 5G services in Gujarat took place in Gandhinagar, Jamnagar and Vadodara. Tests were cond...

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...

NISAR mission: ISRO-NASA's joint space mission to combat climate change, know when the launch will take place

Image
NASA-ISRO radar mission: ISRO and NASA are currently working on a joint space mission, NISAR. This mission is an Earth-observation radar mission. It is being said that this radar mission could prove to be very important in combating climate change. This radar provides information on the impact of forests and wetlands on the global carbon cycle and how it is contributing to climate change. NASA gave important information Recently there has been an update regarding the launch of NISAR. This mission will be launched at the beginning of next year i.e. in 2024. This mission Our forests and wetlands are vital in combating climate change. The NISAR radar mission will be launched into Earth orbit to analyze Earth and glaciers every 12 days. This data will help scientists understand how important forests and wetlands are in regulating carbon in the environment. This information has been given by NASA. World's most expensive earth observation satellite This satellite is one that will se...

The rat meat tissue sent to the space station became stronger

Image
Washington, September 8, 2020, Tuesday As many as 40 black rats were sent to the space station in December last year to find out how astronauts go on long-term space missions to affect their muscles and body. Has become. The experiment was performed by a research team at the Jackson Laboratory in Connecticut. According to a study published in a science journal, the rats were not given any regular medication. In the non-gravitational position, muscle and bone mass decreased by 15%. Scientists also sent six genetically modified mice into space, which were considered to be Mighty Mice. Not only did these mighty rats lose weight but their muscles doubled. Eight normal rats that were given the medicine of mighty rats in space. They also developed a lot of muscle. The weight of these muscles was controlled by a protein. The Space X capsule brought back all 40 rats that had been parachuted into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. If some normal rats were given potent rats, th...

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.
