Five asteroids are set to approach our planet, with two of them making their closest approaches today. The dashboard provides information on the date of closest approach, approximate object diameter, relative size, and distance from Earth for each encounter. Fortunately, none of the asteroids pose a threat to Earth. The upcoming asteroids vary in size, with the smallest being 45-feet and the largest being 150-feet wide. These rocks will make their closest approaches at varying distances from Earth, with the farthest being 5,750,000 km away on April 5. NASA notes that even though the largest asteroid, 2023 FZ3, is the size of an airplane and traveling at a speed of 67,656 kmph, it is not a potentially hazardous threat to Earth. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun. They

Electric shortfall & green energy

Image
E lectricity shortages are a persistent problem in Pakistan. The country faces a chronic energy shortfall, with a peak demand of 26,000 MW against a supply of only 18,000 MW. The shortfall has resulted in frequent power outages that can last up to 12 hours a day in some areas, severely impacting the country's economy and quality of life for its citizens. This article will examine the potential cost savings of switching to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. The majority of electricity in Pakistan is produced through thermal power plants that run on fossil fuels like oil and gas. The cost of electricity generation through these plants is high due to the fluctuating cost of fuel, which is affected by global oil prices. Additionally, these plants emit greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, which has a negative impact on the environment and human health. The high cost of fuel-based electricity generation makes it unaffordable for many households in Pakistan
