Saturn’s rings are warming the planet From finding water in glass beads from lunar soil samples to discovering a new shape All the latest news, discoveries and discoveries in the field of science science this week,
Saturn’s rings seem to be heating the planet’s atmosphere
astronomers have found That Saturn’s ring system is heating the planet’s upper atmosphere. Observations by the Hubble telescope, Cassini probe Voyager 1 and 2 with the International Ultraviolet Explorer mission showed a bright line of additional radiation, thought to be hot hydrogen from icy ring particles raining down on the planet’s atmosphere, heating it. It happens.
ISRO releases images of Earth captured by EOS-06 satellite
ISRO has released images of earth Captured by the EOS-06 satellite. The space agency said the images are a mosaic generated by ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Center (NRSC). EOS-06 is envisaged to observe ocean color data, sea surface temperature and wind vector data for use in oceanographic, climate and meteorological applications. The satellite also supports value added products like chlorophyll, SST and wind speed and potential fishing zones using land based geophysical parameters.
Intriguing Moon water source found in glass beads from impact
Glass beads formed during violent impacts from space rocks lunar surface Water has been found trapped inside, which scientists describe as a potential reservoir of this precious resource for future human activities on the Moon. Analyzing lunar soil samples obtained in 2020 during China’s robotic Chang’e-5 mission, scientists found that the glassy spheres created during the impact – the rock melted and cooled – contained solar radiation on the lunar surface within them. Water molecules were formed through the action of the wind. ,
Scientists observe piezoelectric effect in liquids for the first time
Scientists report for the first time Proof Piezoelectric effect in liquids. The effect has been known for 143 years and has only been observed in solids during this time. In the piezoelectric effect, an electric current develops when a body is squeezed. This effect was observed in pure 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide and 1-hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide – both ionic liquids (that is, liquids composed of ions rather than molecules) I went. room temperature.
a new form has been discovered
A group of four scientists have discovered a whole new shape Which has 13 sides and named it “cap”. It is also the first time that an ‘Einstein’ tile has been found, meaning that the shape can cover a plane without overlapping, leaving gaps or repeating patterns. The shape to make it is a polychaete with eight mite edges.
How is India doing on the Sustainable Development Goals?
India has been slipped In the global rank in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the last five years, the country has slipped down one more place since 2021. India’s rank has dropped from 116 to 121 worldwide since 2017. It now lags behind most of its neighbors: Bhutan (70), Sri Lanka (76), Nepal (98), and Bangladesh (104). Pakistan is the only other country in the subcontinent ranked behind India at 125. The rollback has been attributed to a drop in performance on 11 targets.
New study finds some Indian ancestry in genes of medieval Swahili people
A study of centuries-old DNA has revealed complex lineage of the Swahili people of coastal East Africa. In many of them more than half the genetic input traces to female ancestors from the east coast of Africa, while a significant contribution also came from Asia, with about 90% of the males coming from Persia – modern Iran – and 10% from India. . The researchers examined the DNA of 80 people from five sites in Kenya and Tanzania dating from about AD 1250 to 1800. The study shows how a cosmopolitan and prosperous medieval civilization emerged, largely thanks to women from Africa and men from Persia and India.
New study suggests T. rex and kin had lips
T. rex and its relatives almost certainly had dinosaurs equal to the lips – A new discovery by scientists that challenges the popular portrayal of these predators as big nasty teeth popping out of their mouths. The researchers found three lines of evidence – the anatomy of the skull and jaws in the group called theropods that included all meat-eating dinosaurs, their tooth wear patterns and the relationship between tooth size to skull size – all of which had lips. Indicated presence- like structures
