However, this preliminary observation is not sufficient to precisely determine the asteroid's size, composition, and long-term trajectory, added NASA. Talking about the Earth's key gaps, the summary highlighted, “Decision-making processes and risk tolerance not understood. Limited readiness to quickly implement needed space missions. Timely global coordination of messaging needs attention. Asteroid-impact disaster management plans are not defined.” It is worth noting that this was the first exercise to use data from NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) mission. DART is the first in-space demonstration of a technology for defending the planet against potential asteroid impacts.

Once native to the Barendra region, the Russell’s viper now inhabits at least 25 districts across Bangladesh, with significant populations in the basins of the Padma, Meghna, and Yamuna rivers. This expansion has led to an increase in snakebite incidents, particularly among farmers and fishermen who often work without adequate protective equipment. Traditional beliefs and superstitions in rural areas contribute to delays in seeking proper medical treatment, exacerbating the problem. Despite reports of insufficient antivenom supplies at the upazila level, the Department of Health assures that antivenom is being distributed in high-risk areas. However, timely hospital visits after a snakebite are crucial, as delays can be fatal without ICU support.

The venom of the Russell’s viper is hematotoxic, causing severe tissue damage. A bite leads to immediate swelling and can result in the destruction of various organs, including the lungs and kidneys. Without prompt medical treatment, the affected area can begin to rot within five minutes of the bite.
