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...

- Amazing exploration of NASA's Perseverance rover - Rocks and pebbles found at Castel Henlez, near Jezero Ulcakund, must have been washed up by stormy river floods in the past. Washington/Mumbai: The mysteries and wonders of our solar system, including the infinite universe, are also being discovered. Earth's neighbor and the red planet of the Solar System, Mars, has strong evidence of past flowing water. The Perseverance rover of the American space research organization National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is researching on Mars, has found strong evidence of water flowing on the surface of Mars in the past, i.e. millions of years ago. Evidence has been found. Now, based on all these evidences, there is also a strong indication that if there was flowing water on this red planet in the past, there must have been a phase of life there.
