The ailing planet

Today it is the day we witness the deteriorating health of the Earth because of human beings growing lust to exploit all it’s natural resources. Man is considered to be the most dangerous animal in this world according to a zoo in luaska.

The extensive exploitation by human beings for the survival and development, the Earth has lost almost all it’s vital and important resources. Dying rivers and polluted environment, forests, greenery and mountains, the Earth is now breathing hard for it’s survival and thus it is called an ailing planet. The looting and plundering of the natural resources should be controlled.

Delhi is the main example of a polluted city. The state of the Earth is very bad now, we can act and should not pollute the environment. We should keep the surrounding clean and pollution of air and water should be controlled. It is in 2020, the Earth is now facing an epidemic coronavirus. It is dangerous for the survival of the human beings.

It is predicted that billion years from now, the Earth’s surface will cause green house effect, heating the surface to melt. It is by this time the life on Earth shall be extinct. So otherwise like caste-ism, untouchability and bonded labour should be abolished by laws causing anguish to the human. The growing threats to the environment should be controlled or man should be ready to face the consequences.

Trees-a gift from nature

Trees – a resource of environment and nature.

A gift of Earth’s present and future.

Considered as next to god,

Now-a-days killed by knife and sword.

Loved by animals and children for their games,

Life of trees has been turned into fumes and flames.

There was a time when trees were loved and worshiped for it’s sanctity,

In today’s world ,on contrast ,trees have lost their

Entity.

In the Corona age, Trees have become precious,

Benefits of trees are various.

Shade, shelter, timber and fruits, are truly

the endowments of trees,

Truly, man has released,

the uses of forests and trees.

Afforestation has become mandatory,

Release of oxygen is normal and ordinary.

Love trees, as they cry when cut by sword,

Respect trees, grow trees and worship

Trees without any word.

Environmental pollution

There was a time when Earth was worshiped as Goddess and given respect with enthusiasm and austerity. The beautiful planet called as the blue planet was considered to be a planet which was known as mother giving way to life.

But now, astonishingly Earth is no more a pure planet and has become a place to dump waste. Material and a place to contaminate the water endangering the safety of living creatures.The discharge of chemicals into environment pollutes the Earth and renders the fields unproductive.Today mother Earth witnesses pollution which is assuming an alarming proportion day by day.

Many aftermath effects of deforestation, overpopulation,poverty,substandard living in slums,nuclear explosions etc. Can be observed in emerging of disease for example bronchitis,asthma,sore throat etc.Noxious fumes and gases emitted into atmosphere pollutes the air and give rise to diseases.Depletion of ozone layer is the latest effect of unnecessary emission of carbon monoxide.Heaps of uncovered garbage gives off foul smell and serve as breeding places for flies and mosquitoes.

Other instances of causes of environmental pollution is the emitting of smoke,noxious.

Fumes and gases into the atmosphere,pollute the air and give rise to many ailments.The effluents from the factories,which flow into the rivers, the Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide being discharged into air cause respiratory problems.

Afforestation and control of pollution through various steps can only tackle the menace of environmental crisis.

Mankind’s tryst with Mars in July 2020

It’s the monsoon season as the dark clouds with loads of rainy water surge upon northern India while you feel lounging in the living room with relief from the sweltering heat of past days. About thousands of miles away, on the west coast of the Atlantic, NASA is preparing to take on a journey down the space-miles to Mars as Mars nears to the earth in its orbit.


Perseverance as the Space vehicle is called will set out on a mission to study the planet Mars on 30th July. Perseverance will collect rock and soil samples of Martian surface in a bid to study the origins of life in the solar system, and the mission will try to lift the mystery from the impending question of whether there was life anywhere else in the solar system, besides the earth.

To know who we are and from where we have descended on the earth, it is worthwhile taking a trip to Mars. The landing site chosen by NASA called Jezero Crater speaks volume about the possibility of getting firsthand samples of the Martian rocks and soil, as the crater is thought to have fanned water in the distant past of Martian life.

Essentially we have here a launch vehicle that will carry the spacecraft outside of the earth’s gravitational pull, which in turn will fly to the Mars, and upon entering the Martian gravitational pull, the spacecraft will land the rover Perseverance on to the Martian surface.

The mission could be seen as a step in the direction of colonizing the space around us. There are lots of minerals and resources on Mars which could be used when the resources on the earth dwindle. We should be using the carbon imprints to safeguard the environment, and rightly so Mars is the right candidate to begin dating carbon.

The rover size is crucial to its design that should be able to withhold the weak atmospheric pressure and lower gravity than the earth. The rover is about 10 feet long (not including the arm), 9 feet wide, and 7 feet tall (about 3 meters long, 2.7 meters wide, and 2.2 meters tall). But at 2,260 pounds (1,025 kilograms), Perseverance is about 278 pounds (126 kilograms).

As pointed out by the earlier Curiosity rover, the martian atmosphere contains methane gas which happens to flow from living things. The Severance mission will continue its probe where Curiosity left. It would be interesting to see if the rover could find the microbial life of which mankind is waiting to hear in affirmative.

It would be a consolation for NASA team who beat the Covid-19 pandemic in preparing the launch on schedule. It is hoped the mankind will have something to cheer about, as comes this July end.
