This Can Ruin the Next Moon Mission
NASA's intentions for the moon are tremendous; one such project is Artemis 2, their next, most ambitious lunar program. By the age of 22, they hope to send astronauts, including the first woman and the following male, to the moon. The main goal of Artemis is to establish a long-lasting presence on the moon. To serve as a launchpad for lunar landings, they intend to build a lunar Gateway, a kind of space station in lunar orbit. Not to mention the fascinating lunar landers that scientists are creating. The Orion spacecraft carrying astronauts will be launched towards the moon by the powerful Space Launch System rocket. The human landing system is another, a sleek lunar lander that will softly touch down on the moon's surface and let astronauts explore and carry out incredible scientific investigations. Additionally, NASA is working with international partners like the European Space Agency to realize this lunar dream rather than traveling alone this time. But anything that initially appears to be incredibly trivial and unimportant could wreck all these beautiful ambitions.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE THROW GARBAGE INTO VOLCANO
Did you know that volcanoes are one of the most powerful forces of nature? Unfortunately, if you were to fall into one, your body would quickly disappear without a trace. But have you ever wondered why we don't use volcanoes to get rid of our garbage? With Americans alone generating about 254 million tons of trash per year, it might seem like the perfect solution. However, volcanoes are actually much more dangerous and unstable than they appear, and not to mention difficult to access. So let's stick to traditional methods of waste disposal for now.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE THROW GARBAGE INTO VOLCANO
Did you know that volcanoes are one of the most powerful forces of nature? Unfortunately, if you were to fall into one, your body would quickly disappear without a trace. But have you ever wondered why we don't use volcanoes to get rid of our garbage? With Americans alone generating about 254 million tons of trash per year, it might seem like the perfect solution. However, volcanoes are actually much more dangerous and unstable than they appear, and not to mention difficult to access. So let's stick to traditional methods of waste disposal for now. Have you ever wondered if dumping our trash in volcanoes would be a good idea? Well, before we get too excited, let's consider some obstacles we might face. Firstly, we'd need to find an active volcano that's suitable for the job. Unfortunately, there are only around 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world, and most of them are located far away from humans. This means that transporting all our trash to an active volcano could be pretty pricey, and even then, we might not find the right kind of volcano. So, do you think it's worth overcoming these obstacles, or should we look for other ways to dispose of our trash? The type of volcano that is being sought after is referred to as a shield volcano, which is a variety that erupts slowly and contains the iconic lava lakes that gradually spew out onto the Earth. Regrettably, these are not commonly found. It is more probable to encounter their volatile counterparts, known as stratovolcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are recognized for their explosive eruptions, which are caused by the accumulation of pressure from hot gas and magma. In other words, they are not the safest location for the town dump. However, let us assume that a suitable active shield volcano is discovered; before contemplating the logistics of transporting our waste there, it is imperative to determine whether it is even a viable option to dispose of it within. Can you imagine being one of the first waste collectors hired to drive up to the vent of a volcano? It sounds pretty crazy, right? The environment up there is super dangerous with poisonous gases, lava splatter, and projectile rocks. And things only get worse once you start throwing trash inside. In fact, back in 2002, some Ethiopian researchers threw a 30 kg bag of trash into a volcano and it caused a huge explosion! Lava lakes are really unstable, so if you throw something cold like trash into them, you'll trigger a chain reaction of explosions involving pressurized and acidic steam. It's pretty wild to think about what would happen if you threw an entire nation's trash in there! To give you an idea, rockfalls into lava lakes in Hawaii have sent lava 85 m (280 feet) into the air. So yeah, it'd be pretty intense So, have you ever thought about throwing your trash into a volcano? Well, even if it seems like a cool idea, it's not really the best option. Burning our waste without filters creates a lot of air pollution, and some materials won't even break down in lava, which could contaminate the surrounding area. Plus, shipping all our trash to volcanoes would increase our carbon footprint. Instead, why not burn our trash somewhere where we can use the heat to create new energy sources? Or, maybe we could even shoot our garbage into space! What do you think?

Why Moon Has Two Different Faces and Other Space Facts
Have you ever seen the Moon's dark side? I see you now. Of course not, but perhaps you've seen pictures of it. Have you ever wondered why the two sides of that situation appear to be so dissimilar? Let me tell you, though. The Moon's other side is obscured to us. People mistakenly assume that this is because the Moon doesn't rotate around its axis. The pace at which the Moon rotates is equal to that of its orbit. Synchronous rotation is a specific type of tidal locking that occurs in this situation.

Apollo 13 mission
11 April 1970, NASA launches its Apollo 13 mission from Kennedy Space Centre. 3 astronauts, commander Jim Lovell, pilot Fred Haise and pilot Jack Swigert were sitting on it who were heading towards moon but interestingly its not even been a complete year since Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon. It was NASA's third mission to send people on Moon. These astronauts were really confident on stepping on moon but they were unaware that their dream will never come true.

The Vanishing Oasis
The desert winds whispered their secrets across the endless sands, carrying tales of a nomadic tribe that had flourished for generations in the heart of the arid wilderness. Their lifeblood was a hidden oasis, a shimmering jewel of life amidst the barren landscape. For as long as anyone could remember, this oasis had been their sanctuary, providing them with water, shade, and a sense of belonging.
