ISRO DISCOVERS RED HIMALAYAN GLACIAL LAKE IN LADAKH ## इसरो लद्दाख के हिमालय मे लाल ग्लेशियल झील का पता लगाया है ##


Scientists from the ISRO have reported
the existence of a new glacial lake in
the Northeast Himalayas.
On the basis of satellite images taken
over the past 20 years, it is said to have
reddish brown waters.
Location: 5060 meters above sea level, near the Zanskar valley, Ladakh
It is 11 kilometers from the nearest
village, and covers an area of
approximately 0.2 square kilometers.


The lake is being fed by a glacier, and the researchers suggest that it has either been formed or expanded due to glacial melt caused by climate change.

Red color

Due to the local geology and iron-rich minerals of the region, like hematite and goethite, that interact with snow and glacial meltwaters and subsequently deposits red suspension in the lake. The lake's unique geochemistry and the molecules reflect the light at longer wavelengths, making the Himalayan glacial lake appear red.

 

Melting Glaciers and Climate Change

Glaciers are melting and lakes are
swelling rapidly Example: Lake in Sikkim that was .nonly 2,600 feet (800 meters) in  length in 1988 has doubled to 5,200 feet (1,600 meters). 

Bad News

 इसरो के वैज्ञानिकों ने पूर्वोत्तर हिमालय में एक नई हिमनदी झील के अस्तित्व की सूचना दी है।
 पिछले 20 वर्षों में ली गई उपग्रह छवियों के आधार पर, यह भूरा पानी है। स्थान: समुद्र तल से 5060 मीटर की ऊँचाई पर, ज़ांस्कर घाटी के पास, लद्दाख यह निकटतम गाँव से 11 किलोमीटर दूर है, और लगभग 0.2 वर्ग किलोमीटर के क्षेत्र को कवर करता है।


 झील एक ग्लेशियर द्वारा खिलाया जा रहा है, और
  शोधकर्ताओं का सुझाव है कि यह या तो जलवायु परिवर्तन के कारण होने वाले हिमनदों के पिघलने के कारण बना या विस्तारित हुआ है।


 लाल रंग


 क्षेत्र के स्थानीय भूविज्ञान और लौह-समृद्ध खनिजों के कारण, हेमटिट और गोइथाइट की तरह, जो बर्फ और हिमनद पिघलवाटर के साथ बातचीत करते हैं और बाद में झील में लाल निलंबन जमा करते हैं।

 झील का अनोखा भू-रसायन और  लंबे तरंग दैर्ध्य पर प्रकाश को प्रतिबिंबित करते हैं, जिससे हिमालय की हिमनदी झील लाल दिखाई देती है।


 पिघलते ग्लेशियर और जलवायु परिवर्तन

 ग्लेशियर पिघल रहे हैं और झीलें तेजी से सूजन कर रही हैं उदाहरण: सिक्किम में झील। 1988 में लंबाई में 2,600 फीट (800 मीटर) थी, जो दोगुनी होकर 5,200 फीट (1,600 मीटर) हो गई है।

 बुरी खबर

 पास की घाटियों में विशेष रूप से ग्लॉफ़ में बाढ़ के जोखिम बढ़ गए।

DRDO developing DURGA II laser weapon for land, naval, air use?डीआरडीओ भूमि, नौसेना, वायु उपयोग के लिए दुर्गा II लेजर हथियार विकसित कर रहा है?

 DURGA-2 The classified project, dubbed DURGA II (Directionally Unrestricted Ray-Gun Array), will see the Indian Army receive the 100-kilowat, lightweight directed-energy system IS IT THE SAME AS KALI 1 The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) It is a Directed-energy weapon designed to work in such a way that if an enemy missile is launched towards India, it will quickly emit powerful pulses of Relativistic electron beam and destroy the target. Unlike laser beams, it does not bore a hole in the target but thoroughly damages the on-board electronic systems.   DURGA 2 The DRDO is currently requesting $100 million from the MoD for the 2021-2022 budget to produce a high-power laser weapon. DURGA IIl program is currently in the concept stage. DURGA Il is to be integrated with land-, sea- and air-based platforms DETAILS DRDO laboratories engaged in the development of directed-energy technology include the Laser Science and Technology Centre, the Defence Electronics Research Labora...

Inndian Navy finally Gets Access to strategic Agalega island in Mauritius

 Two outer islands of Mauritius located in the Indian Ocean This base on Agalega will cement India's presence in the south-west Indian Ocean and facilitate its power projection aspirations in this region. The small, remote Mauritian island of  North Agalega , located in the south-western Indian Ocean, 1,122 kilometres north of Mauritius, is currently a hive of construction activity. North Agalega Island is some 12 kilometres long and I .5 kilometres wide, with a total population of less than 300 people. Until recently, it was virtually cut off from the world, with a rudimentary jetty and a small airfield barely fit for light aircraft. Officially the Republic of Mauritius, is an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres ( l ,200 mi) off the southeast coast of the African continent 12.7 lakhs The capital and largest city, Port Louis, is located on Mauritius, where most of the population is concentrated. India sought access to the islands in 2015 to develop as an i...
