After Earth

NASA's Voyager 1 probe -- the most distant man-made object in the universe -- is returning usable information to ground control following months of spouting gibberish, the US space agency announced Monday.

Sometime between now and September, a massive explosion 3,000 light years from Earth will flare up in the night sky, giving amateur astronomers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this space oddity.

Scientists in the United States tried to bounce back some of the sun's rays into space as a way to temporarily cool Earth after the planet witnessed its hottest year on record in 2023, a report by the New York Times said.

The first solar eclipse of 2024 will darken the skies on April 8. This event will be a total solar eclipse, a rare occurrence on Earth. After this event, the next total solar eclipse in the same region will not be seen for two more decades. A total solar eclipse of similar impact is expected in 2044.

Researchers made the discovery after studying earthquakes and discovering that seismometers were picking up shockwaves under the surface of the Earth.

Japan's unmanned Moon lander woke up after surviving a second frigid, two-week lunar night and transmitted new images back to Earth, the country's space agency said Thursday.

The researchers were drawn towards the Last Chance lake after studying a 1990s unpublished master's thesis that had recorded unusually high levels of phosphate there.

Aral Sea was the fourth-largest body of inland water in the world with an area of 68,000 square kilometres. It began shrinking in the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects.

In the remaining months of scientific activity, the satellites will pass through the region where charged particles are accelerated, leading to the creation of Earth's auroras.

Japan's "Moon Sniper" was set to touch down early Saturday on the lunar surface, one of myriad new missions on the back of renewed interest in Earth's natural satellite.

Ben Pobjoy recently applied to Guinness World Records after completing 242 marathons.

Just four days after being launched on its third mission, China's reusable space plane, Shenlong also known as the "Divine Dragon", allegedly released six unidentified objects in Earth's orbit.

Beauty brand Mama Earth's co-founder Ghazal Alagh has joined the debate over menstrual leave, which has become the talk of the town after Union Minister Smriti Irani brought up the issue in the Parliament.

The India-US joint mission to study climate change with the world's most expensive Earth imaging satellite is in its final stages and the launch is expected in the first quarter of 2024, a senior NASA official has said.

India's space research agency - ISRO - has set its sights on Earth's planetary neighbours and expects to mark its presence on Mars and Venus within five years, Dr M Sankaran, Director of the UR Rao Satellite Center in Bengaluru told NDTV.
