NASA-backed scientists have created a novel oxygen production system for space. This system uses magnets instead of heavy centrifuges. It separates oxygen bubbles in zero gravity. Tests show it is more effective. This innovation could support lunar and Martian missions. It will allow astronauts to produce oxygen locally. This advancement is crucial for long-term space exploration and habitation.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented images of the planetary nebula NGC 1514, revealing infrared-bright rings around a dying binary star system. These detailed observations, made with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), expose the nebula's complex 4,000-year history and unique thermal dust emission. The findings challenge existing theories about stellar evolution and highlight the intricate interactions within binary systems.
Coffee raves are now a social trend in Indian cities. Cafes are turning into daytime dance floors. This culture is gaining popularity in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other cities. These events feature electronic music, coffee, and a vibrant community. DJ Tanishq is spearheading this trend with his 'More Coffee More Rave' tour.
Indian scientists at RRI, Bengaluru, are developing PRATUSH, a space payload with a credit-card-sized computer, to detect faint radio signals from the Universe's first stars. Supported by DST, PRATUSH aims to explore the 'Cosmic Dawn' from the far side of the Moon, free from Earth's radio interference.
A blood moon, a captivating celestial event, occurs during a total lunar eclipse when Earth's shadow casts a fiery red glow on the Moon. This crimson hue results from sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere, filtering out blue wavelengths. The next visible blood moon will be on September 7-8, 2025, observable across Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa.
