75 Monuments Restored, Many Still Forgotten: Delhi Charts Fresh Heritage Revival Plan
Delhi may boast over thousand monuments, but most lie hidden, neglected or fenced off from public view. Now, the city's government says it wants to bring them back to life, not just as restored structures, but as spaces buzzing with cultural activity

India's Start-Ups Go Big, 12-Satellite Earth Observation Constellation Soon
In a defining moment for India's space ambitions, four private companies -- Pixxel, Piersight, Satsure, and Dhruva Space -- have joined forces to build a 12-satellite Earth observation constellation, nick-named 'Prithvi Drishti'.

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Spots Megaripples, Proof Mars' Soil Is Still Shifting
NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered striking megaripples — giant Martian sand waves — at a site called Kerrlaguna in Jezero Crater. These formations, about a meter tall, are larger than Earth’s beach ripples but smaller than the biggest dunes. Scientists say they formed when Mars had a thicker atmosphere and stronger winds, and many no...

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Planet-Building Dust in the Butterfly Nebula
The James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled stunning new details of the Butterfly Nebula, a planetary nebula 3,400 light-years away. Using its infrared vision, Webb detected crystalline silicates, large dust grains, and carbon-rich PAH molecules within the nebula’s dusty torus. These discoveries reveal how dying stars recycle minerals and organic...

NASA’s Orion Control Room Prepares for Artemis II Lunar Mission
NASA is preparing for Artemis II, the first crewed mission to the Moon since Apollo, with a new control hub at Johnson Space Center. The Orion Mission Evaluation Room (MER) will support flight controllers by monitoring Orion’s systems in real time during the 10-day mission. Staffed 24/7, the MER will compare telemetry with expected performance, t...

A Planet Is Being Born: Astronomers Capture Rare Cosmic Snapshot
Astronomers have captured a groundbreaking sight: WISPIT 2b, a baby gas giant planet forming within a dusty, multi-ring protoplanetary disk around a young Sun-like star 430 light-years away. Infrared images from the Very Large Telescope show the planet carving a dark path in the rings as it feeds on gas and dust. This rare discovery provides the fi...

NASA’s Perseverance Rover Spots Helmet-Like Rock on Mars, Sparks Geology Debate
NASA’s Perseverance rover has photographed a helmet-shaped rock on Mars. Nicknamed “Horneflya,” the unusual spherule-covered formation intrigues scientists exploring how water, volcanic activity, or chemical processes shaped the Martian surface. Captured by Mastcam-Z, the discovery adds to Perseverance’s catalogue of strange formations and ...

NASA Sets Up Orion Mission Evaluation Room to Safeguard Artemis II Astronauts
NASA has unveiled the Orion Mission Evaluation Room at Johnson Space Center to support Artemis II. Staffed by engineers from NASA, Lockheed Martin, ESA, and Airbus, the facility will provide round-the-clock oversight of Orion’s performance as it carries astronauts around the Moon. The new center ensures real-time monitoring, rapid problem-solving...

NASA Telescope Detects Possible Signs Of Alien Life On Distant 'Water World'
Researchers using the Webb telescope found traces of two gases, dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a planet 124 light-years away.

Astronomers Capture Sharpest-Ever Solar Flare Images with NSF’s DKIST Telescope
Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough by capturing the sharpest images of a solar flare ever recorded, using the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). Observed at the hydrogen-alpha wavelength during the decay of an X1.3-class solar flare, the images unveiled hundreds of ultra-fine coronal loops averagin...

James Webb Detects Carbon Dioxide–Dominated Coma in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
The James Webb Space Telescope observed 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar object detected in our solar system. Its coma is unusually rich in carbon dioxide with little water or carbon monoxide, suggesting a CO₂-rich core or an insulating crust. Findings raise new questions about its cosmic origin.
