Chandrayaan 3: To test and prepare for successful landing, ISRO to recreate lunar craters in village near Bangalore

Image
The Indian Space Research Organisation is planning on creating replicas of the craters on the moon in a small village called Ullarthi Kavalu, Challakere, located around 215 km from Bengaluru city. The work to re-create these artificial craters will begin later this year, with the agency already having sent out tenders seeking companies that can work on the project. A source told Times of India , "We’ve already called for tenders and the process of identifying a firm for all the civil works will be complete by month-end or early September. The craters will be created in our Challakere campus." The project will cost at least Rs 24.2 lakhs, the source added. The craters will be about 10 metres in diameter and three metres deep, a second source added. Why will these specially-built craters come in handy, one might ask. The craters are meant to simulate the moon's surface, and gives the Chandrayaan 3 landing module some room to practice its descent and landing in a simula

Criminals profiteering off plastic waste, adding to polluting by burning them instead of recycling: Interpol report

Image
Criminal networks are profiting from an "overwhelming" surge in plastic waste being shipped from rich countries to Asia and stoking pollution by burning and dumping waste that was supposed to be recycled, a report by Interpol said Thursday. Plastic consumption has exploded in the last decade, with some 360 million metric tons of waste generated just in 2018, mainly by wealthier nations, Interpol said. At least 8 million tons of plastic are thought to end up in oceans every year. Some countries have imposed recycling targets, rising above 30 percent in Europe, and the report said this had helped drive a lucrative market for used plastic that is projected to reach $50.36 billion by 2022. But it has also spurred unscrupulous operators to cash in on an industry that is difficult to police, Interpol said, adding there was an "urgent" need to identify how criminals were exploiting loopholes in regulation. The France-based intergovernmental crime-fighting agency said

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes a dig at Apple's App Store policy, says it charges 'monopoly rents'

Image
At a company-wide meeting last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg accused Apple of a "stranglehold" on apps on the  App Store . Zuckerberg added that the company charges "monopoly rents" from apps. Apple has "this unique stranglehold as a gatekeeper on what gets on phones," said Zuckerberg. This was first reported by  BuzzFeed News . When asked about Apple restricting gaming apps, the Facebook CEO said that Apple charges "monopoly rents", thereby blocking innovation and competition through the App Store . This comes amid accusations of anticompetitive behaviour on Apple. Developers have said that Apple's charge of 30 percent commission makes it hard to price their offerings competitively. The issue of Apple's alleged anticompetitive behaviour was recently highlighted after Fortnite maker Epic Games violated Apple's App Store guidelines by trying to bypass its in-app payment system. Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store and

Studying space rocks, scientists find that the Earth has always had water since it formation

Image
Water covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface and is crucial to life as we know it, but how it got here has been a longstanding scientific debate. The puzzle was a step closer to being solved Thursday after a French team reported in the journal Science they had identified which space rocks were responsible, and suggested our planet has been wet ever since it formed. Water covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface . Image credit: Earth Cosmochemist Laurette Piani, who led the research, told AFP the findings contradicted the prevalent theory that water was brought to an initially dry Earth by far-reaching comets or asteroids. According to early models for how the Solar System came to be, the large disks of gas and dust that swirled around the Sun and eventually formed the inner planets were too hot to sustain ice. This would explain the barren conditions on Mercury, Venus and Mars — but not our blue planet, with its vast oceans, humid atmosphere and well-hydrated geology

Space debris detected in broad daylight for the first time using a powerful laser instrument

Image
A team of researchers was able to detect space debris in broad daylight for the first time. The distance to the object was determined by scientists of University of Bern using a geodetic laser. The discovery was made on 24 June 2020 at the Swiss Optical Ground Station and Geodynamics Observatory Zimmerwald. Scientists measured the distance from the ground to the debris using a satellite laser. Most of the space debris in orbit can be found within 2,000 km of Earth's surface. Within this altitude, the amount of debris varies considerably depending on which part of the low-Earth orbit you look. The highest concentrations is found between 800-850 km,  according to NASA . Speaking of the method used to locate the debris, Professor Thomas Schildknecht, head of the Zimmerwald Observatory and deputy director of the Astronomical Institute at the University of Bern, said that the observatory has been studying similar distance measurements for years but only a handful of "observatorie

Climate change doubles the number of low-oxygen zones in Danish seas in a year

Image
The area of Danish seas affected by low oxygen levels — a problem triggered by climate change — has doubled in the space of a year, according to a university report published Friday. Lack of oxygen in the sea can have grave consequences for the survival of plants, animals and fish. In the waters of Denmark's exclusive maritime zone, "the total area affected by oxygen depletion was... about 3,300 square kilometres" (1,300 square miles) in August, Aarhus University's National Centre for Energy and Climate (DCE) found, "twice as high as in 2019". The Danish seas suffered from high levels of runoff from rivers at the beginning of the year, increasing the amount of organic matter and nutrients. It said the problem was "severe" in around a third of the area. The area suffered from high levels of runoff from rivers at the beginning of the year, increasing the amount of organic matter and nutrients, the study found, along with "high temperature

COVID-19 asymptomatics: Why some people contract and recover from a SARS-CoV-2 infection unscathed

Image
One of the  reasons Covid-19 has spread so swiftly around the globe is that for the first days after infection, people feel healthy. Instead of staying home in bed, they may be out and about, unknowingly passing the virus along. But in addition to these pre-symptomatic patients, the relentless silent spread of this pandemic is also facilitated by a more mysterious group of people: the so-called asymptomatics. According to various estimates, between  20  and  45 percent  of the people who get Covid-19 — and possibly  more , according to a recent study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — sail through a coronavirus infection without realizing they ever had it. No fever or chills. No loss of smell or taste. No breathing difficulties. They don’t feel a thing. Asymptomatic cases are not unique to Covid-19. They occur with the regular flu, and probably also featured in the 1918 pandemic, according to epidemiologist Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London. But scientists a

Quantum state: Astronauts create 'exotic' fifth state of matter on the International Space Station

Image
Astronauts on board the International Space Station have managed to create an 'exotic matter' by using the microgravity of space. The study saw researchers generate the fifth state of matter, which is also known as Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). These are created when a gas of bosons is cooled down nearly to absolute zero. According to a report in The Independent , at these extreme temperatures, matter begins to behave oddly and atoms become a single entity showing quantum properties. Plasma filaments in a Nikola Tesla style plasma lamp. representational Image. Image credit: Wikipedia The report mentions that scientists have always hoped to use the Bose-Einstein condensates to gain insight into quantum mechanics, but gravity has always been a deterring factor. This led researchers to send equipment known as the Cold Atom Lab to the International Space Station.

SpaceX launches the first south-bound rocket from Florida in decades

Image
This evening, SpaceX launched another rocket from Florida, but this vehicle took a very different kind of path than most flights from the East Coast. Rather than head eastward after launch as most Florida missions do, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket headed south after liftoff, skirting over Florida’s southeast coast and heading over Cuba. That’s because this mission was headed to what is known as a polar orbit — a path that runs mostly north-to-south over the Earth’s poles. It’s a type of mission you don’t normally see taking place from Florida. In fact, this will be the first time since 1969 that a rocket taking off from Florida heads southward. Up until now, most polar launches in the US have taken place from the southern coast of California.... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts https://ift.tt/3gJBluO
