Just imagine, you are looking at the stars in the sky and suddenly you see something like a huge rock coming towards the earth. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie but could be reality. An asteroid moving from space towards Earth has increased the worry of scientists. The 370-meter diameter asteroid 99942 F Offor is also called the God of Destruction. It has been given this name after the Egyptian god. If it hits the Earth, how devastating would its impact be and when did something like this happen before which shook the Earth? Asteroids are considered to be broken pieces of a planet’s surface. Asteroid Offor was first discovered in 2004 and since then it has been rushing towards Earth at a height of 32000 kilometers. Before this, no asteroid has come so close to the Earth. ISRO scientists are worried about this asteroid’s size because it is estimated that it could hit the USA’s largest aircraft carrier Gerald R. It is bigger than Ford and USA’s Stadium. Its diameter is between 340 to 540 meters. Some studies also say that in 2019 it will only pass by the Earth and will not collide. According to ISRO, if a meteorite larger than 300 meters hits the Earth, it can cause a big disaster and if a body bigger than this, i.e. 10 kilometers in diameter, hits the Earth, then it can cause a massive threat to life. But will we be able to save ourselves from the danger coming towards the Earth? In an interview,
ISRO and NASA scientists told us that our network’s Space Object Tracking and Analysis is constantly watching the F-office. ISRO’s new department Planetary Defense is engaged in this work. To deal with such dangers in the future, agencies of many countries including NASA and ISRO are preparing. NASA’s RAS, which recently created history by taking samples from a meteorite, is now heading toward the office. The European Space Agency is announcing to barrage of additional missions in 2018. Which will be called Ramsar i.e. Rapid Up Office Mission for Security and Safety. India can also join it but the question is how will the meteor be stopped. Do scientists have any solution? Like NASA’s Dent Mission, the spacecraft can be hit with a meteor and its direction can be told or its speed can be changed through a gravity tractor or its condition can also be changed by coming at a high speed, but all the solutions can cause great damage. On 5 February 2013, a 20-beat meteor fell in Lohan blast. 1500 people were injured in this collision and more than 100 buildings were damaged even before this in 1908, a 30-meter meteor fell in Tumsa of Russia, due to which 8 crore trees were destroyed, but the most destructive collision was around 6:30 when a meteor of 10 to 15 kilometers diameter fell in Mexico. It was so terrible that dinosaurs and 70% of the earth’s species were destroyed forever.
Will India join hands with China: Plan to generate electricity on the moon, what is the benefit to India from Russia’s mission
If someone says that electricity will be generated on the moon and for this India will work with China, then you might be surprised but it is true. In this mission of Russia, India has also expressed its desire to work with China. Russia has prepared a plan to build a nuclear power plant on the moon by the year 2035. What is this nuclear mission? Why does India want to be a part of it and is India playing the diplomacy card through this? We will know. According to Russian news agency Tash, after China, India has also shown keen interest in this project. The specialty of the project is that it will not be built by humans, everything will be in automatic mode in it. According to the report, it can be built in robotic mode. However, Russia and China announced in 2021 that they would jointly build a base on the moon. This power plant will supply energy to this base to be built on the moon.
It will be operational between the years 2035 and 2045. This base has been named ILRS i.e. International Lunar Reconnaissance Centre. It has been named as Research Station but what is the reason behind China’s involvement in it? Russia’s nuclear energy firm Ros Storm is working on this project. China’s base will also get electricity from this plant. Apart from this, the dependency of solar energy on the moon will also be reduced. According to the initial details of the project, it will be built on a small scale and it will produce half a megawatt of energy. After the power plant is ready, astronauts will be able to get help when there is a night on the moon for 14 days. Solar panels remain inactive. It will also be very important for research on the surface of the moon and human presence for a long time. But why does India want to be involved in this project? According to experts, it is clear from India’s interest that it is planning towards the moon again. India’s interesting Chandrayaan-3 mission made India the first country in the world to soft land on the South Pole of the Moon. At the aforementioned time, India is additionally planning to body its aboriginal Indian amplitude station BUS by the year 2035. In 2023, India has also signed the Artemis Agreement. Now India’s space agency ISRO will be able to build a space station by the year 2040. India is preparing to send humans to the surface of the moon. In such a situation, if India works with Russia on this nuclear project, it will get help in its basic mission and this plant can also meet India’s energy needs there. According to experts, India is also taking a step forward in terms of diplomacy. Although the Indian government or ISRO has not given any official statement on this, there are many factors for India to collaborate with Russia and China on this mission, such as diplomatic relations, financial investment, and technical expertise. There may be tension with China on the border, but India will have to overcome the differences to work on the lunar nuclear project. This is not only likely to improve relations with China, but India can also get a lot of benefits in its space mission in the future.
What are the laws related to abortion in America? How did abortion become a big issue in the Trump-Harris debate? Know.
In the Kamala Harris debate on Donald Trump, there was a big discussion about abortion rights. What are abortion rights? Let us understand this In 1973, the US Supreme Court gave women the appropriate to abortion. While giving the verdict in the R vs Ved case, the Supreme Court said that a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. The Supreme Court had given all women the right to abortion up to 24 weeks of pregnancy, but in June 2 years ago, the Supreme Court overturned the decision. The Supreme Court had made it clear that different states of America can make laws regarding abortion. After this, many states have banned abortion either completely or partially. According to the New York Times, there are 22 states in America where abortion is either completely banned or partially. 14 states of America like Alabama have a complete ban on abortion, while there are 8 states where abortion is allowed up to a time limit, like the sixth week of pregnancy in Florida and Georgia. Abortion can be done for 15 weeks, while in the United States, women can get abortions done till 18 weeks. In 26 states of America like Alaska, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Washington, abortion is still legal.
