Newly Confirmed Super-Earth HD 20794 d May Support Life in Habitable Zone
A super-Earth, HD 20794 d, has been confirmed within a habitable zone 20 light years from Earth. The planet, first detected in 2022, has a mass six times that of Earth and orbits a sun-like star. Although its elliptical orbit affects temperature stability, its potential to sustain liquid water makes it a key target for upcoming space missions. Scie...

ISRO’s Faces SSLV-D1 Data Loss at Terminal Phase of the Mission, Placed in Wrong Orbit
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D1) on Sunday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota. However, the rocket places satellites into an elliptical orbit instead of a circular one. According to the ISRO, the satellites are no longer usable.
