Webb, which is touted as the US space agency's next great space observatory, was first targeted to launch in March this year. It was later pushed back to October due to impacts from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, as well as technical challenges.
Russia's space agency Roscosmos said the incident took place in the Russian-built Zvezda module and occurred as the station's batteries were being recharged.
Researchers from National Centre for Disease Control, Delhi, under the Ministry of Health; CSIR Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi, and University of Cambridge in the UK examined how the Delta variant was able to evade the immune response.
"For all of NASA science, this is truly a historic moment," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Rogozin said the agency aims to develop the new space station with a higher efficiency factor than that of the current International Space Station (ISS).
In a year of Covid-19, the editorial warns that the greatest threat to global public health into the future is the continued failure of world leaders to take adequate action to keep the global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius as decided in the UN-mandated Paris Agreement in 2015 and to restore nature.
The Chandrayaan-2 has completed more than 9,000 orbits around the Moon, ISRO Chairman, K Sivan said.
Chandrayaan-2 data product and science documents were released by Sivan, also Secretary in the Department of Space (DoS), along with data from Chandrayaan-2 orbiter payloads, Bengaluru-headquartered ISRO said in a statement.
The revelation by Ian Lipkin, a professor at Columbia University honoured by China for work on the first Sars epidemic earlier this century, undermines the official Beijing narrative on the origins, the report said.
Early this year in February, SpaceX announced the charity-driven mission named Inspiration4, which will be commanded by tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman and will have three others.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, showed that humanity may have been exposed to sarbecoviruses -- which has the potential to jump from animals to humans -- since the Paleolithic period -- roughly 2.5 million years ago to 10,000 BC.
"Shower Shower Hour! Astronauts can’t take showers in space or the water would go everywhere, so I thought I would demonstrate how we keep hair clean on the @Space_Station. The simple things we take for granted on Earth are not so simple in micro-gravity!" NASA astronaut Megan McArthur wrote.
After completing its second coring, Perseverance manoeuvred the corer, bit, and open end of the sample tube in order to be imaged by the rover's Mastcam-Z instrument.
Researchers from Yale University, US, tracked more than 340,000 adults across 600 villages in rural Bangladesh. The findings, published as a preprint, showed that mask-wearing can have a significant impact on limiting the spread of symptomatic Covid-19, the Washington Post reported.
The study, led by the UCL and Public Health England researchers, surveyed 3,065 11- to 17-year-olds in England who had positive results in a PCR test between January and March as well as a matched control group of 3,739 11- to 17-year-olds who tested negative over the same period.
The findings, published in the journal Science Immunology, showed that around 10 percent of people with severe Covid-19 had autoantibodies that attack and block type interferons -- protein molecules in the blood that have a critical role in fighting off viral infections
Landslides are geomorphological processes occurring under specific environmental conditions. On Mars as on Earth, they come in various shapes and sizes, and Earth analogues are used to understand similar processes seen on planetary bodies.
"SpaceX will try to catch largest ever flying object with robot chopsticks. Success is not guaranteed, but excitement is," Musk wrote while sharing a clip from movie 'The Karate Kid'. In the clip one can see two leading actors from the film trying to catch a fly.
Sending human travellers to Mars would require scientists and engineers to overcome a range of technological and safety obstacles.
Brown dwarfs are astronomical objects with masses between those of planets and stars. The question of where exactly the limits of their mass lie remains a matter of debate, especially since their constitution is very similar to that of low-mass stars.
