NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 astronauts lifted off at 12 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Oct. 5, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, bound for the International Space Station for the fifth commercial crew rotation mission aboard the microgravity laboratory. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Crew Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina, into orbit to begin a long-duration science mission on the space station. The Crew Dragon spacecraft, named Endurance, will dock autonomously to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module at 4:57 p.m. EDT Thursday, Oct. 6.

Chandrayaan-3 is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It consists of Lander and Rover configuration. It will be launched by LVM3 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The propulsion module will carry the lander and rover configuration till 100 km lunar orbit. The propulsion module has Spectro-polarimetry of Habitable Planet Earth (SHAPE) payload to study the spectral and Polari metric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. Chandrayaan-3 consists of an indigenous Lander module (LM), Propulsion module (PM) and a Rover with an objective of developing and demonstrating new technologies required for Inter planetary missions. The Lander will have the capability to soft land at a specified lunar site and deploy the Rover which will carry out in-situ chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility. The Lander and the Rover have scientific payloads to carry out experiments on the lunar surface.

This mosaic combines more than 900 images from all 24-by-90-degree sectors surveyed by NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) through October 2022. The mosaic covers 93% of the sky and builds up in chronological order, illustrating the mission's progress over the past five years. TESS has discovered 329 new worlds and thousands more candidates, and provided new insights into a variety of cosmic phenomena. A prominent feature in the mosaic is the Milky Way, a glowing U-shaped band that represents the bright central plane of our galaxy.

Using NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, which launched in 2004, scientists have discovered a black hole in a distant galaxy repeatedly nibbling on a Sun-like star. The object heralds a new era of Swift science made possible by a novel method for analyzing data from the satellite’s X-ray Telescope (XRT). When a star strays too close to a monster black hole, gravitational forces create intense tides that break the star apart into a stream of gas. The leading edge swings around the black hole, and the trailing edge escapes the system. These destructive episodes are called tidal disruption events. Astronomers see them as flares of multiwavelength light created when the debris collides with a disk of material already orbiting the black hole. Recently, astronomers have been investigating variations on this phenomena, which they call partial or repeating tidal disruptions. During these events, every time an orbiting star passes close to a black hole, the star bulges outward and sheds material, but survives. The process repeats until the star looses too much gas and finally breaks apart. The characteristics of the individual star and black hole system determine what kind of emission scientists observe, creating a wide array of behaviors to categorize. On June 22, 2022, XRT captured Swift J0230 for the first time. It lit up in a galaxy around 500 million light-years away in the northern constellation Triangulum. Swift’s XRT has observed nine additional outbursts from the same location roughly every few weeks. Scientists propose that Swift J0230 is a repeating tidal disruption of a Sun-like star orbiting a black hole with over 200,000 times the Sun’s mass. They estimate the star loses around three Earth masses of material on each pass. This system provides a bridge between other types of suspected repeating disruptions and allowed scientists to model how interactions between different star types and black hole sizes affect what we observe. Swift J0230’s discovery was possible thanks to a new, automated search of XRT observations called the Swift X-ray Transient Detector. After the instrument observes a portion of the sky, the data is transmitted to the ground, and the program compares it to previous XRT snapshots of the same spot. If that portion of the X-ray sky has changed, scientists get an alert. In the case of Swift J0230, astronomers were able to rapidly coordinate additional observations of the region

Hello friends, Gaurav here . And Chandrayaan-3 is continuously making incredible discoveries while being their on the moon!!! Right from finding sulphur to other elements and even other interesting discoveries are on it’s way!! So, hop into this video get detailed information about these findings…

In this episode, we will show you some amazing new images and updates from India’s historic moon mission, Chandrayaan-3. Chandrayaan-3 is the first mission to land in the lunar south pole region, making India the fourth country to successfully land on the moon. We will explain how Chandrayaan-3 works and what it has achieved and found so far, using its scientific instruments and methods. We will also explain why these findings are important and what they can reveal about the moon and its history.

Chandrayaan-3: 40 Days, Why?

Mars was not always a dusty and desolate world. There is ample evidence that the planet was once warm, had lakes of liquid water, and was habitable for a brief period in its history. Researchers now hoped to find traces of this era inside the planet and answers to the question of why Mars changed so drastically. What they then actually discovered shows that Mars is still alive. What does this mean now exactly also in view of the future settlement of the planet? And could Mars become a living world again through clever terraforming?

Witness the moment NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 mission, which includes UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, returns to Earth.

A game-changing moment emerged in 2008 when India's Chandrayaan-1 mission unveiled an astonishing find: water on the moon's surface. This groundbreaking revelation reignited the world's fascination with lunar exploration, triggering an international craze that saw major players like China, the United States, and Israel join the pursuit. Fast forward to today, and India takes centre stage once more with Chandrayaan 3, its third lunar mission. This determined effort follows a setback experienced during the Chandrayaan 2 mission in 2019, showcasing India's unwavering commitment to unravelling the moon's mysteries. Wondering about the past, present, and future of lunar exploration? Join Dhruv Rathee in this video to dive into all the exciting details!

The story of Apollo 13, showcasing the remarkable human resilience and determination to survive against overwhelming odds. The mission began in Florida, USA, as three astronauts embarked on an audacious journey to the moon, driven by the success of previous lunar missions. However, their aspirations of moonwalking were abruptly shattered just two days later when a sudden and powerful explosion rocked their spacecraft 210,000 miles away from Earth. The ship's alarms blared, lights flashed, and the astronauts found themselves in a dire situation. Stranded far from home with limited oxygen, they were faced with an unprecedented crisis that demanded their utmost courage and resourcefulness. Did they manage to get back to earth? What was their fate? Find out in this gripping video by Dhruv Rathee.
