About

  • Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have used a novel mathematical technique and analysed satellite images to estimate the strength of North Korea’s underground nuclear test of September 2017.
  • Those tests are considered the most powerful thermonuclear devices to have been exploded by the country.
  • In the normal course, the detection and estimation of nuclear device explosions is based on the reading of earthquake monitoring sensors.
  • Results said that it was equal to 17 times that of Hiroshima explosion.
