Rakesh Sharma went on to become the first Indian citizen to reach outer space on April 2, 1984, when he flew aboard the Soviet rocket Soyuz T-11 launched from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome. Nelson is on his maiden visit to India to oversee the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR).
NASA reported that Earth is continuously experiencing solar storms and it further states that there might be another storm approaching today, one of these CMEs might be the collision course.
The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) is likely to be launched in January 2024 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The mission has a three-year duration and aims to survey the entire Earth's land and ice-covered surfaces every 12 days.
The NISAR mission is to carry on the promise of significantly advancing our understanding of the earth's dynamics, natural processes and climate change impacts. The collaboration of ISRO and NASA is a remarkable joint effort for international cooperation.
NASA has shared the images of the cluster containing stars which are very old- with the age of around 12 billion years to 2 billion years. The United States’ space agency calls it a globular cluster which is located around 30,000 light-years away from the Earth.
Alexander de la Vega, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Riverside stated "This galaxy, named ceers-2112, formed soon after the Big Bang."
NASA shared a stunning photo of a green aurora taken from the International Space Station. The photo shows Earth's surface below the green glow of the aurora above Utah.
Earlier, NASA's Lucy spacecraft on Wednesday (November 1) encountered the first of 10 asteroids on its long journey to Jupiter. The spacecraft swooped past the pint-sized Dinkinesh, about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers) away in the main asteroid belt beyond Mars.

Lucy, unlike other missions, will not be stopping to collect samples of the asteroids on the way of her destinations.
ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 soft landed on the lunar surface on August 23 this year, making India the fourth country to land on the Moon. PM Modi named the landing point of Vikram lander as Shiv Shakti Point.
At the Cancun Planetarium, young visitors built box projectors to indirectly and safely view the ring of fire. The ancient Maya may have used dark volcanic glass to protect their eyes, said archeologist Arturo Montero of Tepeyac University in Mexico City.
NASA Psyche mission: NASA expects the test to yield more than 10 times the amount of data, enough to transmit videos from the moon or Mars one day. The spacecraft should have soared a year ago, but was held up by delays in flight software testing attributed to poor management and other issues.
The precise measurement of the gathered samples, initially estimated at around 250 grams or approximately a cupful, will be established when the primary sample container is unsealed, expected to transpire within the coming fortnight.
According to scientists, the chances of Bennu colliding with the Earth are only 0.037 percent and when this happens 1200 megatons of energy will be released that can be 24 times more harmful than a nuclear blast.
NASA estimates that more than 10,000 satellites have been launched into space since 1957, with over half of them now defunct. There are over 25,000 pieces of space debris measuring over 10cm long, posing risks to operational satellites and even human activities such as spacewalks.
The distinctive shape of Pan, resembling a dumpling, is attributed to the ridge around its equator, which is similar to another of Saturn's moons, Atlas.
Scientists estimate the capsule holds at least a cup of rubble from the carbon-rich asteroid known as Bennu, but won't know for sure until the container is opened.
Aditya L1 update: The US Space Agency launched the Parker Solar Probe in 2018 to study the Sun's outer corona. America's Parker Solar Probe was somehow successful in avoiding this solar storm.
The latest mission is a joint US-Russia venture in space despite hostilities between the countries reaching an all-time high over the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
