The Major Atmospheric Cherenkov Experiment (MACE) observatory, the largest imaging Cherenkov telescope in Asia built by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) will add a new dimension to scientific research.
The Draconid Meteor Shower 2024 is expected to peak on October 8, with around 10 meteors per hour. The best viewing time is suggested after sunset, as the moon will set a few hours later, minimizing light interference and allowing for clearer views of the meteor shower.
The resulting mission is said to become the first in a new class of NASA astrophysics missions within the agency’s longstanding Explorers Program. The new mission class, Probe Explorers, will further fill a gap between flagship and smaller-scale missions in NASA’s exploration.
The malfunction caused the Falcon 9 booster to fall into an area of the Pacific Ocean outside the designated safety zone approved by the FAA for the mission.
The collaboration between Hubble, James Webb, and ALMA marks a new era of space observation, as scientists continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos through detailed imagery and powerful data.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered a distant galaxy, seen about one billion years after the Big Bang, offering a rare look into the early universe. This galaxy, in a transitional phase between dust clouds and fully formed galaxies, could provide crucial insights into how stars.
The European Space Agency (ESA) will launch its DRACO mission in 2027 to study satellite disintegration during reentry. Partnering with tech firm Deimos, ESA aims to gather data that will help reduce space debris and develop eco-friendly satellite technology for future space missions.
SpaceX has long been the leader in NASA's commercial crew program, established as the space shuttles were retiring more than a decade ago.
Param Rudra Supercomputer, India's latest indigenously developed system, strengthens the nation's research capabilities in areas like AI, climate modeling, and astrophysics. Installed in Pune, Delhi, and Kolkata, it supports India's National Supercomputing Mission for self-reliance in technology.
