NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has set its eyes on three asteroids who are likely to intersect Earth's orbit. All of these asteroids are hurtling through space towards the earth at a breathtaking speed of thousands of miles per hour.
A Hyderabad based company has come up with fire retardant that promises to protect the material from a fire in industrial as well as domestic scenario. The company, EssKay Laboratory, has developed Firolac, a material that protects the base material from not only fire but intense heat, moist conditions, action of acidic and basic materials and water. The material has to be coated on the surface one wants to protect from fire.
Asteroids are serious business. Last time a big one hit the earth, it wiped off dinosaurs. Two such astronomical giants are going to be in earth's neighbourhood this weekend. But NASA has said that Asteroid 2000 QW7 & Asteroid 2010 C01 are unlikely to hit earth and are expected to just pass by.
Even as serious attempts are being made by Indian space agency to establish communication link with its moon lander Vikram that crashed on to the lunar surface, a Senior Advisor in ISRO has explained in simple terms the landers planned operations.
All of us pray for a healthy life. We don't want to be bedridden in a hospital. But there comes a time when we have to visit hospital to care for our dear ones. At that time, falling sick yourself is the last thing you want. But in a building full of patients, there always are chances of getting exposed to disease causing agent like bacteria etc. But scientists are trying to find solution to this problem and they are making great progress as well.
India's second moon mission -- Chandrayaan-2 -- will make landing on the lunar surface on September 7. The moon lander 'Vikram' separated from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter on Monday. On Sunday, Chandrayaan-2 completed its fifth and final manoeuvre and achieved an orbit of 119km x 127km. Before landing on the Moon's South Pole, Chandrayaan-2 has two deorbit manoeuvres of Vikram Lander.
Astronomers have witnessed an asteroid changing its colour in a never-seen-before event. Asteroid 6478 Gault, sporting a comet-like dust trail, was seen changing its colour from red to blue...leaving scientists astonished, baffled and what not. This has happened for the first time.
The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), headquartered in Austria, is an independent international research institute that conducts research in climate change, energy security, population aging and sustainable development.
He said Cartosat-3 will be launched using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket.
Generating power from heat, for example, is attractive as there is a lot of heat that is created through human activities in industry, power plants, home appliances and automobiles where most of this heat is lost, they said.
In a massive feat, moon-bound Chandrayaan 2 has been successfully placed in the moon's orbit.
A massive thirty metre telescope is going to help scientist gaze at far corners of the universe and uncover the secrets it still withholds from us. Summit of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in Hawaii is the ideal location for the telescope as clear weather there is ideal to gaze deep into space.
