UPSC Quiz Covers Artemis II, Solar Storms, and More
UPSC Essentials has a daily quiz on Science and Technology.
Today's quiz includes questions about NASA's Artemis II mission, which will send astronauts to the Moon, solar storms that can affect Earth, monoclonal antibodies used in cancer treatment, a special material called C-ELM that captures carbon dioxide, and the use of hydrogen as a clean fuel.
The quiz helps people preparing for the UPSC exam to learn about these important topics.
NASA is also inviting people to send their names to the Moon on the Artemis II mission.
Solar storms can create beautiful auroras but also pose risks to technology.
Monoclonal antibodies are man-made and help fight cancer.
C-ELM is a material that can reduce carbon emissions in buildings.
Hydrogen is a clean fuel but has challenges due to its low density.
NASA's Artemis II mission will be the first crewed flight aboard the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft, testing systems for future lunar landings.
Solar storms, caused by coronal mass ejections, can disrupt Earth's magnetic field and create auroras.
Monoclonal antibodies, like Nivolumab, are lab-produced and used to treat cancer by enhancing the immune response.
Cyanobacterial Engineered Living Material (C-ELM) is a biomaterial that captures CO2 through photosynthesis and converts it into calcium carbonate.
Hydrogen fuel is clean but faces challenges due to its low density, making storage and transportation difficult.
