Dear all,
Welcome.
Welcome.
Earthquake tremor: Tremors were felt at Jaipur, Tonk, Kota & adjoining cities at 6:27 am for about five seconds. The earthquake measured 4.1 on richter scale. No loss of property is reported thereafter. It's epicentre was at Tonk, 357 kms away from Delhi.
NGT/NIC: The National Green Tribunal has asked for making Qatar Shipping co. as defendant in oil spill case at Mumbai Coast. It is to note that Oil spillage happened in Arabian sea at 20 nautical miles off the Mumbai coast.
The Tribunal had found that the ship belonged to Delta Navigation Co. whose original name is Delta Group International whereas Delta Shipping Marine services had insured it. The NGT Chairman had ordered it upon petition of Environmentalist S.Mehta. He had demanded compensation for damage caused to aquatic environment. As per the Bench, some documents led to believe that Delta Navigation is the actual owner.
The vessel MV Rack was filled with 60,000 metric tonnes of coal & was shipping it for Gujarat's Adani Thermal power plant. Along with it was 290 tonnes of fuel oil & 50 tonnes of diesel too.
The Bench had also asked MoEF for non-updation of it's website & providing wrong information at National Informatics Centre.

Collision: In the near future, it could be the paint that might be used for averting collision of heavenly bodies to save the Planet Earth. The Texas based A&M University's physicist stated that Triboaching powder dispensing technique might be able to change the direction of such bodies viz. comets, meteorites, etc. Under the said technique, paint would be applied so as to cover the body, which would reduce the amount of energy reflected. This may sound ridiculous but could work.
Water or oil emulsion may not work in space but it could be possible in powder form. NASA is studying on the subject. It is also to note that Apophys, a tiny planet, would be nearing earth on April 13, 2029.
Already, Russian foreign minister had told to develop such techniques like missile protection system to be used for protection from such bodies.

Original_app_mssg(1) Iran & P5 talks
AEOI of Iran had declared to have found new Uranium mines in Northern & Southern coastal areas, which are three times as were estimated. Prior to talks with IAEA, it had notified 16 Atomic Energy Centres too. This could be a cause of concern for Western Countries.
The talks along with six countries[P5+1] at Kazhakasthan would start from Tuesday.These include US, Russia, Britain, France & Germany. The present estimates of Iran would increase to 4400 tonnes. However, if Iran agrees to stop enrichment, the restrictions might be relaxed.

Original_app_mssg(2) Meteorite
A meteor streaked across the sky and exploded over Russia's Ural Mountains with the power of an atomic bomb Friday, its sonic blasts shattering countless windows and injuring about 1,100 people.
The spectacle deeply frightened many Russians, with some elderly women declaring that the world was coming to an end. Many of the injured were cut by flying glass as they flocked to windows, curious about what had produced such a blinding flash of light.
The meteor -- estimated to be about 10 tons and 49 feet wide -- entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 33,000 mph and shattered into pieces about 18-32 miles above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement. But even small asteroids pack a tremendous punch, explained Andrew Cheng of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
"It doesn’t take a very large object. A 10-meter size object already packs the same energy as a nuclear bomb," Cheng, who led a 2000-2001 mission for NASA to orbit and land on an asteroid, told FoxNews.com.

"There was panic. People had no idea what was happening," said Sergey Hametov, a resident of Chelyabinsk, a city of 1 million about 930 miles east of Moscow.
"We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud, thundering sound," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
The meteor hit less than a day before Asteroid 2012 DA14 is to make the closest recorded pass of an asteroid to the Earth for a rock of its size -- about 17,150 miles. But the European Space Agency said its experts had determined there was no connection -- just cosmic coincidence.
