India’s Successful Moon Mission (Chandrayaan-3)

There was a time when the moon used to be an elusive dream to all of us. Gradually, with the advancement of science and technology, it has become easy indeed to reach the lunar surface. Likewise, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) developed a number of missions to explore the moon. Broadly speaking, Chandrayaan-3 is the third mission in the series of the Chandrayaan programme. The mission of Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July 2023. It comprises Vikram, a lunar lander, and Pragyan, a lunar rover. Sometimes, it is said that Chandrayaan-2 in 2019 paved the way of Chandrayaan-3. As per the latest update, a couple of months and nine days have elapsed till date. Its launch mass weighs 3900 kg. The landing site of the spacecraft is named Shiv Shakti Point. It is very positive and interesting to note that, in the mission of Chandrayaan-3, the female scientists play a very significant role. Apart from that, 23 August has been declared to be celebrated as the National Space Day to commemorate the fruitful landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the moon. At last, it must be mentioned that such an achievement glorifies our country and brightens her name in the annals of global success.

India’s Mission to the Sun (Aditya-L1)

Who knew that, with the continuous progress in science and technology, one day, the human beings would be able to observe the sun, the big ball of fire? That nothing can be impossible has already been proved. Broadly speaking, India’s trip to the land of the sun is truly unforgettable. Aditya-L1 is a coronagraphy spacecraft. With the purpose of studying the solar atmosphere, this first Indian mission was designed as well as developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and a few other Indian research institutions as well. The duration of the mission is supposedly 5.2 years, as planned by the operators. However, on the basis of the information updated till today, a few days have elapsed. Its launch mass weighs 1,475 kg while the payload mass weighs 244 kg. It was the second of September in 2023 when the mission was launched. This project has been directed by Nigar Shaji. Ten days after the fruitful landing of Chandrayaan-3, the latest moon mission by the ISRO, Aditya-L1 adds another feather to the cap of India. It is such a mission that glorifies the name of our country to the utmost.

Our Family

It sounds really amazing while talking about our families, doesn’t it? Hence, we do feel nostalgic as well as reflective in such cases. Well, still, we are not supposed to think only of the “domestic walls” that sometimes try to narrow and barricade the ecstasy.

Such thoughts lift our mood up time and again. We become full of energy, full of enthusiasm and full of spontaneous life force. It feels exciting to take a glance, it sounds mellifluous to walk down the memory lane to listen to the bygone melodious moments.

Wait! Don’t get too serious, please! Let us all keep in mind that ‘family’ is not synonymous to ‘memory’ all along the way. All of us are so excited about speaking of our families that sometimes we overlook the fact that the periphery of ‘family’ is extended far and wide.

Everything relies upon how we look at the world, how we treat people, how we love trees, animals, birds and each particle of this cosmos. Remember, we are not confined to the four walls; let’s spread our wings, because the world—both inside and outside—is waiting for you, waiting for me, yes, waiting for each and every member of the universal family.

Global Warming

The expression ‘global warming’ is indeed a widely acclaimed and an excessively discussed—somewhat clichéd—topic nowadays. Even though it is a matter of grave concern, the same is, at the same time, being made just a matter of discussion, time and again, but not a matter of prevention because of our lack of executing and activating all our preventive plans regarding this notion.

Global warming is an ill effect of the increasing pollution and, what is more, of our negligence to protect our environment. Do we abide by the rules properly? Well, come on! It is not a matter for us to abide by the dry rules only; instead, we ourselves must arouse our awareness from our within so that we can take proper steps to protect the earth, utilising our own conscience and our own discretion.

However, the expression ‘global warming’ refers to the gradual increase of the heat on the surface of the earth. The continuous heat gets stored more and more. In addition to that, the planet absorbs heat anew each and every day. The ground on the earth, thus, becomes intolerable and blazing like an all-swallowing monster.

Well, there must be some reasons behind such an ill effect. The continuous emission of poisonous gases, like carbon dioxide, methane, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and so on and so forth, adds a lot of curses to the earth by having been one of the major reasons of global warming. The Greenhouse Gases, like CFC, methane and others, turn the situation even worse.

Who knew that such practices would be one of the most vital causes to oust us in some way or the other? Yes, it is we who have dug our own graves. The level of the marine water is getting higher and higher relentlessly. The variety of animals and birds is waning away. Many of them have become even extinct. The earth is turning into a ball of fire day by day. Well, all will revert to us at the end of the day.

The heat will not spare us at all. We cannot undo these, after all. However, we can stop our ill deeds; we can hold ourselves back from redoing these. The sooner we learn to love our earth in the proper way and act accordingly, the safer, or should we say, the less unsafe will we be in the long run.
