Topic:‐ CS MSC B

1) Read the following passage and answer the question that follow:

Delhi skies were just clear enough last Sunday to let sky‐watchers have a ringside view of a close encounter in space: a
half‐a‐mile‐wide asteroid buzzing the earth at a distance a little farther than the moon. It was a rare opportunity to watch a
close‐up of one of these visitors from the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter who often drop in without
notice and cause the world’s pulse to quicken.
A two‐mile wide tumbling rock from space suddenly became the cynosure of all telescopes last month as astronomers
proclaimed it ‘the most earth‐threatening object’ ever detected. Preliminary calculations even suggested it might hit the
earth in 2019. That it proved to be a false alarm is another matter. What’s important is that such celestial brushes may form
part of a countdown to Armageddon.
For every asteroid spotted, several whiz by unnoticed, with some actually passing closer to us than the moon. The number
of these Near Earth Objects, or NEOs, far exceeds the known list—a catalogue that needs to be completed before it’s too
late.
Space agencies have projects to push potential earth‐grazers off course. But there’s yet to be a comprehensive global
space watch programme. Most NEOs slip through unnoticed because of limitations to telescope time, technology and
funding. So, it’s important for governments not to grudge asteroid hunters the resources they badly need to keep a close
watch.
A global asteroid monitoring system of sorts already exists in the form of an assorted group of government and private
agencies, along with amateur and professional asteroid researchers. But it has no mechanism to assess the risk factors of
NEOs or to determine what, and how much, information should be passed on to the public. As a result, the discoveries of
more NEOs do not necessarily lead to a corresponding increase in public awareness of the threat they pose. Newspapers,
television and movies aren’t of much help either, and a confused public is often left wondering what’s fact and what’s
fiction.
In fact, a kind of ‘cry‐wolf syndrome’ sets in after every sighting, lowering the threat perception in the public mind. If or,
more likely, when—there’s an asteroid strike, events like Hiroshima and September 11 would pale in comparison. In the
cosmic shooting gallery, bruisers larger than a mile across probably have a chance of walloping the earth every 100,000 to
300,000 years, while those 330 feet or larger could score a hit every 1,000 to 2,000 years.
The biggies cause the most concern. If a hunk of stone and metal the size of a 20‐storey building hits the earth and sets off
a million‐megaton blast, it’d be like a million city‐ busting bombs going off simultaneously. Deaths could be counted in
millions and most of the flora and fauna would vanish.
Didn’t the dinosaurs once think the planet would forever be one big Jurassic Park? The poor beasts never had a space
programme and became a smorgasbord for a nasty asteroid. The moral then is to have a space watch programme which
includes professional and amateur astronomers maintaining a nightly vigil around the globe. A powerful telescope could be
placed outside the earth’s orbit to monitor the blind spot created by the sun and rule out unexpected impacts.
In the northern hemisphere, scores of professional astronomers constantly scan the dark skies for tiny points of light and
their tell‐tale tracks. But the southern hemisphere is yet to have such sky sentinels whose computers could crunch foot‐long
numbers to find out if the ultimate destination of any of these shadow mountains in space is Planet Earth.

NEOs or to determine what, and how much, information should be passed on to the public. As a result, the discoveries of
more NEOs do not necessarily lead to a corresponding increase in public awareness of the threat they pose. Newspapers,
television and movies aren’t of much help either, and a confused public is often left wondering what’s fact and what’s
fiction.
In fact, a kind of ‘cry‐wolf syndrome’ sets in after every sighting, lowering the threat perception in the public mind. If or,
more likely, when—there’s an asteroid strike, events like Hiroshima and September 11 would pale in comparison. In the
cosmic shooting gallery, bruisers larger than a mile across probably have a chance of walloping the earth every 100,000 to
300,000 years, while those 330 feet or larger could score a hit every 1,000 to 2,000 years.
The biggies cause the most concern. If a hunk of stone and metal the size of a 20‐storey building hits the earth and sets off
a million‐megaton blast, it’d be like a million city‐ busting bombs going off simultaneously. Deaths could be counted in
millions and most of the flora and fauna would vanish.
Didn’t the dinosaurs once think the planet would forever be one big Jurassic Park? The poor beasts never had a space
programme and became a smorgasbord for a nasty asteroid. The moral then is to have a space watch programme which
includes professional and amateur astronomers maintaining a nightly vigil around the globe. A powerful telescope could be
placed outside the earth’s orbit to monitor the blind spot created by the sun and rule out unexpected impacts.
In the northern hemisphere, scores of professional astronomers constantly scan the dark skies for tiny points of light and
their tell‐tale tracks. But the southern hemisphere is yet to have such sky sentinels whose computers could crunch foot‐long
numbers to find out if the ultimate destination of any of these shadow mountains in space is Planet Earth.

4) Read the following passage and answer the question that follow:

Delhi skies were just clear enough last Sunday to let sky‐watchers have a ringside view of a close encounter in space: a
half‐a‐mile‐wide asteroid buzzing the earth at a distance a little farther than the moon. It was a rare opportunity to watch a
close‐up of one of these visitors from the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter who often drop in without
notice and cause the world’s pulse to quicken.
A two‐mile wide tumbling rock from space suddenly became the cynosure of all telescopes last month as astronomers
proclaimed it ‘the most earth‐threatening object’ ever detected. Preliminary calculations even suggested it might hit the
earth in 2019. That it proved to be a false alarm is another matter. What’s important is that such celestial brushes may form
part of a countdown to Armageddon.
For every asteroid spotted, several whiz by unnoticed, with some actually passing closer to us than the moon. The number
of these Near Earth Objects, or NEOs, far exceeds the known list—a catalogue that needs to be completed before it’s too
late.
Space agencies have projects to push potential earth‐grazers off course. But there’s yet to be a comprehensive global
space watch programme. Most NEOs slip through unnoticed because of limitations to telescope time, technology and
funding. So, it’s important for governments not to grudge asteroid hunters the resources they badly need to keep a close
watch.
