  Hi everyone! I am back with another article. So, welcome to the environmental issue series! This series will have a variety of topics focusing on environment and saving our earth for our future.  The Big Global Melt Yes, this is the major problem right now. The Earth is heating up and the glaciers and which are in the Arctic, Antarctic, and even in the Himalayas are melting down. What is the problem? If all the glaciers and icebergs are melting down the water will fill up the continents and our Earth will be covered with water and nothing will able to survive. We have to stop it. A Glacier; Credit: Wikimedia commons This Feb, Antarctica witnessed its hottest temperature on record, resulting in widespread melting of nearby glaciers. During this period, the images show drastic changes in just  nine days.  Then came the news that Antarctica's colossal Thwaites Glacier is melting fast. If the glacier were to collapse, It could lead to an increase in sea ...

Interesting News!!  NASA showing the H20 particles on the moon. Credit: NASA official NASA's SOFIA - Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy has confirmed for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the mini. This discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the Lunar surface, Not limited to cold, shadowed places.  This can also be proof that it will rain on the moon occasionally. And the presence of water may also be proof of how water originated on Earth. SOFIA has detected water molecules (H20) in Clavius crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the moon's southern hemisphere. The picture showing Clavius crater Credit: Wikimedia Commons Previous observations of the Moon’s surface detected some form of hydrogen but were unable to distinguish between water and its close chemical relative, hydroxyl (OH).  Data from this location is equal to a 12-ounce bottle of water - trapped in a cubic meter of soil, that is spread ac...

  Lonely Planet - PSO J318.5-22 Sounds interesting right? Hi! Everyone I am back with another post. So, what's a lonely planet? Can we live there? Will extraterrestrial use these planets as a base? Scroll down below! Planets in space usually revolve around a star, like the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. But one day, when looking for a murky, dim star ( these stars don't emit much light, It will be harder to find) a group of scientists stumbled upon a planet that was drifting alone in space. This lonely planet was aimlessly moving around space without a star to keep it warm or as a company! Why does the planet revolve around a warm star? Stay tuned for the next blog!  This planet also has the same characteristics as any other planet. In fact, It looks like our Jupiter's big sister! : What might have happened? Scientists believe that gravitational forces might have flung this planet away from its star, leaving it in the middle of nowhere with no company. ...

On July 30th, 2020, NASA launched a rocket that contained a rover called - Perseverance. It will explore mars and will give samples of the soil of the mars and bring it back to Earth so that the scientists can research.    NASA is also planning to send the first man on Mars, which is after the Artemis Mission - Launching the first woman and the next Man on the moon by 2024. (you will see it in my future posts) This would be the next step for Human mankind in the 21st century. QUICK FACTS ABOUT PERSEVERANCE Rover Name: Perseverance Mission: Mars 2020 Launched: July 30, 2020 Launch location: Cape Canerval, Air force station, Florida Landing: Feb 18, 2021 Landing site: Jezero Crater, Mars Mission duration: At least 1 year at mars (687 Earth days) So, the main job of this rover will seek a sign of Ancient life and collect rock samples and comes back to Earth. That's all for today's blog, Will be back with more facts and information. Bye! Raksita Rajagopal Peace wins:)  Credit...

O n Earth, water is the most precious. We are using it in our everyday lives.   But did any of you thought where water has been originated from? or When did the water come to our planet? or Did water came from space?  If you've thought like that, you've come to the right blog!. Today we are going to see How did Water originate on Earth? At first, scientists thought that the Water was present from the Early/ Baby Earth. But if the water was present during the volcanic eruptions, It must have been evaporated. In the modern period, Scientists are suggesting two ways that we might have got water:  By comets and asteroids (Rocky material) From the vast cloud of cloud and dust - Solar Nebula, formed along our sun. Earth's water is similar to the ones that are present in the asteroids. That's the one reason scientists are believing that an asteroid bombardment in the Early days of the solar system could have resulted in the origin of water on our planet. The ratio of deuter...
