Ahmedabad. 24 October 2023 Tuesday

Along with the cooling of the country's climate, the influence of pollution has also started to increase. Air pollution has already started increasing in the Delhi NCR area, making breathing difficult. It's important to check the air quality before going outside, so you can plan your outdoor activities. For this, Google is bringing a new feature, with the help of which you can see the air quality index of your city in Google Discover.

Google is bringing a new feature

Google is reportedly planning to help users track air quality, which would be a great feature for people living in polluted areas, according to a Google report.

The platform is widely rolling out AQI cards in the Discover tab on both iOS and Android operating systems. Users will soon find this new tab in the Google app, which will be on the left side of the home screen. However, this feature is not yet available on tablets or Pixel Fold.

A new mini card will be available in the Discover feed

Google will add a mini card to the Google Discover feed on mobile devices, which will show real-time air quality updates for a local area. The company has also revamped the Customize menu and replaced the Material U Switch with a checkbox.

These features are available in the Discover tab

Google currently has three mini-cards in the Discover tab – Sports, Weather and Finance. The sports card shows live updates for the teams you follow, the weather card keeps you updated with current weather conditions, and the financial card tracks stock prices and market conditions for the industries you follow.

Now a fourth mini-card Air Quality (AQI) is being added to the Google Discover tab. Mini Tab allows users to quickly and easily check the air quality in their area. Users just have to tap on the AQI mini card to avail the facility. This will start a search for air quality data and display it in the Discover tab.

Currently this feature has appeared in some beta users. The report says that the Google app beta on Android (version 14.32) and iOS has a blank card that searches for air quality when tapped.

Ordeal before sending Gaganyaan! ISRO will do a big job on October 21, know the mission objective

Image
Gaganyaan Space: The TV-D1 test flight for Gaganyaan will be launched on October 21 at 7 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. However, after this test, three more test vehicle missions will be conducted. The test involves launching the crew module into outer space and recovering it from the Bay of Bengal after touchdown. This includes testing the Crew Escape System (CIS), which will be used to bring the crew back to Earth if the spacecraft encounters a problem. How important is the mission? This mission of ISRO is very different and special from all the missions till now. So far all the space missions carried out by India have been unmanned. But in this mission, man will be sent from earth to space through space shuttle. After spending seven days there, he will return to earth. This process is very dangerous that is why there are very few countries in the world that have successfully carried out this type of space mission. (Photo-Twitter/ ISRO) The first test w...

There are millions of galaxies and billions of stars in the universe. One of the planets around the solar system is Uranus, the American space agency NASA has shared a picture of Uranus. This image was taken from the James Webb Space Telescope. Uranus is the 7th planet of the solar system orbiting the Sun. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft passed through Uranus Pass in 1986, the camera imaged Uranus as a blue-green round light, but no surrounding ring of light. According to NASA, the image taken by James Webb of Uranus using infrared wavelengths shows that the planet has bright rings around it. A special feature of Uranus compared to other planets in the solar system is that it orbits at a 90 degree tilt on its axis. Hence any season on Uranus is extreme. Here in the polar region the sun is bright for years and then it is dark for as many years. This is...
