Atacama in Chile is the driest and oldest desert in the world.It covers an area of 1.05 million square kilometers near the Pacific Ocean. Apart from the polar regions, Atacama has the lowest rainfall on earth. The Atacama Desert is used by many space agencies, including NASA, to study the operation of Mars and lunar…
It’s not about anything else, it’s about an asteroid named ‘2003 SD220’ (2003 SD220). The asteroid was found 18 million miles away from Earth. This distance is seven times the distance between the earth and the moon. NASA compares the shape of the rock to a hippopotamus moving along a river. In 2018, the asteroid…
The scientific community is looking for a way to divert the asteroids that are targeting the Earth. As part of this, a defense system developed by NASA is preparing for its first test. The defense system is designed to crash into a spacecraft and change its direction. The test, scheduled for the 23rd of this…
Scientists predict that an asteroid the size of Burj Khalifa will pass close to Earth by mid-December. Named 163899, the asteroid is about 791 meters in diameter and about two kilometers long. Burj Khalifa is the tallest man-made structure on earth. However, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has previously observed that the asteroid could…
The main attraction of comets is their shiny long tail. Most of a comet will be frozen ice. This frozen part, about a kilometer in size, is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains ice, dust, and frozen gases. As the comet approaches the Sun, the heat causes the ice to evaporate directly. At the same…
The region known as Trans Neptune Objects is the darkest region outside Neptune in the Solar System. It is 450 crore km away from the Sun. It covers an area of 2200 crore km. Pluto, discovered by Clyde Omberg in 1930, is the largest mass ever found in the region. Some time ago, Pluto was…
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft has been launched to study asteroids known as the remains of the Solar System. Lucy set out to target asteroid clusters located in Jupiter’s orbit. The Atlas-5 rocket was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Saturday, October 16 at 3.03 Indian time. The spacecraft will be explored…
Discovered the fastest asteroid in the Solar System.The Chilean Dark Energy Camera (DECam) has detected another asteroid, AJ193, which orbits at 94,000 kilometers per hour and completes its orbit in just 113 days, just days after it crossed Earth. The runner was first spotted by scientists on August 13. Named 2021 PH27, the asteroid orbits…
Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in at least two places. The last such was 113 years ago. The meteorite disaster known as the Tunguska event occurred on June 30, 1908. The asteroid exploded 5-8 km above the Earth’s in the Tunguska forest in central Siberia, Russia, and exploded about 2,000 square kilometers, eroding…
The first spacecraft to launch our solar system had a template with information about the Earth and man … Such a template was included thinking that any Intelligent life might find it. Lucy, which launched yesterday, also included a similar template.But it was just that I could not address another Alien life. Lucy’s template is…
