Mesmerizing view of lunar halo at IIMC

A unique view of the lunar halo was seen on the night of 21 March 2024 at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication in Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram state.

Let us look about the lunar halo a little more closely-

We get to see various types of events or scenes in the sky. A halo is sometimes seen around the sun or moon, which appears near the sun or moon in the form of a ring, i.e. a spherical circle. This is the result of the presence of ice crystals in the atmosphere. These ice crystals are present in the troposphere at an altitude of about five to ten in the Earth’s atmosphere.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere. It contains 75% of the total mass of the planetary atmosphere and 99% of the total mass of water vapor and aerosols, and is where most meteorological events occur. When sunlight or moonlight falls on the troposphere, these act as tiny prisms and split the light into different colors, creating a new form that is quite a mesmerizing sight.

Srishti, a student of Indian Institute of Mass Communication, looks up at the sky, her face filled with excitement and calls out to her friend Teesha, and Shantanu and Nitish, who are present there, also look up at the sky. The pure beauty of the sky was like a thirsty person getting water in the scorching heat of a desert. The solace that the soul gets inside was far beyond this view.

Water leakage from pipes and paper leak before exams: Harmful

  The capital of Maharashtra received a mere 3.7 mm of rain, resulting in 59% less rainfall than the normal 9 mm. Sensing the danger of this water shortage, BMC officials announced the decision to implement a series of water cuts in the city, first by 5 percent and later by 10 percent from June 5. Around 12 thousand people live in Borivali’s Eksar Dongri. An elderly woman tells us that she has been struggling with the problem of water for many years. She is now 70 years old and even today she is struggling for water. Due to the scorching heat all around the country, the government has closed schools so that children can stay safe from the scorching heat at home. On the other hand, there is no hurry to see the other picture, which is the failure of the government, where children run after tankers for water all day long. Neither the children are able to escape the heat nor are they able to study properly. This is the negligence of the entire system somewhere. More than 25% of Mumba...

People in Taiwan like a video in which Roger is looking for some clues and seeing his confused face, the handler felt that something was wrong, and then they found the victim.

The artworks carved on the walls are not just a symbol of beauty. These walls are a symbol of Jharkhand’s rich heritage, which is known by the name of Padma Fort. Buildings are living witnesses of any tradition and history. They give a sense of historical significance along with the cultural significance of the society and environment of their time.
