Aditya- L1 is a Solar observation satellite that will study coronal heating, solar winds, magnetic storms, and more. It is launching to a halo orbit around Lagrange 1 (L1).The launch date is currently targeted for Saturday, September 2, 2023 at 11:50 AM (IST).This is ISROs first ever dedicated mission to study the Sun.

The universe was born with the Big Bang as an unimaginably hot, dense point. When the universe was just 10⁻³⁴ of a second or so old — that is, a hundredth of a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second in age — it experienced an incredible burst of expansion known as

Planet Nine – also referred to as Planet X – is a massive, hypothetical object in an elliptical orbit far beyond Pluto, roughly at a distance that would take 10,000 to 20,000 Earth years for it to complete a single trip around the Sun. Though no direct observations have ever been made of an object

With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. NASA will built an Artemis Base Camp on the surface and the Gateway in lunar orbit. These elements will allow our robots and astronauts to

The LCRT’s primary objective would be to measure the long-wavelength radio waves generated by the cosmic Dark Ages – a period that lasted for a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, but before the first stars blinked into existence. Cosmologists know little about this period but think the answers to some of science’s

K2-18b is an exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf, located 124 light-years away from Earth. The planet, initially discovered with the Kepler space telescope, is about eight times the mass of Earth, and is thus classified as Mini-Neptune. It has a 33-day orbit within the star’s habitable zone, meaning that it receives about a similar amount

OSIRIS-REx is the first U.S. mission to collect a sample from an asteroid. It returned to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023, to drop off material from asteroid Bennu. The spacecraft didn’t land, but continued on to a new mission to explore asteroid Apophis. Meanwhile, scientists hope the pristine samples it dropped into the Utah desert

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three physicists — Pierre Agostini at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ferenc Krausz at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, and Anne L’Huillier at Lund University, Sweden — for their research into attosecond pulses of light.Attosecond physics allows scientists to look

Large constellations of bright artificial satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) pose significant challenges to ground-based astronomy. Current orbiting constellation satellites have brightness’s between apparent magnitudes 4 and 6. Satellite operators, astronomers, and other users of the night sky are working on brightness mitigation strategies. Radio emissions induce further potential risk to ground-based radio telescopes

The Sun’s position in the sky changes when looked at during the same time each day from the same location throughout the year. The video is showing how the Sun changes its position in the sky in two months. This phenomenon is called as Analemma.
