Scientists suggest asteroids can be deflected before reaching Earth Planetary defence research often sits between modelling and imagination, with few chances to test real materials under realistic conditions. A new study changes that balance slightly. Scientists have examined how actual asteroid material reacts when struck by extreme energy, the kind involved in proposed deflection efforts….
Scientists have recorded footage of a large phantom jellyfish off the coast of Argentina during a deep-sea exploration, according to the Schmidt Ocean Institute.The jellyfish was observed by a remotely operated vehicle at a depth of about 820 feet while researchers were surveying the Colorado–Rawson submarine canyon wall.The species is known for its four long…

Space missions and space tourism have started accelerating rapidly. This concept of space tourism may evoke and feels more like a sense of sci-fi, but with a sense of awe and wonder, the space tourism growth has been doing wonders. This may seem like a luxurious experience afforded only by the super-rich segment of the…
SpaceX has set out a plan to shift large-scale artificial intelligence computing away from Earth and into orbit, following its acquisition of xAI. The proposal comes amid growing pressure on terrestrial data centres, which consume vast amounts of electricity and require constant cooling. According to SpaceX, global demand for AI compute is rising faster than…
Ice in New York Bay and the Hudson River, much of which has floated down from further north, and comes and goes with the tide every six hours, in New York, Jan. 30, 2026. In the 19th century, ice sometimes clogged New York’s waterways so thoroughly that pedestrians could stroll off Manhattan — and while…
NEW DELHI: Since Feb 1, the Sun has unleashed a series of powerful solar flares that have triggered warnings from Isro and other space agencies, which are closely monitoring the situation for potential strong radio blackout conditions.Solar flares of this magnitude release vast bursts of electromagnetic radiation that reach Earth almost instantly. While harmless to…
Space minister rules out sabotage in PSLV failures NEW DELHI: Space minister Jitendra Singh has ruled out the possibility of sabotage in two back-to-back PSLV failures and said that separate internal and external failure assessment committees have been set up to analyse what went wrong in each of the missions. He also revealed that Isro…

Global population growth calculation plays a significant role in sustainable development. From the early times, the population growth calculation might be counted as per the study published in Aalto University. Previously thought population, is more than what was previously calculated because of the fact that the calculation was mostly made on the basis of the…
