Look carefully at the adjacent screenshots. It shows the condition of Bakhmat City and its surroundings in war-torn Ukraine. The pink part shows how Russian forces gradually besieged and captured Bakhmat City, Ukraine . These screenshots are actually an example of how technology is being used in warfare today , but it also gives us a chance to dig a little deeper into the interesting concept of ' timelapse maps ' !

Talking about these screenshots, after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the Russian forces started rampaging the city to capture Bakhmat City in Ukraine. See the status difference between the three dates in the screenshot. In the first screenshot, the city is being invaded from only one side. While in the second screenshot, the Russian forces have surrounded the city from three sides and have occupied that part. The third screenshot is from April 18 when Russian forces took full control of the city.

' Institute for the Study of War ' (https://www.understandingwar.org/) based in Washington City, USA An organization called has been creating a timelapse map of various parts of Ukraine since Russia invaded Ukraine. With the help of these maps, one can get a clear picture of how the situation is changing in the war!

You must know about timelapse videos. In this type of video, long-term changes in a subject are captured in video form. And then the speed of that video is increased significantly and it is played. For example, in the early morning in the garden, we can see the whole process of a bud blossoming into a full flower in just half a minute as a timelapse video. Similarly, we can see the construction process of a skyscraper taking shape in a few months in a 5-7 minute timelapse video.

This is the same concept as a timelapse map , but it is often used to examine how different parts of the Earth have changed over time. In Google Earth Services, we can see - at a glance - how a section of the Sabarmati riverbank in Ahmedabad looked before the riverfront development and how it is now with the help of this technique. Similarly, a timelapse map can be seen of how a project of huge hotels and villas has developed along the seafront in Dubai. Timelapse maps also provide an opportunity to see how much forest cover is increasing or decreasing in different parts of the Earth.

If you are interested, do a little search on how to view typelapse maps in Google Earth on PC , Android or iPhone. A lot of new things to learn!

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 ...

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...

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 ...

Global warming: 28 trillion tons of ice melted on Earth in last 26 years

Image
London, Ta. 26 August 2020, Tuesday Over the years pollution and global warming have become major challenges to the world. Both of these are causing harmful changes in the Earth's atmosphere. 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...

Does moisture in the air prevent the spread of corona virus?

Image
New Delhi, 24, August, 2020, Monday The coronavirus vaccine is being researched along with the favorable weather conditions for its spread. The research team from India and Germany have noticed that the relative humidity in the air prevents the spread of the virus. The virus is less prevalent in humid places, especially compared to a dry house with AC. For this, the team reached this conclusion based on the evaluation of about 10 international researches. The team relied on investigations into new corona viruses such as H1N1 and MRS Cove. According to the report, moisture plays an important role in the spread of Covid-12 through air inside buildings. Humidity in public buildings is required to be 40% and maximum 60%. Doing so can reduce the risk of living with the virus. The shape of the droplets is important for the spread of the virus through the moisture in the air. The aerosol with the virus in the air for hours is important. The virus survives even when the aerosol falls from ...
