NASA CODEX Telescope on ISS Reveals Hidden Secrets of the Sun’s Corona
NASA has introduced CODEX, a cutting-edge mini solar telescope attached to the International Space Station, which is offering groundbreaking observations of the Sun's corona. Unlike past instruments, CODEX can measure both temperature and speed of solar wind particles. This innovation aims to improve our understanding of solar weather, especially a...

Supermassive Black Hole Burps Matter at Near-Light Speeds After Consuming Gas Too Fast
Astronomers observed a supermassive black hole expelling gas at nearly a third the speed of light after consuming matter too fast. This outflow could suppress star formation by heating and ejecting gas, revealing how black holes regulate galaxy evolution. The finding helps decode the feedback mechanisms of quasars and active galactic nuclei in shap...

Chenab Rail Bridge: The Tech Behind the World’s Highest Railway Bridge
Chenab Rail Bridge, the highest rail bridge and arch bridge in the world, is all set to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. The inauguration ceremony is for the 63 km stretch of the Katra-Sangaldan section, part of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), which also includes the Chenab bridge.

Rain, Thunderstorm Expected In Delhi Today: Weather Office
Delhi-NCR is set to witness more rain and stormy weather on Friday, as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for the region, warning of thunderstorms, lightning, and strong winds reaching speeds of 50-60 km/h.

Delhi Air Quality Slips Into Poor Category After Overnight Dust Storm
A layer of dust covered the city on Thursday morning after overnight dust storms, reducing visibility and leading to a dip in the air quality. The dust storms were triggered by gusty winds sweeping at speeds of 30 to 40 kmph, according to IMD.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Completes Second Close Flyby of the Sun at Record Speed
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed a close flyby of the Sun on March 22, travelling at 692,000 kilometres per hour and approaching within 6.1 million kilometres of the solar surface. The mission, designed to study solar winds and space weather, received a healthy signal back on March 25. The team, including NASA and Johns Hopkins APL experts, ha...

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

Massive 500,000-Mile Coronal Hole on the Sun Blasts Solar Wind Toward Earth
A gigantic coronal hole, spanning 500,000 miles, has formed on the sun’s surface, allowing solar wind to escape at speeds of over 310 miles per second. Forecasts indicate that this solar wind may reach Earth by January 31, triggering a minor (G1) geomagnetic storm. While no severe impact is expected, the storm could enhance auroras at higher lati...

Webb Telescope Tracks Formation and Expansion of Carbon-Rich Dust Shells in Star System
As per the latest report by NASA, the system consists of two stars in an elongated orbit. When these stars come closest, their stellar winds collide, compressing material and forming carbon-rich dust. As reported in an official press release by NASA, Emma Lieb, a doctoral student at the University of Denver and the study's lead author, noted that t...

NASA Confirms Successful Flyby of Parker Solar Probe, Completes Closest Sun Approach
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has set an unprecedented milestone, coming 3.8 million miles from the Sun at a speed of 430,000 mph. Launched in 2018, the spacecraft has utilised Venus flybys to perfect its orbit, enabling this historic feat. With advanced technology, it endures extreme temperatures, gathering critical data about solar wind and particle ...

Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

GRAP-3 Rules Reimposed In Delhi-NCR: What's Allowed, What's Not
The Graded Response Action Plan Level-III (GRAP-III) restrictions were reimposed in Delhi and the national capital region due to "highly unfavourable meteorological conditions," including low wind speeds and very low mixing height.

No GRAP 3 Anti-Pollution Measures In Smog-Hit Delhi. Minister Explains Why
Delhi's air quality remained in the 'severe' category for a second day on Thursday, with low wind speed contributing to a thick fog layer across the national capital.
