It is not possible to survive a moment without oxygen. That oxygen is rapidly disappearing from the earth. Oxygen is declining at such a rapid rate that scientists are becoming increasingly concerned. The earth is getting lighter in weight as oxygen goes into space. NASA scientists have observed that, although the Earth's atmosphere has become increasingly lighter, the oxygen in the air is leaving Earth at a much faster rate than expected.
In 1904, Sir James Jeans wrote in his book, The Dynamic Theory of Gases, that the atmosphere is disappearing from the earth every day. James said that the day would come when there would be no more atmosphere on earth. As a result, the blue planet's fauna will no longer be one of the main means of survival. But that will take at least another 100 million years.
But NASA scientists say the gradual lightening of the atmosphere is not happening so slowly. According to them, 'Every day hundreds of tons of Earth's atmosphere is leaving us in space. As a result, our planet is losing weight at a very fast rate. The world is fast becoming light. '
It has been observed that nitrogen and methane in the air are not depleting at the same rate as oxygen. Which is very useful for microorganisms to survive. Scientists estimate that millions of years ago, our closest neighbor, the red planet Mars, was in such a state. As oxygen decreases, so does carbon dioxide. The vegetation-mountains are decreasing.
A 'Vision-2' sounding rocket was launched off the north coast of Norway on Tuesday night to investigate why oxygen is rapidly depleting. Fancy rocket. Who can be brought back to earth after a few moments of being sent to a specific destination. Aurora borealis can be seen on the north coast of Norway at this time. Polar light. The sounding rocket will enter it in a few moments and come back with the news.
Scientists have not only completed their work by launching rockets, but also a team from NASA's Gordard Space Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, has reached the north coast of Norway. To keep an eye on how the oxygen in the air, the air we breathe, is rapidly disappearing into space.
"We didn't come to see the beauty of the Aurora Borealis," said Himadri Sengupta, an associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Harvard University, a member of NASA's research team. Aurora borealis plays a major role in the lightening of the Earth's atmosphere and the rapid movement of oxygen into space. That's what we came to see.
