In October 2021, Earth received the first radio signals from a planet outside of Solar System using a radio antenna Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR). The LOFAR  is situated in which of the following countries? Correct Answer Netherland

The correct answer is Netherland.

Key Points

  • In a major discovery, astronomers have for the first time detected stars that are blasting radio signals hinting at the presence of hidden planets around them.
  • The signals were picked up using the world’s most powerful radio antenna, the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) situated in the Netherlands.
  • The signals were detected by Dr. Benjamin Pope from the University of Queensland.

Important Points

  • The above findings were published in a study published in Nature Astronomy.
  • The astronomers have detected signals from 19 distant red dwarfs, four of which are best explained by the existence of planets orbiting them. 
  • Earth has auroras, commonly recognized as the northern and southern lights, that also emit powerful radio waves.
  • This is from the interaction of the Earth’s magnetic field with the solar wind.

Additional Information

  •  About Netherland:
    • Capital: Amsterdam
    • Currency: Euro
    • The Netherlands is the sixth-largest contributor of foreign investment into India in Fiscal Year (FY) 2021.
    • The Netherlands is India’s 5th largest trading partner in the European Union. 
    • The Netherlands is home to the largest Indian community on the European mainland.

The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. Out of the four given options, select the most logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph. P- Such a scenario allows for it to have a profound influence on the tides of our oceans, which in turn serves to slow earth’s rotation and hurl the moon further away from us. Q- The gravitational attraction of the moon is also the stabilising factor in a celestial battle between the large bodies of the solar system to throw the planet’s axial obliquity off-balance.  R- The bulk of the moon’s responsibility for impacting upon the planet lies with its gravitation and proximity to the earth. S- The very fact that the moon is here in the first place tells of how fortunate the impact that formed it was. Were it not for that humble collision over 4.5 billion years ago, life on earth would be vastly different today.
