Ground Breaking – NASA Makes Oxygen On Mars

Mitali k

NASA has succeeded in producing enough oxygen on Mars to allow an astronaut to breathe for several hours. NASA has achieved this by using a device, which is about the size of a toaster, called Moxie, onboard NASA’s Perseverance Rover. NASA has made 122g of oxygen. This is enough for an astronaut to breathe for around three hours. NASA hopes that future human missions will take much bigger versions of Moxie to the Red Planet rather than carrying tanks of breathable oxygen with them on rockets from Earth.

The atmosphere of the Red Planet is mostly made up of carbon dioxide – 96% of the planet’s air contains carbon dioxide. Only 0.13% oxygen is found in its atmosphere. Whereas 21% of the Earth’s atmosphere is made up of oxy-gen. Moxie is able to strip the oxygen atoms from carbon dioxide molecules, which are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms.

In the US and Canada, the Black History Month is observed in February.

Every October since 1987, the UK has observed the Black History Month to celebrate the heritage, culture, achievements, contributions, and history of black people in the UK. Now Black History Month also focuses on black British history and key black figures from the UK.

This year’s theme for Black History Month is ‘Time for Change: Action Not Words’. The main objective behind this theme is to encourage people to come together and fight racism. The Black History Month in the UK was initiated by Ghanaian born Akyaaba Addai-Sebo in 1987. October was chosen for the following two reasons:

1. October is the start of a new academic year and so would inspire young children who would be back after a long summer holiday.

2. To reconnect with African roots because traditionally, in October African chiefs and leaders gather together to settle their differences.
