Rover land on Mars(NASA)

More than 200 million kilometers from Earth, in an inhospitable crater that is believed to have been an immense lake, one of the most advanced artificially intelligent robots that human kind has ever built has woken up. Now it is slowly, but surely, powering up its systems and probing the alien world around it, searching for signs of ancient life and sending messages home. On February 18th, the Perseverance rover landed on the red planet, in the Jezero crater, after a seven month long journey through space, and a decade long struggle to develop and test new, cutting-edge technologies that look and sound like they’re straight out of the latest Sci-Fi movies. Except it’s all very real, and we’re actually living in times when the future is now. The Perseverance landing spacecraft (the “sky crane”) was able to analyse the planet’s surface while navigating towards it, compare the information to what it had learned while on Earth, identify dangers and navigate away from them, improve its kno

Real Madrid rumours

  Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane says, "the rumours linking Cristiano Ronaldo with a return to the Spanish capital might be true". Juventus were desperate to bring Ronaldo to Turin to replicate that success in Europe, however, the Italian champions have failed to progress beyond the quarter-final stage since the five-time Ballon d'Or winner arrived. After last week's elimination from the Champions League by underdogs Porto, talk has grown that the move away from Madrid was a mistake and that Ronaldo is destined to return to the club this summer.

Chip shortage- Samsung

-
Image
There’s a serious imbalance in supply and demand of chips in the IT sector globally, Samsung's co-chief executive and mobile chief, Koh Dong-jin, said at a shareholder meeting. "It is hard to say the shortage issue has been solved 100%." Samsung was working with overseas partners to meet demand, he added. Quilter Cheviot research analyst Ben Barringer said: "Growing trade tensions between the US and China put the semiconductor industry in uncertainty, even before the pandemic "  Last month's closure of its chip-fabrication plant by adverse weather conditions in Texas had exacerbated Samsung's problems. Taiwanese research firm TrendForce estimated the shutdown could reduce global smartphone production by 5% in the second quarter of this year.

Covid 3rd Wave Begins

-

  Europe has missed its chance to stop the third wave of the coronavirus epidemic before it got out of control. Now it's paying a high price for it, with new lockdowns being imposed across the continent. France announced new restrictions on 16 regions, including Paris and Nice, though President Emmanuel Macron has refused to reimpose a national lockdown as cases soar.Large parts of Italy including the cities of Rome and Milan once again entered a strict lockdown, while in Spain, all regions except for Madrid have decided to restrict travel over the upcoming Easter holidays. The German capital of Berlin has halted the planned easing of its lockdown too, quoting a rising number of Covid-19 cases. A  more contagious variant of the virus , known as B.1.1.7, seems to be the common culprit behind the chaos. New preliminary data published in the British Medical Journal suggest that the strain, first detected last year in the United Kingdom,  may also be more deadly .

  Amazonia, is a moist broadleaf tropical rainforest in the Amazon biome that covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 km2 (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 km2 (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations and 3,344 formally acknowledged indigenous territories. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Four nations have "Amazonas" as the name of one of their first-level administrative regions, and France uses the name "Guiana Amazonian Park" for its rainforest protected area. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees div

Massive iceberg breaks off from Antarctica

An iceberg the size of Greater London came off the Antarctic ice shelf years after the first cracks formed. Scientists, however, are skeptical of the role of climate change in this case. The iceberg measuring 1,270 square kilometers (490 square miles) came off the 150-meter-thick Brunt Ice Shelf in a process called "calving. Britain's Halley   VI Research Station, which monitors the state   of the vast floating ice shelf daily, is located about 20 kilometers from where the iceberg broke off. The research station was uninhabited when the iceberg finally split as its 12-member team had left earlier this month ahead of the Antarctic winter.Over (the) coming weeks or months, the iceberg may move away; or it could run aground and remain close to Brunt Ice Shelf. Halley Station is located inland of all the active chasms, on the part of the ice shelf that remains connected to the continent," Francis said.
