ISRO And Australian Space Agency Sign Implementation Agreement for Gaganyaan Crew Recovery

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has formalised an Implementation Agreement (IA) with the Australian Space Agency (ASA) to enhance cooperative efforts in the field of space exploration. This agreement, which was signed last week, focuses on collaborative measures for crew and module recovery under India’s Gaganyaan mission, a key…

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away

The Hubble Space Telescope, a joint project of NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) has provided a unique look at the spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located approximately 150 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. Unlike the typical top-down perspective of galaxies, this image presents UGC 10043 from an…

China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins

China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins

China is reportedly preparing to activate one of the world’s most advanced X-ray light sources, the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), located near Beijing. This facility, built at a cost of $657 million, is expected to emit X-ray beams into experimental stations by late December. The fourth-generation synchrotron, one of…

Space Debris Accumulation in the Stratosphere Threatens Major Environmental Risks

Space Debris Accumulation in the Stratosphere Threatens Major Environmental Risks

The growing presence of satellite debris in Earth’s atmosphere has raised significant concerns among scientists about its potential environmental consequences. With over 10,000 active satellites currently orbiting the planet—a figure predicted to surpass 100,000 by the 2030s and potentially half a million in the decades ahead—the environmental implications of satellite…

Heart-Shaped Clams Channel Sunlight Using Fiber Optic-Like Structures, Says Study

Heart-Shaped Clams Channel Sunlight Using Fiber Optic-Like Structures, Says Study

Researchers have discovered a biological adaptation in heart cockles (Corculum cardissa), a species of bivalve found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. These clams possess unique structures in their shells that act similarly to fibre optics, guiding sunlight to symbiotic algae living within them. This allows the clams to provide…

No Verifiable Evidence of UFO Sightings But ‘Very Anomalous Objects’ Exist, Says US Government Agency

In a recent Senate testimony, Jon T. Kosloski, Director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), clarified the office’s stance on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) and their ongoing investigations. Speaking to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities on November 19, Kosloski emphasised that AARO…

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Passes Its Biggest Test After Observations From Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Passes Its Biggest Test After Observations From Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

In a new study published on Tuesday, researchers from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) project suggest that the mysterious force known as dark energy might not remain constant over time, challenging existing assumptions in cosmology. While the findings hint that dark energy, believed to drive the universe’s accelerated expansion,…
